suranee companies to pay the full amount Of their
written policy, unless there is proof OF crimnality
on behalf Of the person insured. Now, am in favor
OF that BILL and it should be voted for by every mem.
Der in this House hinsurance companies receive the
premiums. they certainly ought to pay the
policy not as they do now-throw il into the
Courts of law settle it by arbitration to the loss
of the party assured Why, l have known cases
where lees than onethird has been received by the
insured party, although had been paying premiums
for years on the face of the policy and when great
corporations arise in midst and try to crush the
people, it is our duty to stand for the interests Of
the people; therefore, hope the bill will pass
