WANT OTHER STATES
TO REMAIN SILENT
New York Officials Say They
Can Handle Insurance Case.
REGRET ACTION OF MtssoURIAN
Chairman of investigation Committee
of Empire State Believes that They
Will Be Able to Remedy All Troubles
of Companies.

Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 9.-Senator
Armstrong, chairman of the insurance
investigating committee, left for New
YORK last night on insurance matters
The following statement was issued by
Mr.. Armstrong:
= regret very much to see other
| states apply drastic measures in in ad-
vance OF any action in this state
Our committee was appointed to inyes.
tlgate conditions in the insurance bus
mess and propose remedial legislation.
L sincerely hope other states will wait
untll we have nad an opportunity to
complete our work
The insurance companies are per.
fectly solvent and are able to carry out
every contract they have made or NAV
make. There is no reason for refus-
ing to permit them to continue doing
business. If Nevada proposes to do
one thing, Missouri another thing and
some other state still another thing.
there Will be chaotic condition of af
falrs. believe there is due at leas
the courtesy to New York state to wait
until the investigation is complete and
our remedial legislation applied.
Our committee will have the most
thorough investigation possible and
when we are through we shall make
1t our business to adopt such legisla,
ton as will safeguard the policyholders
and make the insurance business safe
and sounder and more attractive than
IL has ever been before II other
states jump in before we can complete
our work, or can adopt any legisla-
ton, everything will be confusion in
the Insurance business OF the country.
Another point:
When number Of western insur-
ance commissioners were in New
York recently we had a conference
with them, and we promised to submit
to them for their suggestions what rem
ed1al legislation it was proposed to
adopt In this way we hope to secure
uniform action in all the states. It is
not right for other states to take ac
ton after our committee has been at
work only four weeks and long before
we have reached the end of our inves,
tigation. Amy action they might take
at this time would be premature.
Our commission was not appointed
to tear down the insurance business
or the country but to build it up. We
are simply tearing down some of the
rotten timbers to get he right founda-
ton on which to build. We are trying
to Go this work man fashion, thorough
ly and conscientiously. 1t is not a
pleasant task at best, but we are not
lodging and shall not dodge any re-
sponsibility. The insurance body is
sound. but it is afflicted with some ul-
GERS We are performing a surgical
operation for the removal of ulcers
from this body, not trying to kill the
Insurance body, because we have dis
covered some rottenness, it is not right
for outside states to cripple the insur-
ance business and handicap our eff
forts"
