riil also had charge OF the war tariff acts
In the House. he was thus the author
Of more tariff measures than any other
man in the history Of Congress.
William R. Morrison wrote two tarin
hills. but neither Of them passed the
House. He seemed TO prefer TO be the
power behind the throne rather than
wielder of the scepter. and led the move
ment 10 make Kerr, OF Indiana. the first
Democratic Speaker after the civil war.
Again In 1883 he led the forces which
put Carlisle IN the Speakers chair. In
both Instances he was made chairman
Of the Ways and Means Committee.
Roger .. Mills is now the only living
man who wrote tariff bin that was
considered by both the Senate and House.
All Of the others have been dead for
some years. In recent times there seems
10 be singular fatality attaching 10 the
authors Of tariff measures. William Nc
Kinley died within a decade after the
passage OF the Mckinley law. and Will
lam Il Wilson lived no longer Nelson
Dingley lived only a few years after the
measure which bore his name became
the law OF the land. To-day we have
only one eX-President and one author Of
a historic tariff bill living. Mills went
to the Senate after leaving the House.
and helped to frame the Senate amend
ments TO the Wilson bill. He Is still liv-
ing in Texas.
After Mills came Mckinley, to whom
the world gives the credit OF having writ
ten the Mckinley bill. AS a matter II

Senate substitute for the Mills BIN, and

Miiiard Fillmore, afterward President
wrote the tariff Of 1912. That year there
were two bills reported TO the House. one
from the Committee on Manufactures
by Mr.. Saltonstall. OF Massachusetts,. and
the other by Mr.. Fillmore, from the Ways
and Means Committee. The Fillmore bill
got the right OF way, although ssIton-
stall made hard fight to have his meas
ure substituted. Secretary Forward. OF
the Treasury Department. had assisted in
writing the Fillmore bill. Forward was
a Pennsylvania by birth. and had pre-
viously served in Congress.
Robert ]. Walker was the author OF the
tariff of 1916. He was a constructive
statesman. and was the father OF the
warehouse system and the Interior De-
partment. He refused the Democratic
nomination for Vice President in 1874 and
was made Secretary Of the Treasury in
1S45 by President Folk His report on
manufactures, written from the low tariff
standpoint, Is considered one Of the tariff
classics.
The tariff act of 1857 was written bv
Senator R. NJ. T. Hunter. OF Virginia
It was passed as a substitute for the
Senate substitute 70 the House bfli and
was signed by the President. Hunter
had served in the House for many wears
and was its Speaker for one Congress.
He afterTard became a United states
Senator. In 1862 he was elected a mem
Der OF the Confederate States senate ana
wEs a member Of the peace commission
which met in Hampton Roads in 1855.

that bears his name, vas a Vern,on4o,

INSURANCE DEPARTMENT Bull

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 1.
Chapter 427, laws Of 1909, specifically
prohibits tho payment, allowance or
receiving of rebates on any policy Of
insurance issued in this state. It also
prohibits the sale or gift of any other
thing in connection with insurance.
The Modern National Reserve.
Charles City, Ia, fraternal society,
has not been rellcensed by this
department. An examination by the
Iowa Insurance department states that
this society used its reserve fund in
violation of the provisions of it's by
laws.
In reply to numerous inquiries con.
corning the standing of Minnesota
Farmers Mutual Insurance company.
the following statement IS made:
This company was refused license
at the beginning of 1909 on account of
numerous violations of the law of the
state governing companies of this
class, and the matter was referred to
the attorney general for such action
as he deemed advisable. The com
pany had exceeded the expense lim1ta-
tion fixed by section 1872, revised
laws. 1905, as amended by section 2,
chapter AL, laws 1907, but claimed
that bylaw which they had passed
gave them the right to do this The
attorney general has just decided that
the bylaw in question is not valid, az
it is intended to nullify the law of
the state.
The liability OF policy holders for
assessments made by this company
during 1909 is strictly legal question
and will, IN all probability, have to
be determined by the courts section
1869, revised law 1905, as amended bv
section l, chapter Al, laws 1907.
provides that:
whenever any assessment has been
completed, the secretary shall
Immediately notify each member by
mail, directed to his last known
address, Of the purpose and amount
Of such assessment and of his share
thereof. and the person to whom and
the time when such payment must be
made
Each policy holder has the right to
know the amount of the assessment
and the purpose for which it is
levied.
The attorney general has been asked
t. take the proper proceedings in this
matter.
The fire loses in Minnesota for Sep
TENDER, amounted to $40, NO. as COM
pared with 81, $50, 600, in 1908. The
losses in the United States were
$l2, 700, 600, as compared with SIS, 418,-
600 in September 1908.

ADD new DIR ARTMfNI'
Lincoln to Have Manual
Training--To Be Extend
cd to Other Schools

Steps were taken at the regular
monthly meeting of the board Of edu.
cation November 18th which will brina
the Lincoln school, located on the West
side, up to very much greater sphere
Of usefulness to the boys who are at.
tending that school. The board
appropriated $3.50 at this meeting to
experiment IN manual training at this
school. A spare room in the basement
of the Lincoln school will be devoted
to this department of the school, and
will be conducted by George johnson,
the efficient janltor of the school, who
IS thoroughly experienced along these
lines. 1t will be open to boys of the
school from the Sixth grade up, and it
is expected that this will tend to make
school more popular with the youths,
as it is a department which, while
being pleasure to the boys, will also
prove very beneficial. It is also
hoped that this will tend to keep the
boys at school until they have finished
the graded work.
The manual training department
will be started at once at the Lincoln
and Experienced with during the
remainder Of the school year. If 1t
proves as popular as 1t is expected. it
is the intention of the board of educa-
ton to extend it to more OF local
public schools for the 191O-1911 term,
and later on add. to it, until the high
school and all the other public schools
Of the city have a manual training
department. At that time 1t will be
necessary to secure first class in
structors, which will bring this de-
partment to very high standard.
West side parents should not fail to see
that their boys attend school and take
up manual training, which is certain
~ one of the most practical courses
that boy can take,
All members of the board, with the
exception of F. W. Lyon, were present
at this meeting. and were enthusiastic
over the proposition. The minutes OF
the previous meeting were read, and a
number of bills allowed.
