"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

upon policyholders would be resented

of the 'tax and would be resisted by
armed force tt necessary because tho
American people are not going to tamely
submit to an arbitrary exercise of tax
ation powers where the tax levied Is not
for the benefit and In the Interest of those
taxed. What therefore should be the
duty of the state hi exorcising Its police
powers? In my Judgment as I seo It tho

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."

cordance with a law enacted by the last
legislature. In order to be accredited

tract, .west of Thirty-sixth street and
north of Q streqt.
For the encouragement of this work
tho state pays a minimum of $626 per
year or a maximum .of SLSS0. The rental
of the land is a nominal amount, leaving
the -greater portion of what tho state
donates to be applied In defraying the
expensed which .. had already been In.

A LESSON IN FIGURES
What amount of life (nsuranco do you suppose wan written In Nebraska,
In 1912? 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. Why thin Inconsistency?
Probably because they do not consider tills phaso of the uuestlon. Place
