Albany, N. Y, Feb. 22.-The report
of the legislative committee was pre-
sented to the legislature today. 1t en-
bodies drastic remedial legislation de-
signed to correct the abuses the in
vestigation uncovered. The report
contains a digest of the findings of the
committee regarding three big com
panies and several little concerns. The
measures advocated by the committee
tend to the establishment of the life
life insurance business more securely.
The report covers a printed pamphlet
of 800 pages. 1t declares that many
new laws must be passed to secure
safety in life insurance.
Need of New Laws.
The matters for which the commit
tee wants new laws or amendments
are: The rights of policyholders in
the election of directors; character of
investments and syndicate; limitations
on new business; f%orbidding political
contributions and lobbying; setting time
limit on running expenses; a~bolishing
rebates; fixing surrender values n
surplus and distributing the latter:
providing for publicity and state super
vision, and making all policies uni
form. The committee makes no recon-
mendation regarding fraternal insur.
ance as it did not investigate it.
Move Against Proxies.
To counterfeit the present system OF
the officials of the insurance company
gathering all proxies, the committee
urges a law which requires that five

Among the university notes in the
Melange is the following Of special
interest: The normal department of
the university, under the direction Of
DR.. ]. F. Brown, has introduced a new
Feature into the instruction. Prof.
Brown has written to different publish
ing houses, asking them if they cared
to send samples of their textbooks for
the normal library. These books are
catalogued and placed in the library
and are examined by the normal stud,
ents under direction. The book firms
have responded generously. By this
means the students are enabled to learn
what books are on the market and also
to become acquainted with the methods
used by the different authors, so that
when they go out to teach they will be
able to make a wise selection of text
books for the schools"
