Governor Hughes has said of the new insurance laws in the state of New York:

"The statutes were enacted after very careful consideration...With the object of furnishing more secure protection to the policyholders."

In reference to the restrictions of these laws he has said:

"I would rather take insurance in a New York company compelled to transact business under these restrictions then in any company not so restricted; and I believe that will be the sentiment of the people of the United States."

"I claim to be an insurance man, and I am the kind of insurance man representing millions who are largely dependent upon insurance for the security of their homes. As a young man I realized that there was only one way in which a poor man without capital could protect his family from the vicissitudes of fortune, and make proper security against the day which much come to us all; and that was through life insurance. And I've been adding to my holdings in life insurance from that time to this. If I were to die tonight the entire protection of my family would to a very large extent consist of life insurance policies."
