lobby that followed every piece of leg
islation that in any way affected fire
or old line life insurance at the last
session Of the legislature is here to
watch all the Investigations of the in
surance legislative investigation COM
mission. One of the lobbyists who was
in attendance all during the session
last winter has a room at a prominent
hotel and is daily at the lieutenant
governors reception room on the
senate side of the capitol where the
commission is conducting it's hearings
Furthermore there is evidence already
that this lobby is keeping the insur-
ance men we'll informed on every piece
of legislation that is discussed by the
commission. Still more important
there are evidences that the lobby is
trying to prevent the legislation before
it leaves the commission.
One Of the particular pieces Of leg
islation that the lobby is working on
with the assistance of the officers of
prominent insurance companies is the
co-insurance idea. Co-nsurance af-
fects only the, big fire risks, risks that
are too big for one company to carry
alone. One company usually takes
the risk in the first place, and then re-
insures a part of it in other COM
panies. 1t addition to trying to work
repeal of the law that prohibits COM
binations for the fixing of a uniform
rate of insurance as recently disclos-
ed this lobby is seeking to get an
other important change in the present
law. At present the companies carry
ing the insurance are jointly liable for
the damage. If there is a damage to
the property insured but not a tota.
loss, and If the face of the premium is
more than the loss, the law allows the
companies carrying the loss to pro-
rate the loss among the companies on
the basis of the amount of insurance
each company carries, but it provides
that If one of the companies should
fail to pay it's loss the other companies
are liable up to the full amount that
each company carries. The insurance
lobby is trying to work a repeal Of
this provision so that each company
will have to pay its pro rata share of
the loss but will not be liable for the
amount that any other company fails
to pay.

NEW sIRLEY GAS PLANT.
It is Expected to be in Running Order
in Sixty Days.


Special to Times Republican.
Sibley, Aug. 1s.-Sibley is to have a
new gas plant, which it is expected to
have completed and in running order
within sixty days, work to be COM
menced at once. The lighting system
will be installed by the Practical Gas
Company of Chicago. A dozen of Slb-
ley's business men and citizens, who
have been deeply concerned in the
welfare of the towns advancement,
have come forward with $1,000 in cash
to pay for the proposed gas plant. In
dividually they have advanced from
$500 to $1,000, and the 3S4 citizens who
voted for municipal gas plant in the
town, will not be deprived of their
anticipation or the fruits of their vic
tory.
An appeal to the supreme court was
taken by A. w. Harris, who was denied
a temporary injunction by Judge Gay
nor in the district court, restraining
the town from building a lighting
system. Owing to the patriotism and
loyalty of some Of the citizens the slow
and tedious court procedure will not
be omitted, and the gas plant will be
built while the court grinds.

It's a Bit
OF a Job

to order around and boss free Ameri-
cans and bullyrag them if they don't
obey Orders" without question.
Quite a little chore.
The labor trust leaders tried By
threats and other measures to bully
members of congress into passing some
laws for the benefit of the labor trust
but not in the interests of the people
at large.
They were told they didn't represent
all the people.
There happen to be IS millions an
ti-trust Americans and about mil
lions labor trust members, many of
them held by force.
Naturally every gain of either money
or advantage for the members of any
trust must be absorbed from the conn
mon" persons outside the trust. Every
trust must fatten by feeding off out
siders."
Think it over a moment and see if
that's right.
The beef trust raises the price of
meat.
Who pays the raise?
The labor trust raises the price of
labor and we don't object to that In
reason, but who pays the raise? The
oil trust tries to freeze out citizen who
starts in an Independent oil business,
Why? So it can rule and have it's own
way and make the people outside the
oil trust 'obey" and pay toll.
The labor trust tries to force an an
ti-injunction bill through congress to
prevent courts from issuing restrain
ing orders or injunctions, so 1t can be
free to attack property or Independent
men when the protection of the courts
Isl withdrawn and thus terrorize the
people and make them "obey' the
trust leaders and prevent every inde-
pendent American from selling his Ia
hor at all even tho his family may be
starving.
You are ordered to refuse any labor
but that sold by the labor trust. ana
not to buy an article of merchandise
unless it bear the union labef' tue

Some of the most irksome tyrannies
and outrages are put upon citizens
who believe in the old doctrine chat
America is for freemen and a square
deal" for everybody.
But his biggest of all trusts, the Ia
Dor trust, assumes to itself the flSh-

SO, having been restrained by Con-

to go into politics and elect labor
trust members to rule the balance of
us.
Such massing of class or trust pow
er in the hands of few men is ex-

There is but one safe procedure.
Elect men who do not represent any
trust but stand steadfast for the cit
liens, the 100 per cent, the whole peo-
pie and not the few trust members
who seek to feed off the many.
What could be expected of a labor
gress but to enact strict labor trust
laws.
We need antitrust representatives

Don't fail to question your candi-
dates.
DO you stand for the trusts, either
of labor or capital or will you represent
the best interests of the people"
Don't permit any cowardly excuses
but demand to know.
