Most Unfnlcrnal.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. Of
The fourteenth annual national con-
vetion of insurance commissioners
opened in this city this morning with
$50 delegates, representing practical
y all OF the states In attendance.
President BENJAMIN F. Grouse OF
MARYLAND. introduced Gov. John r.
Shafroth OF Colorado, who delivered
the address OF welcome. which was
RESPONDED to by Hon. Fred w, Potter
Of Illinois, vice president OF the con.
vention.
The feature of the morning session
was the address Of President Grouse,
who said in part:
The insurance business should UNI
idoubtedly bear its fair and proper
share OF governmental expenses but
should not be burdened with heavy
and excessive taxes simply because it
can be done BY hiding and covering
them up in the premiums paid by
Spolicyholders or by reducing dividends.
which otherwise would be largely in
creased.
IF the people who do the. voting
arc clearly convinced that those who.
pay insurance premiums are paying
excessive taxation on their savings,
.9puie ielicl5 VIII suHuOu pleQtS 49, CONT
Especially ought the premiums of
fire insurance companies be reduced
as no part of this indemnity paid is
ever returned to the insured except
in case of fire and then only to reim-a
huisc him for his actual losses.
Fraternal insurance is another
subject of great Importance. One OF.
the great troubles is how TO deal
with Il very great number of asso-.
Citations styling themselves fraternal
whose conduct and actions towards
their members are OF the most unfra-
ternal character. Some Tlan should be.
devised to eradicate these concerns
which exist only to rob those who
are induced by false promises of rich
returns to become members"

of the companies he called .unfra-
