swung into eternity Thursday in Chi

insurance agents and security to the

NO WILD CAT COMPANIES.

The Mississippi bureau of the
Memphis Commercial Appeal has
the following plain and timely in
formation, relative to the insur-
ance statutes of Mississippi:
An impression has gone out
that the new insurance law will
flood the state with wild cat insu-
rance companies. that the bars
have been thrown entirely down
and all restrictions repealed.
This is a mistake. All the old
laws now in conflict with the new
act now remain in full force and
effect. This leaves the old law
relative to admission of compan-
les into the state operative, as ii
does net conflict with any provi-
sion of the recent enactment.
Companies now do business by
paying 2 per cent. of their prem
iums, by swearing that they be-
long to no combine, ETC., and that
their prices are not fixed by any
tariff associations, etc. Under
the old law they could not operate
in the state without paying pri-
vilege tax of 1000. Companies
not desiring to take advantage of
the 2 per cent feature can select
to pay 81 800 privilege tax instead
of 81, 900 as heretofore, and it is
understood all the old companies
will do this, but no company can
be authorized to transact business
in the state unless it is possessed
of $l50,000 of actual capital, IN
vested in stock of at least parvalue,
or in bonds or mortgages of real
estate worth double the amount
of which the same is gagged. "
The above quotation is made from
the old law relative to admission
of companies, and will effectually
operate to keep out the wild cat
companies.
