Agricultural College.) It is quite generally conceded that no form of cooperative enterprise has been so successful in the United States as cooperative or mutual in- surance. This form of insurance has been very successfully tried in North Dakota, but is practically limited to the agricultural field. There are, however, seven state mutual fire in- surance companies. There are two forms of mutual insurance in the ag- ricultural field, “The Farmers’ Mutual ot Z = Sy e | Insurance Associations or “Compan- When writing advertisers piease mention the Leade jes” . ies” and “The State Hail Insure ice LEADER READERS! is the car for SERVICE COMFORT DURABILITY ' ' Fully Guaranteed - Hughes Auto Co. 621 N.

Thirty-six in North Dakota, Of the 1867 Farmers’ Mutual In- surance Companies in the United States, North Dakota has 36. On De- cember 31, 1914, 26,333 farmers in North Dakota carried in force, $:4,- 524,816 in The Farmers’ Mutual In- surace Companies. This number of farmers is about a third of the en- tire number in the state. The total losses paid during 1914 was $89,768,- 79, and the premiums received a- mounted to $129,770.04 or approxi- mately $5.00 per policy holder, which surely is very reasonable cost of pro- tection. These coorerative insur- ance companies are ordinarly limit- ed in extent to the various counties. Farmers’ Mutual Ahead. - The one which does the largest business is the Cass County Farmers Mutual Insurance company and the oldest one is theFarmers’ Home Ins surance company of Richland County. The purpose of these roganization is to insure owners of livestock against lIess and also to insure against loss of building by fire and of crops by hail. LET THE RICH PAY. Washington, Nov. 30.—“If the poor man does the fighting let the rich man pay the bills,” Representative Keating, Colorado, todzy told Presi- ‘dent Wilson. Keating had requested a conference solely for the purpose of suggesting his ideas on how the administration should raise the funds required for the natonal defense program. “The Democratic party has two al- ternatives bxfore it,” Keating said, later. “It can retrace its steps and’ fall back on the old idea of increas- ing tariffs, or it can reach out and enter new fields.” X “Personally, I am in favor of tap- ping these new reservoirs of wealth, namely, the fortunes established by or acquired from the rich.” Keating suggested, to the president an increase of the income tax and a strong inheritance tax. Keating would not change the in- come tax to include smaller incomes than are now taxed, but would ns . crease the tax on the incomes now in-+ e i o
