state would be absolutely safe-what

the state would receive per cent from
the settlers and the settlers themselves
would be paying less interest than they
would have to pay to private interests
if they had to borrow the money. Such
scheme to my mind is the solution OF

SCHIVELY TALKS ABOUT HIS
DEPARTMENT.

Perhaps few people are aware that
j. II. Schively, who is running for re-
election as state insurance commissioner,
is an old-time union printer Such is
the case, however. Mr. Schvely has
been member of the typographical
union for SO years. He began the print
er's trade when only ten years of age
and after working seven years at the
trade was given printers card in Wash
ington, d. G.. He has carried it ever
since and is at the present an honorary
member of the Seattle Typographical
union, Mr. Schively gave the Journal
the following interview on the affairs of
his office and the reasons he seeks re-
election:
apart from the judiciary there is no
department of the state government in
which the idea of politics should cut so
little figure as in the administration of
state insurance department, and in
outlining a political platform a candi-
date for the office of state insurance
commissioner would by that very fact
demonstrate his unfitness for the office.
Being republican, | am consequently
candidate before the republican prim-
aries, but my platform, instead of being
political, relates entirely to the admin
istration of the insurance department,
which is called upon to conserve the in
terests of all the people all the time re-
gardless of the political party or parties
to which the people themselves give their
adherence.
"When | first became connected with
the insurance department as deputy in
smance commissioner, in January, 1901,
l discovered that the receipts of the
department for the preceding year
amounted to $46,62754, which were in
creased to $57, 900 in 1901, $69, 900 in
1902. $4,000 in 1908, and have
steadily progressed until the receipts of
the department for 1911 exceeded $780,
900, of which over $2S6,000 is net
profit to the state This rapid increase
in the volume of business naturally gave
prominence to the department. in my
own thought, as a revenue producer for
the state. This first thought as to the
mission of the insurance department in
relation to the state shortly gave way,
however, to a higher ideal, and which
my increasing experience causes me to
believe is the real purpose for which
the insurance department was created,
namely, that of protecting legitimate
companies and the people against the
operation of unworthy companies and
dishonest agents.
"As already stated, the income of the
department for 1911 was over $780,
900, but this becomes a mere drop in
the bucket when the further fact be
ance written in the state and reported
to the department is over eight hun
dreds of millions of dollars; and while
not minimizing the Importance of the de-
partment as a revenue collector, [ am
nevertheless of the strong conviction
that it is of greater Importance to pro-
tect the eight hundred millions than it
is to collect the three hundred thousand,
and upon this platform l am asking a
re election to the office of insurance
commissioner by the voters of the state
of Washington.
