Work
(By United Press)

Madison, Resumption of
the Smith Ekern feud of the 1926
session of the state legislature was
seen today in an article containing
extracts from the seth annual re-
port.
"For the past two years the In
surance department has been great
ly handicapped in it's efforts to pro-
mote insurance principles and bet
ter insurance practices in the var
ious branches of insurance by rea-
son of the lack of friendly and eff
cient cooperation from the Attor-
ney Generals department.
ga serious and fundamental queS-
ton of public policy has arisen by
reason of the persistence of the
present attorney general in con-
tinuing his connections as officer,
stakeholder, actuary and attorney
for various insurance interests in
the state"
Smith suggests in his report
that special counsel with coordin-
ate powers and independent of the
Attorney Generals department be
provided for the insurance depart
ment.
