The Insurance Inquiry "The Investigation into the management of the State Life Insurance company has brought to light some interesting things. We have seen that several thousand dollars was paid to men who were to see that a certain bill got through the Legislature, that two minute books of the company have been lost, that salaries have been steadily raised by the men who draw them, that the officers drew what money they pleased for traveling expenses, of which they rendered no account, that one man was paid $100 a month to cease his attacks on the company, and that the officers drew three or four salaries salaries as officers, directors, members of the executive committee and office employes. When Mr. Quinn was asked yesterday whether he thought it good business policy for the officers to draw money and not to account for it, he frankly replied: " 'No, sir. I think it would have been better for us to have accounted for It. I used my own money on many of my trips for the benefit of the company. "Mr. Quinn is right. But the fatal defect in the organization of the State Life Is that there seems to have been no check on the officers. The name men were officers and directors and members of the executive com mittee the only directors that the company had were the officers who Mere to be directed. Mr. Quinn said yesterday that each officer audited his own accounts. Surely that Is not good business. It is not certain even that the by-laws were observed. For when Mr. Wynn was asked whether the by-laws did not provide that Mr. Sweeney should preside at the meetings of the executive committee "because he was presilent," the witness answered: -The by-laws were made a long time ago. Wo may have followed sumo other by-laws. I don't know. We took what was good.' "When salaries were paid to these gentlemen in their various capacities, it is to bo remembered that they were paid to the same men. Messrs. Sweeney, Quinn, Wynn and Coffin were officers, directors and members c.f the executive committee. They voted their own salaries, increased them as they saw fit, charged them up to such accounts as they thought l ioper, drew what they thought right for traveling expenses, and each of them audited his own accounts. In this connection it should be remembered that Mr. Quinn held the proxies of those entitled to vote, and that they were frankly asked for on the ground that it was desired to perpetuate the present officers. It was a very close corporation. "And that is the trouble. If there had been proper supervision, real auditing, and directing done by men who were not themselves officers, none of the abuses could have grown up. But the present officers are responsible for the organization, and they seem to have been well safsfied with it. Enough has already been developed to prove the need for a strong insurance law. No officer of an insurance company should draw more than one salary, and that salary should be fixed by others than himself and those associated with him in the active management of the company. No money of the company should be spent for lobby expenses or blackmail. The right sort of law would protect all Insurance companies, and would make it unnecessary for them to resort to Improper
schemes. The interests of the companies as wen as uie mieresis ui iuo policy holders demand wise and effective insurance legislation. We look to the legislature to give it to us." Indianapolis News. During the course of the Texas Investigation of Senator Bailey yesterday he called a member of the Texas legislature who brought a charge against him a liar. He later, apologized saying that this investigation was getting on his "nerves." The genial senator should remember that an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure. Thaw's senseless and arbitary behavior towards his attorneys since his arrest ought to be enough to convince any jury that he is suffering from some kind of insanity.

purpose of printing attacks on the State Life that were prepared by Matsou from information furnished by the IJfe Underwriters' association of Indiana, or by members of the association themselves. The employment by Mr. Quinn of Matson. dates back to 1902. Until August, 1905, the "hush" money given the editor was charged on the State Life's books as traveling xpenses against Mr. Quinn. After August. 1905, the $100 a month was lharged as "agents salary." It is still so charged. Forced to Settle. It was explained by Mr. Quinn that lbs attacks on the State Life in the Policy Holder cost the company $1,500,00 0 worth of business and $30,000 n premiums the first year. Agents, ioo, were deserting the company, and -.he damage being done was great." The ife of the company demanded that omething be done to stop the attacks. "Well, as a matter of fact. inquird James W.

cases of Catarrh, Stomach and Kidney troubles. One of our citizens said that six doses of Root Juice had convinced . him that it was the greatest remedy on earth for Indigestion, as he was entirely relieved of an acute attack of indigestion after taking six doses of the great medicine. As so much talk is being created elsewhere about Root Juice, the people of Richmond are becoming interested and the Root Juice people have been urged to send some of the Root Juice instructors to this point. It is probable that by Saturday the Invitation will be accepted. We are told that the wonderful demonstrations will be conducted by the Root Juice Scientist and lady assistant In Luken's drug store.
