J W P Somerville, Midland Mining Company president, writes Senator Zihiman criticizing the commission as an expensive luxury. He cites first annual report: salaries 37087.08, expenses 23523.11, total 60611.09. premiums 46828.81, interest 293.84, income 47122.65, losses 75604.28.

Call for full probe of Commission salaries and expenses
The speaker urges a complete investigation into the salaries and expense accounts attached to the Commission. They argue the high premium rates in the fund arise from these costs and claim the state fund was meant to be an adjunct to the law to favor insurers. They warn continued high expenses could force higher appropriations or premiums and request action before legislative adjournment.
