FEDERAL SUPERVISION OF INsUR
ANCE

In an article entitled Insurance Su-
pervision and National Ideals, in The
North American Review, Darwin P.
Kingsley, president of the New York
Life Insurance Company. presents
strong argument for the supervision
of insurance by the federal govern
ment. Mr. Kingsley outlines the con
stitutional history of the country in an
attempt to show that, from time to
time. certain perogattves have been
transferred from the state TO the ma
tional government through process
of Interpretation OF the constitution in
response TO national needs and
through interference which was neces-
sary5 in order to carry out the general
powers OF. the government Mr.. Kings
i ley points to the hardships which the
business of insurance is compelled to
suffer in consequence of the fact that
i 1t must obey the behests of forty-six
4 different legislatures, and he pleads
7 that the business must suffer grieyous
harm unless its superintendent is
transferred from the multitudfnous
rulers to the central government OF
\ the country. The supreme court has
decided thar the nature Of the insGr-
ance business is such as TO preclude
such transference. but Mr.. Kingsley
believes. for reasons which he ex-
plains, that the court viii change its
decision slould 1t have occasion TO
\ reconsider the question. He says.
We have moved on into What is
4 almost new world We are facing
4 new problems. We are facing the fur
Their development Of national ideals.
We cling as tenaciouslv as our fore
fathers did 10 what We call the right
OF local self-government VIVA. we are
now and then asked to give UP seems
to US much more vital man what they
+ were. asked to surrender in the general
interest. we have the most extended
system OF railroad transportation in
tae world The use OF the telegraph
and the telephone has extended
throughout the nation Many important
types of business are organized on
continental lines The question then.
49, When We insist on what we call
local self-government as against the
obvious significance Of such facts as
these, are We not as shortsighted as
our forefathers would have been IL
they had carried their opposition to

The heartfelt sympathy OF all to

Where The Best Roads Are.

Fairfield Ledger: Jefferson county

the prizes she offered for road-drag-
ging, just as sae got many miles OF
good roads at small cost There are
few counties in Iowa where the drag Is
used as much as in Jefferson, and there
are few countries which have as good
dirt highways as Jefferson. Every
body SAYS that who has had opportuni-
ty for observation. And that is all the
greater reason way our people should
use the drag still more.

Cutting Down the Number Of Saloons

Cutting Down the Number o! saloons.
Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: The
Moon bill as amended by the senate
committee on the suppression of in
temperance limits the number OF
saloons in cities having population Of
25, 600 or more to one for every 500 of
the population. The cities affected are
Des Moines, Dubuque, Davenport,
Sioux City, Council Bluffs, Burlington
and Cedar Rapids.
Under this bill, If it shall become a
law-and it will Dubuque will be
permitted to have only fifty saloons
on the basis of the last state census.
On April l it had ninety-one. The
Surplus number will not be forced
out of business. however, and will be
eliminated gradually. Present holders
of licenses will be permitted to hold
them until revoked for the owner s
violation of the mulct law. Licenses
not revoked may be sold or tranferred.
But new licenses may not be issued.
The adoption of the bill will practi-
caiiy perpetualize existing licenses,
since parties in interest, advised of a
saloon-keepers purpose to retire, will
attend to the provision of a successor
a d, if need be, purchase the license
for him. Heretofore in Iowa a license
has had no value Henceforth it will
have value impaired to it by this Law.

four freshmen, Messrs- Good, Kendall,

juniors, Dawson and Hubbard, and the

1t was decided that the four fresh

created sort of psychological occa-
sion. Here were seven Republican
votes in a bunch that could be won or

/ fight, it was figured that this block of
votes, added to the block of insurgents
/ from other states who were standing

I the balance of power In that event
/ the committee would simply have to
come to taw and yield the point on

I the solid seven from Iowa would get
Z the hero medals which they had lost in

have forced the whole Republican
membership of the house to accept
Iowa dictation as to stockings and

made by any other body of members
Z of similar size 1t was stake worth
playing for. The commentator of
( the Chicago papers and their depart

be something gladstone to listen to.
Alas for Iowa luck, The committee
counted noses carefully and found it

without knuckling down to the solid
seven from Iowa. and their bakers

other states The committee rule was
put to vote. and it was passed by a

other opportunity to distinguish them
