WILL KILL HOME COMPANIES r-n llonn of Men sure II ml, Sn)n lliMTiiril, n nil Office It Creates .Vnt Aeeilci! to Do the Work. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Mnrch 13.-(Speclat.)-8tate Auditor Howard lias prepared a state ment regarding tho bill now before the cnatc known as senate fife No. 364, In troduced by Cordeal of hed Willow county, In which he says that tho Insur ance department of hie office or himself has not been consulted regarding tho bill, and that If put In force It will kill out ilsht the youns homo companies of the slate. His statement Is as follows: "The law makes me Insurance commis sioner of the state of Nebraska. I was elected auditor becaure the people wanted me to have control and supervision of the Insurance business of the state, t um an experienced Insurance man, hav ing bee seventeen years In the business. 1 am not an officer or stockholder In any Insurance company. I took my of fice .lanuary 9 and have been continu ously on duty from that day to this. Call for Hoard. "Section 3 provides for the creating of an insurance board composed of the gov ernor, attorney general and state auditor, tfhey are to have general supervision and control of tho Insurance business nnd are empowered to appoint a secretary who Is to look after the departmental work. This will result. In actual prac tice, that tha, secretary will be the head of the Insurance department and the othpr three will have very little or noth ing to say In tho general routine of the matters comtng before the insurance commission for action. It also means that the people In the state of Nebraska are going" to be denied In the future tho right to nay who shall be the head of the Nebraska Insurance department. Tho department is made a matter of barter and exchange. "The code bill, senate file No. 361, was prepared without consulting me or any person In tho auditor's office. I have never been called into counsel upon the bill or any other Insurance bill by either committee. I have, not had a single provision of the bill called to my atten tion by the revision comtslssloners or the committee. However, I know what is in the bill. I am unalterably opposed to It for very many particular reasons. I know that It Is an astault upon the struggling young llfo companies and our only two bonding companies. I believe it will do for the life and bond "compa nies what has already been done to our state fire companies. It will kill them by Inches If not outright. Affect KxUUiiK Contracts. "The Insurance companies, of thjs state have been built up on the present laws. their contracts, policies and obligations are bascd.upoh the present statuses; the department and the companies -know- their position and standing based upon the courts, decision on debatable points. To wipe out tne present laws ana enact n code conflicting materially from the pres cnt law means a rearrangement of com pany and departmental affairs and with tho resultant litigation to determine de batable points. "I am opposed to creating a board of insurance. It Is a complicated method of conducting the business. Only one other state in tho union has an insurance board, I ant opposed to emasculating the- audit or's office by taking this branch of its business" out' of' tho supervision of the head of the; "department. The principle Is bad and tho governor .and attorney gen eral already have more- board business than they1, can possibly perform. . "An actuary by the year lsnot needed. Kxamlners by the year Is reckless ex travagance. The actuary has only about three months' work. The examiners do all their work practically In the early months of the year. The present fees for examiners are largely J5 per day, payable by the companies. The bill gives them $2,000 each us salary to be paid by the state. The bill also authorizes the em' ployment of additional examiners, clerks, stenographers and employes without limit This is bad. "I hope the senators who have not read this bill will read It through, and study It, for It will be tho worst legislation ever enacted In Nebraska, If tho bill goes lhrough without material amendment."
