V Life insurance men say that from all the indications in evidence at this time, it is practically certain that the next legislature will 'enacr a law covering the important question of lifo insurance. Tho legislative cominitteo of the Vtah Association of Life Underwriters is already al-ready actively engaged in securing data and "facts to submit to the insurance branch of both legislative bodies, and hope to secure during this session an earlier consideration of tho mutter than they did two years ago. when the. rush of business at thojast moment resulted in the failure of important plans. The life men will ask but few changes in the measure proposed and favored two vears ago. as it is thought to cover nearly near-ly all the vital needs of tho business and is similar to laws in effect iu many other states. , Life underwriters from this city who attended the nineteenth annual convention conven-tion of the national association al Los Angeles August IS to 21 speak enthusiastically enthu-siastically of the affair and many expressions" ex-pressions" of the good results to the business are heard. The convention was said to bo re; markable for two reasons. First, because be-cause it was the first convention of the kind over held west of Chicago and, second, because the whole tendency of the convention was to attack what life insurance men allege is the greatest evil of the business, that of "twisting." "twist-ing." Speakers emphasized tho fact that every company of standing, reputation repu-tation and solvency iu the world recognizes rec-ognizes the impossibility of transferring transfer-ring a policv holder from one good eom-I eom-I pany to another, without loss to the policy pol-icy "holder, to the companies, to the cause of insurance and to all concerned, except the agent effecting the alienation, aliena-tion, and he loses every time he wins, because he wins at tho cost of the con- ' fiden'ce of his victim, undermining the : whole system, which is built upon cjiv j ! fidenee, affection and arithmetic. Four days of hard work were sue- j j ceeded by "a number of days of enter- j j taiument furnished by tho cities of , Los Antreles. San Francisco and Salt ! Lake. These commenced with a ban- quct given at the Hotel Virginia at 1 j Long Beach. Trips were made to Cat a- lina island, to the Ostrich farm, to 1 Mount Lowe, Pasadena. Del Monte and other places, at the expense' of the Cali- j fornia associations. There were dole- j ! gates from twenty-one states of the j I United States. The Canadian delegation j failed to come. ! ! Three-fifths of the entire delegation ! i returned home by way of Salt t Lake j City and were entertained here. "After ! I a full day spent iu this city thev de-j de-j dared the entertainment here the most I enjoyable of any during the entire trip. 1 |
