CONS INSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION REJECTS AMENDMENT REDUc-

ATTACK ACTUARIAL BUREAU
Convention Struck From Draft Sec tion Recommending Creation of ln- surance Commissioner and Fire
 Marshal's Office.
Little Rock

LllIl6 hOCk.--
 Insurance rates and the fire insur- ance bureau were the chief topics Of discussion in the constitutional con vention. The interest rate for the state, after some discussion, was left the same as in the present constitu- tion.
 The convention struck from the draft the section recommending the creation of the state insurance com missioner and fire marshaps office, upon motion by Judge Jeptha H. Ey- ans, and referred substitute sec tion, written by Delegate Head, mak- ing the office elective, to special committee of five, which will report the matter back to the convention.
 AS soon as Chairman Scott of tho committee on banking and insurance had reached the section defining the duties of the commissioner of insur- ance and fire marshal, Delegate Head of Miller began the attack by declar- ing that rates on the university build ings at Fayetteville had risen 250 per cent. MT. Head demanded that the office be made elective or abolished.
 Delegate Moore took the floor to say that the fire marshaPs office had been created by the fire insurance companies for the express purposes of having a prosecutor in cases of arson where they did not like to act. MT Moore also attacked the Arkan- sas actuarial bureau and instanced the difference between Texas rates and those of Arkansas.
 am after the scalp of the actuarial bureau" said MT. Head, "and I want to hang 1t on the fence. I am also against these small fire insurance company lobbyists"
 Some one asked MT. Head if the Legislature could protect the people.
 'If the Legislature takes care of us in the future as it has in the past, then God help Arkansas" replied MT. Head
 Another effort was made to ad- journ the convention sine die, but failed.
 Delegate Evans of Logan county, who opposed the original adjourn ment plans, made motion that, since the convention had expended virtually all of it's funds, it recess until July of next year.
