(From Staff Correspondent ) DBS MOINES, Ic. l.-'Speotnl.V-AI-though the law require that the legislative Insursnce commission lile Its report with the elate auditor today, the report Is not yet completed. The report was filed, but the commission will be at work a'.l day to morrow trying to reach a conclusion as to some of the provisions. Almost the en tire forenoon today was spent In discus sing the question of deferred or annual distribution of surplus to the policyholder. Representatives Kendall and Jones took one side and Senator Jamison and Bleakly and Representative Clary the other side. There is uniformity of opinion on the matter to thl extant, that all are opposed to the deferred distribution policy, but some believe that It Is Impossible to change now. while others believe It to be Inex pedient, but desire to leave the matter open for the legislature to wrestle with. To thl latter belong Kendall and Jones. Sen ator Jamison, Senator Bleakly and Repre sentative Clary are of an opinion that It Is Impossible now to change the system and require life Insurance companies to dis tribute their surplus annually without se rious financial damage to the companies and the policyholders In making the change. The vital point in the matter Is whether the commission shall make any recommendation to the legislature, or ig noring the fact that the commislsoner be lieve the deferred distribution bad. pro ceed to recommend no change, and no legislation. Kendall and Jones are not ready to recommend against legislation. They think the legislature should be told the facta and allowed to act for Itself. The discussion during the forenoon today on the proposition grew quite Interesting, and animated. This afternoon Kendall and Jones made an effort to draw up a state ment of their beliefs on the question to be attached to the regular report which the majority will make. None of the other questions In the report required a much discussion In reaching a conclusion as did this one. The report, when finally com pleted, will recommend allowance of co Insurance for policies of 110. 600 or over. It will recommend prohibition of organisa tion of fraternal companies which do not charge a rate at least as large as the mortality tables; a uniform fire Insurance policy, and compelling the older fraternal to go to that basis at the end of five years; prohibiting assessment companies except on a reserve basis; a uniform policy law.
