Excerpt from Report to Governor Edward F. Dunne on Investigation of Fire Insurance Conditions and Rates in Illinois I have continued this investigation and find that the fire insurance business is illegally and oppressively conducted in Illinois and its methods demand radical legislative reform. The most objectionable feature disclosed is the usurpation by the stock fire insurance companies of powers, rights, and privileges not incident to their business and detrimental to the best interests of the people of this State. Such usurpation is accomplished by means of a nation-wide system of inter locking organizations, comprising all company officials from the president to the local agent, with controlling boards domi usted by Eastern influence.

Excerpt from Report of the Industrial Insurance Commission to the Governor of Illinois Wms, The limited time at the disposal of the present session of the General Assembly is insufficient to take up, much less carefully and fully consider, the important subject of industrial insurance including pensions for aged workers, protective measures in the interest of workingmen, which in other countries have proved of great value and benefit; and, Wmms, Even in the most favored countries the margin between work and want is an exceedingly narrow one; besides there can be no apprehension more keen or pitiless than the constant clinging dread shared equally by all wealth producers that misfortune in the form of sickness, the liability to become incapacitated through accident or by time's inevitable advance ac companied by waning strength, there will be lacking the means necessary for ordinary maintenance. This most melancholy fact, of which all are conscious, poisons the present and fills the future with fears. The so-called civilized industrialism of our day can be subject to no stronger criticism than the charge fortified by universal experience, that the men and women whose productive energy have contributed so much to our wealth, progress and development, leading simple, unexpensive lives, become in their declin ing years powerless, principally because they are penniless; and.

Excerpt from Report on Fire Insurance Duties Sir, In obedience to the instructions I had the honour to receive from you at the end of last July, I have examined, to the best of my ability, the operation of the taxes laid upon insurances against loss by fire, and the probable effects of some suggested modifications of one of those taxes, and I now respectfully submit to you the result of my inquiries. In pursuing them I have received the most valuable assistance from Mr. Pressly, the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, and the zealous officers of that department with whom he placed me in communication, and to him I owe the benefit resulting from an introduction to the secretaries and managing officers of insurance companies paying amongst them not less than six-sevenths of the whole duty, and of course transacting that proportion of the fire insurance business of the United Kingdom, and probably greatly more than that same proportion of the English insurances on property in the Colonies and abroad. From many of these gentlemen (and I am especially bound to name Mr. Beaumont, of the County Fire Office, ) I have received the most ready and unreserved information on all matters upon which I saw occasion to consult them. I have, for the most part, confined my inquiries, and have in all cases confined my remarks, to the operation of the duties in England and Wales.
