character. who need most the strong arm of the law to protect them We are in favor of legitimate fraternal insur- ance. but restrictions should be thrown around this class of business in Ala bama to the extent that such comps nies would have to submit to certain requirementG before being allowed to come among our people and solicit and write insurance for them. A great many concerns of this character start out in business without a cent of cap- itai either in office. banks. or as de- posit anywhere. thinking 1t is sufficient that they exploit neatly prepared printed matter. and an attractive pol- fey, We ask the cooperation of the legitimate organizations of this kind. many of which are doing business h Alabama, and are worthy of patronage. to assist us In bringing about better conditions in Alabama in this regard 1t will be to the advantage of the good orders to assist In inducing legislation that will protect them from the mush- room variety"

no legal adjustment in the event of a loss of life or property under the poi- ley. The law. Section 4sSf. of the new Code, requires that when a party takes out insurance In an unauthorized com pany.. report thereof must be made to the Department of Insurance accornpa- nied by remittance of one per cent Of the premiums paid on the policy.
 Failure so to do.' says the bulletin, "deprives such party of legal adjust msnt in case of toss under his policy. The very small amount of money re- eeived annually by the department from this source leads us to believe that about ss per cent of this business of this character ia never reported to this office.
 we desire to warn the people who patroriixe unauthorized companies that they take some chances in falling to observe the law above referred to. Re- quest is, therefore. made of all parties who receive this bulletin 10 send to the Department the names of all unauthor- ized companies that are known to be doing business in Alabama In order that we may further be aided in our efforts to ascertain the amount of bus mess done annually by such compa- nfes."
 Major A. c. Sexton. Deputy Insurance Commissioner, Is not so sure that the parties who fail to report insurance with unauthorized companies cannot be reached with fine and Imprisonment under the statutes as they now exist. To relieve all doubts about the matter he has decided to request an opinion oi Attorney General Garber on the appii- cation of the Code in cases of this char acter.
 If the attorney General decided as the Deputy Comnaissioner himself thinks Is correct. 1t would mean that persons,
 firms or corporations would all be iia- ble to fines in the case of insuring with unauthorized companies without re- porting such fact to the Department
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-12-13

and otherwise complying with Section toSl, and persons are subject to an ex- Ira imprisonment of not more than six months for such disobedience.
 Several Such Concerns.
 Major Sexton is advised that several companies which have never received the sanction of the Department and which have never procured licenses. are operating in Alabama. These arc almost exclusively fire companies. It is the purpose of the Department to drive such companies from the State, and if It cannont be done one way 1t will be done another. The warning just issued may result in people looking with more care into the character uf the compa- nies with, which they are insuring This Is a feature of business on the part of public that Is sadly neglected
 For what is 1t worth, it is asked. to pay premiums for protection that may m the end amount to no protection at all? The State Of Alabama would not be behind any company to make it pay for losses when the losing company was not authorized to make contracts.
 The department in this bulletin also goes after the fraternai Insurance or ders of the careless variety and pro- for more legislation regulating their business.
 RulIetin on FrnternaIs. f
 On this point the bulletin Is quoted as follows:
 'In the last few months much corre- spondehcc has been had concerning fraternal insurance in Alabama. It Is known. of course, to the citizens of this State and generally, that all fraternai orders are exempted from the provis- Ions of the general insurance laws.
