| ulster on salary, subject to the orders
of the board at all times, costing the
association less money and settling and
investigating two or three times as
many claims as under the plan prev
iously followed. An adjuster was ap-
pointed and he was a man of several
years experience in the claim work. He
has already settled and investigated
many times more claims, personally,
than were thus handled in previous
years and at cost to the association
much less than $4,000. 1t is simply
business proposition and should be
| treated thus. Our general counsel ad-
yised us we had the right to make such
an appointment and the only question
is whether 1T was good or bad for the
association.
1t has been our Judgment turnout
that these acts upon our part were
needful for the associations interests.
Whether for or against the interests OF
any aspirant for office Is entirely out
of the question as the welfare of the
Iowa State Travelling Mems assoc'a-
ton Is the only consideration.
