BANKERS AT WORK.
May Find a Way to Stop Proceed
ings Against Insurance Com
panles For a Time,

The Bankers Association in con-
vention at Little Rock, in dealing
with the insurance law just passed
by The late legislature, have passed
a set of resolutions asking the gov
ernor to remit all fines and penal
ties that may accrue against them
in the prosecutions now being made
by the attorney general of the
state.
The bankers ask that this i'm
munity be given the companies UNI
til the courts of the state pass on
the bill, which is now being attack
ed by the companies. The bankers
believe that if the governor will
give this immunity-and it is in his
power to do so-that the insurance
companies will reopen their offices
and carry on business as usual.
The resolutions were taken to
the governors Office and given to
his private secretary, who Informed
them that the governor was out on
a hunt,
The bankers left believing they
had solved the problem and that
the governor would hold up the
penalties in the cases as asked,

probable that construction placed
upon it by the Attorney General
will be knocked higher than "Gilde-
roy's kite" We certinly hope that
the insurance muddle will be at
once settltd, and finally.
