THE BOND IS LIABLE
What Auditor Monroe Says
of the Live Stock InSur-
ance Failure.
THE FAILURE MAY BE TRACED
TO cALSES, HE
SAYS.
Too Low Rate and Too High Ex-
Too Low Rate and Too High Ex-
pense in the Management of
the Company
LAW NOT STRICT WITH MUTUALS

State Auditor 7. c. Monroe was
asked what he had to say about the
failure of the Arkansas Live Stock
Insurance company, says the Little
Rock Democrat He replied
THE failure may be traced to two
causes-too low a rate AMI too high
expense in it's management.
The last statement filed here by
the company showed that on July
its tssets were $5S, ,4S6.3S and liabili
ties s55.244.93. showing surplus of So,
241.45. The statement also showed
cash income to be S4S,544.31, and that
only $6,451.S1 of the sum
had been paid to policy
holders, while $41.53O.67 had been
paid to officers. clerks. agents and
other persons. This expense account
is enormous. This expense account
was published in the newspapers as
soon as it was filed, for the purpose Of
informing the public. Learning soon
after the company started that the
| managers proposed to use - per cent
of the receipts for expenses | notified
them that | would publish said proposi-
ton if they did not set aside SO per
cent of their premium receipts to pre-
tect policies. They then filed in this
Office an agreement to use only so per
cent of receipts for expenses. setting
aside so per cent as a reserve fund to
mature their policies. They have vio-
lated this agreement using policy
holders funds for expenses. | believe
their bond under these circumstances
may be liable for such funds as the
officers may have WrOngfully used in
the conduct of it's affairs. I wish to
state that our law in reference to mu
tual companies is practically worth
less. The bond of this company, like
that of all our other mutual COM,
panies, is a guarantee only of the
fidelity of the officers of the company,
and is of little value to the policy hold
ers The law should require these
bonds to be either straight idemnity or
require no bond, for the auditors Ger
tificate under the present law is mis-
leading. where it ceritfes that the
company has on file a bond for 500.
600. hope the next legislature will
amend this law. There is no reason
why mutual company should not
succeed. if conducted on the right
principles, but when company pays
81 for expenses and 81 for losses it
cannot be said that the mutuality of
the company extends beyond the man
agement."

Moves to Pine Bluff.

Bainbridge people generally will be
-sCrry to learn of the removal Of Mr..
Bennett to Pine Bluff, Ark Mr. Ben
nett ha sheen a citizen of our town

is indeed fortunate to gain such
citizen. He will be accompanied by
his wife and little daughter, Pauline,
and also Mrs. Pohlman who will make
her home with them. 1t will be a dis

Levi MvCollum, the aggrieved faith
er, was seen also. In reply to the re-
porters question as to why he had
not made an effort soon to have his
daughter released he said that the
conditions on Burris' place had been
misrepresented to him. He met Bur
ris one day in Pine Bluff and asked
about his daughter.
"Burris," he said told me that my
daughter was doing we'll and was en-
gagged to marry his son. Being perfect
ly satisfied with that arrangement,
| thought nothing more of the matter
until recently I heard that different
conditions existed. then had my
other daughter go down there and her
account of my daughter led me to
swear out warrant against Burris.
Burris was seen, and when given an
opportunity to make a statement, was
rather non communicative. He ad-
mite that he paid the nes of women
to get them to work on his place, but
declared that he paid them so much
per day to work for him. Further
than this he would say nothing.
The states attorney is determined
to sift the case to the very bottom.
An attorney has been engaged by
Burris and both sides are preparing to
make hard legal fight.
B1lrris has been placed under bond
of $500 which he has furnished for his
appearance Friday morning.
