trolso much Of the money Of the
country that they can bring on
a business panic any time they
see fit to do so. II is the ma
nipulation of the enormous AZ

And SO long as the people hart
over their money to these in
surance companies just so long
will they have mighty little to
say about the financial policies
of the country. You can pass

nae for more and more commiss

and swell the list Of officials I'M
til you can't turn around with
out humping against some salar-

no substantial relief until the
people begin to handle their owl

money at home instead of hand
ing it over to the wise finan-
