The Old Line Plan.

There was a recent sale in Des Moines,
Iowa, of the Des Moines Life, stock
insurance company. There was $780,
600 worth of stock. The Rawsons
owned fifty.one per cent, or control
ling interest. Each share was for $500.
They sold each share of their interest
to Chicago concern for $1,000, or
5000 more than the face value.
Under the charter of this concern the
policy holders are supposed to get all
the profits after paying death claims
and reasonable expense account. This
Chicago concern would not have paid
the Rawsons 81 900 for every 500
worth of stock unless they expected to
make back the 5000 on every share by
withholding from the policy holders a
portion, or all, of the dividends to
which they have just claims under their
policies.
Practically every old line company in
the country is stock company, and'the
owners of the stock fleece the policy
holders. This sale of the Des Moines
company is stronger Indictment
against the:practice of the old line
companies than any fraternalist has
ever drawn. 1t was in effect and NOR
ais exactly the same as if the .officers
of the Brotherhood of American Yeo-
men had sold the salaried positions
which they occupy to strangers and
turned the management of the Associ-
alton over them-Yeoman SHIELD

too seriously embroled in a senatorial con-
test.
Mayor Fawcett was elected on platform
to reduce taxes and to give Tacoma bust
