SHOULD SUGGEST
 UNIFORM POLICY
MEMBER OF LEGISLATIVE lNSUR- aNcE INVESTIGATION COMMIT TEE DISCUSSES REcoMMENDA- TONS THAT SHOULD BE MADE.

Buffalo, December 17.-Assemblyman Robert Lincoln Cox. one of the members of the legislative insurance Investigating committee tonight in an interview declared that the committee in its recommenda- tions to the legislature should suggest a simple and uniform policy for all com panies doing business in the state, and that the investments of the companies should be restricted so there can be no misuse of funds for the profit of an in dividual officer or stockholder.
 MT. Cox further said 1t was his opinion that the companies should be compelled by law to make dividends annually or every five years, so to prevent the accumula- ton of vast surpluses and that the amount of premiums as well as the salaries of officers should be fixed by a state. law. MT Cox also expressed the opinion that the law demanding the consent of the att torney general before suit can be brought against the insurance companies should be amended so as to make the attorney generals consent unnecessary.
