To the Editors of the Clarion:


have carefully read your several edto-
riais upon the subject of insurance laws of
the State, in which you very properly urge
the repeal of that provision of these laws re.

posts with the Treasurer in addition to the
payment of a privilege tax of one thousand
dollars. No disinterested person will Sc
riously contend, after an examination OF
the subject, that this required deposit is
sufficient protection to policy holders. Nor
did the projectors of the system so believe
or intend. Their object was evidently
to make a forced loan from insurance
companies for the purpose of retiring som

The new bill to regulate the electoral
count, reported by Committee of the
House of Representatives, provides that
the votes as returned are to be counted,
unless rejected by both Houses of Con
gress. Where contest arises, the vote
is not to be counted, unless decision of
the contest has already been made by the
highest judicial tribunal of the State in
which the contest arises. Should this
bill become law, the necessity of hav-
ing pure and upright Judiciary, who
will decide according to the law and the
testimony, is apparent.
