The Insurance Trust The thirty-eighth annual report of State Insurance Commissioner Wolfe has been transmitted to the governor. The document sets forth the large earnings of the insurance companies doing business in this state for the last twenty years. It also includes Prof. Whitney's list of companies, which were involved by the fire last April, and their conduct toward policy holders, therefore, becomes a document of public record. Considerable legislation is recommended in the report. The record shows that during the twenty years prior to January 1, 1906, the fire insurance companies had collected in premiums in California $130,-983,775, and paid out in losses $75,818,-833. Statistics from the office of County Recorder Peters show that in 1906 there were 11,836 instruments filed, the fees being $11,269.25. The expenses of the office, including salary for the year, were $4019.35. The number of instruments filed in 1905 was 9471 and in 1904 the number was 7509. In 1903 the number was 6530. Mrs. Mary J.

Review the work of the last grand jury of Orange county. Take for instance the criticism of the Los Alamitos sugar factory. First let it be said that this is a business enterprise taking its place in good and regular standing with other meritorious institutions within the borders of the county. That it dispenses benefits in a purely business way, and that the number of accidents are few considering the magnitude of the business, no sane man will deny with all the facts placed before him. But the methods pursued by the grand jury were such that the accused had no opportunity for defense, as no witnesses were called. Had they been it could have been shown that nine times out of ten the accidents are due to the carelessness of those who are injured. Now comes a member of the grand jury, a former employee of the sugar factory, who through his ited, who against tha advice of the other members, sees and opportunity to play have witnesses sub- No! For then the re- come out. It coul shown that the latest dent was the result o own carelessness; pl scuffling, instead of his duties. In all fairness, best port becomes public lished far and wide i pers, the accused sho given a hearing. Be ish the system.
