Barker. of the Clinton county Ia, dis
trict court, was decided against it. 1,
was clearly shown by the decree en-
tered ny Judge Barker that the insur-
gents had no grounds for their action
The present insurgents are not only
attacking the officers and directors of
the society but are also attacking The
former insurgents and are seeking to
have Judge Barl<cr's decree set aside.
The trouble in the membership OF the
Modern brotherhood is due To the in
creased insurance rates recently made
effective.
The officers of the order charge thar
the insurgents are not acting in good
faith; that some Of them are governed
by malicious motives, others by ignor-
ance. The insurgents are circulating
printed matter that the officers say
contains false statements. II is said
that not one Of the leaders in the
opposition movement have ever visited
the home office To obtain information
as 10 how the society is managed.

Senator Wagner said:
THE governors message is very

fear that the Democratic legislature
will do anything to interfere with or
hamper legitimate and honest business.
But there Is a general belief among
the people of this state that there are
abuses and evils which the governors

the duty Of the legislature to exercise
Its powers not only to protect the fn
