COURTS ARE LEFT ALONE
COMMITTEE FIXES CODE so AS TO
+, BE IMPERATIVE AGAINST MU-
NICIPAL COURTS.

The house Judiciary committee has
amended the municipal court act SO as
to remove all the objections from the
cities. The committee amendments
make the new law applicable only to
new courts organized hereafter, or in
case the city council shall elect to or
ganize under the new law. Courts al
ready organized are not touched. In
place of section 81 Of the chapter on
Judiciary, the committee has substituted
the following:
Section 54.-Existing Courts Confirmed.
The several municipal courts organized
and in the actual exercise of their functions
at the time when the revised laws shall
take effect are hereby confirmed, and the
jurisdiction thereof. the practice and pro-
cedure therein,4 the tenure and cempensa-

Rockne's Life Insurance Plan.

), AL Rockne of Zumbrota presented
a bill relating to the organization Of
life insurance companies which is revo-
lutionary in many respects. 1t amends
the so-called stipulated premium law SO
as to meet many objections. 1t is I'M
derstood that the BEL has the indorse:
ment of the insurance commissioner. It
repeats the law giving the directors Of
insurance companies authority to re-
insure all kinds of other concerns with
out consulting their spolicyholders. The
present law fails. to prevent the pay
ment Of commissions on reinsurance,
thereby creating opportunities for
"graft.''
This feature is thoroly covered in the
proposed law. The present Jaw has also
been construed as giving the directors
the right to vote liens on policies with
out the consent Of the insured and to
permit officers to profit personally on
the purchase and sale Of securitiese or
lands. It-also provides that companies
cannot be placedi in hands Of a receiver
until they are impaired at least rs per
cent. In the proposed measure an in
surance company must be shown 100
per cent strong, all the time, and the
officers and directors are not permitted
to have any opportunitie $for personal
speculation. (,
