BILLS READ THIRD TIME.
House bill, to amend section 20 of an act
entitled an act to regulate Insurance COM
ipailies passed April 10 1867, was read the
third time, and the question being upon
the passage of the hill. L-. ys,.,f, /,
Mr.. SCOTT, of Warren, opposed the bill.
He Thought it a bill to prevent competitions.
He was for free trade in such matters. 1t
would, in effect, rule out of this State re-
sponsible companies from other Stafes. II
required deposit of one hundred thousand
do lars of the capital of these companies
with the Auditor OF State. He thought
this oppressive. = .i au.-s.i.,tz.. 1s.li.s11
Mr.. CRIST also opposed the bill. He
thought its provisions unjust to foreign
companies. ti'
Mr:.WoLF favored the passage of the
bill. II we were to treat Yankee or a
New Yorker as well as we treat our own
citizens, is this not enough? This was true
State comfy. The gentleman from War
rem (Mr. Scott) asked what difference lit
made whether the money was deposited in
New York or Ohio. He (Mr. Wolf
thought it made good deal OF difference.
particularly where there was loss. These
companies pay no taxes, and hence the
competition is unfair. He thought it fair
that the agents of other States should be
put upon che same footing as citizens of
Ohio. i.E ,ii-il o' iiif@ -. - ,-ii'.i
Mr.. CRIST said If Ohio was weak State,
itwould be right to limit her capital to
her own territory, but as she was rich and
had plenty OF capital, if we adopted the
policy OF this bill, other States would re-
taliate. and our capitalists would be driven
out. He wanted our capitalists to go
wherever it was profitable. He believed i'm
State comfy. He was not in favor OF in-
dependent sovereignties among the States.
MIR. BELVILLE was also opposed to the
bill. ss.. ARE, - g., - ro'
Upon the passage of the bill the yeas and
nays were called and resulted-yeas 15,
nays S5.@ So the bill was lost.
