A DEED OF PAST AGES.

Hazing tomfoolery at the st. Johns
Military college in Michigan resulted in
the serious wounding of one of the par
Elephants by means of a revolver. st.
Johns, unfortunately, must still be liv-
ing in the dark ages of college life when
antics like hazing were considered the
thing which made the college man. The
first consideration in the present incl
dent is regret for the injury to stu
dent; the next consideration should be a
most thorough wedding out of archaic
college "sport" which leads timid youths
to arm themselves against invasion from
their mates. The boy who fred the shot
ought not to go without punishment of
some sort; but the root of the matter
will not be reached until the whole haz-
ing bunch has been given fair and
final warning that hazing has been rele-
gated to the past ages. Silly mummery
Of callow youths is no more a part of
college life than in ordinary life; and in
the latter sphere the shooting of one
person by another is considered a very
serious affair. 1t really is in the college
sphere, only the offense is sometimes
CLOSED over. Let the hazing stop.

to suppress information and suggested
that our law did not require reinsuring
companies to be admitted to do bus
mess in the state, that their obligations
were contracts of indemnity and not of
insurance, we're so treated by our law,
and so recognized by other states. But
told him in my reply that | would
try to bring about the admission of the
non-admitted reinsuring companies, so
that the situation might be exactly as
he said he supposed it to be when he APP
proved my bond. Since that time two
of the reinsuring companies have been
admitted to the state, and as the third
company which is indemnifying the
American Fidelity to the extent of Sl5,-
900 has declined to apply for admission
have asked the American to protect
the state by having company admit
ted to the state secure the performance
of this $4,000 undertaking. When that
is done the situation will be as Governor
far as the reinsuring companies are con-
cerned when he approved the bond.
Attorney Generals Opinion.
"In subsequent correspondence I gave
boNeiuOi fltbcutI WtllCu he
had requested concerning the American
Fidelity company, and he had been in
close touch with the commissioners con-
tinuously from July, 1913. And / in
formed him that / desired to comply
with all lawful requests coming from
himself as governor and so had asked
the attorney general for an opinion
touching my duties in the matter. The
attorney general replied that the juris-
dietion of the governor over my bond
had ceased when he approved it. and that
thereafter no official or board had any
control over it, and the attorney general
SO advised the governor upon the latter's
request for an opinion.
"Had there been any real occasion for
any change in the bond | would have
procured further security to the state
but as the commissioners in January,
1914, found the American Fidelity COM
pany solvent, and that it was conduct
ing its business at that time in way
to maintain continuing condition OF
solvency there was no reason for n
change. The company April 80, 1914,
had assets of nearly Sl,200,000, and a
surplus as to policyholders of more than
S450,000, which means that after setting
aside assets sufficient TO meet all habil-
tiles of every kind there remained an
unimpaired capital of $3s0,750 and funds
in addition of S93,lS4.20, making S473,-

situation as it then existed, voluntarily
surrendered and had cancelled practically
one-half of the shares of capital stock.
The effect of such a transaction was inn
mediately brought forward for consid-
Grafton, hearing was held by the in
surance commissioners with the attor-
ney general at which time legal opin-
ion in writing was submitted by Hon.
b. +. Fiteld to the effect that the trans
action had the effect claimed for it by
the company. Soon after the commits
sioners were furnished with an opinion
of ex-Chief Justice John w. Rowell
which was to the same legal effect as
that of Mr.. Fifeld. Later Attorney GEN
eral Brown advised the commissioners
that in his opinion the transaction had
the effect claimed. During this time
Hon. Guy w. Bailey and myself, as
lawyers and insurance commissioners,
made an examination of the law upon
the subject and we were satisfied that
the transaction had the effect claimed
for 1t, that no funds were being with
drawn from the company, and the COM
pany was thus put into position of
solvency with capital stock of approx
imately $3S0,000.
Governor Fletcher's Request Received.
'"On January s, 1914, Governor Fletch-
err, by letter, requested cancellation
of my bond and the substitution of an
other and stated that he based his re-
quest upon information furnished him
by me as insurance commissioner. At
that time the question concerning the
surrender and cancellation of stock was
under consideration by the attorney gen
eral. l replied that / felt the informal
ton furnished by me did not warrant
such a request il the stock matter had
the effect claimed by the company and
that / felt the commissioners should as
sumo that il had that effect until we
had received an opinion from the at
torney general TO the contrary. Under
date of January 10 he renewed his re-
quest and stated that if / did not COM
ply with his request within 10 days he
should assume that declined to do so,
and for the first time / learned that he
claimed that ] had failed to make dis
closure of a material fact which was
that three of the four reinsuring COM
panies were not admitted to do an in
surance business in the state at the time
they were accepted as sureties on my
bond. And in that connection he stated
that he would not have accepted them
had he known the facts. As courteously
as / knew how denied that ! had tried

934.20 with which to meet any extra
ordinary losses which may occur. While
the company is not as large as formerly
it is now financially sounder than at any
time in it's history, barring possibly the
first few years of its existence.
"Our law provides that foreign sure
ty company coming into this state Tor
business must have an unimpaired cap
ital OF 100000, it will thus be seen that
the American Fidelity, the only Vermont
company engaged in this line OF bus
mess, has nearly double the amount re-
quired of foreign companies. This com
pany is also doing business in Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New York and
more than 20 other states, where the
strictest supervision is exercised over
such companies, and where the highest
standards of solvency prevail. For more
than seven and half years as one OF
the insurance commissioners OF tins
state have had knowledge OF this com
pany's affairs. The company in Decem-
Der last ceased writing policies insuring
EMPLOYERS against accidents to their en-
pIoyes and thus has eliminated hazard
ous and undesirable branch OF business,
and il is now carrying on business IN a
way which should insure continuing
condition of solvency, and the company
is entitled to and has the confidence OF
the insuring public of this state and also
of other states.
Il have nothing further to say at this
time but the foregoing facts can be YER
flied by the official correspondence which
is rather too voluminous to publish en-
tire.
sIn conclusion, / wish to state that
having found the American Fidelity COM
pany legally solvent, financially solvent,
and solvent in every way, and having no
reason to believe the such a condition
will not be continued and maintained,
should his excellency the governor seek
to break down by direct attack, or in
directly by insinuation, innuendo, sub
terfuge or in any other manner this
solvent Vermont institution he will OBJ
tain no assistance from me in such pur-
suit, for as long as ! hold any position
Of trust or responsibility under the laws
of Vermont | shall do everything in my
power to uphold the good name of the
state and her sound and solvent institu-
tions intrusted to my care.

obedient servant,
