THE ~ANTI-OpTION BILL.

This measure will probably reach the
calendar of the house of representatives this
week and it will be taken up as soon as the
appropriation bills are out of the way. 1t is
the opinion Of intelligent observers that IL
will pass the house, but not without a
vigorous and probably prolonged struggle.
AS the bill is in the form of a revenue
measure it is privileged to be called up at
any time and the only way in which its
early consideration may be headed off is to
keep the house crowded with other business
There are still several appropriation bills to
be disposed of and at least two important
measures which the speaker has promised
shall receive consideration. One OF these is
the bill suspending the state bank tax ON
notes and certificates issued during the panic
of last summer. and the other is the free
ship bill. When the former measure Is
taken up an amendment to 1t will be offered
providing for the unconditional repeal OF the
10 per cent tax on the notes Of state banks,
which will open up a debate that may ex-
tend over several weeks. The free ship bill
will also involve a long discussion. 1t is
suggested that the opponents OF the anti
option bill may be able to arrange to have
these measures alternate with the appro-
prlation bills so as to consume the time
until June. when It will be too late for the
senate to pass the anticipation bill during the
present session, These and some other
measures are entitled to precedence, and It
Is said that the plan of keeping them before
the house in order TO exclude the anti
option bill will probably be adopted. II the
measure should pass the house within the
next few weeks the probabilities are all in
favor of its passing the senate. but II II can
DO held back in the house until the summer
months action on 1t by the senate might
have to be deferred until the second session
OF congress. The statement is confidently

II is already a month since the decision Of
The supreme court upon the state depository
law was given 10 the public. The people
were then mad - understand thdt 1t lie
cislon would soon be had upon the other
and equally important question Of the validity
Of the law requiring the Investment Of idle
state school moneys In outstanding interest
bearing state warrants. These two cases.
Instituted at the same time, were expected
10 settle the controversy over the alleged
inability Of the state school board to convert
the 100000 lying in the school fund
into securities that would bring some return
to the state treasury instead Of to the pri-
yate individuals who had assumed control
Of IT.. To get the matter before the supreme
court the governor presented a general fund
warrant to the state treasurer, and, upon
refusal OF payment, instructed the attorney
general to bring suit for a writ Of mandamus
to compel him TO do 50.
This case has been hanging fire now for
these many weeks and at last reports the
prospects for a speedy decision were no
better than when the petition was first filed.
OF course the state treasurer cannot be eX-
pected to push 1t to a finish, because he is
quite satisfied with the present state Of
affairs, which permit him to leave the law
uncnforccd on the plea of its unconstitu-
tionallty. Delay to him is as good as a
decision in his favor. 1t leaves the half million
dollars in the school fund at his disposal, to
be placed at his discretion without reference
to the state depository law. This half
million dollars. moreover. remains unpro-
ductive so far as the state is concerned.
while the money in the various current
funds is contributing 3 per cent interest to
the revenues Of the treasury. The bene-
iciaries OF the school fund are therefore
quite content to be let alone.
On the other hand. 1t is the duty of the
attorney general to have this question settled
without further delay. and without playing
into the hands Of the defendant in the suit.
We do not say that there is no plausible
ground for the contention that the law of
1891 is unconstitutional. There is always
room to argue both sides of a question Of
violation of that law long enough. We should
be told now whether the remedy for the
school fund abuses is to be secured only by
constitutional amendment or whether the
present constitution gives the legislature
power to deal with the subject. Further
delay in the mandamus proceedings must
arouse the suspicion that the attorneys for
both plaintiff and defendant are acting in
concert.

These conditions with regard TO the pro-

If the agricultural producers Of the country
are still as strongly and unanimously in
favor Of this legislation as in the past they
should make It known through their organi-
cations and by further petitions. lest their
failure to do so be regarded as evidence Of
Indifference. The bill in its present form
has been modified in important respects. so
that there are fewer Objectionable features
than in the original measure, but none the
less the spectators are making a fight on
1t. A strong expression Of the agricultural
interests in support of the bill at this time
would have a good effect upon congress and
the president.

The state auditor recently issued a circu-
so-called Lloyd, mutual or individual under
writer's associations doing fire insurance
business in this state. The assertion that
these companies are operating without
having con- piled with the statute relating
to insurance companies is doubtless true.
But so far as we have been able to get at the
facts there is nothing in the methods or
business of these mutual fire insurance com
panies to warrant the sweeping condemna-
ton heaped upon them. The official circular
warns all insurance companies to comply
with the law, and, of course, on that point
is ncontestable. Failure to do so will sub
ject the mutual companies to considerable
annoyance and severe penalties.
That the Lloyd or mutual companies have
come to stay there is little doubt. They
solicit and will accept none but high class
moral and physical risks; they pay their
losses promptly and their premium rates are
so per cent lower than those of the old line
fire insurance companies. Ten of the largest
and wealthiest business houses Of Omaha
are subscribers or patrons of one or more of
these mutual companies. The heads Of these
houses are men of rare intelligence and
know exactly what they are doing. They
rebelled against the excessive premium rates
Of the old line companies, which claim that
40 per cent of total receipts is spent in
securing business and paying expenses.
These Omaha merchants repudiate the so
per cent co-insurance clause sought to be
forced upon them by the leading fire in
surance companies doing business here.
Under this rule our merchants are compelled
to insure to the extent of so per cent, or
failing to do so, become co-insurers for the
difference. In any event the assured is re-
quired to pay for indemnity which he does
not and cannot enjoy.
There may be a law prohibiting ten or
fifty honest property owners pooling and
entering into a close compact to insure the
upon which the so-called Lloyd companies
are now operating and 1t is safe to predict
that our laws will not long be technically
violated by them, but will soon be amended
for their especial benefit and protection.
These Lloyd companies discriminate with
reference to a moral hazard before a policy
is issued covering the risk. Their patrons
are therefore the strongest and best men in
any community where they can be induced
to do business. 1t will be u long time be-
fore such institutions can be sandbagged
out of existence,
