Will Enforce the Law.
State Commissioner Mcbride q few
days ago sent out a circular letter to all
insurance companies licensed to do bus.
mess in Kansas, directing their atten.
ton to the fact that the law was being
violated extensively ty the agents of
the companies in Kansas City, Mo-, who
persisted in writing policies on Kansas
risks. While there is no way by which
the law can reach unlicensed companies
that do business in Kansas through
Missouri agents, licensed companies
who permit it may have their licenses
revoked.
The first batch of replies to these
circular letters have been received by
the commissioner. The companies whose
agents are known to be violating the
law disclaim all knowledge Of it almost
without exception. The insurance COM
missioner reminds the companies that
the fact that an agent is resident in
Kansas and transacts his insurance
business in another state does not quail
lfy him to be licensed. The law pro-
vides that if any fire insurance agent
authorized to transact business in Kan.
sas has permitted any agent of other
states to procure or issue policies on
property in the state of Kansas, the
su oerintendent shall Immediately inves-
tigate the business done by such COM
pany, and il the company has violated
the law the superintendent of insurance
shall revoke the authority of the com.
pany and refuse to re-license it for ono
year.
Secretary Mcbride says it is his in
tention to enforce this provision in the
insurance law to the letter, and that if
any company which he has notified to
obey tho law violates it he will promptly
revoke the license of the offender.
