under the laws of the state, and possi-
bly, gives rise to the inference that the
standard of solvency of these compan-
les, as regards reserves, premium rates
ETC.. is somewhat lax. This is not true.
The standard of solvency as regards
not only premium r-tes, but also re-
serve accommodations, is equally as
stringent as that of the laws of other
states, and as far as l am aware, the
companies as whole, with one or two
notable exceptions, are honestly and
properly conducted in the interests of
the policy holders.
Mr.. Curtis was in error in quoting
me as saying that none of the Iowa
companies charge sufficient premium
rate. l simply had reference, when
making this statement, to mutual as
sessment companies and fraternal So
cieties.
1T is certainly due, as a matter of
justice to the Iowa companies in gem
eral, at least those operating upon the
old line or legal reserve plan, to state
that as far as the records of this de-
partment go to show. they are hnan-
cially solvent, and are charging SUI
ficient premium rate. and accumulate
sufficient reserve to fulfill the terms
of the contracts upon their certain ma
turity. Certain companies, however,
which are writing these so-called ten
year bond contracts-which are bound
to prove so disappointing to the policy
holders upon the maturity of the same
will have plenty of trouble when the
contracts commence to mature.

Part of His Alleged Interview.

Des Moines, July 30,-A recent issue
of the st. Paul Dispatch contains a
long communication from Commissions
err Dearth, of the Minnesota insurance
department, in which he sets forth
eight or ten specific statements of Cur
it's which quote him falsely. Dearth
shows clearly that Curtis got hopeless
ly mixed in his insurance article and
had no grounds for crtcizing the Iowa
insurance laws. What Dearth did saw
was to condemn the gold bond COM
panies, which the T.-R editor has aptly
termed gold brick" insurance, but he
recognizes many other good and reput-
able companies in Iowa.
He says in part:
The most grievous error Mr. Curtis
makes is in adjudging all the Iowa
companies as financially unsound
"The facts are. that as far as | am
aware, the so-called old line or legal
reserve life insurance companies, or
ganized under the laws of the state of
Iowa, are sound financially, as certainly
the laws of the state require as high a
standard of solvency as those of any
other Of the various states. The prin-
cipal weak point in the Iowa law is
that provision which permits the or
ganization of a life insurance COM
pauy, transacting business upon the
So called legal reserve plan, by simply
paving in a cash capital stock of $25,-
600. This probably accounts for the

got large sum OF money from his
second wife, who died there under sus-
