In regard to assessment insurance,
the commissioner says: THE methods
practiced by the assessment companies
have advanced by such rapid strides
during the past few years that our
laws regulating these associations are

of insurance at stated periods in adj
vance, reserving the right to call addi-
tional assessments if their estimate
proves insufficient to meet the losses
and expenses of the company-thus
substituting the advance payment
for the after death or 'post-mortem'
method practiced when the present law
was enacted Some companies are ad-
vertising policies promising cash
surrender and paid up values at the
end of certain periods. Corporations
issuing such policies should be required
by law to maintain a reserve sufficient
to meet said contracts at maturity, and
tho ctatI,ta should reu,,ire all com
panies to specify a definite amount to
be paid upon the happenings of the
contingency insured against. and the
contract should also provide, plainly,
that additional assessments may be
| levied.
THE Reserve or Emergency fund
required by our law from foreign COM
panies often becomes insufficient to

| modified to meet existing conditions.
