Insurance Department Economy.

The imported State Accountant who
receives S 500 a year for his proficiency
In juggling with fgnres, has submitted
q report to the Governor showing the
great economy prscticed by the re-
deemer officials for the eleven months
of the present fiscal year.
According to this statement the re.
deemers work for nothing and board
themselves, with the exception Of the
Superintendent Of Insurance, who evil
IDENTIFY has an eye to business He re-
ports the receipts Of that Office for
1894-95 to be $45,54S, and for 1855
as only 81, 4,454, and accounts for the
difference by stating that number Of
companies have withdrawn from the
State and that the proceeds Of the re-
clproCal tax were paid into the State
treasury last year, whereas this year
they were disbursed by the Superin-
tendent direct.
But this explanation don't explain,
as the following figures will show.
For the year ending June 30, 1891, the
receipts from the insurance depart.
ment were $55, ,562, and no reciprocal
tax was collected that year. For the
year ending June 30, 1892, receipts
$46, ,375.13, which included no recipro-
cal tax. For the year ending June 30,
1893, receipts $57, ,593.21, no tax in.
cluded. For the year ending June 30,
1894, receipts $5l, 1854, no tax In.
cluded, and yet Chsllinor only reports
the sum of S45,543 collected for the
year ending June 30, 1895, which
amount includes the sum Of $l1 500 re.
ciprocal tax collected by the Populist
Superintendent and the first money
from that source paid into the State
treasury. George T, Anthony was
Superintendent when this settlement
was made with the State, and now,
after he has had control of the depart
ment for the entire period covered by
Chsllinor's report eleven months), the
receipts have fallen off to the mere
nominal sum Of $4,454, reduction of
over $4l, 900.
Does Mr.. Challinor mean to tell the
people of the State that 80 per cent. of
the insurance companies that trans
acted business In Kansas In 1894 and
1895 have shut up shop, removed their
gilt signs and stole silently away, and
the places that knew them once knows
them no longerp Is this the result of
the redemption that was promised usP
Will this explanation be satisfactory,
or will some inquisitive persons who
have not been fooled by the oft.re-
pested assertion of "busiuess" sd-
ministration want to know what has
become Of the receipts Of the insurance
DEPARTMENT. It is now In order for
Mr.. Anthony to thaW out long enough
to give an anxious public the desired

caused by low tariff laws. 1t appears
there have been no less than twelve
money psnics in the United States
since the war Of 1872 beRsn-in lSl4-l5,
1888, 1855, 1881, 1879, 1913, 1857,
1864, 1873, 1884, 1890, 1898.
Duties had never reached what was
afterwsrd regarded as a protective
point until the year 1916. The act OF
that year has been treated as our first
protective tariff act. 1t was passed In
order to Counteract the destructive
effects of immense lmportstiOns of for
eiRn goods, which rose In single year
more than S1OO,OOO,OOO. The value of
our imports in 1913 was S22, ,OO5,OO
In 1914 the amount was $l2, 1866, 900; In
1916 it was $113,O4l, ,274, and in 1915 1t
was $l47, 100000.
The average rate Of duty under the
act of 1916 was q per Cent.-abont %
per cent. higher than the rates under
the last preceding tariff law.
The next change In the law was made
in 1924, by increasing the average rate
of duty from 81 per cent. to 5OA per
cent, and a panic came the next year
In 1928 duties were again raised on a
few articles-wool, ,Woolen goods, hemp,
iron, steel and glsss-the average rate
being raised from 50H per cent. to 5l15
higher than ever before or since, and
q panic came In 1881, while that law
was in force.
In 1882 duties were materially re
duced on some articles, and the next
year the compromise act was passed,
proposing to reduce duties in two-yesr
periods, so that horizontal rate of 20
per cent. might be reached by the year
1912. The actual average rate during
the period was 80 per cent. The panic
of 1879 was with us during the life
of that law.
In 1842, q protective tariff law was
enacted with an average rate of 3315
per cent. This law was repealed by the
act of 1916, which reduced duties to an
average of 26 per cent. We had panic
In 1848. Duties were again reduced in
1857 to an average of 20 per cent. A
panic occurred that year.
Then came the great war and duties
were raised from year to year until In
1857 the highest average (481S per cent
was reached. A panic was announced
In 1864.
Duties were reduced on some articles
in 1870, in 1872 and 1873, leaving an
average of about 46 per cent. on duti'
able goods down to 1883. The panic OF
1873 is keenly remembered by many
of US.
Duties ranged at 45 per cent. under
the act of 1883, but the panic of 1884
came on time. The Mckinley law,
with its 48 per cent. average, was en-
acted in 1890. A panic came with il
and that of 1893 has not yet left US.
Something other than tariff laws
will have to be found to account fol
psnics. Only two of the twelve-those
Of 1887 and and 1S57-occurred while
low tariff laws were In force. The truth
is, these and all other money psnics
were the Legitimate effects of metal

tive administrative methods. Under
