Will Moore, Hate Insurance
conimisaiuDer, advised thia atler
nuun that Insurance mn of the
tate are seeking a legislative Jo
TcBtigation ot bis actiun in turn
ing over tbe busiueea o( tbe de
lunct Coast Mutual Kire Insurance
eoninany to Build Jonea A com
pany ot Portland (or a reieauaice
ot tbe policies, declared tbat be
would welcome and aid such an
Investigation in every manner pos
ible.
"Owing to heavy lire loasea tbe
Coast Mutual 'ire Insurance com-
nany was unable to meet Its ouu
aatlona. and It was therefore
necessary to arrange some plan by
which the losses and other Indebt
edness ot tbe company could be
paid," said Mr. Moore.
"Tbe regular plan would have
been to assess all members tnel.'
prorata share; with tbe new plan
It u, optional with policy holders
to either accept a new policy, or
pay an assessment In the old com
pany. "The first plan suggested was
to ask the court to appoint a re
rvivar. This woLld automatically
have cancelled every policy and
left the policy holders without any
fire Drotcction until they were
advised ot tbe appointment ot
receiver and were able to place
their insurance with some other
enimianv. It would also make
much expense, as the organization
would have to be kept Intact for
the nurposo of levying and col
lictinir assessments. This, It wan
estimate, wnuli'. amount to $20,
000, all of which would have to
be paid by the policy holders.
"The other nlan. that of allow
ing Mr. ones to ro-writo the In
surant gives the policy holders
cc itinucil protection. As this in
surance is all w:tten at bureau
rates It docj not tist the policy
bolder any more than insurance In
any oth : company. The commis
sion Duid by Mr. Jones on this
business together with the other
assets of the company, will. It all
policies are accepted, provido suf
ficient funds to pay all legitimate
clalniB against the Coast Mutual
This was muilo possible through
the fact that the expense of a re
ceivership is savec'. This plan was
bo much better for the policy hold
ers than the other that 1 gave It
my approval and have not hesi
tated to advise every one to ac
cept and pay for the new policies.'

brought no results. Kvery wiine
there le a visibile reluctanco to t e

Amended Bonus Bill
Defeats Purpose of
Act; Changes Asked
Members of the legislature are
today having their attention
pointed directly to the need for
closer scrutiny of measures pre
sented to them as they face the
probpect of having to correct the
defects In tbe amendment to the
bonus law pawed by both nouuefc
during the 1923 session and rati
fled by a vote of tbe people in tbe
.November election.
Attempts of the bonus commis
sion to apply the amended law
Have revealed that it Is replete Willi
jokers, and correction of the do
fects is being asked at this session
The purpose or the amendment
wae to etiend to veterane of the
Spanish-American war and
women who served in any branch
of the army and navy either of
the United States or its allies all
oi tbe benefits of the bonus act.
By reason of the defective
phraseology o' the amendment
which reads, "female employes of
me war department who served In
be signal corps of the army cr
marine corps, tLose women who
were connected with the marine
corps are disqualified, because the
war department and the marine
corpa are separate and distinct
branches of tile government and
employe of thj marine corns
cannot ue an employe ot the war
department.
The second Joker discriminates
agalnHt the veteran who now ap
plies lor a cash bonus, as against
his comrade who applied prior to
he amendment of the law. in that
the applicant now is entitled to
only $255, whereaa the bonueefi
paid under tho original law were
$425 for the same maximum pr-

lod ot service. This was brought
about by changing the dates of
service by which veterans are all-
Klble for the bonus. The original
law provided tbat tbe service of
applicants should be between
April 6, 1917, and November 11
1919. The amendment make, tbe
dates April S, 1917, to November
II, 1918.
Persona who served In tbe navy
or man 'e corps of the United
states or lu allies are not eligible
to receive any of tbe benefit, of
the bonus law, because of the de
r cts of the amendment, while
those who served In the army of
tne united states or Its allies are
entitled to either the cash bonus,
or a loan.
Relatives of veterans who have
died since being discharged from
tae service are also deprived of
eligibility for a loan. Under the
original act these relatives could
secure a loan, but the amendment
bars tbe relatives ot all except
those who actually died In the
servic.
In one place the amendment ex
tends both the loan and cash
bonus privileges to veterans of the
Spanish-American war, and In An
other section re3tricts these veter
ans to loans.
