HOUSE PASSES INSURANCE. BILL.
Legislators Change. Minds Regarding
Amending Ancient Measure.

House members late this afternoon
passed the insurance bill The
measure. which would drive number
OF the large old line companies from
the state, according to claims, was
beaten in the house Tuesday. but
passed the senate the same day. The
senate bill then passed the house.
The bill permits life insurance COM
panies to write special benefit clauses
covering accident and disability of in
sured. A law enacted in 1871 was
never enforced as it did not apply to
present day life insurance conditions.
But when a special session was called,
Travis served notice that he would
enforce the provisions If legislative ac-
ton were not taken. The old law is
mandatory and provides that permits
of the insurance companies be can
celled by the state department. Thus
the insurance companies are given no
option in remaining in business in
Kansas.
Practically all of the large old line
eastern stock companies are affected
by provisions of the bill and many
Kansas life companies write policies
covering benefits extended by the
down-east old line life companies.
