Norris Insurance.
Congressman Norris OF the Fifth district
made an exceedingly forcible speech today
on the question of federal control OF insur-
ance and was accorded marked attention
! from both sides of the chamber. As a law
yer Judge Norris argued the question Of
! federal and state control. He contended
that the only way TO govern insurance com
panies was by national supervision, but as
the presidents message questioned the right
of congress to legislate on this question
without a constitutional amendment he
wanted that portion of the presidents mes
sage referring to insurance sent to the COM
mittee on judiciary for a report on the con-
stitutiona right OF congress to legislats.
Should the judiciary committee 1nd that
congress has not the power to legislate.
then he wanted a constitutional amendment
passed at once and submitted to the states
for ratification that the present con-
gress could enact law that would place
insurance companies under federal control
Norris argued that every man who had in
vestigated the question OF federal super
vision had doubts as to the jurisdiction OF
congress to legislate at this time, a doubt
which the president clearly enunciated in
his last message.
