AN UNTENABLE POSITION.

The Pacific Insurance Union has
taken a position il cannot possibly
maintain. IL is, in short, that it cal
say to the people OF Oregon what insur-
ance companies they may do business
with, in addition to right they have
long exercised Of saying what they
shall pay for insurance. This combiDa
ton of San Francisco stock jobbers has
oveueaebed itself. 1t caunot maiDtain
lts position before the people, among
business men or in the courts.
Oregon people have a special interest
in resentiug this attempted dictation of
1 gigantic trust. The blow is aimed at
home company-the State of Salem.
rhe Insurance Uuion has added a slip

party from taking any additional insur-
tnce in any but "rrHst" companies, be-
onging to the Union. In this list the
state of Salem is boycotted. Oregon
people are sure to resent this and will
be heard from in no uncertain way in
reply to the dictatIOns of the trust.
The sooner the Pacific Insurance union
retreats from its arrogant assumption to
own this state, the better for the com
panies it represents. If the fight goes

Honest competition in the insurance
