LEG pULLERS.

LEG pULLERS."
The evils of "leg pulling" legista-
ton, and their hardships upon the
people are probably more plainly seen
in the item of fire insurance than any
other item we know ola senatorial
election not excepted. The evil
strikes every personal property holder
within the domains covered bv the
various legislation.
It is fair to presume that ever since
the organization OF these common
wealths there have been members
elected to the legislatures, either ter
ritorial or State, their sole object of
which has been, after election, to con-
ceive and introduce rogations solely
and wholly for pulling the legs OF
rich corporations, such as railroads,
insurance concerns, etc. There have
been others elected, who have fostered
wise and salutary bills, frequently be-
coming laws.
The insurance companies have been
continual victims of this nefarious
practice. Too often,to their discredit,
have they submitted to these criminal
extortions, and through paid and
skilled lobbyists, brought about the
ends for which the measures we're in
PRODUCED, "give down and buying off
the advocates of the bill.
More than a year ago the insurance
companies of the United States, after
an exchange of ideas, decided to let
this class of Legislators have their own
way, refuse to call for Doodle, but to
take from the people by higher in
surance rates, every dollar lost by
iniquitous and unwise legislation. The
result is plainly seen here in Mime
sofa. The boodlers passed bill in
the last legislature, compelling the in
surance companies to place massive
general rider on their policies, almost
identical with the body of the policy,
either of which is scarcely read. It
might contain clause canceIling the
policy in case of fire and the holder
would not know anything about it
until fire had actually occurred.
The result of this forced general
rider and other Ubiquitous insurance
legislation is already plain. Insur-
ance rates have been increased in
everv city and town in Minnesota, and
to-day there is probably no connected
business block in the State but what
the: rate is over $1.5O per 500 per
year, even though a first-class system
of waterworks is in operating. Here in
Redwood Falls the rates have been
sent skyward by old line companies,
the rates being sent from SIPS to
1910 in some cases. It is plain that
these boodling Legislators, paid by the
people, are simply an outrageous, in
direct expense to the latter. It is
time that halt should be called.
! 1t will be we'll for the several dis
tricts to commence looking for good,
non-purchasable men even now for next
years conventions and elections.
Every voter should be politician to
the extent of watching his own inter-
ests and driving corrupt Legislators
from the field of politics.
