new INSURANCE ORDER
Superintendent of Insurance to Check
Up Kansas Life Companies.

Frank L. Travis, state superintend-
ent of insurance, today issued a drastic
and sweeping order affecting ap-
prevail of policies issued by Kansas
life insurance companies. Under his
decree policies of domestic companies
will not be registered until the depart-
ment has had an opportunity to deter
mine whether legal reserves are up to
legal requirements. -
In a notice sent to domestic .jfe
C. mpanies today Travis said his pres
ent office force is inadequate - ham
dl9 the work. He said lack of funds
did not permit him to maintain suffi-
cient help to enable him to keep re-
serve figures up to date. Under his
ruling policies sent for registration
will be held up or returned without
registry unless provision is made by
the legislature for necessary office
assistants.
Recently it was found that the
Bankers Life Insurance company of
OIathe was $4,000 below its required
reserve. The discovery was not made,
tho until the company went down in
the Pettyjohn crash. Thavis stated
today that he feared the department
might be held liable in event a COM
pany failed to maintain it's required
reserve. Consequently he will take no
chances
