INSURANCE RULING
WILL NOT ISSUE ADVISORY BOARD
 CONTRACT.
Decision of Commissioner Frank Julian Was Announced on Receipt of an Opinion from Attorney
 General Garber.

The Insurance Department of the State of Alabama will not permit in the future the issuance of any Advis- ory Board contracts or contracts of a similar nature. The decision of the In- surance Department was announced yesterday on receipt of an opinion ad- vising such action from Attorney Gen. eral A. M. Garber
 The Department will decline to li- cense such contracts and policies in the future. Deputy Insurance Commission CT A.. c. Sexton said yesterday that the companies which had been issuing such contracts might resort to the courts to secure the right to continue their issuance, but until an order from the court was received the Depart ment would decline to license the is- suance of the contracts under the rul- ing of the Attorney General.
 The question of board contracts has been something of live wire in the insurance circles of the State. This is not the first time that the Insur- ance Department has had to take a hand in the matter. A board contract, so called, Is the granting of a special contract or policy to some person who is to render a stipulated service to the company. On his part he may receive a dollar for every thousand dollars worth of life insurance written in the State or he may receive a certain per centage on all the insurance written in the country.
 On his part he may be called upon to urge the claims of the company on his friends. Or he may report to the company upon the advisability of some risk" who is a prospective policy holder.
 The result of the plan is the reduc- tion of the premiums of the company, and Is considered dangerous In other features by some insurance people
 When board contracts were first iu- troduced in Alabama they were allow ed only to a privileged few. Th4y was plainly against the law however.
 Tn time the board contracts were gem orally allowed. The companies goS to giving them to all alike. but still the practice had been declared illegal in many States It was the subject of considerable controversy in Alabama. To settle the question Captain Sexton referred the matter to Attorney Gen eral Garber. who wrote the following opinion on it:
 Hon. Frank N. Julian. Insurance Com
 missioner, Capitol:
 Dear Sir-A communication was re- gently addressed to me from your De- pertinent by Hon. A. c. Sexton. Dep uty Insurance Commissioner, in which you requested me to advise you wheth- CT Section 2602 of the code prohibited the issuance by insurance companies of advisory board contracts or con- tracts of a similar nature in connec- ton with life insurance.
 After a careful consideration of the matter, entertain serious doubt as to the legality of such contracts and in view of the importance of the ques- ton and the interests involved. feel constrained to advise that such plan

 Two hundred and ninety-seven lodges had to vote on the amendment to car " the same. Already fifty-three more than were needed have been secured and more are assured. Three hundred and fifty lodges voted for the amend ment, forty-one against 1t and fifty four more are yet to vote on the prop osition.

BIrmingham's New Depot.


 Birmingham's new passenger termi- nal will be used on and after Sunday evening. June 30.
 The working force for the big sta tion has been organized. Uniforms will be provided for the men around the depot, green to be the color, so as to distinguished them from other uniforms worn by trainmen.
 The station, when completed, will cost half a million dollars more than did the Atlanta station. and the entire structure will be the handsomest one in the South.
 The cost of the terminal here will be $1,500,000.
 The conveniences of the station will be modern in very particular. The trackage under the train sheds will be sufficient for many years to come. In fact, every detail in the construc- tion has been with a view to provid- ing for a greater city in years to come.
 The Birmingham terminal will be on completion, the finest and most costly building of its kind in the South. According to first plans the cost of erection was to be $1,500.00O. This amount it Is believed, has been exceeded. Although the officials who are in position to know will not state just how much money has been ex- pended on the work. 1t is undoubtedly a very large sum. The terminal here is said have cost at least $500,000 more than the terminal at Atlanta. This includes both buildings and grounds.
 The first train to enter the big messenger station will be Southern Railway No. 20 from Selma. This train is scheduled to arrive in Bir- mingham at 10:50 o'clock Sunday even ing on the new Southern schedule which was recently arranged. If not delayed by some providential means it is very probable that this train will come in on time and win the honor of being the first to unload Its passengers in the new Birmingham terminal.

of doing business on the part of any insurance company should not be ap- proved by you until after the legality of the same has been sustained by the courts. I deem 1t unnecessary to set forth in detail the reasons that lead me to conclusion; suffice to say that on more than one ground 1t is evident that such contracts may conflict with the intent and spirit of the section of the code referred to and the public policy sought to be established by that section. The scheme has, moreover many features of preference and ine- quality aside from it's discriminatory nature.
 A Very respectfully
 Alex M. Garber,
 Attorney General
 Speaking of the opinion of the At torney General and it's effect on the Insurance Department Captain Sexton said yesterday:
 The opinion of the Attorney Gen. eral puts the matter in such shape that we must in the future decline 10 allow any more special advisory board contracts. The companies which have been accustomed to grant them may as they see fit apply to the courts Tor an order. But until We are ordered oy the court to grant these contracts we
 
 Bearing upon the same question was the opinion of Attorney General Gar Der on the controversy at issue be- tween the Insurance Department and the State Mutual Life Insurance Com pany of Indiana. This company issued special board contracts. The main feature of these contracts was the agreement Of the company to consider each holder in the light Of an agent and with the privileges of an agent.
 MT. Sexton in last September went to Indianapolis to investigate, as far as he could the company and It's Ala bama business. AS a result of that visit he claimed of the company debt of $40 to the State of Alabama. He claimed this amount on the grounds that the company should pay the agents fee of $3.50 for every holder of one of the contracts in Alabama. The claim was based upon the proposition that as the holders of special advisory were considered as agents by the com pany theAcompany should pay the reg ular license fee on them.
 A settlement was delayed because of the reorganization of the company and because of other delays that could not be avoided. The company still pro- tested against the payment of the $4,-4 900 and the whole question was refer red to the Attorney General. He held that the holders of the contracts would be liable to agency charges in the years in which they exercised any of the functions of an agent.
 As a result of the opinion the com pany and the Insurance Department will come to some sort of a compro- mise over the disputed account. The State will collect from the company but the amount will be some smaller than $4,000.
