Madison Democrat: State insurance
is not so much needed as a prohibition
of the Mortonized salary swindles and
the wasteful extravaganza and corrupt
ing intriguing of the great insurance
corporations, which, while posing as
practical trust repositories for the pub
lie, are guilty of grossest violations of
their obligations toward their patrons.
State insurance, old age pensions and
all that :ort of thing lead to the same
Objectionable end-socialism. To that
folly this people is not yet ready to
subscribe.
