"American Insurance companies' we supervised to death, and It would be well for the policyholders If there wore less exercise of the state's police power In governing the corporations in which they have placed their contracts." The quoted paracraph expresses the opinion of Hotu W. B. Howard,, state auditor of public accounts, taken from a prepared paper on "Supervision of In surance Companies by tho 'State" Mr. Howard does not presumo .to dis courage efforts "to Improve Insurance conditions wherever possible," but pro tests vigorously against the persistent attacks of political freebooters on the companies. He says: "These great fi duciary corporations which hold In trust for the benefit of their policyholders billions of dollars 6(ten are mado tho subject of politics ami sometimes 'booted about by cheap politicians under the gulso of state supervision. Unfortunately for tho business, few men of insurance experience find places In the state de partment. Tho reason tor this Is patent. The salary paid state, officials Is In the whole niggardly, and no lnturance man who values his time can aflord to en gage In. politics nor docs his natural In clination turn hlrn In that direction. He Is rendering ataletstico to thousands whose home3 would otherwise be deso late and btoken. He Is conscious of hla ability 'to earn tils bread In the sweat of his brow and to build up a business that shall be a source Of Income and a credit to his Intelligent effort and Industry. Therefore, the field of polltlca Is not attractive and' frequcriUr we find that men are' called to 'the departments to supervise Insurance companies through the fortunes of politics who have little or no knowledge of tho business and It cannot but be that, such supervision If not harmful, at least Inefficient and helpless. "Against such superlvtslon I wish to reg ister a most vigorous protest. The policy holders who ' rtposo their contldenco In the companies have a right, and the com panies who have assumed the obligation have a right to demand In the office of Insurance commissioner a man whose' general Information' concerning Insurance Is second to none In the business. This condition must prevaU beforo state Su pervision qr control can be very benefi cial and' beforo either tho policyholders or the .company can expect any Intelli gent return upon the taxes they pay for etnto supervision. "In my own state," Mr. Howard con tinues, "the Insurnnco companies pay in taxes to the department of Insurance the tremendous sum of $2oI,Q00 per blennlum while the cost of supervision Is less than one-tenth of that sum. This evil has IN A BIG FIRE RECENTLY Caused losses of thousands of dollars to several Omaha firms, but they wers protected In BEX.XABSB -companies. . M ToUy jXtX. Bank. 1703.

What therefore should be the duty of the state hi exorcising Its police powers?

There Is much anxiety arhonor com panies over the rate oltuatlon In Missouri, as some neonts. eager to get premiums nftcr the long famine, are cutting rates.

OMAHA The Persistent and Judicious Use of Newspaper Advertising Is tho Head to Business Success. "Insuranco companies are taking full advantage of the depression In tho bond market," said Walter G. Preston, treas urer of tho Bankers Reserve Life com pany. "They nro buying bonds chciper than at any tlmo In tho last fifteen years. This and othor oomnanten aro deriving an additional profit In tho pur chase of registered bonds, and policy holders are receiving In consequence a larger rato of annual dlvtdendt. "What Is more Important," continued Mr. Preston, "Is tho fact that the con dition of tho money market during the year, with Its higher Interest rate, has not only effectually checked real estnto speculation with its accompanying de mand for farm loans, but 'ho high rates have boon the means practically of st ip ping the demand for all tarn loans of tho higher grade, such as tho rtankcra Life requires. "On tho other hand thcro Is seen a decided tendency on tho part of the farmer to rcduco his mortgage, loans as rapidly as possible. It Is not (lily surprising to noto the ability of tho farmor to reiluco his tndcbJcVlness- even In a tight money market, but It em phasizes what will bo accomplished In a vory few years ,by the so-called 'hlue sky' laws, like that which has recently taken effect In 'Nebraska and other states. This new law will keep mllll.n.i of dollars annually within tho state nr.d stop the annual outgo of money lured to other Mates through the efforts of thi blue sky promoters. It is Invested In mahy oases In dubious enterprises such ax wild land, timber land, mining and oil lands, and miscellaneous propositions, too many of which aro positively With out merit, tho money so Invested nevor coming back Into the state. "It Is evident to the student of the sltU; atlon," concluded Mr, Preston, "that a very few years under a strict enforcement of this now law discouraging outslde-spco-ulatlon will prevent tho throwing of money to the winds. When that result Is achieved, Nebraska will becomo a creditor state, with the .farming com munity free from debt and resultant growth to tho towns and cities. No braskans will then be the most prosper ous pooplo In tho world. "Statisticians tell us that tho annual production of wealth In Nebraska Is valuod at $000,000,000, and that of this vast sum, perhaps $135,000,000 represents the surplus capital, which the producers muy.j use In different forms of investment and speculation. Thus we get an Idea of the wisdom of our Jaw makers, when they framed tho so-called blue-sky law, which wo all hope will put an end to lll-ad-vised speculation." Equitable Life Assurance Society U.

There waa $31,300,000 of which only $10,040,000 was placed In Ne braska companies. The total premhunn paid In this same year by Nebraakans on all their life Insurance, whether taken n 1012 or 'In prior years aggre gated $5,178,000 of which only $1,486,000 was paid to Nebraska companies. Theoretically every cltlcen of tho state believes In patronizing Nebraska companies. Yet, when most of them, an the flguros show, come to signing applications, they choose an outside company.
