THE INSURANCE SCANDALS

Right on top of the scandalnvolv-
inc the New York Life Insurance
Company in campaign contributions
comes the information that the
Mutual Life of New York, looked
upon as the most reliable OF all com
panies. has also been guilty OF using
it's policy holders money to advance
the interests OF the Republicanparty.
The Equitable's officers, who have
been guilty of so many other acts OF
wrong doing, have in all probability
been likewise guilty of making these
contributions, and the same is prob
ably true of many of the other large
insurance corporations. The contri-
buttons OF the Mutual life so far dis
covered are small in compassionate
those ole the New. York Life, but the
principle is Just the same and its
officer or officers who made the con-
tributions are just as guilty as Is
John A. Mccall, the president OF the
New York Life. But all this expos
ure of corrupt and illegal acts on the
part of the officials of these big in
surance companies is bound to have
it's effect. Already the Equitable Life
has been purged of its guilty officers
by Paul Morton, and now comes the
announcement from Nevada that so
long as Mccall and Perkins admins
ter the affairs of the New York Life,
Just so long shall that company be
refused permission to do business III
that State. The insurance commits
sioner of Missouri WILL it is annOunc-
ed, follow the Nevada plan, and it
will doubtless be adopted in enough
other States to force the resignation
OF Mccall and Perkins, even in the
event that they escape criminalpros-
ecution in New York. The scandals
involving these companies will, no
doubt, result in some steps being
taken in this State to provide for an
insurance commissioner or some sim
liar official to look after theinterests
and rights of the thousands and
thousands OF Virginia policy holders.
1t will result further in the future
clean management of these big cor
poratiOns and more careful regard
for the interests of the people, who
are vitality concerned.
