THE CONTROL Of

CuSS Question.
TIE. DRAKE SOUNDS KEYNOTE.
Some Apprehension Felt Lest State
Legislatures Adopt Too Dras-
tic Measures.

Chicago, Feb. More than 100 state
officials including governors. COM
missioners Of insurance, attorneys gem
eral and representatives Of insurance
companies were present at the opening
session today of the national conven-
ton called to discuss measures of con-
troll Of insurance companies in the va
rlous states.
Thomas f.. Drake, insurance commits
sioner Of the District OF Columbia, pre-
sided at the opening and called the, con-
vention to order. His remarks were as
follows.
The exposure OF some Of the meth
DDS Of some OF the life insurance COM
panies by the committee OF the legis-
lature OF the state of New York, which
so clearly demonstrated the urgent me-
cessity for better insurance laws
throughout the country was the prlnci-
pal reason for calling together the gov
ernors, attorneys general, insurance
commissioners and others Of 10 many
states and the attorneys. The meeting,
however, is the direct result OF CORE
spondence begun last November by
Gov. johnson OF Minnesota, with the
pItSlutHl Oh the 1 ulltu states, III was
felt that in the general prevailing ex-
element and deep feeling smonst poll
icyholdrs and the public In general
there was great danger that the va
rious legislatures about to convene
might adopt drastic measures which
would not only be unreasonably bur-
densome and harmful to insurance
companies, but also injurious to poll
cyholders.
After full consideration the follow
ing plan was agreed upon, and which
has the approval Of the president and
the commissioners of the District Of
Columbia, but which the necessary
changes in form to make It applicable
may be enacted by the states and ter
ritories thus making uniform regula-
ton Of insurance and avoiding the vex-
atious and costly burden incident to
differing and often conflicting local
legislation.
This meeting IL considered one OF
the most important that has ever taxi
en- place In the interests Of insurance
Let us therefore he exceedingly careful
IN the preparation of the proposed uni
form bill to administer justice and
fairness to the companies and at the
same time erect enduring safeguards
for the pOlicyholders.'
