DISS|M|LARITY Of INSURANCE
LAWS, EXPENSE To POLICY HOLDERS
Commissioner of Minnesota
Says Lack of Uniformity
Is Exasperating to De
partmentS.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 19.-Declar-
ing that expense is the only result of
the life Insurance policyholder from
the present great dissimilarity of state
supervisory laws, John A Hartigan,
commissioner of insurance of Mime
sofa, urged that the third annual meet
ing of the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents today that steps should be
taken to obtain uniformity.
Certain uniform insurance laws ex-
list in a number of states and certain
requirements are the same, as, for in
stance, the form of annual report" said
Mr. Hartigan, but the municipality of
other requirements is as great, almost,
as in the number of departments and
the companies.
POIicyhOIder Stands Cost.
1.-The work of the department is in
creased and the result of this work
diminished on account of the diverse de-
mands of different states. A knowledge
of the laws of the home state must be
supplemented by thorough familiarity
with the laws of all other states as
companies are governed sometimes by
the laws of the home state and some
times by those of the licensing state. A
company complying strictly with the
law of one commonwealth, may find
itself, on that account, a lawbreaker
in another. As different state laws pre-
scribe different standards for admitted
assets. the annual statements show
surprising divergence as published in
different places.
If for the annoyance caused by this
diversity, there were compromising
benefits to the policyholders, it might
be tolerated but of these there are none.
The only result to the policyholder is
Increased cost of supervision, which In
crease he must bear"
Effort Toward Uniformity.
After relating various efforts that
have been made TO obtain uniformity
since the conventions of insurance COM
missioners was organized in 1871, and
after stating that the greatest accomp-
lishment in the line of uniformity was
the enactment within the last few
years in more than 20 states of the
laws known as the Committee of Fiji
teen Bills" the commissioner said:
IF the causes for existing lack Of
uniformity have been properly and cor
rectly set forth, then the following
remedies are apparent: action on one
subject at a time, agreement between
surprising officials and company rep
resentatives on proposed laws and
amendments to existing laws; central
bureau in touch with the legislatures;
education of policyholders and appeal
for their support; proper insight into
the needs of the business
'SThe policyhOIder r:ust be impressed
with the idea that everything that af-
fects a company adversely affects him
in like manner. In considering laws
that may be uniformly adopted, per-
sonal. selfish desires and ambitions
must be eliminated. Only such laws
can be generally enacted and retained
as tend to the improvement OF the
businss as a whole and any law that
will have this effect must receive the

AGED VETERAN WORKING AT
ODD JOBS GETS PENSION.
Joseph Walmer, of DaIhart, Receives
$1,000 and VIII Be Sent to the
Soldiers Home in kansas.

Dalhart, lex. Jan. 19.-"All things
come to him who waits" The verify
of this old quotation has just come
home TO Joseph Walmer, an old Civil
war veteran of the 4Sth Pennsylvania,
whose lettering steps have elected
sympathy for years in Dalhart. Wal
mer has been notified through post
master W. J. Clarke. who took up his
case with the pension department, that
he is to be admitted TO the old soldiers
home at Leavenworth, Kansas, and be-
sides his regular monthly pension from
now on, will receive back pension of
$1,000. to which he is entitled.
Walmer has been in Dalhart from
the earliest days and his cheerfulness
won for him, despite his age and in
firnities, the soubriQuet of THE Kid
with every one who knew him. At one
time since 1861, Walmer was quite
well to do, but reverses swept away
his little fortune and for years now he
has been doing odd jobs for a living.
He is a taciturn old man regarding
his own character and history and but
few of even his intimates knew him to
be a veteran.
The war department, in its letter to
postmaster Clarke, says that Walmer
was honorably discharged after faith
full and brave service in the army OF
the Potomac

UNEVEN RAINFALL
Crops Are Either Suffering From Too Much or Too Little Rain in Many
 Sections of Arkansas.

Little Rock, July 1.-The distlibu- tion of rains over the state this sum- mer has been so unequal that in most sections crops are either suffering for want of or from too much rain. At the state farm, according to Supt. Pitcock, who has just returned, there has not been a day since May when rain did not fall upon the farm, and not in drizzles then. but in torrents. This has caused the rain to make the grass grow more rapidly than the cot ton. All of Eastern Arkansas is in the same condition, but the western half of the state starts at the border with rain in just sufficient quantity there, edping off to strip running from north to south. near the center. which is suffering from rain. When the heavy rains were falling in East ern Arkansas, there was little or no rain in the western part of the state, and the rains have fallen there since the skies cleared in the east

In recent issue of The Star a Card of Thanks was published, signed by Stephen Bates and others. In handling it the editor, delighting in being disseminator of good will, and smoothing away so far as possi- ble the rough spots in life for his readers, modified sentence. Of this Mr. Bates writes;
 We very much regret the change made in the last clause in our Card of Thanks, which puts us in false position. The manuscript reads We are glad to say that so far as we know most people about Big Fork have treated us very nicely The fact is there are three or four peo- pie hero who have treated US very badly, and everybody knows it. and we feel that the way the article is worded in The Star does us an in- justice by making us sign a false statement. We would be pleased to have you reprint the card with above corrections either with or without comment.
