GROUP INSURANCE

Life insurance and better relations De-
tween employer and emrloye are TWO
OF the big factors in modern civilization.
; Each one considered separately IS n'sn-
". desirable. Each has called forth the
best thought and efforts OF many thou-
sands Of our biggest business men. Lire
insurance alone is \ tremendous SUBJECT
touching our lives ut an infinite NUMBER
Of points. Relations OF employer ana
employe. or, In other words. OF capital
and labor. are equally vital and exert
: upos, our social fabric an Influence that
can hardly DO overesLimated.
Tina genius Of modern thought has
combined these two forces, and the re-
Sult Is known as group insurance. Like
8 II great ideas. group insurance is SIM
pie and easily understood. II means
that an employer takes out an insurance
policy for a certain amount Tor each OF
his employees. II has been found that
about 90 out Of 100 workers insured by
this plan would not carry adequate In
surance In any other way. On an aver
age. 20 out Of each 100 could not pass
the physical examination. but IN group
insurance. when more than specIhed
number are insured, no examination IS
required
The premiums for group insurance
are Paid by the employer and are not
taken out Of tho wages of the cmpioEe.
The advantages to the employe ere OBJ
yious If anyone thus insured dies. his
family Immediately receives a check for
the amount % the policy.
Hut what are the advantages to the
employer What does ne get out OF
group insurance TO Justify him in pay
Ing for it, First of all. ne gets re-
duced turnover. In other words. fewer
men Quit the job. This has been so con-
Clusiycly demonstrated that Il Is no
longer an experiment. Figures on labor
turnover show the cost for each, :ndl-
v,dual employc 10 run from $40 I" $3.50.
The average = st of group insurance for
100 employees Is about $500 year. There
is TO begin with. then. n definite ,finan-
ciaI saving for IN" employer
Even more important ~ tho better
feeling that the plan always tends 10
develop between employer and employe.
A fellow worker dc, and the other en-
poSeS see the woo" receive u SuoStan-
tial check. That IS something worth
while. and It IS appreciated. The plant
that has group insurance IA for that
reason considered i more desirable place
10 work than one without Il. The en-
ploye riGhtfully feels that nc IS more
closely linked to the company by his
policy. and he does not quit for any
m in
surance Is a coRCrcte fact that helps the
worker TO grasp the principle Of indus
trial cooperation. Having Graspcd that.
he profits by Il. and his employer profits
also.

National Political Correspondent OF
The IntelNgencer


Washington. u. G. May 22.--There
have been two events IN Washington
this week which are essential sign
boards OF fundamental tendency. Inc
first and most obvious is our refusal 10
interfere In SileRa.
This step marks the deiimHation ~
Americas new policy IN foreign aNalFS
We are going TO ask TO sit in IN
fact. we are going TO press our riEn'
10 sit In" IN all matters as TO when
America has an interest. The theory
OF our new poliry is that Americas IN
forest and Americas right go hand in
hand. but where Americas interest ends
Americas right ends. And that in thos"
matters where we have no right ""
are going 10 avoid enlargement. Broad
" speaking, Americas new p0Hcy -
that we have an inters IN every econ
ornic matter taken up by III" supreme
Council, but that we have no interest IN
any political matter affecting Nir"pe
taken up by the Supreme Council.
The illustration Of this new policy -
now complete. We had an interest IN
me economic aspect OF the German re-
parations, and therefore. We took q
hand. We had no interest IN IN" pNT"'F
political subject OF the boundary DC
tween Poland and Germany ana 'ncT'
fore, We declined tO TAX" hand, rms
is 4 complete picture OF IN" new p"'ICF'
or course. the place whore tho lin" IS
drawn is more or loss arbitrary. We
say. for example. that we have an IN
,erest in the amount OF export duty
which the Allies put upon German goods
because that export duty Will have an
economic effect upon every person IN
America who directly or indirectly ouNS
from Germany soils 20 Germany
every person who directly or indirectly
either consumes German goods or sells
goods 10 Germany. But. on the contrary

They cite the fact that 13 policeman
have been added TO the force since the
addition Of the Ninth and Tenth wards
to the city. and the further fact that tho
salaries Of policemen and ffremen hAvA
been raised ten dollars a month-froni

travangance.
I would like TO inquire Of these gem
tlcmcn whether. II elected. they would
favor doing away with policemen In the
Ninth and Tenth wards. / would also
like for them 10 tell me whether they
would favor a reduction in the salaries
Of fremen and policemen below 3l35

If they think economies may be ef'
fected. / would like for them to specify
before the election just how and where.

~ as regards the withdrawal OF liquor
from bonded warehouses. Mr.. Wheeler
says that Of the 35.O00,000 gallons with
drawn last year. fully so percent was
used for beverage purposes. That should
be comparatively easy to regulate. Con-
troll Of Withdrawals Is a simple matter
compared with control OF violations
after the liquor Is scattered over the
country.
To medicate or denature liquor before
withdrawal. so that 1t would be unit
for beverage purposes, Is suggested hr
Mr. Wheeler. This should not be neccs-
sary. 1t would involve heavy expense
and would render the liquor to some ex-

cinal purposes. 1t Is possible 10 safe
