WHO'S PAYING FOR IT2

Who is financing the La Toilette
campaign that is now in progress to
defeat the denomination of President
Taft? This is the question that a great
many persons would like to have an
swered
who is putting up the $4,000 to
$4,000 a week that the campaign is
costing? Whose purse strings are be-

Toilette may be standing part Of the
expense. but it is certain that his bank
account is not the treasure chest, or. if
il is, then he is a great deal better
provided with this worlds goods than
most people have imagined.
At one time II was thought that
Senator Jonathan Bourne OF oregon,
who is plentifully endowed with the
worlds goods. was the Progressive
angel. but Senator Bourne has little
sideshow Of his own and is not inter-
ested Ia the expenses OF the big tent.
In fact. Senator Bourne has been cred
tied with the remark that his own lit

more than he expected.

AN ENERGETIC OFFICIAL.

state Insurance Commissioner Pal
mer. who has been in Marquette the
past few days, is one of the most ener-
getic officials that Governor Osborn
has identified with his administration,
and he has been making a record that
reflects credit both on himself and on
| Governor Osborns wisdom in selecting
him for the important post that he
| fills, declares the Mining Journal.
Mr. Palmer was chairman of the COM
mittee that investigated the operations
of number of casualty companies that
were under suspicion by the National
Association Of state insurance commits
sioners, and the comprehensive report
which his committee made to the as
sociation led to the adoption of sweep
ing reforms by the companies that had
been shown to have pursued faulty
methods The result has been manifest
in the restoration to hundreds Of the
people insured I'm these companies
money Illegally obtained or illegally
withheld from them. and I'm the intro
.duction OF a system that will make the
companies safe and honest in the fu-
ture. II was one of the most import
ant works of reforms undertaken i'm the
insurance field since the Armstrong in
vestigation.
II the constitutionality of the law un-
der which the department is working is
sustained by the courts, Commissioner
Palmer expects to carry on a statewide
movement TO reduce the fire hazard in
the towns and cities. This law empow-
ers the commissioner who is also the
state fire warden, to order the improve
ment or the complete demolition, of
property that constitutes an extreme
fire hazard. The heedlessness OF the
American people to dangerous fire haz-
ards is proverbial: the losses in this
country greatly exceed, on the same
basis Of comparison, those in any other
country on the globe. And this sorry
showing is made in spite Of what are
generally the most admirable fire fight
ing facilities to be found anywhere
II Is due ntirely to faulty construction
OF buildings. insufficient regulation of
the character of structures permitted
to be built in the congested business
and manufacturing districts and to the
insufiiciency of the laws for the pro-
lection OF property from fire. If the
courts uphold the new Michigan law,
Commissioner Palmer intends to give
the state a thorough education on this
subject
In addition to the other work he has
undertaken Commissioner Palmer has
been giving the organization Of the de-
partments headquarters thorough
overhauling. with the idea of enhanc-
ing its efficiency. At every point mod
ern methods are being introduced and
a new vigor is noted. Mr.. Palmer
believes that the value Of the depart
ment to the state can be greatly in
creased and that It can be made vital
factor i'm the protection Of the people
from exploitation by unsafe insurance
companies. He takes a broad view of
his duties and responsibilities, and
much can be expected from the work
that he will do
