Show UTAH STATE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT By All the Gods of Petty VIEWS OF WESTERN DEMOCRATS ARE Another Delay In ; RENDERS VERY IMPORTANT SERVICE EXPOUNDED AT OGDEN CONFERENCE Truman Ferry Case TO POLICY CARRIERS OF THE STATE Politics This is the Time to Help the Fanner. - ABILITY OF COMPANIES TO MEET OBLIGATIONS IS THOR- OUGHLY CHECKED AT REGULAR INTERVALS. J. By G. McQuarrie It ia probable that there are very few people in the etate who have any idea aa to the proportion to which inanrance haa grown and its association with nearly every form of our .business activities, and few understand, or appreciate, the free service that is given to the residents of the state through the inanrance department. -- The potential value o f insurance in Utah is in round numbers 9515,000,000. This amounts to .a little more than 75 per cent of the total value of all the property in the state. These values are attested by insurance policies or contracts, one or more of which are held by nearly every family in the state. It Is the business of the insurance department especially to see to it that the Insurance companies which undertake to guarantee life values and Indemnify property losses have sufficient cash or liquid assets to meet every probable liability. . AUDITS MADE. In order to give this service convention examinations in which several states participate are held at least once in three years. Expert accountants are employed to make these audits snd reporta. The auditors are appointed by and are responsible only to the insurance commissioner making the appointment. The expense, however, is borne by the companies examined. While the insurance companies aim to pay every Just claim there are sue to be sane border-lin- e esses, especially where the policies have to do with health and accident claims. Sometimes there is a failure on the part of the insured to comply with technical provisions; sometimes the facts are not properly presented to the company. During the last biennium we have adjusted something over fifty contested claims. This represents probably 1 per cent of claims paid. Nearly $20,-00- 0 have been collected In this way for residents of the state. There is no fee of any kind attached to this service. Every complaint submitted has had prompt and continuous attention until a settlement has been secured. Ninety-eigh- t per cent of the claims, or complaints, entertained and investigated have resulted in the claim being paid to the Insured. MONEY FOR STATE. The biennial report for 1925-192- 6 shows that $410,000 in taxes and fees was collected by the department and passed over to the state treasurer, to be applied in defraying the general expenses of the state. This is $62,000 more than was collected In any previous biennium. This may be accounted for pertly In Increase or business, but it Is at least an evidence of a careful checking up and a watchful care of the1 states business. The expense to the state of running the department during the past biennium was $11,000. This would represent about 5 per cent of tbe taxes and fees paid Into the state by insurance companies. REPUBLICANS OF BUTTE CO., IDAHO, ENDORSE BORAH County Central Committee Resolution of Support Senior Senator. ' Passes for ARCO.liaho. United States Senator William E. Borah of Idaho will be the next president of the United States if Butte countv Republicans have the say so. Last Monday afternoon the county central committee met in convention at the city hall in Arco and unanimously passed a resolution endorsing Idaho's senior senar tor for the high honor. The call to convention was Issued last week by County Chairman T. J. Paul and was responded to by a dozen well known Republicans, representing tbe several precincts in the county. Alter a discussion of the matter, the following resolution was placed before tbe gathering on motion and it passed without a dissenting vote. A. 8. Packer, secretary of the organisation, was Instructed to submit a copy of the resolution to the Republican state central committee and Senator Borah. The resolution follows: The Butte county Republican central committee in convention assembled this 19th day of September, 1927, passed the following resolution of en- dorsement unanimously. Having utmost confidence in the statesmanship of our senior United States senator, William E. Borah, and believing that the time has arrived when a western man shall be elected to this . high and exalted office of president of United States, we heartily endorse the proposed candidacy of William E. Borah. Believing him particularly fitted to be president of the United States, we urge the Republican organisation of the state of Idaho to use every honorable means at their command to promote his candidacy at the next nar tlonal convention, to the end that a man familiar with International, national and particularly western needs and desires may be a candidate for president on the Republican ticket in 1928.

WITH OTHER EDITORS THE DEMOCRATS IN 192S What will the Democrats do at their next national convention T This la a question which la being naked by the leaders of both major political parties but thus far no one seems to have a very clear conception of what may bo expected from those who will domlnat the convention machinery. This much Is certain. Governor A1 Smith of New York will play no unimportant role In the proceedings. The prestige be haa obtained from being thrice nominated and elected governor of the moat .populous state In the union haa made him presidential material of no mall else. He hae ability. He haa a pleaalng personality. He haa made an excellent record as chief executive of the Empire etate. He understands the psychology of both the banker and the hod carrier. He Is the only man in the Democratic party with sufficient courage, ability and prestige to give his party hope Even hia political enemies admit that he haa a mind of a high order. They concede that he haa great strength and genuine executive ability. They place no question marks after his Integrity or his courage. They merely etate that he la a member of the Roman Catholic church and that he is frankly of the opinion that the Volstead act la a mistake which should be righted by legislative enactment Therefore, he should be drawn and quartered and the remains thrown to the sacred crowe of bigotry. Let ua first take up the position of Governor Smith on tbe repeal of the Volstead act We will etate very frankly that In our opinion he la honest in his convictions and that irrespective of the merit of his views on this subject we reaped any man for having sufficient courage to express them. The liquor question however, should be settled on the convention flow when the platform la written and approved. Governor Smith haa never violated a platform pledge and It Is our opinion that his acceptance of a nomination would mean. that he would carry out in both letter end spirit every pledge nude In his partys declaration of p plcnlrsl.ee taoin qnor question should he left to the platfinm committee and should not act as a bar to the only outstanding Democrat thus far presented for presidential honors. Second, we art told that It would not be right or proper to nominate a member of the Roman Catholic church for president. Since when has a record of being a communicant of a church become a liability In a presidential contest? ' Are we living In a Christian stats and nation? Must a church record walk bend In hand with a Jail record ea a bar to political office? Speaking as a communicant of a creed which is not subscribed to by tne New York governor, we feel that nothing could be more unjust or more Inexcusable than to make bigotry the dominant note of the next Democratic national convention.
