THE TEXAS INSURANCE LAWS

The people OF Texas will remember
that when the 3ist legislature was
about to pass the Robertson Life In
aurance bill. there was great deal
said and written in opposition to the
proposed law. The law provides that
all out-of-the-State Life Insurance
Companies, doing business In Texas.
are required to invest at least IS per
cent OF their reserve arising from
Texas premiums. In Texas securities.
Before this time. the old line com
panies domiciled In eastern States,
would collect hundreds of thousands
OF dollars from Texas policy holders
and these profits were sent TO eastern
cities and invested there. thus drain
ing the money from Texas and piling
II up in New York Pennsylvania.
Massachusetts and other PARKWAY
States
Mr. Robertson. John n Kirby aud
others in Texas. conceived The idea
that a plan could be formed to keep
the greater part of this money in
Texas. The result OF their delibcra-
lions was that In 1907 a bin was In
troducod in the 3lst legislature and
became law providing for Texas in
yostments. Texas men of affairs had
become tired of seeing hundreds of
thousands of dollars paid ont for In
surance IN Texas carried east to pro-
vide cheap money there TO be loaned

A number OF outside companies
wore quick TO give out the scare that
they would have TO withdraw from

that the Texas law would damage
the business welfare OF the State and
drive capital out The cry however.
