will be inclined to say that the

i s'IIis idea that the other big
life insurance companies were
| endeavoring to confine all the in
vestigations to the Equitable in
order to save themselves and
/ keep under cover is not so much
of an exaggeration as it seemed
! to be when given out some time
ago.
i ut is not much wonder that
the wrath of the President has
been aroused and that somebody
is in for a warm time.
aThe revelations being made
before the Legislative inEestiga.
ting committee of New York
show state of tinanciering
which is little less than criminal
| blackmail in its worst form.
"The New York Life has ad-
mitted that the officers of the So
ciety have contributed 800, 600 a
year for the past six years to an
attorney in Albany who looks
after the interests of the New
| York Life in the New York Leg
islature.
"This docking after the inter-
ests" of the New York Life
means nothing less than that the
money so contributed amounting
to 100000 Of the policy holders
money has been paid to an attor-
ney to use to bride the legislators
of New York State to refrain
from any form of legislation
which would harm or restrict
the methods by which that COM
pany did business.
eff this is the case with one OF
the large companies what must
be said of the others, all of whom
| need some sort of the same kind
of protection 1t is not likely
that the New York Life was pay
ing for the protection which all
the others would share.
"Then it has been further re-
vailed that the officers of the
large insurance companies paid
large sums to the campaign funds
of the great political parties.
The size and amount varying &C
cording to whether in the opinion
of the officials it was DESTROYS of |
maintaining in power the one or
the other of the administrations.
cit is an admitted fact that in
dividuals may subscribe and con-
tribute as much as they desire Of
their income or capital to- the
support or maintenance of this
or that cause which seems con-
ductive to the welfare of their
own interests and upon that
basis alone is the contribution to
campaign fund justified.
''But the contribution is an en-
tirely different matter especially
when that corporation exists and
flourishes through the use of the
money of people Of all political
faiths. There can be no possible
justification for the taking by
corporation officials of other
peoples money without their
knowledge and consent for any
purpose ever.
ut is in the case of the APP
preparation of the 500, 900 yearly
for protective purposes in the
state legislature nothing other
than the making of the policy
holder whose money is thus
used a participant in blackmail
and in the second condition a levy
