relations with Standard oil composed
one of the most enlivening episodes OF
American politics some years ago.
Dawes Acceptable to Democrats
Another thing that some of the old
Guard leaders mumole about is the
fact that Dawes Is acceptable to
Democrats to n degree which arouses
their suspicion. They have discovered
that Dawes indorsed John SHELTON VII
lians, the present Democratic comp
troller OF the II asury, when the lat
ters appointment was before the Sem
ato for confirmation.
The particular scandal, II these old
Guard leaders but knew II, is probably
even worse. Those of us who move
among the leaders of both parties re
call that at tho time when McAdoo
resigned as secretary of the treasury
one of the men whom some Demo
cratic leaders recommended to Wilson
as McAdoo's successor was Dawes.
The fact that Dawes character and
standing as a banker make him ac-
ceptable to some Democrats over
shadows in the minds of these suspic-
ious standpatters the fact that Dawes
has been Republican all his life;
that he was Republican office holder
under Mckinley twenty-five years
ago: that he has been more or less
active in Republican politics all his
life and that he took a prominent part
in the Republican preconvention cam

Insurance Legislation
The clash between the old-line and
the reciprocal insurance companies has
indica ton Of being more severe than
was at FIRST anticipated. The old-line
companies have caused to be intro
duced one bill in the house and one
bill in the senate, wh1ch the reciprocal
companies say Will put them entirely
out OF business n they become laws.
Under the bill as proposed the re-
ciprocal companies could not use the
word policy. Also they would. have
to print across the face of the policy
the words Liable for another assess
words Assurance, Insurance or Com
pany.'' They would have 10 use the
words Indemnity or exchange" in
describing their contract. They could
DOT use the word premium. Under
the bin they must put sI250'O security
up in addition to q maintenance sur
plus OF 100000 and set aside 30 per
cent of all receipts as reserves for ben
efits in case OF losses.
The reciprocal companies claim that
if this bill becomes a law It will Tl,e
nopoly on all the insurance business
of the state. Already a number of
protests are being received by members
of the legislature from persons intor-
ested in reciprocal companies and from
