MORE PERNICIOUS LEGISLATION.
The various insurance companies do
ire business in this state contribute
largely and uncomplainingly TO the
npbiic revenue. For this reason they
should not be imposed upon by the
General Assembly and driven from the
state by its exactions. In fact, II is the
best possible reason to encourage them
to increase their numbers and business
IN Delaware.
There are already before the General
Assembly several bills materially az
fecting the companies already here, and
tending to prevent other companies
from coming here for the transaction OF
business. II we are correctly informed,
there is but one man back of all these
measures, and he is an insurance agent,
who is at present out of work. Not only
that, but he was recently an applicant
for the office of state insurance com
missioner, and resents the action Of
Governor Tunnel In refusing to ap-
point him.
when these facts are taken into
consideration they should lead the
members Of the Assembly to most closc-
y scrutinize his bills. To us it looks
as though they were designed for two
purposes-one to pay back old scores,
