Badger Insurance Comm ISslon Strikes
MADISON. Wis, July Apparently
State Insurance Commissioner ZenO NJ.
Host does not think very much of the
sO-called "mOdel" insurance laws en-
acted by the New York state legisla-
ture as a result of the investigations
and recommendations of the Arm
strong committee. In his annual report
the advance sheets of which have just
been made public, he says:
Fraud and deception will not only
continue. but will be sanctioned by the
state while the model laws from
which the people hoped so much are
left in a condition to permit, by a
slight amendment, the issuance of the
deferred dividend contract again, just
as soon as the management feel war
ranted by the lethargic memory of the
public"
Commissioner Host gives an ex-
haustive review of the efforts made by
the Wisconsin insurance department
the past 10 years to remedy what he
terms "the one great evil in the insur
ance business" the lack of accounta-
bility. Prior to 1897, he says, when
first was presented a measure requir-
ing an annua appOrtiOnment of sur
plus and a provision prohibiting the
proxy and establishing the policy
holders right to vote directly, either
in person or by mail, there was no
such thing known in Wisconsin as an
insurance lobby. Since then, however,
it has been strenuous and successful.
in part, at least, in its efforts to pre-
vent remedial legislation.
The commissioner presents a draft
of a bill designed to remedy the evils
he points out in his report, and
strongly urges upon the legislature the
adoption of this or a similar measure.

SID KING ALLOWED TO 60
Without Appearing For Trial For
Shooting al Pedestrian.
MARSHAL BROWN WANTED HIS VOTE
CHIEF OF POLICE NEGLECTS TO
FILE CHARGE AGAINST
RESTAURANT COOK.
MARSHAL BROWN WANTED HIS VOTE

That Jerry Brown is not competent
70 he at the head of the Walla Walla
police department is generally con-
/ ceded by the people of Walla Walla.
The records of the city show that
since he has been city marshal he has
permitted many criminals to escape
punishment and has not had the
backbone to enforce the laws. The
latest evidence of Browns weakness
is shown by the action he took in the
case of Sid King, a cook employed at
the Portland restaurant.
Last Thursday night after filling up
on bad whisky and beer, King went
to his room in lodging house on Main
street and without cause or provoca-
ton hurled an empty beer bottle at a
man passing down the Rose street al
ley. He then fired from a revolver two
shots at the pedestrian. The police
heard the commotion and one Of the
OfncorS dTreSlcu NfH6 anu eOOh AAAiiA
to Jail.
When the proprietOrs of the restaurant
learned of the occurrence they went
to Chief Brown and by guaranteeing
a bond of 500 Brown released King
that he might assist in preparing the
breakfast meal at the restaurant the
next morning. King was to appear in
the Justice court yesterday afternoon
but at the appointed time he failed
to nut in an appearance. 1t developed
later that Brown had failed and neg
lected to file a charge against the Of
fender. but allowed him to go without
a trial. There is no record to show
that the bond guaranteed by Kings
emnlovers was morfeited, and it is the
general opinion that Brown was not
oyerzealous in his desire to prosecute
King. as he stood a chance OF losing
his vote at the city elections If ne
brought the man to trial.

oolish Extravagance.

Il feel that the employment of tie
Seattle accountants was foolish piece
of extravaganza and done for no other
purpose than to try and dig up some-
thing against Mayor Hunt" a we'll
known business man said this morning.
There is no doubt in my mind and
in the minds of a good many other
taxpayers that the work could have
been done for one fifth of the money
by Walla Walla accountants just as
we'll qualified as the Seattle experts.
In their zeal to dig up something to
put Mayor Hunt in a hole, these men
wilfully and, 1 might say, maliciously
squandered $500 of the city's money
that might have been put to much bet
ter use in improving the city. would
like to be shown where the city got
its moneys worth and what was
gained by the Boxers, except to hold
up to ridicule their ~vaunted desire
for progress, economy and a squaR
deal. In my estimation the Seattle ex-
perts were the only ones that got a
square deal in this instance. 1t would
not appear so bad on the face of 1t
if it had not been necessary to employ
a local accountant to expert the ex-
perts' report to find where $500 sur
plus in Treasurer Parkz n.1ale.s be-
longed"

attention during his administration.
An instance of this was shown few
weeks ago when Mayor Hunt in a
special message to the council pointed
out the Out-of-date and unsatisfactory
method of keeping the various city ac-
counts and recommended an entire

He especially called attention to the
need of establishing a system in the

Keep Account Check.

There should be a check on the re-
ceiving and disbursing of material in
IL departments so that a correct ac-
counting can be furnished your honor
able body at least twice a year.
Il wish to call your special attention
~ the condition of the water depart
ment improvements are necessary
there; there should be a system of
accounting which will not allow an in
terest charge aggregating about $1,000
to be charged to material account and
separate account should be kept for
the material removed from the ground
and afterwards disposed of.
New System Of Accounts.
"Now what 1 recommend is this:
That if it is not the intention Of the
city to reincorporate and come in under
the laws governing cities of the first
class. that commencing with the next
fiscal year a new system Of accounting
be adopted, authorizing the clerk
through the different committees to
make all purchases and to pay all
bills. All moneys should pass through
his hands. Briefly stated-have one
man who will be responsible to you
for every dollar received, for every
purchase made and for every dollar
expended. If necessary he can be
placed under heavy bonds, he can ap-
point his own assistants, which will
enable him to carry out an up-to-date
system of public accounting"
