Insurance Department.
one OF the most important Of the
departments in it's relation to the
public, coming under the supervision
OF the State Auditor, Is the Insurance
Department, and in late years. at q
comparatively small cost to the State
the public has been rendered exceed.
lngly valuable service, as it Is the
duty OF the department to protect
the public from imposition through
frauuuient and Irresponsible fnsur-
ance companies and to cause all the
companies operating in the State to
comply with the insurance laws.
which were designed with the whole
intent of protecting the people and
the responsible insurance companies
The insurance business in West
Virginia has grown to vast propor-
tons. In 1896 tn insurance com
panies paid to the State in taxes the
sum Of $21,S12.09. This was the
last year Of Democratic administra
ton. In 1909 the insurance com
panies doing business in West Vir
ginta paid into the State treasury in
taxes the sum Of $112,133.56. For
the year 1909 the insurance com
pantes also paid into the State treas
ury fees to the amount Of s35. 900
~. Prior to the year 1905 the fees
from the insurance companies went
10 the Auditor as q part Of his com
ppenSauon, and the records do not
ulscIose the amount Offices collected
prior to that year.

On September 80, 1910, there was
on deposit in state repositories, ST.
415, 1864 to the credit Of the, State,
and all charges due against the State
had been promptly paid up to and in
Guiding this date.
The fiscal year for the State closed
September Goth. At the regular ses-
sion of the Legislature Of 1897, which
was the last legislature during Gov
ernor MacCorkle's administration,
there was appropriated 5000, 289.0U for
the payment Of charges against the
State, contracted on or before the Goth
of September, 1896. This statement
shows that there were not sufficient
FUNDS to the c'redit Of the State to
meet its current expenses The
Democrats today boast much Of the
condition Of the Treasury when, the
Republican party assumed control in
1897, when, as matter of fact, the

The insurance department has
earned and gained the confidence Of
the insurance public and many Of
the citizens Of the State, in taking
out fire or life insurance policies,
nave been saved from adventures
by timely warning, and the schemes
or fake stock vendors have been 'ex-
posed.
Fire Marshal's Department..
The office OF the State Fire Mar
shall is a new department created by
act of the Legislature Of 1909 and it
Is maintained wholly by the fire In
surance companies, b is Of vast
benefit to the entire public. Several
States have Fire Marshals and they
have been found to be q valuable aid
IN decreasing the fire losses through
their prosecution Of incendiaries.
TO decrease the fire losses in West
Virginia was the desire OF the fire
insurance companies and they believ-
ed State Fire Marshal with one or
two deputies would be instrumental
in ending the great destruction OF
property by incendiaries. The fire
insurance ompanies are taxed to
pay the fire marshal and his assist
ants and besides meeting all the OBJ
legations of the Department they
have responded readily with financial
assistance in prosecuting several ag-
gravated cases Of incendiarism.
Democratic speakers have referred
to the Fire Marshal and his office az
useless expenditure of money by
the State. They did not attempt to
make an investigation which would
show the fire insurance companies
maintained this department al" their
own expense and that it has not cost
the taxpayers one dollar.
Beginning with March 4, 1905, all
fees in connection with the Auditors
office, which formerly went into the
pocket Of the Auditor, were paid into
the State Treasury. The following
figures show the amounts collected
in fees by the State Auditor and
turned into the State Treasury since
the law went into effect In these
amounts is included also statutory

The appropriations to pay counsel
by the legislature Of 1909 were to pay
FOR counsel employed and services
rendered before the present admins
tratlon. The old Democratic custom
or employing special counsel to assist
the Attorney General in all civil cases,
ana to some extent followed by the
Republicans. for time after they
came into power, has been abandoned
by the present Republican admins
tration, and the Attorney Generals
department Is now doing all the work
without outside assistance, a great
saving to the people.

We are spending more money today
for educational purposes than at any
time in the history Of the State. OF
the $531625 levied in 1909 for state
purposes, $405,01S was transferred
from the State to the State school
fund, and was distributed back to the
respective counties. Thus it is shown
that the Republican party is conduct

The State School Fund.

In 1896, the last year Of Governor
MacCork1e's administration, the dis
tributabe school fund Of the State
amounted to $380,995 and the per
capita distribution to $685.. In
1909 the distributab1e school fund was
$709,559, and the per capita distribu-
ton, including the supplementary
fund, was 1854 Here we have an
increase Of $328,564 in the amount Of
the distributable school fund in 1909
over 1896, and an increase Of SOC per
capita. This gets right back to the

Some of the unreliable Democratic
newspapers have been comparing the
cost of the Attorney Generals Depart
ment at the present time with the cost
Of the last Democratic Attorney Cen
eral under Governor MacCorkle. Let
us compare the cost on the basis OF
the labor performed by each, the only
true way, as shown by the official re-
ports. The first two fiscal years OF
the last Democratic Attorney General
lis compared with the first two fiscal
years of the present Republican adj
ministration The entire term Of four
years, would be compared, but no one
can foresee the future work to be done
during the remaining two fiscal years

business is constantly growing.

was on. fee basis. the Auditor being

sides the fees from the Insurance
department, the fees from the Land
department and fees collected from
corporations. Today all these fees
are paid direct into the State Treas
ury instead Of going into the pockets
OF office holders, and today the Audi
