OBJECT OF BOARD
OF
House Creates Body to In
vestigate “Wild Cat”
Companies.
By a vote of 85 to 43 the house of
representative* Tuesday morning pass
ed the resolution of Mr. Barksdale, of
Wilkes, providing for tho creation of a
hoard of legislative Insurance informa
tion.
The resolution provides that the
board shall consist of five members of
the legislature, who shall be appointed
by the governor, and who shall receive
a salary of $4 per day during the time
they are In session. The bill also pro
vides for the payment of clerks and
stenographers who may be needed by
the board.
The purpose of the appointment of
the commission is to Investigate the
insurance conditions In this state with
a view to- enacting laws that will put
■ 'it «*f business the “wild cat” compa-
: that do business In Georgia nt the
‘■spense <>f the unsuspecting public.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, opposed the
' ill upon the ground that It Involved
to ° much expense, because tho board
"ns not confined to any section of the
s'ate, but could hold their sittings In
arv section of the Union and have their
expenses paid at the samo time,
j Mr. Hill, of Monroe, remedied this
•I'-reet by an amendment, which pro-
■ded that all hearings shall be held at
the state capitol.
The house was called to order by
* leaker Slaton at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
On motion of Mr. Anderson, of Bul
loch, Mr. Tyson, of Emanuel, was ap
pointed a member of the general Judi
ciary committee, he having recently
been admitted to the bar.
On motion of Mr. Wright, of Floyd,
the house voted to meet at 9 o’clock
Wednesday morning. Instead of 10
o’clock, ns has been the custom. The
vote upon the motion was 93 to 30.
Mr. Martin, of Elbert, offered a res
olution that the floor of the house be
tendered to the Farmers’ Union, now
In session in Atlanta, on any afternoon
that the legislature was not In session.
The resolution was adopted. ....
Mr. Bell, of Fulton, offered a resolu- tiielr utmost 'now *1*

tlon that the secretary of state be re
quested to furnish electric fans and
other cooling devices for the use of the
house of representatives. Tho resolu
tlon was unanimously adopted.
The resolution of Mr. Barksdale, of
Wilkes, providing for the creation of
bureau of legislative Insurance infor
motion was put on Its passage. It pro
vldes that the governor. shall appoint
five members from the legislature, who
shall constitute the bureau, and who
shall Investigate Insurance conditions
In this state and draw up a bill to meet
those conditions. The members of the
board are to receive a salary of IS per
das’, when In session, and their ex
penses.
The commltteo on Insurance offered
a. substitute for the bill, providing that
the members of the board shall only
receive $4 per day.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, was opposed to
the passnge of the resolution. He de
clared that It would cost the state 15,000
or 110,000 each year; that the money
to be paid them for expenses was un
limited, and tl(it no good would come
of It after the board waa appointed.
Mr. Hill, of Monroe, supported the
resolution. He declared that the state
Is Hooded with "wet weather Insurance
companies," which are robbing the peo
pie of the state. He said that the peo
ple of Ueorgla are paying <50,000,000
annually In premiums and that they
should be protected.
Mr. Burwell, of Hancock, spoke, at
some length In favor of the resolution.
Mr. Alexander’s Speech.
Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb, spoke In
support of the resolution. He declared
that the state of Georgia 1s being plun.
dered by Insurance companies, which
are fraudulently conducted. He stated

premiums by lire Insurance companies

•Doesn’t thl* question border very
closely on the question of freight
rates?” asked Mr. Wright, of Floyd.
“They may be somewhat similar,”
replied Mr. Alexander.
’’Then why can’t we settle the que*
tlon of proper Insurance legislation
by letting these people come before
committees without having to appoint
a commission at a vast expense to tho
state?”
To this question Mr. Alexander re
plied that the state has a railroad com
mission to Investigate matters pertain
ing to railroad legislation; that they
are backed by wide authority, and that
there Is a proposition before the legis
lature to Increase It to five.
Mr. Hill, of Monroe, offered an
amendment to the effect that the hear
ings of the commission shall be con*
fined to the state capitol.
The resolution was adopted by sub
stitute by a vote of 85 to 43.
