James M. Beck, formerly assistant
attorney-general Of the United States,
advocates federal regulation Of life in
suranee. Mr.. Beck points out that
to Alexander Hamilton and his con.
temporaries the regulation Of all forms
Of insurance was a familiar exercise
Of governmental power. In spite Of
this fact and of the immense growth
Of insurance during the nineteenth
century, there was no federal legisla.
tion regarding insurance until 1908,
when the department Of m and
labor was created by an act the terms
of which imply that insurance may
be o part Of interstate or foreign com.
merce. Mr.. Beck lays emphasis upon
certain peculiar reasons why insurance
should be submitted TO strict govern
mental supervision; its success de-
ponds upon a multiplicity Of contracts
90 that It is impossible for the policy
holder to exercise any but an indirect
control over the affairs Of the com
pany. Many Of the contracts, more
over, are conditioned upon the death
Of one Of the parties, and the state
ought to supervise the execution Of the
contract by the surviving party. As
a matter Of fact, the United States
is the only government in which the
power Of supervising insurance is de-
centralized. It is probable that fed
eral regulation Of insurance would
have been effected before now but for
the decision Of the supreme court in a
certain Ease that insurance contracts
are not interstate transactions, though
the parties may be domiciled in DIFF.
ferent states. This decision Mr.. Beck
severely criticises, and he argues that

the decision Of the same tribunal that

As long ago as 1852, the New York
Association Improving the Condition
Of the Poor spent $4,000 in e%auippinQ
a public bath for working people in
Mott street, near Grand street. This
charity iOurished for 10 years aud was
then discontinued. Nothing was done
until 1870, when the city constructed
two floating baths and added to these
until the 10 were in commission in
1885. II was not until 1890 that pub
lie attention was called to the pressing
need for all-the-year-round conven.
fences, as a result Of investigations
made of living conditions in the slums.
DR.. Simon Baruch, who had studied
the lourishing public bath system Of
Germany, was the leader Of the new
movement. He made public agitation
of such plans, and largely through his
efforts, private funds were supplied to
build the Peoples Bath in Center
street which was an impressive popu.
lar success. Shortly after that, the
trustees Of the Baron Hirsch fund
opened'a bath in the heart Of the down.

In 1895 the agitation triumphed in
the passage Of a state law which pro

second class should maintain such mum.
bers of free public baths as the local
boards of health should deem neees-
sary.
Three years passed before New
York awoke to the demand for action
on this legislation. Then n most i'm.
pressive mass meeting was held in the
University Settlement in Rivington
street Of East Side residents who
clamored TO be clean. Resolutions
were adopted, and pushed by civic or
