BEach company is pursuing its own course independently of all otners, so it is reported, and each is making its settlements in its own way. In this way each company is making its own history, good or bad. Insurance Commissioner Wolf has not begun to prepare his list of “good” and “bud” companies yet. Some time will | elapse before the Situation can be fully | cleared up. A full understanding is ! necessary before a list can be made ac- | curately. Insurance Commissioner Wolf ex-| plained yesterday the method he will pursue in making up his lists of ‘‘good” | insurance companies and ‘bad” con- | cerns for general distribution among | the insurance commisisoners of the United States and the newspapers. *1 consider a company good that lives {up to its moral obligations and a bad |one a company that fails to do that,” | he said. : ¥ | “Insurance policies are continually modified,” continued the Commissioner, | | “to meet court decisions,.and they are | made to embrace a great number of | conditions that the men who pay pre- | | miums never read and would not un- | derstand the full drift of if they read them all. The companies claim that | they are.compelled to include the pro- | visions in their policies to guard them- | selves against imposition. But the .- derstanding is that when a man pays | his money for a policy, whert he insures | his property, he will get fair treatment | | if he is burned out. If he does not get | it, there is something wrong. BROWBEAT POOR PEOPLE. “I do not consider an insurance com- | pany good that deliberately resorts to { browbeating poor men and women who have lost their all by fire and go to the local offices to see when they can get their money to rebuild their homes. 1 think that a company that resorts to technicality to avoid paying its legiti- mate losses under the plea that it is compelled to be as close s possible to protect its policy-holders in other parts of the worid comes under the head of a bad company. “As T said before, there is a moral obligation upon ‘the companies as well as a legal obligation.

SOME COMPANIES WORTHY. “Some of the companies, as I learn,| are paying up and are settling as they ought to act.
