Wants Two New Insurance Laws.

Insurance Commissioner Palmer and
Deputy Orr have returned from New
York. where they attended the nation
al convention OF insurance commits
sioners. AS result of their trip they
will ask the incoming legislature to
pass two new insurance laws.
One Is known as the inter-insur,
ers', or reciprocal underwriters law
and is in force in few western states.
1t gives the state insurance commits
sioner control OF the insurance asso-
citation which deals In the exchanging
of underwriting for insurance COM
panies. There has been no law In this
state governing the affairs of such
companies and as result there has
been considerable laxity In their
methods.
The other is the anti-twisting bill
1t purposes to prevent holders of an
other to discontinue a policy held and
secure one in the company they repre-
sent. According to that the policy
holder Is the loser The law will pro
vide a penalty for its violation.
Both proposed laws were indorsed
by the convention.

Push Sale Of Red Cross Seals.

The American Red Cross has al
ready printed over 85,000,000 Red
Cross Christmas seals and probably
the edition will number 100,000.000
before the end of the campaign. IL
the anticipations OF the anti-tubercu-
losis workers are realized, no less
than 100000 will be obtained from
the sale Of Red Cross seals. Practic-
ally all OF the money remains in the
state or city where the seals are sold.
only very small percentage Of it Is
going to pay for the cost Of the print
ing and distributing the seals and for
the expense of running the campaign.
In case any persons cannot obtain
seals in the community where they
live. they can secure them by writing
to Red Cross Seal Headquarters. 715

commission In Lansing minimum of

tract of land withdrawn from the state

1t was the opinion of all members

General Fuller that similar minimum
price should be placed on all state
land offered for sale. Such resolu-
ton was not adopted because Land
Commissioner Huntley Russell was
not present. The present minimum
price is 81 per acre and was recently

Cost Of Copper Production Reduced.


According to the report of Geologist
r. e. Hore Of the Michigan College
of Mines at Houghton, the miners of
copper have made great strides in re-
ducing the cost OF getting the metal
from the ground and into workable
condition.
Two of the main factors in the re-
duction have been the air drill and
the hand drill. These inventions lead
to the belief that copper could be ta-
ken from the mines and raised to the
surface for 81 per ton. and the report
OF Professor Hore indicates that the
day is at hand. One mine is accom-.
plishing the work for $1.14 ton, and
five mines are doing the work for less
than $3.50. A few years ago most of
the mines paid over So for the same
work.

A few more words on woman's

Some persons think this very deep,
profound question that needs some
Champion like Clark, Roosevelt, or
Taft to argue it, when it is a very
simple question, as simple as wheth-
er women have the right to own
houses, or land, or cattle, to buy
and sell, to be doctors, lawyers,
teachers, preachers, editors, publish
ers, and superlntendents of public
instruction.
Many women have been unwilling
to become voters for some reason.
Some have supposed an election to
be dlsorderly, unpleasant place to
attend. have seen little of that
kind-not much. | think that il
women should become electors that
an election would be a quiet occas.
sion. But so it is now. And some
say that women are better than men.
1t is men who steal horses, rot
banks, shoot presidents, and fill
prisoDs-not women. A thousand
voters in room of five hundred and
the increase out of the better elias:
would be a grand sight to see.
