TEXAS. OFFICIALS TO
STOP 'BOOTLEGGINC'
OF FIRE INSURANCE
Permits to Be Denied All
Selling Policies as
Side Line.

Austin, Tex, April 17.-Drastic ac-
ton against so-called fire insurance
"bootleggers" in Texas has been OBJ
waited through the plan adopted by
Commissioner of Insurance John NJ.
Scott in declining to ,re-license per-
sons selling fire insurance as a side
line. Some time ago. an investigation
into this practice was instituted by
Commissioner Scott which disclosed
there were hundreds of persons hav-
ing licenses as fire insurance agents
who were in fact not bona fide insur-
ance agents but only sold insurance
as side line.
AT one time Commissioner johnson
contemplated the cancellation of ner-
mlts of certain insurance companies
where this practice was permitted on
a large scale. In the meantime. all
existing licences of agents in the state
expired on March /. 1t was then that
Commissioner Scott decided on the
plan of not renewing licenses to any
agent unless 1t was shown conclusive
ly that the agent WIS Il bona fide
agent and was not "bootlegging" in
surance on the side.
His activities were directed especial
ly at San Antonio and Dallas, and
at these places over 400 licenses were
not renewed. An investigation is
made of each applicant whose name
is submitted to the insurance depart
ment for license, and if it develops
that the applicant is engaged in other
business, and is endeavoring to make
extra money through writing fire in
surance, license is refused.
The plan involved large amount
of labor on the part of the department
of insurance, but it proved TO have
been effective. BY eliminating the
part time" agents, Commissioner
Scott said, it will place the insurance
business in Texas on a more stable
basis for the public and for the COM
panies.
