intendent of insurance Assistant Attor-
ney-General Allen has written an opin-
ion in which he holds that, as the su-

effected and if one exists the licenses
of such companies as are parties to the
combines should be revoked. The at
torney-general says that agents of for
eign insurance companies are under
instruction of the principals, and have
and the principals should be dealt with,
and he declares it as much the duty of
the superintendent of insurance to en-
force this law against foreign or nom
resident insurance companies as it is to
enforce any Other law upon the statute
books relating to insurance or insur-
ance companies.
