Insurance Men Meet.

The Arkansas Life Underwriters Association met in Little Rock re- eehtly for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Convention oi Life Underwriters to be held at Toronto, Canada, August 21 to 23.
 After the work of eecting the delegates was finished the convention went into discussion of fraudelent insurance schemes and alleged viola tions of the Holland bill, which was passed by the last General Assembly. The Holland bill was aimed against companies engaged in selling what Is known as board contracts. or special contracts, permitting discrim- nation in favor of one class of policy holders against other classes. Un- der the board contracts it Is alleged certain life insurance companies have permitted their agents to place poli- cies with wealthy applicants with the understanding that the men insured would have an interest in the pre- miums paid by other holders.
 By q unanimous vote the following resolution was adopted on the sub ject
 Be it Resolved. by the Arkansas Life Underwriters Association, in regular convention assembled, That every effort should be made to secure q prompt and energetic enforcement of the Holland bill. passed by the last Arkansas legislature. forbidding all forms of discrimination among policy holders in life insurance companies.
 Be 1t further resolved, That the kindly interest and cooperation of Avery Moore, state commissioner of insurance be respectfully solicited and that the prosecuting attorneys in the several judicial districts of the state be requested to proceed toward the prompt inforcement of the law
 The convention gave special atten- tion to the action taken by Georgia officials against the State Mutual of Rome. At the request of one of the speakers, a review of the Georgia situation was made part of the minutes.
 The Georgia company proposed to establish a cooperative agency com pany, to write insurance for the mutual. The agency company pro posed to sell stock to the extent of S10.000,000, as permitted under it's charter, according to the report pub lished by an Atlanta paper. The proceeds of the sale of stock were il is alleged, to be turned over to the insurance company, thus leaving the agency company without the assets derived from the sale of the stocks.
 Attorney General Hart of Georgia l,ald the plan Illegal, so far as the in- surance company is concerned, be- cause il is not within the scope of it's charter powers.
 Based on the attorney general opinion, the comptroller of Georgia will. 1t is said, prohibit the company from putting its proposed plan lhto operation.
