AS TO INSURANCE REBATES
Deputy Bryant Says the Laws Need Amend
ment on This Point.

FG!;.

LINCOLN, Dec. Especial. deputy In
surance Commissioner Bryant has received
many inquiries recently as to whether there
Is some way OF preventing insurance agents
from rebating or reducing premiums on
life insurance policies. This point was
raised in the case OF the Indiana State Life
Insurance company, tried before the in
surance commission several months, 1t being
argued that rebating destroyed the mu-
tuality Of an insurance company. In some
states there are stringent laws on this sub
ject, but there appears to be no provision
in the Nebraska statutes prohibiting in
surance agents from offering cut rates to
insurers. Speaking of this, Deputy Com
missioner Bryant today said:
Il think the insurance laws of the state
need amendment. In regard TO the anti
rebate law the only objection see to it
is that it is hard to frame such a law that
cannot be evaded. 1t is something like laws
against gambling. No country and no age
ever framed a law that was successful in
preventing gambling. am, however op-
posed to rcbating and it would be the proud
est moment Of my life to frame such law
that would be efIicacious."

ROlln Case AEain.

Attorney General Smyth left today for
Washington, where he will represent the
state in the case OF Henry Bolln, the de-
faulting treasurer OF the city of Omaha.
One OF the contentious of the attorneys for
Bolln is that the county attorney of Doug
las county had no right to prosecute him
until grand jury had been called and a
true bill rendered.
The application of exClerk Elias Baker
for the appointment of a receiver for the
estates of Sam e. Low and Joseph H. NAL
lalieu, both of whom acted as clerk Of the
district court after the expiration Of Mr..
Bakers term, will be considered by the
court next week and it is expected that
there will be some sensational developments
in the case. Sam E. Low was elected as
successor to Elias Baker four years ago
and upon his death several months ago 10
seph Mallalieu, then acting as deputy, was
appointed to fill the position. He also died
and Charles E. Boettcher was subsequently
appointed. The action begun by Baker is
really in connection with the Mallai eu
estate, although the legal forms require the
bringing in of the Low estate to settle the
question of liability. Mr.. Baker alleges
that Mallalieu neglected to turn over to him
certain fees that he was entitled to. He
proposes to probe the matter to the bottom
and find out to a certainty what became OF
his money.
