BASFORD'S LITTLE CRAFT
Insurance Commissioner Gets
His Finger in The Pie.

Commissioner of Insurance Basford
has so manipulated the funds connected
with his office as to make rakeoff that
is nicely keeping the wolf from the
door. His regular salary is $3.50 per
month. In addition to that he is con-
stantly making examinations of insur-
ance companies for which he charges
$40 per day. When Basford is not busy
working politics in the interest of the
insurgent faction he is examining insur-
ance companies at $40 per. But even
this does not satisfy Mr.. Basford. The
insurgent legislature of 1909 amended
the law so that all the fees of the COM
missioner's Office shall be turned into
an insurance fund, and that expenses
for conducting his office shall be paid
out of this fund. Previous to the pas
sage of this Legislation this department
has been a source of revenue to the
state in fees collected to the amount of
about $25, 900 per year. After manipu-
lating this fund for Mr.. Basford's ben
eft the legislature evidently forgot all
about its own action and appropriated
for Basford's Office in the general
appropriation bill SIS, O20.0 90 for each of
the two succeeding fiscal years. The
Legislature by this act plainly intended
that this amount should cover the ex-
penses of Basford's office. But Basford,
wise old guy, ignored the appropriation
just referred to. and drew the money
for the expenses of his Office out of the
newly created insurance funds. The
result is that for the first ten months
of the operation of this act Basford has
appropriated to himself and force in
his Office nearly $1,000 in salaries and
expenses. In other words. he has used
in ten months nearly 81, 900 more money
for the conduct of his Office than the
legislature intended he should use for
the entire year. This is but another
sample of the manner in which the av-
erage insurgent Office holder manages
to absorb the peoples money.
Fred Says He's Right-as Usual
l see Pa Pa Bronson is still juggling
with figures. This time it is in regard
to the census, and he states that pre-
dicted the number in Webster up around
eighteen hundred and gave Mrs. Moore
pointers. But as matter of fact took
very little interest in the census, only
making one bet and that was that six
teen hundred would be the top figure.
But lost by fifty-nine, as the number
of residents is sixteen hundred fifty
nine-seventeen hundred and six, in
Guiding the dagoes.
Of course, there are some strange
faces on our streets, but when you
come to think that four hundred and
seventeen have left Webster in the last
five years, including the deceased, you
can readily see what / based my guess
on. Five years ago there was o. K.
Olson, J. H. Duncan, Hans Tollekson,
Frank Link, Peter Jacobs, J. G. Nick
OILS, J. c. Edmond and Gus Hempel.
These were all boss carpenters with
their crews, and the sound of their
hammers kept up merry tattoo. At
that time the number engaged in all
other trades in this city was proper
tionately large.
