A RECORD HE CAN STAND UPON

IFrom the De Soto Argus Of July IL, 1871
Accordingto Insurance Commission
ers Ekern and Cleary and William H.
Hatton, the legislation introduced by
Senator J. Henry Bennett for fixing
insurance rates saves the people of the
state S2,700,000 annually. He was the
author of the bill which became a law
exempting farmer cooperative cream
cries and cheese factories from the
provisions of the income tax law which
saved the Viroqua creamery some
$4,000 per year and likewise every
creamery of this kind in the state.
He introduced bill to tax war prof.
teers with sun tax at the special
session which Secretary of State Hull
also championed and which he claims
would bring into the treasury four
million dollars per year. He voted
for the Prohibition referendum and
favored the adoption of the federal
constitutional prohibition amendment.
So far as heard from every member
of the Legislature of two years ago
who favored prohibition is being op-
posed.
