BOGUS INSURANCE STOCKS.
Commissioner Advises Against Buying
Stock Without stigating.

The Mississippi Insurance depart
ment continues to receive numerous
letters inquiring about sundry insur-
ance companies Offering the people OF
Mississippi stock, through stock sales
men In view OF the fact that the law
written by Commissioner Henry, and
introduced in the last legislature
seeking to regulate this important
matter, failed of passage, he is with
out the necessary information to salts
factorily answer such inquiries. The
bill in question passed the house, u
failed in the senate. Briefly, 1t pro
vided that all insurance companies
desiring to sell stock in Mississippi
should first file their charter and all
material matters with the insurance
commissioner, and before selling any
stock they and all their stock sellers
should be licensed and under the su-
pervision of that department. Had
that bill passed, the evil would nave
been minimized, the people protected
from fraudulent concerns, and the
sound ones placed on a basis where
their soundness could be known, and
the effect most salutary IN otner re-
spects. AS it is the state is without
any law regulating, or in any manner
controlling stock selling in insurance
companies. .
Commissioner Henry's advice to all
inquiries is to purchase no stock IN
any of these companies until indispu-
table evidence from disinterested
sources is obtained OF their sound
ness.
