In the way of an abuse of the power

realizing that any attempt at com
plete revision Trithout careful study
and investigation would lead only to
confusion, the last legislature content
ed itself ' with" passing a law which
removed a few, of the most apparent
abuses and provided' for the estab
lishment of a department of Insur
ance, which was to have general sup
ervision over all companies doing bus
iness in, this state. The wisdom of this
move is borne out by the results ob
tained In the past two years. The pro
hibiting of combinations and rate
agreements between fire companies
and the opening up of the field of
competition has resulted in a reduc
tion of about 20 per cent in rates and
means an anaual saving of about
$500,000 to the policy-holders of this

I his duty, before placing the' order
with the state Printer, to inquire care
fully into' the requirements' of the

order that no more than the amount
necessary to serve its needs be order

that : under tho "help yourself sys

of printed matter are ordered and
used only for fuel.
A great saving could be made If
the different departments would boll
down their annual reports end elim
