OPINIONS ON INSURANCE.
Gen. Childs Furnishes the Departs
ment With Two More.

Gen. Childs Furnishes the Depart-
ment with Two More.
Attorney General Childs has supported
the position taken by Deputy State In
surance Commissioner Lightbourn in re-
gard to the movement for the estblish-
ment of mutual insurance company
in Minneapolis. One K. KnuetSon has
been soliciting insurance in various To-
calities, representing that an effort is
on foot to secure cheaper insurance, and
securing applications for insurance
without having any company named.
The proposition is, It Is understood, to
use these applications as part Of the
800 different applications, for $750,000
insurance, which the law requires as
preliminary to the licensing of a mutual
insurance company under the laws of
the state. While not positively inter
preting the Knuetson scheme as a vio-
lation of the law, Mr.. Childs suggests
to the insurance department that it in
sist on applications being made out to
a company, as otherwise there might
result serious dissatisfaction in the fu-
ture.
The other ruling is in regard to the
Equitable Accident Adjustment COM
pany, of Chicago, which offers for a
stipulated sum per year to adjust any
possible losses covered by fire. life or
accident policies. Mr.. Childs, after look
ing over the contracts and other litera-
ture Of the company, decides that in
