STATE LIFE INSURANCE
TRIED OUT IN WISCONSIN.
Man Who Drafted Law Authorizing
System Gets the First Policy.

The first policies in state life in
surance fund in America have just
been issued by the insurance depart
ment of Wisconsin. Former Speaker
Charles A. Ingram of Durand, who in
troduced the bill in the 1911 session to
create state insurance. received the
first policy. ..... .... i ....
Applications came from several
states, but under the law policies may
be issued only to residents of Wiscon-
sin.
The lawmaking provision for state
life insurance was enacted after the
idea had been worked out by Commits
sioner of Insurance Ekern and leg
islative committee. A study had been
made of similar laws in Germany,
Great Britain, Italy and Belgium.
No policy is issued for a larger
amount than $1,000. When the num-
Der of policy holders reaches 1000 the
maximum policy will be issued for
$4,000, and when the number reaches
1900 the maximum policy will be for
$4,000, the highest amount authorized
Existing governmental machinery

donal Offices. No paid agents will be

and development, at present consist
ing of two battleships Il year.
"Naval Holiday" Impractical.
Unoficially the kaiser's experts de-
clare the suggestion of the British
statesman to be impractical. The Ger
man fleet, they assert, is for defensive
purposes only and as such must be
maintained in Il condition capable of
protecting the coasts of the father
land against possible enemies.
That the German naval experts are
not without justification for the stand
they have taken is evidenced by the
report of a new invention lately tried
out by the British government, by
means of which a mine may be ex-
ploded at distance of several miles
without wires or other connecting ap-
paratus. This, in view of the fact that
a clash between John Bull and the
kaiser is the ever recurring bugbear
of the German and British publics re-
spectively, would seem to give color to
the alleged need of defensive fleet
for the German coast, to say nothing
of the fact that England's naval con-
struction program includes the build
ing of at least four Dreadnoughts a
year for several years to come.
Yet while other nations besides Ger
many have thus far turned deaf ear
to the suggestion of the British first
lord of the admiralty, at the same time
in nearly every country there may be
found steadily growing sentiment in
its favor. Indeed. there is scant doubt
but that this feeling will take some
definite form in the near future
Daniels Endorses Suggestions.

and as sound as if they had built the

Feasibility of Plan.
If Austria and Italy did not build the

from France and Great Britain. and
the fact that the triple alliance Ger
many. Austria-Hungary and italy, was
just now building no ships would make
the proposal possible without the

That no one will take issue with Mr..
Churchill on the question Of the benefit
accruing to the world if his suggestion
should be adopted is self evident. The
problem lies in it's feasibility, at pres
ent at least.
Great navies are rising everywhere.
France, Russia, the United States, ia
pan, even Greece and the South
American states, to say nothing of
Austria-Hungary and Italy, in addition
to England and Germany, are spending
millions on naval construction.
The difficulty will be to set a time
far enough in the future and yet not
too remote to be of practical value to
the present generation when all the
nations will find it convenient to ar
rest for a time their naval develop
ment.
In the meantime the shipyards of ev-
cry nation will be busy turning out
great war machines. which, despite
their enormous cost. become obsolete
within but little more than the time it
takes to build one of them. ....
AS far as the United States is con-
cerned, the annual naval budget will
probably not be much changed, al
though the completion Of the Panama
canal will add much to the effective
ness of our navy in some respects.
Canal Strengthens Navy.
Far from greatly adding to the sea
power Of the United States, however,
the canal will really be a negligible
factor, although it was formerly claim
ed that it's opening would double the
navy's effectiveness. But it will in
crease its possibilities for coast de-
Tense vastly. .@..
In this connection Secretary Daniels
recently asserted that the canal, while
adding much greater mobility to our
fleets, would not greatly increase their
strength except as defenders Of our
coasts.
During the long campaign" said
the secretary, zone Of the strongest ar.
guments for the large expenditure
was that such canal would double
the efficiency of the navy. We were

was embodied in Secretary Bryan's
original proposal to the world powers

abandoned when it became evident
that strong opposition would follow.
If Great Britain, Germany, France,
Russia and Japan would adopt the
British suggestion there is scant doubt
that the United States would readily
join in the agreement, and now that
the plan has been presented in con-

we are told that the building Of the
