WISHES THEY'D WAIT.
Senator Armstrong Wants other states
to Keep Out of Insurance Case.

Rochester, N. Y. Oct 9.-Senator
Armstrong, chairman of the insurance
Investigating committee, left for. New
York last night on insurance matters.
Before leaving Chairman Armstrong
said:
Il regret very much to see other
states apply drastic remedies in adj
vance of action in this state. Our COM
mittee was appointed to Investigate
conditions in the insurance business
and propose remedial legislation. /
sincerely hope other states will wait
until we have had an opportunity to
complete our work.
These insurance companies are
perfectly solvent and are able to carry
out every contract they have made or
may make. There is no reason for re-
fusing to permit them to continue to
do business. If Nevada proposes to do
one thing. Missouri another, then some
will be a chaotic condition of affairs.
I believe there is due at least the cour-
tesy to New York state to wait until
the investigation is completed and our
remedial legislation is applied.
"Our committee will make the most
thorough investigation possible and
when we are through we shall make it
our business to adopt such legislation
as will safeguard the policyhOlders and
make the insurance business safer and
sounder and more attractive than it
has ever been before.
"Our committee was not appointed
to tear down the insurance business of
the country but to build it UP. We
are simply tearing down some of the
rotten tinbers to get the right founda-
ton on which to build"
