Illinois Life Wins Suit Against Insur-
ance Department.

Speaking today of the decision this
week by the United States court of
appeals which oVerruled Judge Pol
lock decision in the old Kansas Mu-
tual reserve fund case, Supt. Barnes
OF the insurance department declared
that it would result in the transfer
of the reserve fund from the Kansas
state treasury to that of Illinois. This
change, in the case of litigation on
the part of a Kansas Mutual policy
holder to recover would result in the
Kansan having to press his suit in
the courts of Illinois instead of Kan
sas. He would have to go to the
greater expense and trouble of going
to Illinois for justice he can no long
er get in his own state.
The history of this case is amin
teresting one. When the old Kan
sas Mutual was absorbed by the Illi-
nois Life Insurance company in 1903
the latter company reinsured the pol
icy holders of the Kansas Mutual and,
in accordance with the law, deposit
ed with the Kansas superintendent of
insurance a sum sufficient to cover
the reserve values. of all outstanding
policies at that. time. The amount
then deposited was about 100000.
After this had been done the Illi-
nois Life people came before the in
surance superintendent and demand
ed their reserve fund so deposited in
order that they could remove it to
quarters are located. Charles Barnes
was assistant superintendent of in
surance at that time and he opposed
the transfer. He wanted to keep
the money in Kansas for the protec-
ton of Kansas policy holders in case
of litigation. The case was tried in
Judge Pollock's court and the state
won the decision. Now the court of
appeals has reversed that decision and
the reserve fund behind the policies
of the Kansas Mutual must be remov-
ed from Kansas to Illinois and the
Kansas policy holders, in case they
were compelled to bring suit for their
claims, would have to go to Illinois
to attach this money instead of
| bringing proceedings at home in their
| own state.
The question at issue in this suit
was nothing less than the authority
| of a state to require a deposit put
up in that state for the protection of
its own citizens holding policies of IN
surance. There appears to be an ep-
! idemic of federal court decisions
| this winter against alleged state
rights. The guaranty decision last
month denied the state the right to
control it's own banks, and now its
powers over insurance companies
have been restricted.
