PRACTICE OF OUTSIDE .,NsUR-
ANcE BROKERS PLACED UN.
DER BAN IN IOWA.
ONLY LICENSED AGENTS
MAY DO BUSINESS HERE
Commissioner English Rules That Com
panies Are Prohibited From Issuing
Policies in This State Except Thru
Resident Agents - Custom Of Big
Brokers in Cities to Be Prohibited.
IS Republican.

Special to mes-Republican,
Des Moines, Sept. 16.-The. practice
of big insurance brokers from cities
outside the stats writing the Insurance
of Iowa concerns was dealt a death
| blow by Insurance Commissioner Eng
| lish in a ruling issued today. He de-
| clares that sliceRred resident agents
only can write insurance in this state
under the Iowa law. AS these big out
| side brokers are not licensed Iowa
agents their business in this state
hereafter will be nil. e~ ,.-,
Commissioner English points out
that under section 1893 of the Iowa
statutes companies are prohibited from
issuing policies of insurance in TINS
| state except thru their resident agent
or agents. Sections 1T25 and 1S2l-h
of the Iowa statutes require that al
agents shall be licensed.
1t Is therefore held by this depart
ment." says Commissioner English
that a licensed agent signing or is
suing policies of insurance as solicited
by a representative not SO licensed be-
tbI1ltS ii patty ~ AN
statute and subject to the penalty pre-
scribed therefor"
Many Not Licensed.
1t has been the custom of these Dig
brokers in cities like Chicago, st. Louis
or elsewhere to write to some Dig hrin
and offer to place all of their insur-
ance at a rate less than could be Will
ten by a local or resident agent Inc
insurance would be written in a num-
her of companies, many of them being
companies not licensed TODD business
in his state or companies who's pell-
cies had not been passed upon by the
state insurance department. In oroer
to get around the law which requires
that ali agents for insurance in this
state must be licensed, the bag oToker
would send the policies so written TO
the local agent and ask him 70 sign
them. giving him a part of the COM
mission for SO doing. This is the prac-
tice which the state insurance comml5-
sioner is hitting at in his ruling.
On companies which meet the re-
Quirements of the Iowa law as 10 its
policies the state insurance commits
sioncr says one agent can write insur-
ance no lower than another, that is
there can be no cutting Of rates. once
the rates have been. filed with the de-
partner and approved. The COM
panies not recognized as standard and
not licensed TO do business in the state
make low rates and usually the bust
ness written by the big brokers is
partially placed in these companies.
In the past several months the state
department has been going over the
accident and health policies OF the
| companies doing business III this state
to ascertain whether or not the in
sured really has protection in his poi
| lev or whether there are a good many
| loopholes in which the company could
escape from paying the Insurance
Some companies, writing such 1nsur-
ance at a very low rate. have been
prevented from writing business IN
this state.

The Arizona had passed through the

tics F
This drain is probably the largest
drainage project undertaken in the
state of Iowa to this time. This drain
age district will include the northeast
part of Sac county. the northwest part
of Calhoun county, the west part of
Pocahontas county and the east part
of Buena Vista county. and when COM
pleted will furnish outlet and drainage
for approximately 81 sections, or 206.-
600 acres, of land. The plans call for
approximately seventy miles of open
ditch which ranges in size from SIX
feet to ninety feet wide in the bottom
and from three to twenty-five feet
deep. requiring the excavation of s.
10000 cubic yards of earth.
There will also be about eighty miles
of tile drains in this system, ranging
from six inches to thirty-siX inches. in
diameter and from four feet to sixteen
feet deep.

OF Rockwell City is engineer for the

The survey for this system required
about two years and was done at a
cost of about $500. which is an I'M
usually low cost considering the
amount of work done.
The construction of this system will
probably be undertaken in about an
other year.
