Tho agent's interest in tho subae- ejuent or renewal cf all commissions Is ! also curtailed. In some of tho small or companies the agenta have been get ting a commission on the premiums , throughout the life of the policy. Many I of the larger companies have never paid touch commlaalona, so their Portland representatives , say. ' On endowment policies tho agent waa limited to I per cent of tha renewal premiums for nine yeara 'ne larger companlea paid only I per centi On all 1 other ; policies the agent waa limited to 1' per cent by The larger companlea paid I per cent ror the same period. That the companlea withdrawing from New Tork will secure a great deal of bualneaa through tha medium of the trained - agenta they will perauade to leave the other companies Is recognised as a fact by the local managera.

People will take hla word for tha solvency of his company, and I believe that tor a time we shall loae bualness." I But that the companlea remaining in New Tork will eventually win out is the opinion of nearly every agent In Portland. At Chicago recently the In surance commissioners of SO states met aad framed a law which la Juat aa atrin- cent aa the Armstrong, law in the mat- ter of curtailing expenses, but which I tiaai not the objectionable features of I tha New Tork act. and will present it lo au the state legislatures that will meet In HOT. The legislatures will be asaed to pass the law. and It 1s believed that many of them will do ao. It la I said that a determined effort will be I made to secure the enactment of the I law In Oregon. The state now has no ( regular Insurance commissioner, and the lire, fire and marine underwriters of I old companlea have long complained that any lneolvent company of another 1 state may do bualneaa here if It paya the license. Such companies, they ear, cut greatly Into their bualneaa; also that there is no protection for people taking out policies In these eomnanlea Of the effect of the law In New Tork ( ; . a dispatch received thla morning says: "All the companies must file with the superintendent of Insurance detailed re ports of their condition today.
