Austin. Texas. March z6.-Governu.

The bill was not among the batch ap-

ing John s. Patterson, to be closely
examined before II is disposed Of The
commissioner does not favor the meas
ure as it finally became a law. He de-
clares that it is not much Of an inn
prOvement over the present law. This
proposed new law provides that a COM
pany or association before It engages
in business must have a capital OF
$4,000 in cash deposited in a bank,
which is an Improvement over the old
law, but which the commissioner de-
clares is totally Inadequate TO protect
policy holders
One feature TO which the commits
sioner strenuously objects is that
which provides that the permit to So
licit business and also the license to
write insurance shall be granted TO
one man, a manager or attorney. and
should this man die or have his permit

also might vanish, according TO Mr.
