(From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES, la... Aug 4-tSpeclal Telegram.) In hla annual life Insurance re port msde to the leejlslature and filed with Governor Cummins today Auditor P. F. Carroll makes the most radical recom mendations for life Insurance legislation and management that has ever been mado officially In this state. He reports that as investigation has disclosed that fraternal companies are making investments all the way from the forest lndn of Washington and Oregon to the stock In the Transsllie- rlan railway of Russia and China. He states that he found the De Moines Life Insurance company , has Invested to the ex tent of $120,531.50 In land Irj the Boise val ley In Idaho and Included In the desert land act of congress, the value of which depended on Its being Irrigated. . That It ins not been Irrigated yet and hence en his orders the company has called In the loan. Though the loan did not make the company Insolvent It Is given by the auditor as a . sample of reckless Invest ment. The report recommends that the deferred dividend be abolished by law, ss most of the 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, snd says that many companies or ganized In fhe past have been purely ss speculations and to furnish positions for the officers.1 He ststes "experience has suf ficiently demonstrated the fact that fra temals cannot of themselves be depended upon to reorganise snd bring about condi tions that can be looked upon snd regarded as permanent." The suditnr points to the fact that eigh teen sssessment oompanles have been or ganized In the stste and only four remain, the others having reinsured or failed. Dur ing the year ending December $1. 105, the life Insurance business hss Increased from $71,000,000 Insursnee In force to $R2,Ofl0,0no; premium receipts Increased over previous years from $2,fif,ooo to $2.ano,000; admitted assets from a little under $",00O,o00 to over $.000,000; amount paid policyholders from $MM00. to $M.000, these figures being for Iowa companies. The report reeommende a standard form of polloy ,and that companies be prohibited from using, any other form -without first submitting It to the governor, sttorney gen eral and auditor, and recommends that proxies be prohibited. Wade Ont of the Race. Judge M. J. Wade, late congressman from the: Second congressional district. In an Interview In Iowa City today stated that under no conditions would he accept the nomination for governor on the democratic ticket at the convention In Waterloo next Tuesday This Is taken ss eliminating Judge Wade from an oslb!llty as a candi date for that offte. During the last few days there has been a revival of discussion of Claude Porter of Centervllle as a guber natorial possibility, on that ticket. It Is understood that he' Is :the choice of Hon. Jerry B. Sullivan, the last candidate on the democratic ticket for governor. John D. Dennlson, Jr.,' of Dubttqtie. Mayor Ball of ' Iowa City and Claude R, Porter of Centervllle are thus left as practically the only candldatea In the field for the posi tion. Below that of governor the other positions to be named on the ticket have been little discussed, either In the papers or by the politicians, t'nlted States Senator Deleantea, Governor Cummins has named the fol lowing as the delegates from Iowa to at tend the convention of delegates from all the states to further the movement to amend the constitution of the I'nlted States so ss to provide. for a vote direct on Vnlted States senators: Ex-Governor William Larrabee, of Clermont; Thomas D. Healy, of Fort Dodge; Senator Lester W. Lewis, of Clarlnda; Jerry B. Sullivan, of Des Moines; WaRer H. Dewey, of Charl ton. The lsst two are democrats and it Is understood are favorable to the prop osition though the resolution passed by the legislature last winter does not pro vide that democrats " must be : repre sented on tha delegation. The first three named are republicans. The convention has been called td meet In this city Sep tember 6 In the hall of the house of rep resentatives. Senator Lewis of Clarlnda was the originator of the resolution which he offered In the senate and .labored dil igently to get passed. Rothert Reappointed, Superintendent Henry R. Rothert has been reappointed by the State Board Of Control for another term of four years as superintendent of the school for the deaf at Council Bluffs. He has held the position tor many years. Too Many Plata. Tnere are spplicatlons thus far for L366 pens for the exhibition of swine in that department st the state fair this year and there are Just 1,292 pens available and no additional ground on which others can be built. This condition of affairs Is causing some Inconvenience to the swine breeders of the west. Arrangements are. being made for additional ground, but It will not be available for, this year's fair. The horse and cattle . entries closed this week and the Indications are that the barns will be more than 'filled, but. this can be taken care ot by erecting tents, which will be done.
