A writer questions the 1919 1920 hail insurance law and its funding. The piece notes unpaid hail taxes in Barnes County totaling 133 643.56 with 385 284.42 unpaid by Feb 1 1920 and predicts broader unpaid amounts. It warns that penalties and interest are lost and state warrants at 6 percent may be used to cover losses.
The piece argues 6 percent interest on unpaid hail taxes adds direct state losses to the 1920 levy.
