Des Moines. Dec. 20.-Indications of
Forthcoming war to the finish over
the fraternal insurance field cropped
out at the special meeting Of the ASST
citation of state insurance commission
ers in New York attended this week
by John L. Bleakly. state auditor.
THE principal discussion of the
meeting" said MT. Bleak.y, was on
the subject Of group insurance. which
is something we have ta6 little occa-
sion to consider in low a. b;ls is becom-
ing live question in places. Some
of the big companies have gone into
the business Of taking out insurance
on the lives OF all the persons em-
ployed, for instance, in one large fac
tory, or number of large factories.
They are insured for the time of their
employment only and at the te:n,ina-
ton of their Employment the liability
ceases.
I'm most cases the arrangement is
made that the employer takes out of
the monthly wage of each employee the
sum needed to pay the premiums, tho
In some cases 1t Is handled differently.
In some places hundreds Of persons are
thus insured in a group, and necessar-
lily without medical examination. for
they are all taken in on one basis.
Fratsrnals Suspicious.
The fraternal people have become
suspicious that this plan means a raid
on what they call their special field.
What first aroused their suspicious was
the way some Of the statutes have been
Worded legalizing such insurance. They
have law in Minnesota. and in some
of the eastern states, on the subject.
The wording of the laws is such that
groups Of any kind may be taken. Then
In one notable instance, in Brooklyn
believe, this group insurance was used
to take In an entire lodge or society
which had seeded from the parent
body. The fraternal people fear that
what is in the minds Of the big old
line insurance people is a raid on fra
teEnals by offering to reinsure them in
groups.
But If the companies follow the
thought of their representatives at the
meeting they will never do this. They
c1sclaimed all intent to raid the fra
ternal field, and insist they merely plan
to build up something that is q COM
ple'ment to the. ,workmen,s compensa-
ton system and to deal with groups OF
Workmen.
The discussion was very beneficial
andtWe learned whole lot about this
new scheme of group insurance that
was all new to us. It was discussed a
little at the Iowa fraternal congress
but not to any great extent. It IL a
comparatively new thing"

POLK COUNTY JUDGE HOLDS SEC

INVALID.

RIGHT TO FIX STANDARD
Court Holds Il Would Be Just a. Rsa.
sonabIs 70 LssisIats - to Soup
Claims Less Than II Per Cent Of

furious to Health, Comfort or Morals.

Des Moines. Dec. 2O.-Judge Nc
Henry of the district court today
handed down an opinion in which he
holds that that section of the state
pure food law which attempts to fix
a standard Of butter fat for ice cream
In unconstitutional.
Judge McHenry declares in his opin-
ion that the legislature has not more
right to tell the manufacturer of ice
cream that his product must contain
not less than IL per cent Of butter fat
than it has to tell the hotelkeeper that
his soup must contain a certain
amount of animal fat.
The ruling is in the appeal of the
Sanders and Hutchinson Ice Cream
companies, which We're charged with
selling ice cream containing less than
II per cent of butter fat.
Not Question of Health.
II there were anything in ice cream
containing II per cent. the legislature
would have the right to control 1T.
There is nothing to injure the health,
comfort or morals of the community
in the manufacture Of ice cream con-
tanning less butter fat than is speci-
fed by the law in question and for
that reason the law was held uncon-
stitutional.
The following is a portion of Judge
McHenry's decision:
Butter fat Is the natural product
which is extracted from cream or milk
and as a good product is generally
known and recognized as a harmless
food product and suitable for the
maintenance and support Of the physi-
cal bodies of men. Yet 1t is equally
we'll known and commonly understood
that food product without butter
fat may be equally harmless or equally
beneficial. Ice cream is not natural
food product. but a manufactured
combination of other ingredients.
Effect on Different People.
ITO one man ice cream containing IL
per cent of butter fat might be bene-
fetal and acceptable to his taste. To
another man ice cream containing but
6 per cent of butter fat might be more
suitable. and in both cases 1t Is a
matter of common knowledge that 1t is
a harmless food product not injurious
to public health. morals or welfare.
The state of Iowa might as we'll have
said in defining ice cream that 1T shall
have 10 per cent by actual weight OF
sugar The facts upon which this law
is founded are simply arbitrary. and
the presence of II per cent Of butter
fat in ice cream has no relation what
ever. and can not possibly have any
RELATE TO DlIblic health morals or
welfare.
IF the legislature of the state OF
Iowa can say to the manufacturer you
can not sell ice cream within the state
of Iowa unless it contains II per cent
of butter fat the same prohibition ex-
tends to the consumer and prevents
