THE WEALTH MAKERS. Apiil 18, 1895 c Conducted by J. Y. M. Hwibaht. Correspon dence (elicited. Kir, cyclone or ball. The Governor' Veto Governor llolconib did not approve of II. R. 240. A bill intended to allow peo- pie owning town property of any kind to organize and insure theuiHelves with out the intervention of money making insurance companion. He has mado the mistake of comparing the present farm mutual law, with this propottod law and aa he had been well imprestied with the workings of the farm mutuals under the law, he concluded that II. U. 24Gwasnot explicit enough. If any one will look uour farm mutual law he will And that it takes the form of articles of incorporation, and the govern or considers it a good and complete law; but the new law was somewhat short of that But if you should turn to the Iowa code you find that the law under which about 1150,000,000 worth of property is In sured you will see that there is need of but little law in mutual fire insurance when taken into consideration that every member of the compauy is holding for his proportionate share of all losses that may occur, whetherthatbe large orsniall. We have no decision touching this point in this state, but there was a decision in the Michigan Supreme Court some years ago, that has been taken as good gospel by all mutual men; Stock companies road agents use this same decision to care men about mutual companies, tell ing them that an application in a mutual is a mortgage on his property, and that bo is liable to lose all he has in such a deal. While the facts are that the mem bers are liable for any losses that may Occur, but to take all ot the members property would be an improbability, be cause no one has his land insured, and it he had, it could not burn, and further, as only the buildings and personal prop erty are insured every member would have to have all he had insured destroyed before the members would have to pay the amount that their policy called for; but such talk goes as gospel among peo ple who have not looked at insurance statistics except through the spectacles of stock company's agents. "While thore is life there is hope." There is now a question whether the governor filed his veto message with the secretary of state before the time al lotted by the constitution, which is Ave days (Sundays excepted) while the legis lature is in session and after adjournment five days (Sundays not spoken of). The bill was given to the governor at 10:45 o'clock p. m., April 5th and he filed it with secretary of state at 10:15 a. m. on April 11th, less than five days without Sunday. Which is purely a technical point. There are other bills in the same boat among which is the Omaha charter. That will no doubt be taken to the Su preme Court for an opinion before the iirst of August, the time that all laws passed without the emergency clause will take effect, Delow we give the Iowa law which is only a section in theinsurancechapter,but has given complete satisfaction for about twenty years. The governor in his veto message al ludes to Sec. 40,Ch. 43,compiIed statutes of Neb., 1889. That section is almost verbatim with the Iowa law but it is en titled "Unincorporated Mutual Compan ies." In Iowa the companies incorpor ate under the same law that we are, pre vented from incorporating under in this state. I think that if the governor had had the Iowa law and the knowledge of its working before hinfH. R. 246 would not have been vetoed. IOWA LAW. "1723. Mutual Associations. 1160; 16 G. A. Nothing in this chapter shall be so construed as to prevent any num ber of persons from making mutual pledges and giving valid obligations to each other from their own insurance from loss by fire or death, or doss or damage by tornadoes, lightning, hail storms, cyclones or wind storms, but such association of persons shall in no case insure any property not owned by any one of their own number, except such school houses or church buildings as the said companies deem proper to insure within the territory where they do business, and no life except that of their own members, nor shall the provisions of this chapter be applicable to such asso ciations or companies. Each fire insur ance company organized under the pro visions of tins chapter shall report iu January of each year, to the Auditor of State, which report shall show -the fol lowing facts: 1. Name of company. 2. l'lace of doing business. 3. Names of president and secretary. 4. ' Address of secretary. 5. Date of commencing business, 6. Amount of risks in force at the be ginning of the year. 7. Amount of risks written during the year. 8. Amount of risks cancelled. 9. Amount in force at the end of the year. 10. Amount of losses paid during the year. 11. Amount of other expenses. 12. Total expenses during the year." Statute of 1888. THE BILL THE GOVERNOR VETOED HOUSE BOLL 246. Section 1. Any numberof personsnot less than one hundred (100), w ho own city or village property in the state worth at least one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) which they desire to insure against damage by fire, lightning or storm, may organize a mutual insur ance company under such restrictions, and rules as to management or discon tinuance of same, as the company may see fit to adopt. ' Sec. 6. The articles of incorporation of such company, containing the name of said company, the name of the city where the business office of the company is to be located, and intended duration of the company, together with its rules and by-laws, are to be filed with the auditor of public account, and it found conformable to this act, the auditor shall give certified copy of such articles and rules to said company, charging ten dollars ($10.00) (or such incorporation , proceedings.

Such corporation and its offi cers shall have the rights and iciform the duties usual to similar corporations and officers, mny sue and be sued, and shall imike an anuual report to the aud itor, in such manner as he may direct, If he becomes satisfied that any such cor poration is fraudulent in any way, he shall request the attorney general to in stitute proceeding t-oeiose up the busi ness of said company. For examining anuual report and granting certificate for continuing business the following year, the auditor shall charge one dollar (f 1.00); lor ngent s certillcate nity cents (50c). All of which, together with ten dollars ($10.00) incorporation fee, shall be paid into the state treasury and cred ited to thegcneral fund. Sec. 4. No officer, agent or attaches of any such corporation shall ever re ceive a salary, fees or commissions, to exceed seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750.00) per annum. If theauditor be lieves it necessary to investigate the books and records of such company, he, nor any deputy sent by him, sliull charge more than five dollars ($5.00) per day and necessary travelling expenses while making such investigation. Such mutual insurance company shall never make any dividend. Sec. 5. Every company organized un der this act; shall provide in its by-laws for an annual meeting to which all policy holders shall be invited. Eucli one pres ent at said meeting shall havo one vote and no more in the election of Officers, amending rules, and the transaction of all necessary business. No voting by proxy shall be allowed, but rules may be made so that policy holders can send their votes for election of officers by mail, and such votes shall be received and counted. . The goveruor contemplates giving the public in detail his reasous for the Veto, as soon as he has time. A 8PKCIALTV CRA8S MILLET AND CANE CLOVER. TIMOTHY.
