Attacks Made on Idea of The
Government Having Insured

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.
Va, Sept, 1S.-Schemes for govern
mental or social insurance were at
tackled at the annual convention of the
International Association of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters here today by
Isaac Newton Stevens, of Denver, who
contended that insurance was not a
legitimate government function under a
republic and that the whole idea was
uDsound
Mr.. Stevens. who is we'll known as a
lawyer and writer, said that although
he was champion of government op-
GRAFTON Of many enterprises, he had
after thorough investigation, been I'M
able to ascertain "any real or specu-
lative justification for any branch of
our government engaging in the in
surance business" He thought the ad-
vocacy of social insurance in this coun-
try was another instance of the fact
that 1--WE have a penchant for copying
most everything ever attempted across
the Atlantic, regardless of the pur-
pose or motives or form of government
or dis-similarity in popular aims and
ideals of the European law-making
bodies from those of our own country.
I'VE have, as result" he said, "a
maze of statutes covering some phase
of every conceivable real and theoret-
cal form of government known to man
kind-from the most absolute autoc-
racy to the most ideal anarchy.
"The object of society is the promo
tion of happiness; of government, the
protection of that happiness from in
jury by the evil-minded and wicked
members of society.
Il believe that good health. good
and civic safety all require that
whenever man or woman shall be en-
ployed to render any service of any
kind a DEMONSTRATING, fair, decent COM
pensation for such service should be
paid. These and many other regula-
tons for the safeguarding and promo
tons of individual rights and individ-
ual enterprises, are all matters Of
good members of society
from the wicked members of society.

private business affairs of the individ-
ual, or the laying of the foundation for
individual dependence upon the state,
instead of upon personal ambition, inj-
tiative and independence. then it be-
hooves lawmakers to take careful,
soundings of the sea we are traversing
to ascertain whether we are headed for
a restoration of a sixteenth century
monarchy or the establishment of a
twentieth century feudalism, with all
Of the serfdom of the former Eurouean
institution, and with infinitely more
power in the hands Of the rulers than
any feudal lords ever possessed.
IF the government principle of in
'surance is sound, why not make it ap-
ply to all classes of society instead of
to few particular classes of society?
"If, as the champions of this sort of
Insurance claim, its object is to con-
serve life and health, why discriminate
in the choice of classes whose lives
and health shall be protected either
wholly or partially at the expense of all
the people and wholly through the op-
erations of the peope's government
Who is to be the judge of what lives
are most valuable to the republic that
government may make special provis-
ion for their preservation?
"The fact is that if life and health
can only be conserved, or can zest be
conserved by the government taking
over in whole or in part every industry
and enterprise that has a bearing on
life or health, then we should have a
social slaughter house, social farm,
social dairy, a social Touring mill,
social bakery, social garden, a social
hennery, social pig-sty and boundless
other social undertakings.
"The supreme question confronting
legislative bodies in our country con-
corning matters of this nature is and
always must be, can any possiblee
benefit to be derived by a few persons,
or by few groups of persons com
rensate for the reversal of our govern
mental theories, and the destruction OF
dwarfinfi of individual development
and personal patriotism that must in
evitably follow such a procedure"

my position on the road question is
that our hills and grades should be
cut down, that our roads where neces-
fsary should be sub-drained, that Opr
road beds should 'lbe graded to turn
the water, that the sides of the roads
should be ditched to carry off the extra
water, that permanent bridges should
be- built to cut out ,the$repairs on our
temporary bridges, that. our road beds
should be sgraveled where present
taxes will pay for it,, that they may
be passable Sthe year round, that all
this. money Should be1spent by the
local community after the proposition
has been submitted to the voters and
they have expressed d desire to have
1t done-the plans for the larger and
more important work and bridges to
be submitted to the highway commits
sion that no mistakes be made which
means expense to the tax payers
that the money should be secured by
anticipating the taxes we are going
to pay anyway rather than by any in
crease in taxation-and that the work
so far as practical should be done now
that we may have the benefit of the
roads now and the bill paid as the
money we know now are going to
pay within the next few years is
paid in.
"This is what you or would do IN
our business, if we needed a building,
needed more land, or needed an I'M
provement of any kind; and believe
in the conduct Of our community,
county and state affairs the business
principles should be followed as in
personal affairs"
