IN INSURANCE DEALS
Committee Bill viii Prevent
Discrimination Against
NonuniOn Agents

The special insurance investigating
committee of the house last night
agreed to the terms of bill of impor
lance to the insured of Minnesota 1t
will be introduced in the house today
by the committee.
legged determinations by insurance
companies against the agents of nom
union companies, and il will provide
tax of one-quarter of i per cent on
the premiums written in Minnesota to
carry out its provisions.
The bill will declare it unlawful for
any insurance company to discriminate
between the rates charged on risks of
similar. character, taking into consid-
Grafton the fire protection and water
works in the various towns.
The companies are prohibited from
discriminating in the commissions
paid agents of exclusively union COM
panies, over commissions paid agents
who represent union and nonunion
companies. 1t is alleged that in the
past strictly union agents have, re-
ceived 25 per cent commissions, where
as agents representing both classes of
companies have received but 10 per
cent.
Complaints of determinations in
rates or unjust rates are to be referred
to the state insurance commissioner,
he is to refer the facts to the attorney
general, who is to carry the matter to
the courts for an adjudication. The
penalty for the first offense is $500,
and on a second conviction the license
OF the offending company may be re-
voked.
A state fire marshal, such as is pro-
vided in the Rosenthal bill, is created
by the committee bill. He is to in
vestigate the origin of supposed in
cendiary fires, and is also to investi-
gate complaints of rates and report his
findings to the insurance commission
er. The imposition of the one-quarter
of 1 per cent to carry out the terms
of the bill will create a fund of about
$4,000 annually, and this is to put the
proposed law into effect in the state
The committee will make a final re-
port to the legislature, but it's findings
are included in the committee bill to
be introduced TODAY

GOOD ROADS BILL IS
WELL ON ITS WAY
HOnse Recommends Measure
to Pass Without Any
Opposition

The house has recommended good
roads" bill to pass. The committee bill,
on which the roads and bridges COM
mittees of both houses have spent
weeks, went through the committee of
the whole yesterday without opposition
and it will have an easy passage on the
calendar. Representative Ole Peterson
of Nicollet, father OF the good roads
movement in the house. made a speech
in favor Of the bill. He said IL was the
result of an agitation in progress since
1898, and While the amount OF money
carried by 1t was not so large as many
could wish, it would prove a good be-
ginning.
The bill provides for the appointment
of a board of three commissioners, to be
named from as many congressional dis
tricts by the governor, and a secretary
of the board at $500 a year, who shall
be a civil engineer and practical road
builder. One-twentieth of a mill on
the taxable property of the state Is to
be levied for expenditure by the board
An appropriation of $4,000 is made for
the maintenance Of the board. No
county shall receive more than or less
than one-half of 1 per cent of the fund
in any one year.
Among the other bills recommended
making a maximum charge of 20 cents
for any ten word telegraph message
within the state, and the bill for the
creation of state tax commission; the
Kinds bill, providing for the separate
taxation of mining rights held indie
pendent of rights in the surface of
lands and permitting their sale for
taxes; the Ramsey county good roads
bill: the Putnam bill, creating a de-
partment of pedagogy in the state uni
versity; the Zelch bill, relating to the
revolving fund of the state prison: the
Flower bill, for the redistricting Of the
thirty sixth legislative district; and
the Nolan bill. requiring the use of
asbestos curtains in theaters having
seating capacities of over 500 people.
Churches will be forbidden to take up
collections to help worthy political can
didates in Minnesota. DR.. ]. II. Dorsey's
bill, prohibiting corporations from
making contributions to political candi-
dates and campaigns, was recommend
ed TO pass in the house yesterday. A.
]. Rockne called attention to the fact
that nearly all churches were corpora
tons and the Dorsey bill, which makes
no distinction In the nature of the cor
porations, forbids them from making
contributions to campaign funds.
"I have known many collections to be
taken up to aid worthy political candi-
dates" said Mr.. Rockne, but DR.. Dor
seys bill makes 1t Illegal"
II don't care" the Glencoe DOCTOR
legislator replied, 1.-The churches have
no more right to make political con-
tributions than the head OF any big in
dustrial corporation" The bill had no
opposition on the floor.

A. c. Weiss, publisher of the Duluth
Herald, is at the head of a delegation
of prominent Quluthians who reached

cure a reversal of the action of the
commissioners and a location for the
best interests for the city and county.

