Stock Insurance
Companies Launch
Attack On Co-ops
Coop League News service)

4
NEW YORK = "The people who
want to make profit on insurance
are attacking those who want to in
sure themselves"
That, in essence, is the background
of the current attack private profit
insurance organizations are making
on the consumer cooperative move
ment, according to Wallace ]. Camp.
bell, assistant secretary of The Co
operative League of the u. S. A. The
attack. apparently growing out of a
common fountain head, is being laid
as smoke screen to cover the fail
ure of old line insurance companies
to meet the economic advantage
which consumer owned companies
have over organizations which have
to make a profit in addition to the
cost of service, Mr.. Campbell said.
Spokesman for the stock insurance
companies have admitted privately
that they are worried about the
growth of mutual and cooperative in
surance and that insurance company
strategy calls for Identifying these
two types of insurance and then rails
ing bogey to scare off the average
consumer of insurance who, according
to current trends in the industry, pre-
fers to have some say in the opera
tion of his insurance company and
the distribution of its earnings.
Speeches jammed with pseudo-pa-
triotism and pamphlets, "The Road to
Ruin" and What is American"
printed by the thousand with the pro-
fits from the insurance of their eli
ents, are apparently designed to boil
ster a policy which restated in its
bluntest form is "if you can't sell
man a policy on its merits, scare him
to DEATH"
1.-THE brain trust for the insurance
attack on the Co-ops made a serious
error in strategy in calling the Co-ops
Names" Mr.. Campbell continued.
"when they overlooked the fact that
more than three million farmers are
members of marketing co-operatives;
two million farm and city consumers
are members of consumer co-opera-
tives and another two million are
members of cooperative credit un-
ions. All these members and their
families, who normally make up a
very large prospective clientele for in
surance business, are being antagon-
lied by the name-calling attack on the
co-operatives." To illustrate his point
Mr.. Campbell pointed out that one
prominent churchman has told the
readers of the national Unitarian mag
aZine. The Christian Register, that
they may find the attack a good eX-
cuse not TO see the next stock insur-
ance agent that comes around.

Dear Sir:
1t has recently come to the notice
of this organization that despite a
favorable verdict of Montana's high
est court, Prof. Keeney of Montana
university has been forced to resign
and that four of his colleagues have
been asked to resign under circum-
stances closely resembling those of
Prof. Keeney's case. All the infof-
nation which can be secured on the
case seems to point to Pres. Simmons
of the University as author of these
actions. Accordingly, this body has
passed a resolution censoring Dr.
Simmons conduct and protesting in
general such violations of academic

Dear Sir:
In company with many other citi-
zens and educators who believe IN
democratic institutions and academic
freedom, | am deeply disturbed by
their continued infringement at Mon
tana State University. The action OF
the Montana Board of Education on
September II, in approving the rec
concentrations asking for the resigna-
ton of five full professors on pernla-
nent tenure, is violation of such ele-
mentary civil rights as due process
and trial by jury for the Board in
dicted and judged guilty these pro-
fessors, and then offered them hear
ing before this same board which had
already sat in judgment.
AS a librarian, l am especially dis
turbed at the frivolous manner in
which Professor Philip O. Keeney is
held to be guilty of ''inefficiency'
without any proof whatsoever. AS
you are doubtless aware, an impartial

status prior to his dismissal in April,

restored We respectfully suggest
that the entire situation could best
be resolved by changes in University
administration which would insure OBJ
servance of principles of procedure
and of academic freedom and tenure,
which have been violated in the case
of Prof Keeney, and more recently,
in the cases of Professors Atkinson,
Merriam, Mollett, and Lennes.

no suspicious sound he would dart
out and across to the next brown
clump. The trouble was he Is so
small that he couldn't see over the
brown grass very far and the result
was he had many narrow escapes,
especially from Roughleg the Hawk,
who all day long was on the watch.
There was one particular clump
of matted brown grass from under
the edge Of which Danny could peep
out and see the tree in the top Of
which Roughleg sat most of the
time. One morning about 10 days

they had little tunnels under the
snow and down there they were
quite safe. The only time they were
in real danger was when they went
up on top of the snow and this they
didn't have to do unless they wanted
to. Danny did it frequently just
for excitement, as you know.
