THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: AS A MATTER OF
C great interest to all citizens and taxpayers we
have a few suggestions to make in view of the
coming city election. As now organized we have
about eleven regular policemen, with Chief
and about nine specials. This, it appears to us,
but corporals guard-inadequate in number for
the required services and affording proper pro.
lection to citizens and property, but exacting from
the city treasury considerable money for salaries
We, therefore, suggest that as we have efficient
Fire Department, it should be aided in the protec-
ton of property by at least twenty regular police
men, under a proper Chief. The security thus
gained would be of incalculable benefit, and would
fully justify the additional outly The police force
thus organized should be uniformed, as in other
cities. MANY CITIZENS.

MR. HOPKINS AND THE INSURANCE
QUESTION.

Mr.. c. 7. Hopkins, the champion of the
new insurance monopoly programme, at
tempts, in long letter to contemporary,
to justify Senate Bill No. lss. We shall
deal here only with his own statements re-
garding the results to be looked for from
the passage of that bill, and out of his own
mouth we shall condemn him. He asserts
that if this bill becomes a law the public
"interest will be greatly subserved; First
g By the retention of larger portion than
sat present of the profits from insurance in
'the State. Secondly the permanent
"exclusion of local, foreign and East
'sern wildcats from California. Third
"By restricting admission to this State
'to the best class of companies, all of
"whom will have secured all probable
liabilities to our citizens, by the deposit
cor investment of at least $500, 600 within
reach of our Courts, and who will con-
tribute their quota towards general
taxation. These are positively all the
important points sought to be gained by
GO the bill" The first allegation does not
tend to justify the bill in any way. 1t is
not to the interest of the public that a
larger portion of the profits from insurance
should be retained in the State. 1t is to
the interest of the local insurance compa-
MES alone that this should be the case, and
their interests are not identical with those
of the public. The question of the reten-
ton of the profits of insurance is one which
has no Importance from public stand
point. What the public interest demands
is safe insurance, and if that can be more
certainly attained by doing all the bust
ness of the State with foreign and East
Elm companies, it is the part of wisdom to
adopt that course The public do not
pay premiums in order to make dividends
for local companies, but in order to secure
their property. They are only inter-
ested in knowing how best to OBJ
tain that security, and the passage of a
law which proposes to retain the profits
of insurance in the State, at the sacrifice of
safety for the property insured, would be
fatuous proceeding Second, as to the al
legged exclusion of local, foreign and
Eastern wildcats from California" This
allegation is merely a conveniently loose
way of slandering whatever companies find
it impracticable to comply with the pro-
visions of Senate Bill No. 1SS. As the
majority of the foreign and Eastern com.
panies would withdraw if that bill was
enacted, Mr.. Hopkins could land probably
would) pretend that their withdrawal was
an evidence of their unsoundness but as
many of those companies which would
with draw represent larger capital than all
the local companies put together can show,
| this view is hardly tenahle

IHe trutn Is tnaI very lew companies
could afford to comply with such a law,
because there can be no guarantee that it
would not be adopted in other States. A
company might comply with it in one
State without special injury, but if all the
States followed the same policy it is per-
fectly clear that the business of insurance
would be destroyed, since it would be no
longer possible to obtain any real security
for the risks taken. The third allegation,
namely, that the deposit or investment of
$500, 600 would "secure all probable La
''bilities to our citizens" is simply ridicu-
lous. The deposit of $500, 900 would of
itself give the public no more security than
they had before. For Mr.. Hopkins, with
all his affected knowledge of insurance,
does not appear to comprehend Tor, per-
haps, does not find it convenient to re-
member), that the security offered by an
insurance company does not consist in the
amount of its capital, but in the nature
and distribution of its risks. A company
with a capital of $4,000 may afford bet
ter security to the insurer than a company
with 81, 900, 900 capital, if the one is doing
a cautious and well-distributed business,
and the latter is carrying over-insured and
concentrated risks Now Mr. Hopkins
admits that the bill he defends would drive
at least SS40,0O0,000 of capital out of the
State. This indeed is an underestimate,
but the admission will serve our purpose
notwithstanding. He claims that it will
concentrate the business also, and that
means thatit will diminish the security of
the public. Even now the local companies,
as we have shown, are carrying far heavier
risks than they ought to, and even now
they do not afford adequate protection to
insurers. But if this bill passed they
would divide among them at least
$40, 600, 900 more risks, and when a
great fire came it would be found
that the 100000 deposit clause was
really no additional security. Thus it
appears from the statements of Mr.. Hop
kins himself that the bill he advocates is
against public policy, and after such an
exhibit from its chief defender it is
scarcely necessary to say anything more.
1t is in fact bad bill in all essentials, and
its enactment would work serious and per-
manent injury to the State. If the local
insurance companies cannot hold their own
without being bolstered up in this way,
they had better go into liquidation, but
assuredly they have no right to come be-
fore the Legislature and demand that all
the property in the State shall be jeop-
ardized for the sake of creating artificial
business for their special benefit. The
doctrine of Protection is vicious one un-
der all circumstances, but it would be a
fatal one, as far as the public interests are
concerned, if applied to insurance.
