munities may be of much assistance in
furnishing suggestions. In this con-
nection let me say that the all impor-
tant need in every community is a
leader who understands people and
rural conditions. This leader may be
minister, a teacher. a farmer. or an
editor. But the leader is essential to
every community program. This is the
great task before the church and our
educational institutions. Train and
equip leaders for the rural life.
I'm considering the community coun-
ell idea there are some funda mental
principles that must be considered. The
first Of these is the absolute necessity
of unifying the forces of the community
of leading them to do team work. A.
primal task is to break down the isOla-
ton Of both the individual and the in
stitution. We must bring to bear on
the program Of community uplift, all
the interests of the community. We
must deal and think in terms of the
community, and supplant a fatal indi-
vidualism by a broad neighborhood out

TRAVIS IS NAMED
lola Man Selected to Head
House insurance Committee.
Over Protest Of Insurance Com,
panies, Stone Names Him.

Frank L. Travis today won the night
for. the craftsmanship of the house com
mittee ON insurance. A bitter tight
which had been waged against the
tives Of fraternal and mutual insurance
companies proved of no avail and the
lola man il to go to the head Of the
important house committee.
The fight on Travis has been brewing
for several days. Before the opening
Of today'ss session. q delegation repre-
senting mutual and fraternal insurance
companies waited on Speaker Stone in
his private Office and protested against
the appointment. The speaker. how
culiar- fitness for the position, that he
would be named.
Other members Of the insurance
committee have not been determined.
1t Improbable that the insurance COM
mittee in the house will be increased
from II to Il members. but other MEM
bers Of the committee will not be
named at today's session.
With the naming of Travis as head
of the insurance committee, Speaker
Stone made the following formal state
ment:
ION account Of the Importance Of Leg
islation relating to insurance which Is
likely to be introduced in this session.
have concluded to ask the house te
increase the number Of members on
the insurance committee. I want this
committee to be made up of strong
members from both sides of the house
and expect to place on 1t Insurance
men. business men with large property
interests, farmers of good judgment
and probably one or two lawyers. I
am anxious that all classes of insur-
ance and insurance risks shall be prop
erly represented on this committee SO
that no legislation can he passed which
will not be for the real benefit OF the
people Of the state
II have concluded to appoint as chair
man of this committee Frank L. Travis
because of his peculiar fitness for the
position. He is an insurance man of
wide experience and when in the Sen
ate was the chairman of the insurance
committee. There has been some mis-
apprehension as to his attitude toward
proposed legislation. A number Of pro-
tests have come to my desk from per-
sons who carry inter insurance and
also from some fraternal and mutual
insurance men, Mr. Travis informs ME
that every dollar Of life insurance which
he has is carried in fraternal insur-
ance and assures me that every ques-
ton that il presented to the commit
tee will receive a proper hearing, and
I propose to appoint men of such char
acter and standing on this committee
that there can be no cause OF complaint
from any side. am sure that If those
