THE WKALTII MAKEIW. DeeemUr 15, IHi mm CuinlaHvd by J. T. M. Kkuit. Corrmpoa. omm uio-itwa. tit, cyeioas or kail. After an absence of three week I again through thin media m make all insurance men a bow. I bar been in DesMoiuesto attend a meeting of .Mutual Insurance men.. About eiirhtr were present. I think that do one could attend such a meeting without reaping benefit. I will give a few of the many topics dis cussed, auy one of them would seem to pay an Insurance roan forhisattondance. How to advocate Mutual Insurance in Iowa. Co-operation of companies. Rules concerning ateam power, gaso line nKiiiuiuK roas, care 01 matcnes. Policies of mutual companies as to col lateral security. How can we best avoid delinauents. Equitable rules for livestock insurance, ana many otner important subjects. And last but not least wasthequestion oox. ine answers Dy the Hon. j. V, Baker were appreciated by all present. In fact the whole meeting was a school to me, commencing Tuesday forenoon and closing Friday evening. How 1 wished for a delegate from each couuty in Ne braska to be present. We w ill make a call for a like meeting looeneia Here in Lincoln in January next.' 11 aeiegares irom our mutual compan ies wouia meet ana compare notes it would prove to be a beneflt. fourteen years ago a few delegates from local companies met in DesMoines and annual meetings bave been held since tnen. Aside irom the benefits derived by forming an advisory association of com- pauies, tbey nave organized a state Cv clone company which uow has 128,000. 000 on its books , This year the company has paid over f zu.uuu ior losses ana yet the assess ment is oniy ten cents per f 100. ' HAIL. they organized a Hail company two years ago. The first year they paid all losses with three eonte por acrj. This year they bave losses amounting to about $30,000, which cost the members less than four ceuts per acre. CITY DWELLINGS. Two years ago these same farmers or ganized a company to Insure citv and town dwelling houHes. The first year the totui loss was but 19 and this year it Has been f 175. Total in nearly two years $104. The company had on the S40th of last month $1,648,898 worth of projierty insured, and no Uoubt they will reach the $2,000,000 beforeJun. 1,1895. This company charges a small contin gent fee, and yet they have $2,600 on hand. The old line companies said two years ago that the farmers had enough to do to attend to their own business, but they ooucluded that as they had made a suc cess of farm business they would help their town friends in protecting their homes. Little did those few men who met fourteen years ago think that they were laying the corner stone of the wonder of the insurance world, i. e., a school by which men would be taught how to save millions anuually. v Great praiso should be given them by all secretaries of Nebraska companies, as nearly all uur education came either di rectly or indirectly from them. There is no reason why we should not do as well in less time, because the lesson has been learned. All we have to do is to follow the advice of the Iowa boys. The first thing to do is to get together and get acquainted. The insurance people in Iowa have an official organ, the Farmers Institute, a monthly paper. It is mainly devoted to institute work. I has a "bead work" department worth several times the price of the paper to any farmer or house wife during theyear. Other departments will pay anyone to read. Bnt of course the insurance department is the part in which we are moBt interest ed. I will say that no one interested in Mutual Insurance can afford to be with out it. ':, Thk Wealth Makers will soon have clubbing rate with the Institute, of which all should take advantage. Last spring I tried to get a Mutual In surance paper on its feet. Many sub scribed and paid their money, but so far I have been unable to get it through the mail as second clans matter. If agreeable to thow who paid for the Mutual Insur ance News, I will send them the Institute for a year. Please let me hear from yon at once. The price of the Institute is 50 cents per annum. A Jjetter Fr m MrsKellle Hartwell. Neb., Dsc. 8, 1894. Editor Wealth Makers: ' ' Everything bids fair to have a good business meeting at Kearney Dec. 19th. The secretary of the State Irrigation committee writes that the one fare tickets will probably be good from the 17th to the 21st Alonzo Wardall, the National Guardian of the Aid Degree, writes that he expects to be with us and do all he can to make our meeting a success, also Prof. Jones and W. F. Wright, and several others who will if they can, and can if they will, make a very interesting session. De mands for articles of co-oeration for stores and elevators are coming in, and our members say that they wish to edu cate themselves on these Hues so as to be able with the first good crop to start to exchange their own products. I am sorry that you think you can not be with us and hope that you may un expectedly be able to be there a short time at least. Nearly all correspondents seem to feel the necessity of reviving our order and of making it a financial benefit to all mem bers, j If enough such business delegates are sent the meeting cannot fail to be of great value. Hoping this may be the case, I am yours tor industrial freedom. Mas. J. T. Kellik. Railway Rates Railway rata have now been arranged tor on nearly all lines in the state. It ia important that all members in coming to Kearney to the state Alliunc or Irrigation meeting take certificate from their railroad agent at the point ol starting that they have paid full fare to Kearney having him specify all lines traveled ia order to reach destination.

Now, if the government shall go into the business of guaranteeing the notes of banking corporations, it should, on sub stantially similar terms, guar an tee or in dorse the notes of all. Economically land is not wealth, but it is one of the two factors which, when united, result in the production of wealth. But let land be regarded as wealth, because under the existing system of ownership it practi cally is such. If land be wealth. then laud in use, or which is used to create more wealth, is capital. Theagri culturist's farm with all the machinery and improvements upon it is therefore capital. This established, and assuming that the farmer's land and machinery are paid for and unincumbered, why shouldn't the government issue notes to him up to the amount of one-half his capital, con ditioned upon his giving it a first lieu upon the property and depositing with it 6 per ctnt. of the amount of the notes to Insure the latter s redemption? When the government's security would be iust as good in one case as in the other, why should it bestow upon the banker a favor it denies to the farmer? And why, on similar terms, should not the manufac turer and miner also receivegoverninent indorsed notes? Dubuque Telegram.
