The Supreme Court of the
United States has affirmed the
legality of the law passed by the
last Legislature of this state in
regard to the fees of the Secretary
of State being turned into the
treasury for the benefit of the tax
payers instead of into the pockets
of the said official, as heretofore.
This bill was introduced by SEN
ator Montgomery, of this county,
who worked very hard to secure
its passage, and deserves great
credit for such a victory for the
people over the greed ard graft
of the politicians for revenue only.

offending against both the law and decency in its
efforts to prolong its power. Take the Mutual Lie

qured by law to file at Albany correct list OF the
names and addresses OF its policy holders.
In spite of this plain requirement that COM
pany has sent in 10000 addresses that incorrect.
hat such large number OF errors could have been
made inadvertently is hardly conceivable and it
looks very much if the blunders were purposely
and not unintentionally made.
But whether intentional or not they certainly
greatly hamper the efforts of the policy holders
committee to secure full and fair ballot at the
election of officers that is not far off.
Ii is also reported on trustworthy authority
that New York's state superintendent of insurance
is in possession of evidence showing that life
insurance agents in distant localities are securing
from policy holders blank proxies which are to be
used at the election of directors.
This. it may be observed, is in direct violation
OF the law, and if adequate proof can be secured
the superintendent should not hesitate to begin the
prosecution Of the offenders.
1t would seem the insurance company man
ayers have become utterly reckless as to the means
they are employing TO secure their retention in
office at exorbtant salaries, and TO prolong their
control of the accumulated millions of policy hold
ers' money.
October I8 is the day set for the election, and
on the result OF the voting will depend whether
the life insurance business is TO be conducted in
the interest OF the policy holders for the benefit
OF the money manipulators in Wall street.
