tion of large sums of money, principally from taxes on premiums and
license fees, examination of the financial affairs of all companies organ-
ized under the laws of this State, as well as all other companies doing
business in the State that the Commissioner thinks proper to examine,
and supervision of the entire business of insurance within statutory
limitations. He is charged with the duty of seeing that all laws of this
State relating to insurance or insurance companies are faithfully executed.
For that purpose he is authorized to maintain office and to employ such

sioner, an Actuary, an Examiner, an Auditor, and in addition to these
such clerical assistance as he may deem necessary for the proper and
