MUTUAL COMPANIES ILLEGAL
Sick Benefit Societies Among EN-
ployes Violate State Law.

Des MofneS. Dec. 4.--Mutual inSur-
,ance associations organized by indi-
viduals or by an employer for paying
sick benefits or death benefits of stip-
fulated amounts and where contract
is entered into for the payment of spe-
'cific amounts, is illegal the state de-
partment of insurance holds Such or
CARNATIONS must be regularly incor-
porated and comply with all of the
numerous provisions of the insurance
laws. if they are to legally exist This
ruling is made in connection with the
case of the Modern Bag Company. en-
IDioying men at the cement plant to
clean cement bags, which has, been
charging the men 81 per month to pay
into an insurance fund. F. l.. Adams,
of Valley Junction, brought complaint
against this practice and the state de-
partment says the company must stop
it. The company has agreed to do so.
The supreme court has ruled in inter-
preting the insurance laws that where
one OF the objects of an association is
to pay to the beneficiaries sum Of
money upon the death of member
which il to be raised by assessments
upon other members it is to be deemed
an insurance company and as such
must be regulated by the state. The
same general principle applies to
health and accident companies.

Chicago. Dec. 4-Whcat-The week
begins with marked change in the
general news. Most bearish item was
sharply lower cables from Argentina,
where rains are said TO be falling and
harvest is in progress Experienced
traders are therefore not disposed to
accept the sharp declines as worthy OF
serious attention.
Corn-The strength in wheat and
unfavorable weather for moving corn
combined with an improved export de-
mand TO rally prices. The recent break
has encouraged bears and. when the
market opened easier this morning,
there was a great deal OF pressure ex-
erted by locals whose offerings were
we'll taken by cash and commission
houses. There is a good deal Of De-
cember corn bought by interests that
are thought to be acting for exporters
and the seller may have difficulty in
delivering this corn unless freight and
conditions are very favorable.
The recent break has reduced country
offerings as farmers have been unwill-
ing to sell after the high prices bid
Tn am few weeks ago.
Oats-As was the case in corn. local
bears became too enthusiastic early
and a good share Of their offerings was
taken by houses which have been act
ing for seaboard.
