attorney general will have to decide
who will be who in insurance matters
after July 1, owing to some apparently
conflicting clauses in the law separat-
ing the department from the Office Of

Governor Clarke has announced he
will appoint Emery H. English to the
position. There is this clause in the
law:
The commissioner of insurance shall
be the head of the insurance depart

control. supervision and direction of all
insurance business Transacted in the
state Of Iowa and shall be charged with
the execution of the laws of this state
relating to insurance land all powers

upon the auditor of this state relating
many way to insurance matters, shall,

The first clause of the new law also
provides that the insurance commits
sioner shall be appointed by the gov
ernor on or before the first day of July.

July 4. 1t has been assumed that the

fective was to appoint the commission

that the executive council shall now

provisions of the act.
But because Of fixing the date next

the commissioner beginning July I,
when he takes Office. In fact it is a
question whether or not the present
commissioner, the auditor Of state. will
permit any Of the business to be trans

The question at issue will 90 to the
attorney general and all patries in