ROWE FAV0RS RAISE
Says Salary Increase Would
Make Honest Aldermen

Alvin Rowe representative in the
legislature from the Eighth ward, made
a plea before the Ramsey delegation
yesterday for favorable recommends
ton for his bill placing aldermen of ST.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth on a
salary of $1,000 annually.
Minneapolis will not object" said
Mr.. Bowe in opening the discussion.
Duluth only pays $500 to its alder
men and think we strike a snag there"
IF these aldermen want $1,000 a
year." John F. Selb said, "let them pro-
pose an amendment to the charter and
make ii an issue. We've got enough
chestnuts to pull out of the fire"
But as a rule it would be a good
deal harder to get the raise through
the charter than in the legislature, -
MIR. Rowe responded with charming
candor. Il hear a great howl on the
streets that our aldermen are really
not honest. / say give them $1,000 a
year and then they will be square"
James Handlan suggested that he
favored giving the aldermen 500 a
month, but would make them street
commissioners for their wards. This
brought protest from Mr.. Selb.
why, the Seventh ward has three or
four assemblSmen," he declared. II
know men in my ward that would
jump off the high bridge If they saw
these fellows getting away with 500
a month. / make a motion that we
vote to give the aldermen a chance to
bring the proposed raise in salaries be-
fore the people" Mr.. Selb looked in
nocently in the direction of the Eighth
ward legislator. 1t took.
I'm willing to give them that" Mr..
Rowe responded.
Henry McColi, one of the Demo-
Gratis on the delegation, attempted to
discuss the proposition seriously. He
said that the aldermen who now re-
ceive but 500 a year were entitled to
much more than that amount.
The bill was referred to Mr.. Rowe to
hold while he does missionary work
with the Hennepin and st. Louis dele
cations. He will have to do some work
with his own delegation before the bill
will be favorably recommended.

/ WORK OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE /
JOHNSON REFUSES TO
EXCUSE DUNN'S ACTS
Former Examiner Repeats Set
Elements We're Made With
out Legal Warrant

S. T. Johnson, former public examin-
er, spent another afternoon with the
house committee on public accounts
and expenditures yesterday. The COM
mittee will not meet again until
Thursday, and it is more than half ex-
pected that the inquiry by the commit
tee as to Johnson's findings in the state
auditors Office will be closed at that
time.
A determined effort was made by
members of the committee yesterday
just before the adjournment for the
day to secure an admission from john
son that Dunn's settlements with tim
Der trespassers had been in the inter-
est of the state. The former public
examiner said that was a conclusion
he would not admit. Then he was
asked if his criticisms of the auditors
office had not been confined to pointing
out transactions in which the state had
not actually lost money. He replied
that his criticisms were entirely based
on the records and he had never con-
tended that either the present auditor
or his predecessor had profited by the
settlements
johnson Piled With Questions
The lawyer members of the commit
tee piled Johnson with questions calcu-
lated to secure an admission that Dunn
and Iverson had acted for the best in
terests Of the state. He replied in
variably that. their acts had been out
side legal warrant and as such il was
his duty as public examiner to call the
facts to the attention Of the governor
He also denied that he had ever given
the press the results of his investiga-
tions
B. H. Jefferson Of Cottonwood created
a diversion by asking for the results Of
the work of the two expert accountants
of the committee. He said that where
they had found that Johnson's criti-
ciSmS did not bear out the facts In the
auditors office it was their duty to re-
port them to the committee. Mr.. JEFF
ferson's inference was that the experts
had been remiss in their duty.
Chairman P. E. Bowling defended
the clerks and declared that they had
done vast amount Of work in a short
time. He said they had practically
completed an investigation Of the ac-
counts Of the public examiners office
and the state board Of control.
Stenographer Works for Auditor
A. NJ. Hayes of Hastings discovered
yesterday that the stenographer taking
the evidence for the committee is AN
employe of State Auditor Iverson. Mr..
Johnson settled the trouble by saying
that he would not object to Mr.. Iver-
sons man taking the testimony
During the hearing yesterday, Mr..
Iverson spoke to question of personal
privilege. He said that it had been
enormously reported that he had Sc
cured the introduction Of the Arm
strong bill in the house, legalizing the
BackuS- Brooks and other lurnher pOn1-
pany settlements for lands in Itasca
county. He denied any interest in the
bill. 1t is current talk about the capt.
tol that Gov. Johnson will veto this bill
if 1T is passed and comes to him for his
signature.
