Wright has incorporated in Ills annual report and recommendations 10 the general assembly urgent ’re quests for such laws. In 18*7, an act was passed for adequate state super vision of lire, life, accident and surety companies, both domestic and foreign. It has proven efficient, and under It policyholders In this state have been adequately protected. hot adequate laws for regulating mutual nnd co-operative Are compa nies live stock Insurance companies, anci ’fraternal orders operated thru the lodge or council system do not exist lr Georgia. Within a period of prac tically two yeans—1006 nnd 1907—live stork Insurance companies'sprang up In all parts of the’ state. All, or prac tically »H. were operated on the assess ment plan. Few of them have survived up to this lime, and within a year or so It Is doubtful If even one will be in exist ence. And as they fall by the wayside they take with them the money of the credulous. Victims do not seem lack ing for any sort of scheme. Old Lins Safeguarded. Under the act of 1887 the Insurance sonimlssioner Is empowered .to employ an expert actuary, who examines Into the affairs of the old line legal reserve companies, lie takes the several kinds of-policies written by such companies nnd passes upon them, figuring as to the ability of the; company to legiti mately core for any class of policy Isiued. If he finds a policy that Is dangerous or questionable lie reports the fact to the commissioner, who can forbid Its further Issuance. Assessment life or benefit companies writing policies of 1600 or under are required to make a deposit of *5,000, and those writing mops than *500 are required to make a deposit of *20,000. In the matter of assessment or co operative tire companlee the law re quires no deposits with the state. In the case of all such companies named the commissioner has no Juris diction whatever over their policy con tracts. In the case of'the assessment life companies, when evidence Is fur nished that any death benefit I* not i-aid that should be paid he can re yoke the license. In the case of the Are companies It Is a slow* and devious court proceed ing. When It Is reported that such companies fall to moet legitimate losses, the Insurance commissioner di rects the attorney general to call on the officers to show Cause why legal wtion should not be taken against Hhem. Commissioner’* Recommendation, In his report of H««. Insurance Com- nnlwloner Wright sayst "1 tun gratified to. state that my re tested recommendations that both do mestic and non-resident assessment life and Industrial Insurance companies, issuing to do business In Georgia, he squired to make deposits In this state for the security of policy-holders, resulted In the enactment of such laws. The acts, however, do not apply to Are imtpanles or live stock companies, perated on the assessment plan, nor to fraternal orders operated on the lodge Ian. The result haa been that the late Is I/Cine Aooded with this doss ■f companies, many of which are or ganized and managed by persons ab- tlulslv without Ananclal responsibility nl -iinracter, and who prey upon the '"•r and Ignorant of both racea. "Under those conditions I deem It my duty to renew my recommendation that all such Institutions be required to make ili |m*tt* of reasonable sums with ihe state treasurer before receiving the suite's license to conduct business, nnd urge also that provisions be made for the Insurance commissioner to exam ine thsir methods of business and pass "0 their solvency anil responsibility. Companies of tills character tieceeearily receive business from the poor and la boring people of both the white and colored races who can only afford to «rry a little Insurance for the benefit "f their famines. “This being true, the state should at 'vest give to this class of her cltlsens »uch pi.itcctton as Is afforded policy holders In the companies which ore new required to make deposits with lb.- stale treasurer. The extrentely l ■">'< provisions of our statute regu- I 'Mig the incorporation of such com- panlis and associations, as well as granting them licenses, have tended to encourage the organisation of a con- •■"'lerablo number of such, and In many by persons without Aftamial re- sponslblllty, or even experience In the ■miner of such enterprises, and In TWO ARE KILLED AND SCORE KURT IN TRAIN WRECK Fast Passenger Collides Head-On With Freight Near Raleigh.
