UNJUST INSURANCE. RATE RAISE
Commissioner Price Calls Pacific Uaiol
Managef's Attention 70 Il.

Manager's Attention 70 IL.
The Pacific Insurance Union has issued
q circular to the Washington agents Of the
companies represented in tho union. noti-
flying them of an increase of from to 10
per cent. in rates, which is based on erro-
neous information - to tho insurance tax
provisions of the new revenue law. The
circular states that the law imposes . tax
on the gross amount of premiums,
whereas, it in fact makes no change from
the method under which the companies
have been taxed for the past two years.
The act of 1891 provided that
insurance companies should pay
. tax Of 2per.cent. on oil premiums col
lected, less the amount of losses paid.
The new revenue law contains exactly the
same provision, though when it was under
consideration it was suggested that the
tax should be levied on the gross receipts.
In view of the evident mistake of the
union. Secretary Price, - insurance COM
missioner, today addressed the following
letter to General Manager Duval, Of San
Francisco:
Herewith you win please find copies Of the
revenue Law - passed BY the Legislatures of
1891 and 1893 Upon examination you will ind
that the acts are identically the same 20 far -
relates to the tax to b paid BY insurance com.

not know before that your executive committee
had increased the rates OF insurance in this
stata Trusting you will cancel the order in.
creasing the rate. remain yours truly,
J. II. PRICE, Commissioner.
Even il the law were as Manager Duval
supposes, it would not justify the collec-
ton Of from 5 to 10 per cent. to reimburse
the companies for the payment Of the diff
ference between 2 per cent. on their net
earnings and 2 per cent. on their gross re-
ceipts. OF the insurance taxes for 1892
ninety out Of the LA doing business in tho
state have paid their share, amounting to
about $1,000. Upon this basis it is esti-
mated that the new rates, if enforced,
would require the additional payment by
owners of property of from $50, 600 to $751;
600 annually.
