Upset Over New Insurance Rate Plan Rules
State capital reports show Topeka insurance men protesting Governor Stanley’s plan to reduce rates. Leaders Charles Jolliot and Frank Thess spearhead meetings with D. W.

The dispute reflects broader tension between regulators, insurers, and political influence in Topeka.
