CARROLL URGES
INSURANCE LAWS
STATE AUDITOR ISSUES ANNUAL
REPORT COVERING IOWA
SITUATION
Convinced That FraternaI Beneficiary
Associations Should Be Compelled to
Raise Their Rates to National Nor
tally Table.

Des Moines, Aug. 6.-Audltor of
State Carroll has issued his annual
report covering the life insurance sit
uation in Iowa, but 1t disappoints those
who has expected Iowa to follow New
York, Wisconsin and other states in
developing a sensation relative to this
subject.
Auditor Carroll makes a number of
radical recommendations relative to
life insurance legislation and discloses
considerable interesting information
relative to Iowa companies in advance
of the report of the legislative insur-
ance commission, which will begin to
write the results of its Investigation of
the subject covering the last four
months, about Sept. l.. But nothing
sensational and scandalous is revealed
by the report of the auditor.
Should Advance Rates.
The auditor is profoundly convinced
that fraternal beneficiary associations
should be compelled to advance their
rates to the national fraternal or
American morality tables.
He regards the deferred dividend
policy as bad institution but would
allow companies to reserve contin-
gent surplus of from to 20 per cent,
issuing an annual statement to policy
holders showing the amount and dis
tribution on the books and requiring
the fund to be carried as a constant
liability
He would abolish the discrimination
which exists between what are known
as participating and nonparticipating
policies.
He would require all life insurance
policies to embody the complete and
detailed contract without reference to
any other document or article.
| A law fixing the minimum rate for
assessment insurance would preclude
the necessity of a law eliminating this
claSs of companies.
Publish Statement.
The auditor believes that companies
should be required to publish full an
nual statements, but he does not be.
lieve it wise to require the publication
of the reports of state examination of
the companies, except at the discretion
Of the department.
The auditor would require frequent
accountings by life companies to stop
the practice of making extravagant
estimates, the chief evil in the procure
ment of business.
Vouchers for expenditures amount
ing to more than 500 should be re-
quired of all companies.
Salaries of officers receiving more
than $4,000 should be published an
nually.
i Proxy giving should be stopped.
