panies' branches which are not now
compelled to pay any taxes, would raise
the amount to 100000 year.
The law provides that a portion Of
the insurance tax now received shall
go to the fire departments of the city,
town or village where the premiums
are paid. and it { is claimed by the
friends of the measure that this is one
reason why it should develop strength
in both the house and senate. The law
says !:
The auditor at thegend of the fiscal year
(shalD issue and deliver to the treasurer OF
any such city, town, village or municipal
corporation his warrant upon treasurer OF the
state for an amount equal to one-half the
tax so paid by such fire insurance COM
panies upon the premiums by them received
in any such city, town. village or municipal
corporations as specified in said ceruncate
Of said insurance commissioners.
With the proposed increase in the
tax each CITY, town or village would
receive double the amount they now re-
ceive, which it is claimed ought not to
be overlooked by the friends of the
bill
There are a number Of arguments
against the proposed increase in the
taxation Of companies, and. one is, 1t 1s
claimed, that with such a tax no fire
insurance company would ever be or
gained in Minnesota with the view Of
doing business in any other state. The
insurance laws of other states all pro-
vide for a retalitatory tax and every
home company would be compelled to
pay 4 per cent tax on every state in
which it did business, if any company
from that state did business and was
compelled to. pay per cent tax here.
The ST. Paul Fire & Marine company.
which is now esta blished in every state
in the union, except three, would have
to pay four per cent tax on all It's
business in every state, and it Is claim
ed that such requirement would be un-
just, even though the company is one
of the strongest fire insurance con
Germs in the United States.
1t is also a fact which does not APP
pear on the table. that the estimated
cost to insurance companies of con-
Quoting their business is 80 per cent,
so that the actual profits would be re-
duced to nearer $40, 900, 900.
1t is believed to be doubtful about the
bill having the Endorsement of the in
surance department although 1nSur-
ance Commissioner Dearth is now alb
sent from the city and his idea of II
could not be ascertained. Following
are the figures:

DEAD STILL UNIDENTIFIED.
Nobody Able to Discover the I'm
known Killed Tuesday,

The body of an unknown man
found in the Burlington yards Tues
day night was viewed by large num-
Der of persons at Mccarthy & DON
nelly's undertaking rooms yesterday,
but no one could identify the remains.
A closer search of the mans clothing
failed to discover the slightest clue to
his identity in the nature of papers Oh
writing, nor were there any marks
upon his wearing apparel. The under
wear worn by the dead man evidenced
the fact that he may possibly have
been married or that he was the care
of a fond mother, as it was perfectly
clean and had been carefully sewed
and patched. His black socks had also
been carefully darned in several places.
The body will remain at the under
takers until Friday, when, if it is
still unclaimed it will be buried at
