entirely to the creation of a perm6

The bill defines the duties Of the

the powers which shall be delegated
to the commission by the legislature.
The most important delegated power
is that now exercised by the execu.
tive council, which is by the terms
OF the bill, transferred to the pernIa'

eieakiy Faces Another Suit.
The American Patriots Insurance
company of Springfield. ILL.,, will
bring suit against State Auditor
Bleakly, in his official capacity. to
compel HIN to give tho company the
sight to sell insurance in Iowa.
The company at one time did bust.
ness in this state. but was dropped
from the list Of eligible companies
last April. The concern has . large
number Of policyholders in Iowa.
The suit will be brought notwith.
standing the fact that Judge De Graz
has ruled that the state auditor
could not be compelled, by manda-
mus suit. to permit tie writing Of
certain kinds Of automobile insur.
ance in Iowa in contravention Of the
state laws. The question raised BY
the suit Of the American Patriots
company is very similar to that in
the auto case, except that in this
case no law is involved, it is simply
question Of whether the courts will
dictate the discretion to be used BY
state Official in the performance
of his duties.
