lire and lightning insurance companies, this money, 

 amounting annually to millions of dollars, can be saved. 

 And, 



Whereas, the present law confining the territory of 

 these companies to six townships, makes their establish- 

 ment more difficult. Therefore, be it 



Resolved, That we ask our Legislature to so amend the 

 law, that such companies may include at least whole^ 

 counties. 



Your Committee further earnestly recommend our 

 farmers to immediately organize Farmers' Fire and Light- 

 ning In urance Companies throughout the State, under 

 the present laws, and that they confine their risks exclu- 

 sively to farm property. 



In regard to life insurance, to which our attention has 

 been called by the action of the Committee on Master's 

 Address we would report, that recent records show a still 

 greater waste of the people's money than that of the fire 

 insurance companies. We would advise our members 

 against making investments in the companies that have 

 shown themselves so ready to swindle the people out of 

 the money confided to their care.
