ton of the different classes of members
it was necessary to impose Il lien upon
the policies of the old members to put
them upon the same footing with the
new membership and to do away with
assessments in the future. This matter
was discussed before the Insurance Com
missioner, and it is subject of surprise
to me that he has reached IN adverse
conclusion. The hearing was held in
September, and the Commissioners sill
ence thus long led me to the conclusion
that he had adopted the company's view.
The cas-. which he citcs--a person
named Buckman-was that of quite an

"VlRTUAL CONVERSATION"

| can scarcely believe that if Mr.. Buck
man or the other policy holders had
understood in the beginning that they
would hr subjected to such numerous in
creased assessments, and that You claim
cd the right to place upon each policy Il
lien amountin" 10 nearly onr-half th"
face value of the policy. they would
have secured insurance in your company.
These largely increased assessments. and
the laying of this large lien. is Il virtual
contiscation of the policy. In doing this
YOU claim to be acting within your legal
rights. This may be true. | do not
undertake. to settle that question. /,
seems clear to me. however. that Il COM
pany whose financial condition requires
such action to be taken is one that | can
very well afford to say shall not do bust
ness in this state. You have Il number
of old policy holders who have been pay
in" their money into your treasury for
some twenty years. and now. when they
are too old to secure insurance anywhere
else. YOU jump their assessments to
nearly six times what they were origin
ally, and, in addition to that, levy addi-
tional assessments and lay Il lien on their
policies of nearly ouc-half its face value.
This action upon your part has had the
effect of forcing out your old policy
holders. who find themselves unable in
their old age to bear such heavy bur
dcns. The money they have paid in,
with the idea that they were protecting
their families and laying by something
that would help them in the event of
death, is thus swept away and lost to
th"m forever.

Truckee that Brown was there and could
be arrested il be was wanted bad enough
for a reward to be paid. MI. Mccoy
wired Sheriff Watt OF Lander county If
he wanted Brown and il there was a re-
ward. Deputy Sheriff Murphy answered
Yes, il handy. No reward. See Cattle

stable at Truckee to wait until he heard
further from him. After consulting with
