COL. TEMPLES CONFESSION.
(Register and Leader)
Hon. P. A. Smith sends the follow
ing letter to The Register and Leader.
the congregational delegation
Scranton, Ia, Jan. 16.--To the Edi-
tor: Your timely articles on the ap-
pointment of M. L. Temple to the office
of attorney for the southern district
of Iowa should be appreciated by ev-
cry man in the state who is be-
lever in the square deal. 1t does
not seem right to select the enemies
of a law to see that it is enforced.
Now as to the Temple amendment;
that is a good law, and Temple is
the man who originated the amend
ment and secured it's enactment into
the present law. But in his own words
in substance he said to the writer.
IN have no heart in the amendment,
whatever, but upon a time l was a
candidate for congress against Pete
Hepburn and I would have been
nominated had it not been for the
ID Burlington road"
This was during the session Of the
Twenty sixth general assembly There
is not a member of the delegation in
congress from this state but what
knows that Temple is not a fit man
for the place. Some of the delegation
has admitted as much to me. The
man who votes to confirm the nomin-
alton Of NJ. L. Temple is voting to
retard the railroad measure which
President Roosevelt made the battle
of his life for. There is a mighty ma
chine back of Temple. Will the Iowa
delegation cover before it?
P. A. SMITH.
Colonel Temples whole politica-.
career, is condemned thousand times
out of his own mouth, and his further
recognition in Iowa in any public
capacity is a reflection on the repub-
lican party, while to appoint him to
a position of responsibility in the
enforcement of antitrust and anti
railroad laws would be to make opera
bouffe of the serious business of adj
ministering the government.
ENTITLED TO A SQUARE DEAL.
(Register and Leader.)
The progressive sentiment of Iowa
republicanism is entitled to consider
alton on the part of the congressional
delegation in making up the slate of
federal appointments.
Without reference to the progressive
sentiment of the party, no appoint
ment should be made which is not
creditable, and which cannot be de-
Tended by those who make It. The

MUTUAL COMPANIES A FARCE.

The result of the election in the
great New York life insurance COM
panies will not be known for many
DAYS vet as the mere counting of the
votes will consume weeks of time, but
1t seems to be conceded all around
! that the gang already in control will
4 be perpetuated, Millions of votes We're
cast and thousands II dollars were
@of a so-called mutusl company to
exercise the right of franchise guar
anteed them in their policies. Not
+ withstanding scandalous mismanage-
ment by former officers fully exposed,
nearly half of the policy holders We're
r too Indifferent to vote and the agency
cree was able to ca.iole proxies out
81 Sajority Of the lest of them.
4 The incident is a full demonstration
of the uselessness OF mutually in
very large companies. This election
has shown that fully half the policy
holders are wholly ol,livious of the
fact that their company is a mutual
company and that the management is
in possession of the machinery by
which it can defy the interests of the
policy holders with imp unity. The mu-
tnal element in the organization is
farce.
Such a demonstration ought to be
enough to teach our ls.W-makers and
aall of us that the stock company rig
idly regulated and supervised is the
only form for old line life insurance
Organization The mutual feature and
return OF excess premiums in the form
4 of dividends amounts in practice to
the promise on the part of an inside
ring you pay us long price for in
surance and we will pay back what
ever we think we have to-" The stock
companies should be CO npelled to sell
life insurance as commercial prop
osition OF, the market being restricted
within certain limitations for safety.
Competition would then bring the
premiums down and t hey ought to
come down. All old line life insurance
rates are too high.
The fraternal, assessment companies
should be the only mu uals left and
They should be limited in size. Some
of them now are SO la 'ge that their
mutually is lost. A gang controls
and is able to perpetuat,s itself. These
companies should be- held to nominal
salary lists, low expense allowance,
modest size, and adequate rates.
There is work here for the Iowa Leg
islature to- do and it is hoped that
somebody will arise with more nerve
and more Integrity than the legislative
insurance commission which has Just
proved itself either too blind or too
crooked to see any harm in deferred
dividends.
