Watson of Ohio to prepare a schedule of in- surance rates and com- pensations in' compliance with the North Dakota workmen’s compensation act is another proof of the will of the North Dakota farmers to make their laws work out as efficiently as possible and with the best results to the people of the state. Mr. Watson has been connected with the Ohio industrial commission and is known among insurance men over the country as the foremost authority in the United States upon the subject of X disability insurance. In recognition of his position he was appointed sole actuary on the committee of insurance of the war department, where he served until the armistice was signed. In addition to being the first actuary to begin specialization in the technical phases of workmen’s compensation in- _ surance and a champion of the state fund loan, Mr. Watson is a confirmed enemy of casualty insurance profiteer- ing. In his work for the federal gov- ernment his investigations into rates charged the war department by pri- vate companies for insuring employes -of . factories working under govern- ment contracts has resulted in pro- ceedings to recover more than $1,800,- 000 excess profits which the companies made in writing $2,369,000 of such in- surance. SERVED MANY OTHER STATES Mr. - Watson at. present has full -charge of the actuarial and underwrit- :ing work of three state funds, includ- ing the Ohio fund, which is the largest in the country; the Maryland fund and the Idaho state fund. He also com- puted the initial rates for the New York funds plan. Mr. Watson was in Bismarck, N. D., recently to close the contract with the workmen’s compensation bureau. Be- fore returning to Columbus he paid a high compliment to the legislature which enacted the North Dakota law. “North Dakota,” he said, “has the most broad and humane workmen’s compensation law enacted. It is bet- ter than those of all other states and excels even the most liberal compen- sation plans of any foreign govern- ment. The law’s perfectly balanced scale of compensation allowances for different degrees of temporary and permanent disability arising from ac- cidents, will enable the employes to derive more benefit from it than any other in existence, not excepting the Ohio law, which until now has led the field. Furthermore, it can be admin- istered at much less cost to the em- ployer than the former private insur- ance system. BOTH WORKERS AND EMPLOYERS GAIN “In illustration of the superiority of the North Dakota law over the " private compensation system, I find that out of $24,000 incurred in liability through accidents to employes of the manufacturing plants "carrying such ~insurance; only $13,000 went to the injured men and women. The other $11,000 went to pay lawyers’ fees and other expenses incident to the collect- ing of insurance claims. Now this $18,000 was the total paid to all those injured and to the dependents of those killed. - But under the new law a man who is deprived of his eyesight will get as much or more than all the workers who were killed or injured in North Dakota last year. Yet the burden of cost will be distributed to all employers so that the state insur- | ance in the end will be cheaper even : g : PAGE ELEVEN than the private line insurance they are buying now.” Mr. Watson will spend the next six or seven weeks computing North Da- kota’s compensation insurance rates. The use of nearly $1,000,000 worth of tabulation machinery has been placed at North Dakota’s disposal through Mr. Watson’s connection with the Ohio industrial commission, thus ef- fecting .a great saving to the state. THE BROOMCORN FARMERS . Cheney Center, Col. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have been looking and longing for just such an organization as the Non- partisan league ever since the Populist party was absorbed by the Democrats. I was one of the farmers that went through the Holly riots a year ago, and I know exactly who the rioters were. If we homesteaders could get to the open market with our broomcorn we sure could make it win out here, but the business is organized from the factory clear down to the local buyer. The factory men recently signed a five-year contract to make all pur- chases through the commission mar- ket. The thing for buyers to do is to organize and build a warehouse of their own. We are building a co-operative broom factory at Holly. The broom- corn trust thought it had us faded and would cut our market, but the state Grange came to our rescue and agreed to take all the brooms the factory could produce. I surely got my $16 worth from the League last year in helping to defeat the crooked political boss of eastern Colorado. Notwithstanding a Repub- lican landslide, we sent a real man, C. W. Burke, to the legislature, and he and W. E. Scott are blazing the trail for more Leaguers to follow. J. H. LINDSEY. ANSWERING DOCTOR HILL Nickwall, Mont. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: In a recent issue of the Leader there’ appeared a statement by Doctor D. J. Hill, president of the National Asso- ciation for Constitutional Govern- ment, in which he said: “It (the Non- partisan league) has even gone so far as to fix an upward limitation of prop- erty rights, above which it urges total confiscation. As the fixing of such limitation is surely an arbitrary mat- ter, you will, of course, recognize the fact that this would not only be crimi- nal infringement of the rights of mi- norities, but that it is essentially the destruction of all property rights whatever ?” Might not Doctor Hill have said it this way: “It (congress, through its food commission), even went so far as to fix an upward limitation of the wheat farmers’ income above which it authorized total confiscation. As the fixing of such a maximum was a pure- ly arbitrary matter, you will, of course, recognize the fact that this was not only a criminal infringement of the rights of minorities, but that it was essentially the destruction of all property rights whatever ?” H. P. DEYARMOND. .LEADER HAS RIGHT RING Pretty Prairie, Kan. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: : I am a subscriber to the Leader. It has the right ring to it. Whenever a paper gets after the old parties and privilege it invariably is the object of attack, but we have to stand for it. It always takes time to educate the people and get them to forget ancient and wornout tradition. 5 F. B, HAMLIN.
