Governor Cummins today Auditor B. F.
Carroll make the moat radical recom
rnandaUons for Ufa liumrance legislation
and ntntfwifint that haa ever been made
officially In thla Mate. He reports that an
Investigation haa disclosed that fraternal
1 companies are making Investments all the
I way from the forest lands of Washington
' and Oregon to the stock In the Trsnsslbe.
' rlao railway . of Russia and China. He
states that he found the Dee Moines Life
' Insurance company baa Invested to the ex
tent of $120,521.60 In land In the Boise val
ley in Idaho and Included In the desert
land act of congress, the value of which
depended on im being Irrigated. That It
has not baen Irrigated yet and hence on
his orders the company has called In the
i Joan. Though the loan did not make the
company Insolvent It Is given by the
auditor as a sample of reckless Invest
ment. Ths report recommends that the deferred
dividend be abolished by law, as most of
th evils In Insurance are to be traced to
that practice.
Auditor Carroll states that fraternal and
assessment company rates are entirely In
adequate and recommends that legislation
be enacted prohibiting further companies
being formed unless on rates that are much
higher, and says that many companies or
gantsed In the past have been purely as
speculations and to furnish positions for
Uia officers. He states "experience has suf
flclently demonstrated the fact thnt fr'
ternals cannot of themselves be depended
ttpon to reorganise and bring about condl
iions that can be looked upon and regarded
as permanent."
The auditor points to the fact that eigh
teen assessment companies have been or
ganised In the state and only four remain,
the others having reinsured or failed. Dur
ing ths year ending December 81. 1906. the
life Insurance business has increased from
871,0110,000 Insurance In force to 8S2.000.ono;
premium receipts Increased over previous
years from 82.s00.000 to 82.800,000; admitted
assets from a little under M.OOO.noo to over
89,000,000; amount paid policyholders from
8810,000 to 8803.000, thess figures being for
Iowa companies.
The report recommends a standard form
of policy and that companies be prohibited
from using any other form without first
submitting It to the governor, attorney gen
eral and auditor, and recommends that
proxies be prohibited.
Wade Oat af the Rare.
. Judge M. J. Wade, lata congressman from
the Second congressional district. In an
Interview In Iowa City today stated that
tinder no conditions would he accept the
nomination for governor on the democratic
ticket at the convention In Waterloo next
Tuesday This Is taken as eliminating
Judge Wade from all possibility as a candi
date for that office. During the last few
days there has been a revival of discussion
of Clsuda Porter of Centervllle as a guber
natorial possibility on that ticket. It Is
understood that he Is the choice of Hon.
Jerry B. Bulllvan, the" last candidate on
'ha democratic ticket for governor. John
D. Dennlson, Jr., of Dubuque, Mayor Ball
of ' lows City ad Claude R. Porter of
Centervllle are thus left as practically the
only candidates In the field for the posi
tion. Below that of governor the other
positions to be named on the ticket have
bean. little discussed, either in the papers
or by th politicians.
