but trifIin'S n of money and would
not justify : time here given to Its
attention i or the precedent which
it here esq shes. 1t is a matter OF
common s riety that in the wake
of legitirr.' insurance, which is the
developmel1. OF centuries, there has
sprung up within recent years count
less horde of unsubstantial schemes
represented by swarms of persuasive
agents and promoters by whom very
large proportion of the people has been
wheedled into purchasing so-called in
demnity against all ills, to which flesh
is heir. Many millions Of dollars have
been expended upon the glittering
schemes by wage earners and small
property holders only to find conceal
ed within their contracts some un-
suspected condition which renders
them valueless in the hour of m1sfor-
tune, or If perchance the contract be
perfect in form, to find that the entire
assets of the insurer are represented
by an office desk filled with finely en-
graved stationery and advertising mat
ter describing with florid laudation the
benevolent, fraternal and unselfish
character of the enterprise"
The statement of the writer to the
effect that In the matter of providing
for the jury lists the legislature made
ample provision so that there has been
at any time any need for suggesting
an extra session Of the Legislature on
this ground has been questioned In
some quarters. The following state
ment from Senator S. H. Harper, of
Wapello. who introduced the amend
ment makes it plain:
II introduced the biennial amend-
ment and, anticipating the difficulty
of securing jurors for 1906. under the
then existing law, introduced an amend
ment to the jury law, which was pass
ed by the Twenty-ninth general as
sembly and appears in section 33l,
supplement to the code, which reads
in part as follows: Should no gener-
al election be held in the year 1903
the boards of supervisors shall meet
on the first Monday of December OF
said year and prepare the grand and
petit jury lists from the pollpooKs'
returned from the various voting pre-
cincts Of the county In the year lSo4,
This amendment covers the defect In
the old law as applied to the biennial
amendment
e. D. Brigham, state laborer COM
missioner, has made 6. suggestion
which may be taken up by the national
association of commissioners in re-
gard to securing statistics as to wage
earners. This association has been
planning for some uniformity IN the
collection of special lines of informa-
ton which is desired in all states. one
of these lines relates to cost of living,
Mr.. Brigham suggests twin schedules,
or the collection of information from
individuals as to the actual cost of lv-
ing and statistics from dealers and
others AS to the cost Of materials etc
He takes the view that so long as the

to the value of products they will new
