Twisting" insurance Business


1T appears that the practice of
health business in the State has not
been entirely eliminated, although the
efforts of the Maine Insurance depart-
ment have for some time been direct
ed towards the reduction of this prac-
tice and we believe through the CO.
oepration of the greater part of the
agents engaged in this business that
there has been considerable less of this
changing of business than for many
years past" stated Hon. J. Wallace
Blunt of Skowhegan, State insurance
commissioner.
The last legislature continued
Commissioner Blunt enacted a stat
ute on this subject as follows No in
suranee company, association or So
ciety. or any officer, director. agent,
broker or solicitor thereof shall issue,
circulate or use, or cause or permit
TO be used, circulated or used any
written or oral statement, or circular
misrepresenting. the terms of any life,
personal, accident, or health policy is
sued or to be issued by such COM
pany, or misrepresenting the benefits
or privileges promised under any such
policy No insurance company, asso-
citation or society, officer, director.
agent. solicitor or broker, or any per-
son, firm, association or corporation
shall make any Misrepresentation, oral.
written or otherwise, to any person
for the purpose of inducing or tending
to induce such person to take out a
policy of life, personal accident or
health insurance, or for the purpose
of inducing or intending to induce any
person having life, personal accident
or health insurance TO lapse, forfeit or
surrender such insurance and to take
out policy of insurance in another
company.
The penalty for violation Of the
above is fine of not more than 500
for each offense or Imprisonment for
not exceeding six months.
In view of the fact that there seems
TO be at present considerable num-
Der OF transfers among agents of in
dustrial accident companies we be-
lieve word in regard to the statute
and the results of this practice may
not be out of place. While the statute
provides a penalty for twisting or
transfer of insurance through misrep-
resentation only, yet it has been our
practice to discourage agents from
changing companies and transferring
business which they have written for
the sake of temporary profit. Our
position has not been one of sympa-
thy for the companies but for the peo-
pie who have taken this class of in
surance and have secured certain ac-
cumulations by carrying the policies
for a year or more and which must
be sacrificed when the policy is can
celled even though they obtain one
some features not incor-
porated in the first.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-11-09

THE insuring company should real
lie that in purchasing insurance as
well as in purchasing any commodity
that they seldom receive more than
they pay for. 1t is true that certain
policies may be better adapted to the
personal needs of some persons than
others, but to constantly change the
company carrying the insurance does
not enhance it's value, and it is very
possible that person following this
practice or allowing agents to induce
him to follow 1t may find himself In
time of need without the protection he
dseires. To the agent we will further
say that the practice of transferring
policyholders has certain disadvant-
age to the agent who transfers them
His client has been insured with a
good company and may be transferred
by him to another company and per-
haps to third company. The habit
Of transfer Is easily acquired by the
policyholder and such transfer opens
the way for competitors to secure the
patronage Of his client.
Besides prohibiting twisting or
transfer Of accident insurance under
certain conditions, our Statute pro-
vides that there shall be no rebate of
the premium or commission by the
agent or solicitor to the person in
sured.
Until recently no cases where re-
bate appeared probable have come to
our attention, but In view of the fact
that it is intimated that certain
agents Of the State are dividing pol
icy fees or commissions with policy
holders we must call attention to this
Statute. While it may be argued that
if the agent deems 1t advisable he
should be permitted to divide his COM
mission with the policy holder IL he
so desires, nevertheless we have a
Statute prohibiting this and further
there can be no good reason why one
policyholder should receive part of
the agents commission unless all
policynolders shall receive part of
| the commission. Further the agent
who permits his commission to be re-
duced in this manner is shortening his
income and places himself under a
considerable handicap in these days

STATE CERTIFICATION
OF OUR TEACHERS

Now that the act for the State GER
GRAFTON it is rather interesting to note
some OF the facts and figures entailed
This act requires that after Sept.
l. 1914, all teachers in the public
schools shall hold State certificates or
temporary teaching permits. The lat
ter are graded by local superintend-
epts on examination and are in force
for period not exceeding one year.
State certificates are of three grades,
elementary. secondary and special.
AS the names imply, a certificate of
elementary grade gives authority to
the person to whom 1t is issued 10
teach in the elementary on common
schools. while q secondary grade GER
tificate gives authority to teach in the
secondary or High schools. Special GER
tlficates authorize person to teach
special subjects such as manual train
ing. household arts, agriculture, music,
drawing, penmanship. etc. Where ev
idence of advanced training for teach
ing is presented elementary and Sec
ondary certificates of professional
grade are granted, Normal school
graduates are eligible TIC elementary
certificates Of professional grade and
persons who have completed approved
courses in education in colleges or
higher institutions may receive secon-
Diary professional certificates.
The basis on which State certifi-
Gates are granted are (a) written ex-
animation: CD two years or more sue
cessful teaching experience; (c) scho-
lastic record in normal training or
training schools or colleges; (dD GER
tificates are granted by authority of
other states
The terms for which certificates are
issued are for two years. five years
and life. The length of the terms for
which certificates are iscued is deter
mined by the teaching service of the
applicant.
To date there have been issued in
the Office of the State superintendent
of schools 56S2 certificates. These in
clude only the certificates granted I'M
der the provisions of the new act. In
addition there have been issued to
date 700 forms for temporary teaching
permits.
The certifcation of teachers re-
quires a large amount of detail work.
With each application that comes in
it is necessary to secure reference re-
ports, certificates of graduation and
other material depending upon the
basis on which the certificate is to be
granted. An average Of at least five
separate papers is necessary in the
case of each application and the as
sembling of the material, grading and
engrossing certificates and completing
reccrdS iS no small task
The work has progressed very sat
sifactorily and from reports received
from superintendent OF schools the
effects of the law are already being
noticed in a betterment of school con-
ditions.
