NATIONAL CONTROL
SENATOR DRYDEN SOUNDING
PUBLIC ON THE QUESTION
Intends to Introduce a Bill and is
Anxious to Secure Favorable An
swers -to His Circular Letter Con
taining List of Questions
New York, Oct. 15. For the pur
pose of securing a comprehensive ex
pression of public opinion on the
question of national control of life
Insurance companies, ' United States
Senator John F. Dryden of New Jer
sey has sent out many copies of the
following circular letter, with the ap
pended list of questions to be an
swered: ; !
President Wants It
In his last annual message, Presi
dent Roosevelt called the attention
of congress to the-necessity for- fed'
eral legislation providing . for the
regulation and control of insurance
companies transacting interstate and
hmational business. In compliance
with an increasing demand from in
surance policyholders and others in
terested in the public welfare I in
troduced into the last congress a bill
to this, effect, providing that there
should be established within the
bureau of corporations a division of
insurance, and that policies of insur
ance were deemed to be articles of
commerce and instrumentalities
thereof. This was introduced too late
to secure final consideration, but the
demand for such a . measure has be
come even more apparent in the
meantime and I expect. to reintroduce
the same, possibly with slight modi
fications, into the congress which is
to meet in December.
The bill will be Introduced on be
half of the policyholders of all Ameri
can insurance companies in the firm
belief that their present and future
interests demand the additional pro
tection of a federal statute regulat
ing insurance transactions between
the states, in addition, of course, to
such supervision and regulation as
constitutionally belongs to the states
of which the companies derive their
charters. Furthermorer-that" by-elim-nating
a considerable amount of need
less state supervision, the following
important benefits are expected to re
sult: Benefits Expected
First An increase in the security
ojJ the policyholders.
Second A decrease in the expense
rate and tho cost of insurance.
Third A decrease in the burden of
needless taxation.
Fourth A decrease in the amount
of clerical labor now indispensable to
meet the requirements of some fifty
slate?! and territories.
SixthAdequate national protection
for American companies transacting
business in foreign countries.
Since thus far interstate insurance
transactions have not been brought
within the scope of congressional ac
tion, I desire to secure an expression
of views from the interests affwfed
by such u measure and I, therefore,
take the liberty of troubling you with
a few questions of which I would like
to have you reply eitlx-r yes or no,
m the ea.se may In . toother whh
anv additional comment h of your own
which you inav wish to nmke on the
natter. If entirely convenient Undly
till in and return to im the attached
blank in the inclosed Mumped en
velope and accept In advance my tn
cere ihankit for your courtesy and
fo-oteratkn hi niv effort to Kecur" n
eoirehenlve ixiu cn-don of quailed i
public opinion up'n a matter vitally
affecting the welfare of the American
people:
Question 1 Do you indorse the sug
gestion of President Roosevelt that
insuranco companies engaged in in
terstate insurance business should be
regulated by and brought under the
control of the federal government?
Question 2 Do you hold the insur
ance business to be a national rather
than a local interest and properly en
titled to the solicitude and care of
the national government?
Question 3 As a matter of. personal
opinion, do you hold the business of
insurance to be commerce, or an in
tegral and indispensable element of
commerce, in the sense in which this
term is used in every day language?
Question 4 Are you in any way ap
prehensive that it -would be inex
pedient or inadvisable to increase the
power of the federal government to
tho extent implied in the regulation
of. insurance by congress?
