Three Cornered Promise
Made Regarding Roads
Continued from page one

dent of construction had large
number of men and had built up an
organization and was getting them
strung out in the work. The report
got around that the commissioner
had expended $4,000 for machinery
and people started raising popular
protest about It, They had never
been accustomed to expanding more
than few dollars for a plow, a few
dollars for scraper, and few hun
dred for road graders and when the
commissioners went to buying an
elaborate set of machinery for road
construction all over the county at
the same time at a cost of 100000,
it astonished the average man, an
agitation was started for the pur-
pose of stopping the work by protest
or by injunction thru the courts If
necessary, altho the people making
this agitation had no other plan to
lay before the public that was better
and they did not deny that the ma
chinery was already purchased and
delivered and that they could not sell
it back again. Charges of graft were
freely made and wherever I could
get men to say definitely just what
the graft was investigated it and in
no case did l find the statement
justified. There were things con-
nected with the purchase of the ma
chinery that could not find out
about, but l accepted the statement
of the county commissioners and the
county clerk, published their state
ments and told the public that if they
had misinformed me and were fool
ing me that would find It out some
time and when I did l would publish
my discoveries. l reminded the agi-
tators of their implied promises
made when they went to vote ac-
cording to the three proposals have
recited and the three-cornered prom
ises we had all made to one another
and to the public. l insisted that
they were violating that promise and
! demanded that they keep their part
OF the pledge which said that they
would back the commissioners to the
utmost unless 1t was made clear that
there was dishonesty.
IN ne course OF the construction
work a good many things were done
that | did not approve of and that
many other people did not approve
OF, but so far as I could find out,
they were done with honest inten-
lions and was never sure that
there was any graft connected with
1t. SO in all my reports, l sought to
convey the idea that there was sat
1sfactory progress on road construc-
ton. People used to come to me
with all kinds of complaints and I
took various means of investigating,
but never found anything that |
thought justified any one in seeking
to stop the work, or to interfere
with the management. sometimes
examined grades and asked them
why they built them SO high. and

the reunion was the presence OF six
Of the seven bishops who have pre-
sided over the ward since its organ

Each of them made short talks and
told of the progress OF the ward dur

In paid advertisement in the De-
cember 5 issue of The Republican you
attempted to defame mutual insurance
on the ground that its socalistic and
communistic and maintained that any
person in business for profit who pat
ronized it is putting the seal of his ap-
proval on naturalization and sacrificing
the underlying principles of his own
business.
This statement is grossly misleading
and as anarchistic and un-American as
the statements which are being made by
the Bolshevists and the reddest anarch-
lists. You know, Mr. Beebe, that there
is not a word of logic in it. The whole
argument is silly and ridiculous.
If mutual insurance is socialistic,
Benjamin Franklin and his associates
were socialists because they organized
the first fire insurance company in the
United States-a mutual-still doing
business. A great proportion Of the
manufacturing business of the United
States is insured in mutual companies;
thus these manufacturers are socialists.
It is an admitted fact that tremendous
proportion Of the farm business thru
out the United States is insured in
mutuals. Then these farmers are all
socialists.
Practically all Of the people carrying
life insurance are insured in mutual
companies. Do you carry life insurance
MI. Beebe? If so, in what companies?
About all of the largest life insurance,
companies in the United States are
mutual, including the New York Life,
the Equitable, the Northwestern
Mutual, Pacific Mutual and the
Prudential. If you have policy in
any of these companies then are you not
a socialist?
think that you will find that nearly
all of your neighbors, your friends and
business acquaintance one way or the
other, are, according to your definition,
socialists and tearing down the under
lying principles of business"
Is the man who places his insurance
in mutual company, in order to save
what he considers an exorbitant pre.
MUM charged by the stock companies,
any more socialistic than the man who
carries no insurance at all? sgtt >
You 60 on to say that stock com.
panies have made but 70 cents on each

capital and the best brains of the bust
ness thrown in. You know this state
ment can mean absolutely nothing to
the laynen, who are not familiar with
the insurance business. What they are
interested in is, what are the companies
making on capital invested.
The ten largest stock companies in
the United States according to Best's
Key Ratings, in the last FIVE years made
profit of $71,6So,51o on total cap.
talization Of $47,2oo,ooo-a profit OF
$50 per cent for the FIVE years, or an
average annual profit of 80 per cent.
In the face of this you sympathically
call attention to the fact that their
business has been harassed, taxed, mis-
represented and cheated at every turn!
Will not citizens reading your ad have
right to believe that these companies
that you are SO eloquent in defending
need little more taxation and harass-
ing?
c. S. Beebe, we want you to know
that we have no fight against you or
any of your companies. Our company
was organized twenty years ago. 1t
has served the people diligently and
conscientiously. During that time we
have paid over 100000 in losses
and have returned over 100000 in
savings to our policyholders over the
rates charged by the stock companies.
In addition to this we have built up
loss paying assets amounting to more
than two and half times the amount
which past experience shows would be
necessary to carry all our existing
policies to expiration. This is a greater
loss paying ability than is shown by the
ten largest American stock companies
in the United States.
We have done this only by furnish
ing the soundest indemnify and an un-
excelled service, and by soliciting bust
ness solely upon the merits Of our. own
institution, and we have never felt
called upon to defame or misrepresent
either the stock companies or their rep
resentatives. We have complied with
the laws of all the states in which we
are doing business, and we are in good
standing with the commissioners of
those states, which includes your own
good state of Idaho.
When we find we cannot continue to
do business on this basis, or that it is
necessary to stoop to Misrepresentation,
we shall retire from the business.

we heard of Tanlac. / got this medi-

Of all the maladies that aff1ict hui
mainly chronic dyspepsia, such as Mr..
and Mrs. White suffered from, is prob
ably the most prevalent, and hours
might be consumed in describing the
sufferings, mental and bodily, of the
victims of chronic dyspepsia.
A morbid, unreal, whimsical and
melancholy condition of the mind,
aside from the nervous physical suffer
ing, is the usual state of the average
dyspeptic, and life seems scarcely
worth living. --.--
Tanlac, the celebrated medicine, was
designed especially for overcoming
this distressing condition and millions
of people have taken it with the most
astonishing and gratifying results. 1t

FEW EYES REALLY NORMAL
Just as One Is Right or Left Handed,
So 1t Is With the Organs
Of Vision.

Very few people realize that they
are as much right-eyed or left-eyed
as they are right or left-handed.
Sit down in a chair and fix your at
tention on some object on the other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right in front of the object,
and instantly shut your eyes. Then
without moving your head or your
finger, open your eyes one at time.
If, when you open your right eye you
find your finger directly in front of
the object, you are right-eyed. In
that case you will find your finger
very much to the right Of the object
when You open your left eye.
If you are right-handed you will
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one is slight
ly more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side of
your body which is controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those of the other side.
