SANCTION THIS MISCHIEF
Do Holders of Fraternal Insurance
Want TO Destroy Themselves

All fraternal society members should
be interested in the fact that the cur
rent number of the Woodman contains
an article against state insurance. Our
candidate for governor, Emanuel l.. Phil
| ipp, called attention in his addresses, to
the constitutional amendment to allow
the state to engage in the insurance
business which is before the people at
this time. 1t should be voted down.
As Mr.. Philip points out, if it were
adopted the present insurance commits
sioner would perpetuate himself in of
| fee and there would likely be built up
great political machine with 200 or
more employees for the taxpayers to
support.
In Michigan the members of the fra
ternal insurance societies have organ
lied voters league for their own pro
lection to vote down the initiative and
| referendum. Read the following from

The enemies of frsternalism, and
those who would break down the pro
lection given TO the laboring man, are
now endeavoriDg to pass a constitution
ri amer dment in Michigan, which will
forever destroy and debar fraternal So

The serious danger arises from the fact

greatest interest of Old Line insurance
/ companies are back of the movement
and are making a strong fight to have
this amendment passed by the citizens
OF Michigan at the popular election to
be held in November. 1t is indeed
most insidious. Laboring men and fra
ternalists everywhere should not be de-
ceived by this pretended bait of ere

the amendment is but incidental. The
real object of the amendment being the
absolute prohibition of any life insur-
