on in this State. both by New York State
corporations and by those of other
States doing business within thi.;

members Of the committee will be
named by Speaker Nixon within the
next day of two.
The institution of the committee
followed hard upon n message OF Gov.
ernor Higgins to the legislature. which
came MS complete surprise.
Effect Was Sensational.
The message was received in the
senate after the conclusion OF the
Hooker case. and was not read in the
assembly until later afternoon session.
Its effect may be described us sell
sa.ional i
islature TO the insurance matter, the
governor in his message said:
Legislation is no panacca for the
ills Of the body polite that rise from
a disordcred moral sense. The null
duplication of penal statutes does not
diminish the spirit Of lawIcssncss, but
is rather symptom of its growth.
But is is apparent that our inurance
law is,in some particulars, obsolcscent
and Inadequate and that the manage
ment Of the funds Of these great COM
panics is not sufficiently safcguardcd."
The governor, therefore, recon-
mends an investigation of the opera
tions Of life insurance companies for
the purpose of preparing legislation
ITO compel life Insurance companies ~
conduct safe, honest an open bust
ness for the benefit OF their policy
holders"
The Armstrong Resolution.
Senator Armstrong introduced Il re-
solution providing for the appointment
of joint committee to invcstigat C
and examine into the business and
affairs of life insurance companies do
ing business in the state Of New York
with reference to the investments Of
said companies, the relations of the
officers thereof to such Investments
the relations of such companies &c

the contractual relations of said com

companies and any other phases q

be proper, for the purpose of drnft!n,
and reporting to the next session o
