The net gain in population by last years
passenger arrivals in California was 9,477,
being less than for many years preceding.
For ten years ocean steamers have taken
away more passengers than they have
landed The Panama steamers last year
brought 2, $50 and took away 100; the
China, 6,545 and 6,906 the Hawaiian
Island, Australian and New Zealand steam
ers and ships brought only /, 926 and took
away 1862; British Columbian vessels,
l,4ll and l,67l, and Mexican, $40 and
204. The arrivals by rail were Az, ISL,
and the departures $50. 500

Whoever drew up the bill we are dis
cussing must have been misled, for it is
inconceivable that anyone should with his
eyes open undertake to deprive the public
of protection against casualties by a delib-
crate attempt to drive from the State the
corporations upon which the security OF
nearly all destructible property rests.
Nor is it as though local capital could take
the place of foreign, if the latter were
forced out of business. 1t could do moth
ing of the kind. Perhaps there may be
local companies that would be willing to
take all the risks that might be offered,
but assuredly they could not etti-
GENTLY protect those risks, no mat
ter what their nominal capital,
for the reason that their assets would be
destroyed together with the property they
had underwritten, in the event of any ex-
tensive disaster. The normal tendency of
healthy insurance is shown in the figures
given above. Prudent business men
naturally prefer to insure in companies
whose available assets are not exposed to
local dangers. The outside and foreign
companies, moreover, represent far the
largest aggregate of capital, and are there
fore the more available. The logical con-
sequence of these considerations is
that legislation hostile to foreign
insurance companies is emphatically
against public policy, and that
the only admissible legislation is that
which invites and secures full and free
competition. 1t is not the interest of the
foreign companies that is in question, but
the interest of California insurers. To
protect their property every facility should
be afforded for the widest distribution of
risks. Unless this is done fire will occur
some day which will destroy San Fran
cisco, and when the claims for insurance
are presented it will be found that they
are not worth the paper they are written on.

~SAN Francisco, January 23d.-The ex-
animation on the opposition of John H.:
Burke to the allowance of the account filed
by the executors of the O'Brien estate was

the Introduction of an instrument signed by
Mrs Coleman and Mrs. McDonough, the
residuaIy legatees named in the will, APP
proving the sales of stock to James G. Fair
on January 10, 1873, amounting TO SAB, 600.

A MAP WHICH SHOULD BE PROCURED

We are informed that map of Suisun
Bay and its surroundings has been pre-
pared by the Pacific Coast Survey Depart
ment for the use of Congress, which ought
to be in the hands of every member of the
State Legislature This map shows the
encroachments which have been made upon
the water marks of former times in
the clearest manner 1t gives the
condition of the bay many years
ago. aud its present condition, and it
shows how steadily the flow of mining
debris is filing up the surrounding water
ways, and threatening navigation. The
map has not been engraved, but no doubt
it could be Autographed at small expense
1t would be of great use in the coming dis
cussion of the debris question, and on a
proper representation from the Legislature
Congress would unquestionably permit a
copy of it to be furnished to the State. A
motion to this effect put in the form of a
Joint resolution would be all that was nee

But these local mischiefs were of them
selves sufficient to do great deal OF harm,
and there can be no doubt that they made
the difference between pressure which
could, and pressure which could not, be en-
dured. The new Constitution and the
break in mining stocks came together.

for the benefit Of the physician,
the robbery becomes greater than the
public are called upon to endure. At the
meeting referred to a druggist stated an in
stance where, because of the percentage
system, one of the trade had charged So so
for some medicine which could have been
put up at any other store for 81 so. In
this case there was dead robbery of the
patient amounting to more than double the
value of the medicine and if the actual
cost of the drugs used in the prescription
were known, it would probably appear
that so cents would have covered every
thing, and that all the rest was clear profit
or sheer plumber. 1t is said that re-
spectacle physicians and respectable drug
gists are equally opposed to the percentage
system, but we fear it will not do to accept
this statement, lest it lead US to the awk-
ward conclusion that the number of re-
spectacle physicians and druggists is un-
pleasantly small. Rather let it be said
that the system is bad one which has
grown up out of custom and competition,
but which produces such i'll effects that it is
clearly public policy to put an end to it.

Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-01-24
TIE PROPOSITION TO LEGIsIATE AGAINST
FOREIGN lNsURANCE COMPANIES.

We have already given some reasons
why the bill to impose a stamp-tax upon
foreign insurance companies should not be-
come law. We will now show, from the
statistics of insurance in California, the
absolute madness of the proposition. The
paid-up capital OF companies of other
States doing business here is $27, 935, 90
The paid-up capital of foreign fire insur-
ance companies doing business here is S27,-
O74, 900, and that OF the foreign marine
insurance companies is Sll, 1925, 903 total
paid-up capital of all outside companies,
SOC, $50, 9O3 The total paid-up capital of
the California fire and marine insurance
companies is 81, 100000. 1t is therefore
for the benefit of the representatives
of these two millions of home cap
ital that stamp-tax is sought to be
imposed upon the representatives of
sixty-six millions of capital. The amount
of risks written in California by the home
companies in 1878 fire and marine) was
S79,374, 092. The amount of risks written
by companies of other States doing bust
ness here in the, game year was S54, $780,
1913; the risks written by foreign fire COM
panies amounted to Sl20, S42, 100; and
those of the foreign marine companies to
$50, 59S, l65. Total of risks written by all
outside companies S236, 81, 10, as against
1884, 092 written by the home compa-
MES. The amount of risks written by
the outside and foreign companies, more
over, was not much more than three
times their paid up capital, while
in the case of the California COM
panies the risks amounted to thir-
teen times their paid up CAPT
tai. These figures ought to be con-
elusive of the whole matter. 1t is per-
fectly apparent that California depends
mainly for protection against fire and ma
rine losses upon the outside companies
doing business here, and that any legisla-
ton of a proscriptive and discriminating
character undertaken against them would
react most disastrously upon the business
interests of the State 1t is also perfectly
apparent that no reliance could be placed
upon the hore companies in the event OF
any widespread disaster, and that in such
case the only hope OF the community
must lie in the solvency of the foreign
companies.
