The Early Development Of Insurance, John Henry Magee
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It is the purpose of this thesis to trace the development of risk bearing by insurance from the earliest times, to the period when the modern institution of insurance may fairly be said to have become established. The thesis will not cover in its scope the history of insurance, nor the history of any particular period, but will rather survey each period studied, searching for new developments of insurance theory, and consider particularly those contributions that represent distinct advances in development.
Contents: Preface; Pre-Grecian Contributions; Ancient Greece; Ancient Rome; Middle Ages and Renaissance; Period of Final Development, 1500-1720; Bibliography.

Poverty And Problems Of The Mexican Immigrant, Joseph M. Santos
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this introductory chapter is to make clear the intent of the entire study. First of all, no attempt is made at claiming any distinction for originality, as the information contained herein is gathered from books, magazines, newspapers, conversations with experienced business men and labor men, and some from personal observation.
The present unemployment situation causes many people to question our government's policy of leaving our "gates" open to Mexican immigration. Many are the figures that we hear quoted in an effort to bolster personal views on this problem. Dr. Manual Gamio urges a limitation placed on Mexican …

The thesis proper has been directed to cover the major attempts to deepen the water channel from Stockton to San Francisco. Much of this material is not in a form to be readily accessible to the layman so I have included a great deal of it in the form of an Appendix; thus bringing it together, but not making it necessary for the reader to review it unless he or …

In the following pages an economic discussion of the factors of this industry will be given. To begin with a short history of the fur industry and fur farming is given, to give perspective and background, as it is only through the history of the past that we are able to judge the future.
The Penobscot Boom And The West Branch Of The Penobscot River, Alfred Geer Hempstead
The Penobscot Boom And The West Branch Of The Penobscot River, Alfred Geer Hempstead
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Penobscot River, the largest and most important drainage system in Maine, for many years made Bangor the lumber market of the world.
Lumbering in Maine was confined to the coast and navigable parts of rivers until the most desirable timber had been removed from these areas. Gradually the lumbermen had to go farther inland to find the large trees. This meant the logs must be driven down the rivers to market. The farther inland the timber was cut, the greater were the obstacles to be overcome. The building of dams, the removal of rocks and other such work must …

A Study Of The Financial Considerations, Offered Teachers Of Utah, As Inducement For Professional Growth With Comparisons Drawn From Some Other States, Alvin Hess
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Much has been written on the subject of supervision and the improvement of teaching. It is the general opinion of authors on this subject that it is a much better procedure to retain the services of competent teachers over long tenure than to follow any of the uneconomical plans of adapting large numbers of new teachers to the task of establishing the necessary teacher-pupil contacts for successful learning. But, of course, these authors do not suggest long tenure without active improvement of teachers while in service. Tenure laws are of such importance in some states as to take the form …

A Study Of The Economic Relationship Of The International Smelter To Agriculture In Tooele Valley, Harvey A. Kirk
A Study Of The Economic Relationship Of The International Smelter To Agriculture In Tooele Valley, Harvey A. Kirk
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Utah's position among the great commonwealths depends to some extent upon the degree of development of the agricultural industry of the State. But as a producer of wealth, the mining industry exceeds agriculture. The total annual value of Utah farm products is about $39,000,000 while the total output from the mines is valued at $82,663,000. The operation of the mines, reduction mills, and smelters necessitate the employment of a large number of people who swell the population of the State, and consume a large part of the agricultural products. Utah, which is an inland State, possessing, as yet, few large …

An Income Tax For Virginia, Warren A. Mcneill
An Income Tax For Virginia, Warren A. Mcneill
Master's Theses
Literature on the subject of the income tax has become so vast that to add something worthwhile to it seems almost a hopeless task. Men who have come authorities through years of reading and study in the field on taxation have set forth their views at length; commissions appointed by states and nations have made investigations and reported their findings, both as to the theory of the tax and its application; every fiscal report of the many nations and several states employing this form of levy is, in part, a document dealing with it. Supplementing these sources of materials are …

Intervention Of The United States In Nicaragua Since 1909, Louise Floyd
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The twentieth century is revealing a steady increase in the influence of the United States in the Caribbean region, both in politics and economic development.

In trade the United States is the best customer of Central America and the West Indies. The region is one of the chief sources of our raw-materials imports.
The majority of the citizens …

The Rise Of The Banana Industry And Its Influence On Caribbean Countries, John L. Williams
Historical Dissertations & Theses
The phenomenal growth of the banana industry is one of the most outstanding features of commerce during the last half century.
