ST. Marks is unique among the
buildings of the world in respect of
its unparalleled richness of material
and decoration. AT one time there
was law requiring every merchant
trading to the East and bring back
some material for the adornment of
the fame, and it is now a vcritable
museum Of sculpture of the most va
ried kind nearly every century from
the fourth down to the latest Renais-
Sance being represented.
In plan, st. Mark is a Greek cross
of equal arms. covered by dome in
the center, AZ feet in diameter, and
by dome over each of the arms. The
plan is derived from the Church of
the Holy Apostles at Constantinople.
Tourists today find interest in the
vast number of pigeons which swarm
around the church and in st. Mark S
Square.

Venetians are fond of the legend,
whether true or not. for. as a matter
of fact, the saints body was brought
to Venice, in the year S2S, to repose in
the church that now bears his name.
At that time the church was put the

the action OF the licensing authori-
ties is not arbitrary and unjustified,
and is not a violation of the con-
stitutional requirement OF due pro-
cess of law, any licensing law should
provide that license may be can
celled only after notice and a
hearing before the insurance de-
partment, and that any person ag-
grieved by the refusal or cancella-
ton of a license may appeal to the
courts for relief.
"Wildcatters" Shut Out
In the third place. a licensing
law, such as we have in Connecticut.
aids substantially in shutting out OF
the state some irregular kinds OF in
surance business, which are based
essentially on a misleading of the
public. resident insurers except
life insurance companies can not Is
sue policy in Connecticut, unless it
is countersigned by a resident Ii
censed agent and no one can solicit
or procure insurance except on his
own person or property from any IN
surer not admitted to do business IN
the state, or can aid in the doing
of insurance business In the state by
any such insurer. Since an insurance
agent is only licensed to do business
in behalf of specific insurers. and
since an unauthorized insurer can
not have an agent in the state, and
since no contract of insurance, other
than for life insurance, effected in
Connecticut is valid without being
countersigned by resident licensed
agent, it is practically impossible to
carry on any irregular or wildcat
form Of insurance business in Con-
necticut.
1T is so manifestly desirable that
insurance companies shall not be
subjected to inconvenience and eX-
pense by unnecessary differences in
states in the methods of regulation
of their business. that ] am glad to
submit our system of licensing in
surance agents for your consider
alton.
in conclusion let me say that ]
esteem highly the privilege of ex-
pressing my views at a meeting
made pleasant by the hospitality of
Canadian hosts. 1t is. Il fine thing
that an international boundary
should not interrupt attempts at
unified methods of regulation of the
business done by much the same in

helpless) against insolvency or un-
just practices OF insurers impairing
the protection for which the insured
have paid. This duty appeals to us
with especial force in the case OF
insurance for which premiums have
been paid for many years at the sa-
crifice of otherwise obtainable en-
joyments and perhaps even of COM
mon comforts.
Moreover, since the parties to
contracts of insurance often meet on
very unequal terms Ga few great cor
pcrations standing over against
hundreds OF thousands of ineXper-
fenced and badly informed indlvid-
uals), it is also generally recognized
in North America that the state
should not only insist on sound fl
nancial conditions of all insurers do
ing business within its territory. but
should also intervene TO prevent and
correct impositions upon the insured
by ambiguous contracts or mislead-
ing representations or by manifest!v
unjust practices of any sort
But the business of insurance,
though affected with public inter
est, is after all private business. 1t is
an important function of convcn-
tons through conference and
mutual criticism to guard against
undue state interference with pri-
waite business by agreeing on such
policies as will secure adequate pro-
lection of the public interest with a
minimum of government meddling
with private BUSINESS.
Sound Standards Necessary
This means the ascertainment Of
sound standards to be applied con-
Sistently but not automatically and
without fear or favor to all who seek
to do an insurance business. In the
definition of such standards in leg
islation and administration no one
need be ashamed to recognize that
he is dealing with problems OF great
compleXity, and that the consensus
of expert study upon the part of
representatives of a body of super
vising officials is likely to yield SAT-
er and sounder. standard than the
individual caprices of superntend-
ents or legislators.
1T is certainly very desirable that
there should be uniformity OF prac-
tice in the regulation Of insurance.
Any unnecessary trouble or expense
which we cause to insurers by diff
terences in practices will inevita bly,
increase the cost of insurance to the
public, whose interests it is our es-
pecial duty to safeguard.
Fright here let me say also that
am advised by philosophical
friends that all experience proves the
existence of a tendency on the part
of administrative officials to assert

practically make it impossible 10

Speaking on THE Licensing OF

pointed out the desrability of hav-

While expressing himself as being
opposed to overregulation of private
