nn Lmportast message relating to in-
surance legislation. Accompanying the
tisssage were the report and recom
mendations of the Chicago lusurance
convention Among the recommends-
tions is the draft of a bill which con-
gress Is urged to enact into Jaw, with
such smendments ss (ts wisdom nay
suggest
The president urges the enactment
of the proposed mensure, as, he says,
“we are not to be pardoned If we fall
to take every step In our power to pre
vent the possibility of the repetition of
such scandals us those that have oc
curred in connection with the lusur
ance busivess ax disclosed by the Arm-
strong committee”
Tle text of the president's messuge
follows:
recommendations of the Chicago lusur
ance convention. The convention was
metheds recently made by the Arwm-
strong legislative committes of the
state of New York, the suggestion that
it should be called coming to me origi-
nally from Governor John A. Johnson
of Minnesota through Commissioner of
Insurance Thomas O'Brien of that
state.
“The convention consisted of about a
hundred governors, attorneys general
and commissioners of Inqprance of the
states and territories of the Union. The
convention was seeking te accomplish
uniformity of Insurance legislation
throughout the states and territories
god as a prime step toward this pur
pose decided to etdenvor to secure the
ensctment by the congress of the Unlt-
od Btates of a proper Insurance code
for the District of Columbia, which
might serve as a model for the several
states.
“Before adjourning the convention
appeluted a committee of three attor
neys gemeral and twelve comuission-
ers of insurance of the various states
to prepare and have preseuted to the
songress a bill which abould embody
the features suggested by the couven
tion. The committee recently met In
Chicago and In thorough and palnstak-
ing fashion sought to prepare a bill
which should be at once protective of
policy holders and fair and just to in-
surance companies sud which should
prevent the gruver evils and abuses of
the business and at the sawe time fore-
stall any wild or drastic legislation
which would be more harmful than
beneficial.
“I very earnestly hope that the con-
gress at the earliest opportunity will
enact this bill into law, with such
changes as its wisdom Indicates. I
bave no expert familiarity with the
business, but 1 have entire faith In the
right judgment and single minded pur-
pose of the insurance convention which
met at Chicago and of the committee
of that convention which formulated
the measures herein advocated.”
