reau by requiring statistics on insurance ,
fisheries , electrical industries , savings

REFORMS FOR LIFE INSURANCE.
York Committee Presents Re
port to IiCKlnluturc.
In a merciless and thorough arraign
ment the insurance investigating commit
tee of the New York Legislature review
ed the situation it has uncovered. After
making a number of recommendations for
reform the committee inits long-expect
ed report summarizes the sensational
testimony it brought out and showed how
matters could be remedied.
Absolute prohibition of campaign con
tributions , strict regulatipn of all life in
surance investments , limitation of new
business and the participation of every
policy holder in the election of company
officeis these are a few of the proposed
cures.
Lobbying is denounced as pernicious
and needless in plain terms , and the Leg
islature is told that it owes it to itself
to stop the practice. As to campaign
contributions , the report says :
"Ihe frank admission that moneys
have been obtained for use in State cam
paigns in the expectation that candidates
thus aided would support the interests of
the * companies has exposed both those
who solicited the contributions and those
who made them to severe and just con
demnation. The committee recommends
the passage of an unequivocal and dras
tic measure to remedy this evil. "
Matters demanding the consideration of
the Legislature for the purpose of rem
edying existing evils and of establishing
more securely the business of life insur
ance in this State are grouped under the
following heads :
I. Organization of life insurance cor
porations.
. 2. Control , or the rights of policy hold
ers in. the election of directors.
3. Retirement of stock.
4. Investment including syndicate par
ticipations.
5. Limitations of new business.
6. Political contributions.
7. Lobbying.
8. Limitation of expenses.
9. Valuation of policies.
10. Rebates.
II. Surrender values.
12. Ascertainment and distribution of
surplus.
13. Remedies of policy holders , or
right to resort to the courts.
14. Forms of policies.
15. Publicity and State supervision.
1C. Penalties.

ment of such goods from one State to

ment for one year or both is prescribed.

ed tp agree upon regulations for the col
lection and examination of the articles
covered by the bill. The investigations

placed in the hands of the chief of the
bureau of chemistry and if he finds that
the law has been violated the United
States District Attorney is required to
institute proceedings in the federal courts.

Pearls are the most popular of all '
