"WILD CAT" INSURANCE.
1t is Unfair to Resident Agents ana
Cheats the State of It's Tax.

Almost daily complaints come TO tne
Secretary of State that the agents Oh
fire insurance companies not licensed TO
do business i'm North Carolina are IN ohe
State writing insurance. 10 suGh an
extent has this overhead" or wild cat
insurance business gone on that now
practically all the cotton factories and
saw mills in the State are insured III
such companies.
They do so because they can get such
insurance at a reduced rate, the resi-
dent agent being cheated out of his
profit and the State out of its tax. AS
vet the writers of this overhead in
surance have escaped arrest.
1t is O thing, though, that should not
be allowed, and the next Legislature
will be asked to pass some more strin-
gent insurance laws, looking specially to
remcdying this evil. The Secretary of
State estimates THAT the State loses at
least $4,000 q year by the overhead"
insurance written in this State. Be-
sides this it is eminently unfair to the
resident agent.

added that the Japanese coal firms which
