STATE AUDITOR AGAINST SELL
ING OF INSURANCE STOCK.
WILL ASK- FOR LEGISLATION

Reference to State Guard. Capital
Matters in General.
Stato Auditor Barton is opposed to
Insurance companies selling stock
through agents whoso pay is taken
out of tho money paid for tho stock.
Along tho samo lino ho will ask for
legislation making it Illegal for any In
suranco company to trnnsnct business
in Nebraska whoso capital stock has
not been fully paid up and to prohibit
nny Insurnnco company hereafter
formed to do business In the stato if
tho cost of its organization and stock
sales has exceeded 6 per cent of tho
total sum contributed by the stock
holders. Tho stato auditor believes the prac-
tlco of insurnnco companies putting
stock salesmen out on tho rend selling
stock nnd paying these salesmen out
of tho money thoy sccuro from tho
stockholders Is not only bad practice,
but augurs well for Someone to lose
money. For that reason ho Intends to
fight tho practico If such is the prac
tice In Nebraska, and ho warns the
people against buying stock In such
companies.

mooting of tho insurance commission
ers from many states and n resolu
tion was adopted asking nil the states
to enact legislation nlong tho lines
nbovo set out.

thnt from 20 to 30 per cent of tho
stock on tho market and that per cent,
thorefore, of tho capital stock novcr
reached the treasury of tho company.
