of election reform was made this week
When the full committee authorized a
favorable report to the Senate Of Sem
ator Tlllman's election bill The re-
port was made by Senator Foraker and
the only amendments 70 the bill have
been with view to strengthening and
broadening it. The Tillman bill pro-
hibits all national banks and corpora
tions engaged in interstate and foreign
commerce or organized under the au-
thority Of the federal government from
making any money contribution 10 an
election for any political office Sever
al amendments we're added 10 make
the bin more certain in tone and to give
Il wider scope. They include Prcsi.
Dental electors and state legislatures
IN the provisions Of the bill. The PEN
atty for violation AZ the measure Is a
fne Of not more than s.. go, and there
Is IN addition a provision making the
officers. directors and even stockholders
personally responsible and providing
for q fine Of not more than $1,000 and
term Of imprisonment The measure
s drastic enough and It looks like a
measure that was intended 10 be en-.
forced. The disclosures in the in'ur.
ance Investigation made the demand
/ for such law very insistcHt. This Is
one Of the cases where IL seem, that
the national legislature thought % wa.
a good thing to give the people what
they wanted. Naturally there ha'
been no opposition 10 It from any Of
the corporate interests a. !, Is imply
a provision against legalzei form OF
blackmail

COMMISSIONERS WOLF TALKS

state Insurance Commissioner Myron
E Wolf said yesterday that he be-
lieved that the great growth that Is
bound to come TO San Francisco will
offer a large field for the insurance
business.
companies may take will depend to
some extent upon the nature of the
laws to be adopted by the Legislature
of California relating TO the regulation
of insurance" said Mr.. Wolf IF the
laws are too drastic they will repel the
insurance companies. There is a
scarcity of insurance now; not enough
known. There is a shortage of insur-
ance throughout the United States, and
is not confined exclusively to San
Francisco. The interests Of the city
and OF the fire insurance companies are
in common in some regards.
ITO induce sthe insurers to engage
more largely in business here 1t is nee
essary that better protection against
fires shall be provided" continues Mr.
Wolf. This is well understood and
has been discussed q great DEAL but
the subject is of such great Importance
that neither the facts nor the emer-
gency should be overlooked. Protection
against fire is one of the prime needs
to prombte the growth of San Francisco
in a commercial way. That is too plain
and evident fact to require any argu-
lnent to fix it firmly in the public mind.
The public press cannot call attention
to it too often. We need some legisla-
ton and I shall make certain recon-
mendations to the Legislature at its
next session.
in my opinion San Francisco is do
ing well, but it can do better by pro-
viding safeguards against future con-
hagrations."

Professor Whitney Of the University
of California, making his final estimate
Of the amount of money the people OF
san Francisco have received from the
fire insurance companies in payment OF
the April fire losses, places the amount
at $685. 600.
The enormous loss that San Francisco
experienced in the April holocaust ana
the great aid supplied by good fire in
surance companies in rehabilitation OF
the city have made insurance a leading
theme among men of business There
Is a community of interest between
IRE insurance companies and the cities
and towns where they transact bust
ness. The prosperity OF municipalities
depends upon the assurance that the
underwriters furnish-that relief VIII
be forthcoming after a confiagratlon.
The burned area in this city COM
prises 5000 acres, or about Al square
miles, containing $40 blocks and about
$4,000 buildings. of which about one
half were residences. The amount or
insurance covering property in the
burned district was approximately
$250.o0e, GOO. All of this had been
written by companies authorized to do
business in this State, except about
$6.e00,0o0. which had been placed out

panies. The value of the buildings and

amount being an estimate on the in

Until this month no official statement
has been available of the amount OF

just been compiled. and this includes a
special financial return of assets and

REPoRrs OF ADJUsTERs

IN November I. 1906. the adjust
ment Bureau of the Board of Fire In
derwriters Of the Pacific had practically
completed its work. The settlements
agreed upon through that agency throw
light on the benefits that came to San
Francisco through insurance payments.
Eleven hundred and forty adjusted
claims showed g sound value of the
rroperties involved in these adjust
rnenfs TO have been s12S.059.023. on
which the insurance was SSS.0lS.122
and the visible salvage was estimated
at s1o.ss3.72S. The ratio OF insurance
70 value was therefore 6S-7 per cent
and the salvage was S-S5 per cent This
adjustment included all but twenty
two claims. which were still pending
owing to one cause or another.
professor Whitney OF the adjust
ment bureau said yesterday:
ITO tell OF the brave facing OF the
sffuatfon by some Of the companies,

ssseserents by the stockholders the
euffering caused among the poorer
