Welcome by his old associates and
friends
Hon. John II. Peyton Of the finance

that viii be appreciated by the tax

The house caucus will be called TO-
gether early next week and the most
important bills awaiting action will be

and the house leaders favor this plan.
Hon. w. P. Sebastian said today:
we cannot adjourn by April 10, We

Yesterday the house agreed TO hold

TAX 'EM HEAVILY.
A Prominent Banker on the wayland
Bill.

Austin. Tex, March 2a.-Representa-
tive Waylnnd Is flooded with letters
endorsing his bill taxing life and FIRE
insurance companies. Today he receiv-
ed q letter from one OF the leading
bankers of the state. Among other
things, this writer said:
II hope you viii succeed IN passing
the bill taxing insurance companies.
You cannot tax them too much. Fire
insurance companies oupht 10 be taxed
10 to 10 per cent. and life Insurance at
least 20 per cent. on their gross re-
celpts, Life insurance companies are
the greatest curse OF the country
worse than the silver agitation OF PEN
sion laws. They drain the whole
country TO accumulate all the money In
New York. They claim they are doing
strictly mutual life Insurance busl-
ness at actual cost, but the fucts are
they are charging from 90 10 100 per
cent. profit on what they do and make
you nay cash In advance. In other
words. they charge more profits for
cash In advance on wholesale trans
actions than retail credit merchants do
and walt six to ten months for their
money and In some cases they never
get n cent. The enclosed explains the
whole thing IN very concise manner;
Receipts for 1884,, 24s, 900. 600
Paid policy holders. 2i,000,0
All other expenses, meaning
salaries, commissions, etc. 9,s0Q000

1.-THE figures are appalling. One
company alone collects SlS.00Q0OO and
pays out only S2i,O00000 To policy
holders: and In order to pay out that
SCI 100000 II lost $500, 900 10 do Il, or AZ

quences than has been felt IN ions u'nr,
The opinion prevails fhat there VIII p'
strike I'm the near future. -,
The meeting OF the operators heiu ~
Bramwell the first OF the week ana thet
action is what precipitated ieehny c.
uneasiness into one OF anxiety and ieaf.
The meeting was held to consider me
question of the prices to be received ior
coal from Cashier & Curran. Their term
we learn, were accepted, but the accept
ance was coupled with the announcement
that the operators would be forced 20
make a small reduction in the PRICE pau
for mining. as they could not alIoId 10
pay as much under the new price re-
ceived for coal. which, we understand.
Is not TO be lower than 50 cents. When
this reduction is made IL Is assumed that
the miners will go out on a strike. unless
other compensating concessions are made
TO them. IL IL rumored that the miners
will ask first for scales, and that all
the coal mined snail be weighed. II Is
claimed by them that the cars are larger
than they should be, and they. want the
system Of weighing. which Is in practice
in some other fields. inaugurated here;
Perhaps. If this demand were complied
with they would submit 10 small re-
duction. But, so far as the operators are
concerned, they would gain nothing II the
cars are oversize. as claimed.
There are I'VE companies n n tne ss nGiI
of the operators. but II Is generally
thought these would made no reduction.
Whether they. too, will ask a reduction
remains to be seen. 1t Is also conjecture
as To what the miners in the employ or
these companies would do In case there IS
a strike by the miners Of the other thirty
two corporations. The impression prevail Us
that in case Of a strike there would be
an effort made TO force all OF them TO
quit work.
A significant rumor Is af,oat TO the
effect that Mr.. Mcbride Is to visit tho
Elkhorn regions next week. There Is con-
siderable organization on the Eihhorn,
ard there is no doubt the United Mine
Workers officials VIII give their Morn
bers special attention. but il Is not likely
that this report Is correct. Ii ex-Presi-
dent John Mcbride Is meant. since II IL
stated that he Is III OF disease from
which he cannot recover.
This Is the apparent situation IN the
field to-day The LIST OF MAY will likely
decide what course viii be pursued. and
we cannot refrain from expressing the
hope that strike may be ayerted. we
have never believed that the proper
method OF settling grievances. but. on
the contrary, productive OF great hard
ships and financial losses.
