RAcKETEER INSURANCE


Since the advent of the racketeers
who collect tribute from small tradesmen,
intimidation, demand for insurance pro-
lection against the depredations of these
crooks has been met by several insurance
companies.
A writer in Popular Science tells of a
clothing manufacturer in New York who
insured his place against damage by
racketeers. and collected the amount of his
loss when thugs ruined several thousand
dollars worth of garments by throwing q
stencil bomb containing chemicals which
impregnated them with smell that could
not be eradicated
1t is said that between 500 and 600
other establishments have taken out SINH
lar policies. They evidently think it
cheaper to buy this form of protection than
submit 10 the demands Of racketeers.
It would be interesting TO know just
how the actuaries figure out the premium
rates for such insurance. but 1t seems that
they can do il. In fact they win insure
against almost any kind Of hazard, from
catching cold to being kidnapped. Il IS
said that some families insure against the

Ago Today A. Taken From
The Files OF The Citizen

With the royal poinciana con-
sidered the most beautiful flower
in South Florida, a local Rotarian
wonderingly asked today why it
has never been chosen as the class
flower by any of the graduates of
the public schools in Monroe coun-
ty. Then he answered his own
question by surmising that the
reason for this is that the poinci-
ana is so common that its beauty
goes unheeded by those who daily
see the gorgeous trees.

NORRIS TO BATTLE
FOR RIVER PROJECT
Veteran Senator'S Frien d .
Won't Believe His State.
ment He's Through

Washington, Nov. o. (AP) y
George w. Norris, who has had his
shoulders pinned to the senatorial
mat more times than any other man
but never hollered "down," plans
more scraps.
Nebraska's 73-year-old wrestler
with things-as-they-are said, "This is
my last fight" after winning ! one
house legislature for the Cornhusker
state in the recent election.
But his friends don't believe it.
Already, they say, he has tentative
plans to recondition his proposed con-
stitutional amendn. ent to abolish the
electoral college. Last session, this
measure underwent major operations
very painful to Norris-in COM
mittee rooms, and then twice lost the
decision in the senate.
Besides this proposal, Norris still
has hope for his Missouri river de-
velopment bill, sort of follow-up on
the iva for which Norris cid spade
work over the years.
Il President Roosevelt submits a
national river development plan TO
promote his idea of cheap electricity
for all municipalities, the Missouri
plan will Be what Norris describes as
a spoke in the big industrialization
and flood control wheel. Otherwise,
the regional idea may be pushed in
dependently.
The man who, after yea Of defeat,
