J. C. Haytor, prosldont of tho Orogon Stato Proas Association, nnd
pretty well versed In tho laws nnd history of tho stnto has an cdltorlnl
ontltled "Poor Protection," on tho Insurnnco laws of Orogen:
(Polk County Obsorvor.)
Tho btonnlnl roport of Secretory of Stato Dunbar ngnln romlndB us that
Orogon holdors of firo Insurnnco poll cle lost nothing by tho fnlluro of
Insurnnco companies which"? could' not survive tho San Francisco earth

Thoy didn't, uh? Well, wo hnppon to know of n fow bualnosB men

and, whnt's more, thoy haven't got It yet. Tho wrltor knows whoroof lie
apeaks, for tho vory simple reason that he happens to be among the
losers.
Siienklng further, tho Oregonlan says: ,
'Tho Oregon Inws requiring foroln Insiiranoe companies to mnko a de
liotlt of $60,000 lu approved ,bonds gave the peoplo of this stnte nmplo
protection. The Inw was en noted not only to provide ngnlnst dishonest
Insurance companies, but alto ngalnet honest companies thnt meet over
whelming reverses."
After lengthy correspondence, with the state officer, nnd nfter having
employed nn attorney to thoroughly examine nnd Interpret this greatly
praised and little-understood Insurance law, we are firmly convinced that
IT ISXT WOUTII THK PAPKIt IT IS PIUXTHD OX, when It comes to a
matte rnf protection to small policy-holders. Instead of taking someone
else's word for It that this law Is n grand protectlvo monsuro, ns tho peo
ple generally have Inclined to do, every policy-holder In Orogon should
obtain a copy of the law and glvo It n careful roadlng, Wo bollovo that
nfter giving It n dote study, tho majority would agree with us thnt TIIK
I.AW COULD NOT IIAVK HKHX MADH MOKK FAVOHAHLK TO THK
1XSUUAXCK COMPAXIKS had thoywrltten It themselves, (which thoy
probably did).
The law sounds vory fine, on first rending, but let tho reader begin
lo plan how he would proceed under Its provisions to collect n small
claim nnd he will eco what ho Is up against.
Tho writer may possibly get his unearned premium returned some day
by tho "busted" San Francisco company, but ho Is not borrowing any
money on tho strongth of his claim.
OUKCOX XHKDS A FAIIt, SKXSU1LK UVW FOU THK HKOULATIOX
AND COXTHOL OF IXSUIIAXCK COMPAXIKS ono that will really
rogulato and control them and It Is hoped that tho legislature will do
Its duty and pass tho law now being drafted by tho business mon of
Portland, or somo other effective moasuro along, tho. samo line, THU
