BOSTON WANTS CONGRESS TO HAVE THE POWER TO REGULATE INSURANCE Proposal for Constitutional Amend ment Made By Senator Sherman at Sen. Francisco The Regulations Ought to Be National and Not Lo cal, Says Statesman (By the United Press) San Francisco, Oct. 11. A pro posal for a constitutional amendment to give Congress power to provide uniform regulation of insurance com panies in order that the burden on the companies may be lightened, was made recently by Senator Law rcnce Y. Sherman, addressing the World's Insurance Congress. Senator Sherman, it Is understood, will be in the race for the Republic an nomination for president at the coming convention, and will probably be backed by the entire Illinois dele gation. "The regulations under which life insurance business is done ought to be national and not local," he said. "It has risen to the dignity, importance and power of a national undertaking. It totals, measured by money alone, more than the transportation lines of the United States. No single line of human effort reaches so generally every walk and condition of life. The hundreds of millions of investments that safeguard life insurance con tracts, the many hundreds of millions of policies carried, the vast responsi bilities entailed are without a single regulation of government of the Unit ed States, It is proper now to insti tute a movement so as to amend the Federal constitution to give Con gress such power. Let it be done in telligently and in the name of justice. A united effort will succeed. Tem porary defeat must not discourage, but serve as the motive for future in treased effort. "We meet under conditions that have changed the world. Even neu tral nations no longer feel secure. No 'nite hox tne pennant. Before r,d treaty seems sacred. Barbaric force I die came, the White Sox knew they is still the substitute for justice in j couldn't steal bases, go from first to half the world. The destruction of j third on an infield hit, or pull any of life and material resources is unpar- j alleled. ' The war debt will exceed the I limits of imagination. The taxable wealth and productive energy of the future are pawned to the present and dedicated to sacking cities and in- j dsicriminate butchery. Who remains I to define modern civilization after a I year of modern war! All human af fairs end. The benediction of peace will sometime hallow the battlefields of Europe. The era of builder will then dawn, but on him will be the unceasing toll of the tax-gatherer. As the war has changed the world, so has it changed economic condi tions and old methods of living. The extravagance and prodigality of the past are drawing to a close. The spendthrift and the heedless, the idler and the incompetent will have less chance than before. The world will be forced to a higher measure of economy and productiveness. "In the reconstruction of the eco nomic -and the social justice fabric following the world-wide change in conditions, life insurance is destined to assume an increased and powerful influence. It is one of the greatest instru ments to promote self-support and protect the family known to civilized society. The legislator who sees in it only an enterprise to be burdened whenever taxes are to be paid has not analyzed well the relation between. national strength and private individ ual support, the solvency of the fam ily or its responsible head."
