State Insurance Commissioner
Shober is having q little set.to with
the A. o. U. w because he forced
that order to pay a lot OF back
taxes. If it is legal, and the attor-
ney general says 1t is, what kick
have they coming? Here's a two-to
one that Shober is light. The rank
and file of the order see no reson for
lodging one tax to pay it in another
way. All the fraternal orders are
composed of citizens, business men,
mechanics and farmers. They pay
the state tax, and they pay the
orders expenses. 1t makes no diff
ference financially to them which
way they pay it, so long as they
have it to pay. The few "head Off
GERS" can't bluff Commissioners
Shober any. Ii 1T is right they
should pay, he will ''give EN- a race
for their money" The bluff OF hav-
ing the governor remove him, is a
weak one, and exposes a lack Of de-
tense. Why do they wa mt him re-
moved? To escape something? Is
this a confession that he is right?
