the surplus assets of the United States
branches Of enemy and ally of enemy
insurance companies for the purpose
of organizing domestic insurance COM
panies TO continue the writing of in
surance for American property owners,
was introduced tonight. The Alien
Property Custodian requested the Gov
ernor and the Superintendent of In
surance to urge upon the Legislature
the passage of the bill, on the ground
that it would assist him in carrying
out the provisions of the trading with
the enemy act. Senator James E.
Towner and Assemblyman Frank L.
Gardner sponsored the measure
The bill provides that. the Alien Prop
erty Custodian may invest all of the
assets of alien enemy companies, up to
the amount of their surplus, in the
capital stock of any domestic insurance
corporation whenever the declaration
and charter Of said insurance corpo-
ration shall have been filed according
to law.
Protects U. S. Policyholders
The transfer Of the assets of such
alien enemy insurance companies shall
be deemed an application OF the assets
for the general benefit and security of
the policyholders and creditors of such
foreign insurance companies in the
United States, and upon the transfer
of such assets by the Alien Property
Custodian the State Superintendent CT
Insurance is authorized by the bill to
register the securities deposited with
panies in the name Of "The Superin
tondent of Insurance, III Trust for the
Policyholders in the United States"
All Of the obligations and liabilities
in the United States of such foreign
companies shall be assumed by such
domestic companies. and they shall be
held liable to pay and discharge all of
such debts and liabilities of such for
eign companies in the United States in
the same manner as if they had been
incurred or contracted by such domes-
tic companies, and all rights and privi-
leges of such foreign insurance COM
panies under their outstanding con-
tracts or policies of insurance shall
inure to the benefit of such domestic
companies.
Disposition of Stock
The bill also provides that the stock
which the Alien Property Custodian
may acquire may be disposed of by
him to American citizensI but so long
as such officer holds majority of the
stock he may, at the organization of
such domestic corporation and at any
subsequent meeting thereof, designate
the whole board of directors, or such
lesser number as he may determine.
All such stock must, howe yer, he sold
or disposed of by such Alien Property
Custodian to American citizens prior
to the end of the war; or such domes-
tic corporation shat forthwith be

another class of men, who are beyond
the draft age and who have dependents.
In a>third class of city employees, who
are beyond the draft age and who have
no dependents, the Mayor has to con-
slider whether the government really
needs them If it does the Mayor
certities the application. If the man
who wants to enlist possesses no spe-
cial qualifications that would make him
particularly valuable to the govern
ment. but who, on the other hand, is
valuable public servant, it is diff
ficult matter to let him enlist under
the provisions Of the law
Mr.. Whalen said that whenever the
Mayor denied an application it was for
good and sufficient reasons The cir
cnmstances Of each individual case
governed the Mayors action, he said
Mr.. Whalen added that he could not
give the number of applications for
enlistment refused by the Mayor until
the entire situation had been surveyed

Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1918-11-20

Arizona's grand total for the United
War Work Campaign collection up to
the hour of daily report to New York
last evening was s540,701. Later re-
ports for the Victory Boys and Girls
bring the actual total to $541 900.
This is $4,000 more than the re-
quested oversubscription and certainly
assures Arizona a place near the top of
thelist. though this state dropped into
second position yesterday when Mary
land reached a total subscription of 232
per cent of its quota, based on New
York headquarters figures. On those
same figures, which are based upon
smaller minimum quotas than most of
the individual states have been using,
Arizona has reached pa per cent.
Early last summer the general head
quarters fixed minimum quotas which.
in most states, were voluntarily raised
later. Arizona's original minimum quo
Ia was only S239.000, but the state
headquarters has been using the volun-
teer figure of $500, 900 in all its state
ments. However, it is the New York
figures which obtain, and by them Ari-
iona has more than doubled it's min
mum quota but cannot be said to be
going strong in the two additional days
of the drive.
Had the drive closed Monday night,
as originally planned, Arizona would
have been in first place, for the excel
lent organization throughout the state
had planned to close then and had al
most finished its work. The two add =
tional days of grace. granted by general
headquarters because of the influenza
and time lost in the peace celebration.
will not add greatlv TO the sum Arizona
will contribute to this splendid war
work.
Arizona Eastern Helps Maricopa
One of the most gratifying features
Of yesterday in the Maricopa county
campaign was the reception of a dele
cation Of the Arizona Eastern en-
ployes. Many of these employees
doubled their original contributions
and this work will help to swell the
