' Albany, N. Y. Jan. 3 In the legislature
today after the Higgins message was
sH. the municipal ownership league in
troduced a bill providing that penvssion I
be granted New York City to buy or con
struct and. operate (as and electric
lighting plants and street railroads to be
paid for by selling public service certifi
cates. Higgins' message says the problem
that confronts the state insurance regu
lation is how to curb, not to kill, how to
preserve, not tear down. He told the
legislators that they were called upon to
make a radical revision of the law for tfce
benefits of investors in life insurance and
for the regulation and restraint of tie
companies. He says the policies should
be of standard form to eradicate abuses
arising from ambiguity, complicity and
incompleteness of contract He demands
that full publicity be assured.
In concluding Higgins declared that if
the legislature failed to pass an insurance
law, drastic but practable, radical but
sane in spirit, courageous but not hyster
ical. It would fail to meet the expecta
tions of those who have confidence in the
ability of a popular government to solve
its own problems. .' ' .
Senator Brancknett introduced a reso
lution requesting Senator Depew to re
sign forthwith on account of the disclos
ures in the insurance matter. Ha de
clares that the public has lost confidence
in Depew and in his ability.

forty years. I have been president four
