Decision tilvon in Case of Phoenix
Mutual Life Insurance fompuii)
Against I'. Ii. McMustcr.
(Columbia, Man h i 8, The . isur
nnco commissioner of South t'aro
llnn has been given the right !?.. th<
supreme court to require insu run <?
on in panics to de pout I approved ecur
ktiea before granting n license. This
right was defined In u decision by i lc
court In the ease nl the Phoenix Mu?
tual Life I neu ranee company against
l\ H. Me Master. The court, In n ?l< -
clnlon yesterday, refused the appli?
cation for a writ of mandamus.
The quostn ii under consideration
Involved ine construction of the act
of 1910, which contains those provi?
sions:
"Before licensing any insurance
company to ?in business it this State,
the Insurance commissioner shall re
quirt ea< h shell company to deposit
with him an approv? tl bond or ap
proved securities, in the discretion of
the commission, as follows: Kach le?
gal reserve life insurance company
$20,0/00; each Arc, accident, easulty
or surety Insurance company $10,000."
The Phoenix .Mutual Life Insurance
com pan) tendered tin- fees for licence
and its bond With the Clulf and At?
lantic Insurance company as surety
but .the Insurance coinmisioner re?
fused to issue a license, unless the
company would furnish him with an
affidavit, showing that at hast one-1
fourth of its reserve on South Caroli?
na policies had been invested in tin-j
securities named In the act of 1910.
The following securities are mentioned
In the act: "IJonds of this State, or of
any county, city or town in this
State; or first mortgage bonds on real
. state hi the State; oi first mortgage
bonds of solvent corporations, whose
property Is situate entirely within the
State; or any property situate in this
State and taxable therein."
"The petitioner contends," says the
supreme court, "that the refusal to
issue the license was an abuse of dis?
cretion; also, that it was in violation
of article 1, section B of the constitu?
tion of this Stale; und the l Ith
amendment ot the constitution of the
United state.-, in that the petitioner
was denied ihe cquul protection of
the law, and was deprived of his
property without due process of law.
"If the insurance commissioner had
merely ruled that he would not Issue a
license to the petitioner, unless it de?
posited with him approved securi?
ties, it would not have tiic right to
compel him to accept an approval
'ond, as the statute, unquestionably,
tonferred upon him th< power to ex?
ercise his discretion in '.his respect.
"The petitioner, however, contends
that it was beyond the power- confer?
red upon the respondent hy the stat?
ute to refuse to issue the license un?
less it show id that it had Invested nt
hast one-fourth of its reserve on
South Carolina policies; that the ef?
fect of iaid ruling was to Impose an?
other condition, in* addition to those
mentioned iti the statute, and there
lore, that it was nullity.
"The petitioners did not offer to de?
posit with the insurance commlsionor
am securities whatever, nor to com?
ply with the said rulinfl In any man?
ner; but. m effect, attempted to ex
ercise its own discretion by Insisting
that the Insurance commissioner
should accept the bond which was
tendered. Under ibes. circumstanced
the petitioner is re t in a position to
rnlsc this action, as it has fade.I to
show that said ruling was prejudicial
to its rights."
"This i.. the conclusion of the case,
hut as the question whether the pe?
titioner wa.-- denied the equal pro?
tection of ihe law. fairly arises upon
the |*eCOrd, We Will Hot decline to ( op
sider it.
"The act of 1910 (page 77:') pro?
vides: 'Before granting ;> certlfleatt
of authority to do business in this
State to any company, 'he insurance
commissioner .'hall be satisfied by
proper evidence, that such applicant
lor license is duly qualified to .io Pus
mess under the laws of the ^tate;
that it. is site and solvent; thai its
dealings are ralr and equitable, and
that it conducts its business in a man*
nor not contrary to the public Inter?
ests."
"Il will thus be seen that the stat?
ute contemplates that the Insurance
commissioner must be aatislled by tin
proper evidence, in each and -verv
ease, that the application possesses tie.
necessary qualifications for doing bus?
iness in this .^-'tate, and that in ?ach
case he must determine whether the
PUhltC lilt. lest Would be host Sllh
served by requiring the particular
applicant to deposit an approved
bond or approved securities. Ry this
construction alone can ihe discre?
tionary powers conferred upon the
commission. '?.? exercised and made
effective. Therefore, the requirement
that no applicant should deposit an
approved bond, and another appli?
cant approved-securities, is not a de
nlul of t he i quul pi otect Ion of t he
law.
"Prom i ha so conclusions it neces?
sarily follows that the petitioner was
not deprived of bis property without
dlle process of law.
"it Is the judgment of this court
that the a |.pla.it noli for a writ of
mandutnui Im refused and Ihe appeal
dl missed.

Difficult.
Washington, Maren 19.- President!
Wilson's statement of the adn inistra-I
tton's nttltude toward Aim rlcan bank?
ers' participation In the Chinese loan
and foreign loans generally has at
tracted widespread comment and dis?
cussion In official an 1 diplomatic ?ir
des, following closely upon the state?
ment cgmc intimations that the nego?
tiations now may proceed as a five
Power affair without the American
group.
it is1 pointed out today that the
bankers of China's creditor nations,
especially Russia, may now be count?
ing upon the moral support of their
governments to continue to press Pro?
visional President Yuan Shi Kal to
make the loan but there are also . in
Indications of discord found In the
conflicting claim.-; oi the various na?
tionallies for predominating the ln
fluencc In the appointment of admin?
istrators of the loan and for its ex?
penditure.
Tin pressing features for china
rIglit now, diplomatists polnl out, la
found In the fact th;it China Is more
than one year behind In payment of
Moxer Indemnities to the extent of
$20,000,000. With an armj clamoring
for back paVi many pn vincial loans
coming due and need for money to
keep the operation ol tne provisional
government, Yuan Shi Kal Is placed In
the position of attempting u secure
an extension ol lime fr< m creditors
who have failed to make a loan m
succeed In borrowing money fr? m
Independent hankers, as was doi In
the .so-called crisp transaction u few
months ago.
it |s Intimated here that some
American hankers, other than those
concerned in the loan rejected, are
figuring on participation In such a
transaction, but it is pointed out that
President Wilson's statement made it
clear that while th?' Chines^ govern?
ment v.o. Id have the sympathetic
support of the LTnlted States/under no
circumstances, would it take the form
of a guaranty to would-be Investors
in I !hln< se securit les.
Discussion is now turning to the
question oi recognition, but ii"\v thi I
the loan matter has been determined,
it is generally believed that :i deter?
