FOR BETTER INSURANCE
Underwriters Representing Sound In
stituions VIII Wage War Against
Wildcat Companies in Utah.


Because they are convinced that eve
ry victim of fraudulent insurance will
allow his disappointment to exert it.
self against the principle of insurance
rather than against the company which
secured his policy, the Life Under
writer's of Utah are taking up war
fare against wildcat" concerns.
The underwriters plan to bring into
their campaign n demand for a new
and more rigorous insurance law, and
to throw the light of publicity on the
standing of all questionable companies
seeking to insure in Utah. For these
purposes they met yesterday at Com
mercial club luncheon to talk over the
matter with representatives of the
press. 1t was decided to establish a
press bureau where matters pertaining
TO the people in connection with their
desire for insurance. may be discussed.
A tentative bill for the next legisla-
lures consideration, placing further re-
strictions about the business of writ
ing Insurance in Utah is to be drawn
as one result of the meeting yester-
day.
In stating the case for the insurance
men, President VIII G. Farrell declared
that Secretary Of State Tingey and Col
Geo. b, Squires, in actual charge of
the insurance bureau, We're now doing
all in their power to restrict bad COM
panies and had in fact met the neces-
sites of the case without sufficient
backing from the law, but still with
power TO at least give publicity to
fraudulent schemes which so far had
had an excellent effect.
