THE INSURANCE LAW
Two Important Changes to
Be Made in 1t.
Purpose of the Craig Law Can Be Accom-
plished in Another Way. BE
neyoIent" Companies.

The Legislature that meets here next
cradle change in the insurance laws OF
the State.
If Insurance. Commissioner Young's re-
concentrations are carried out the pres
ent law, though most excellent one, will
be amended in two particulars
/. The Craig law will be expressly de-
clared inapplicable to insurance com
panies. but its purpose will be accom-
plished by a provision to the effect that
the removal of case from State to Fed
eral court by an insurance company may
be sufficient cause for the Commissioner
cancelling that company's license in the
State and refusing future renewal of the
same g.
2. Benevolent" and mutual" insur-
ance companies will be put under practi-
cally the same rules and regulations as
other regular companies-p3ying the same
taxes and complying with the same rules
as to condition and standing. There has
recently sprung up very great num-
Der of these companies and considerable
complaint is made of their method OF
doing business and failure to settle poll
cies that are due.
Commissioner Young is now investigat-
ing some of these complaints.
Though some benevolent" and ''mu-
tual'' companies have good records, there
are others that do not come under this
head. and to prevent their preying on tho
people it is deemed we'll to have more
stringent legislation. Such will do the
good companies no harm, and it will keeI
out Of the State the bad ones.
