CHANGES PROBABLE
IN INSURANCE LAW
May Make WisCOnSin'S Statute
Comply With New YOrk'S.
TO APPOINT COMMISSIONER?
Hope to Make That Officer Receive
Money Deposited by Insurance
Companies, Instead Of the
State Treasurer.

MadisOn.-The indications are that
there viii be considerable insurance
legislation this winter, some Of which
may make radical changes in the
handling of this department.
One Of the things contemplated is
bringing the Wisconsin law more into
line with the New York insurance law.
When Insurance Commissioner Beadle
and the present commissioner, H. L.
Ekern were in the east a short time
ago they paid visit to Albany for
the purpose of consulting with the in
surance department there and obtain
ing a better line on the manner in
which the department is conducted.
The books Of the department we're
thrown over to their inspection and
the methods Of operating explained in
detail One thing that impressed
them was the fact that under the
New York law the money deposited
by insurance companies as protection
for their stockholders in the state was
deposited with the commissioner of
insurance instead of the state treas
ureT's department.
1t is understood that an effort will
be made during the coming session
to have the Wisconsin law so changed
as to conform to the New York law
in that respect
.. is also understood that an effort
viii also be made to have the office
of insurance commissioner made ap-
pointive instead of elective. The New
York commissioner IS appointed by
the governor. The argument which
viii be advanced in support of this
change will be that by having the
insurance commissioner appointed in
stead Of elected at the time the other
state officers are elected will take the
Office out of politics.
If a bill is introduced proposing such
q change it is understood that it will
provide that the appointment shall
be for four years.
Little has been said regarding in
surance law changes but those who
are watching matters closely say that
It will be no surprise if bills cover
ing the above points are introduced
early in the session
