AN AWFUL EXAMPLE.

The right Of a State to regulate the
business of foreign and domestic in
surance companies doing business in
the State is undeniable. But we do not
think that the assertion of this right
has ever had or can have any other
basis than the protection of the policy
holders from swindling, from the writ
ing Of risks by insolvent companies, and
license of the State. In Kansas, how
ever, the Populistic Insurance Commits
sioner has gone notch up in the reg
ulation or supervision of insurance
business. He has demanded that all
the companies doing business in the
State shall make return to him of their
salary lists in detail. That is. he pro-
poses to know what salaries are paid
every officer and employe, and what
sums are expended for agents, advertis-
ing, etc.
The logic of such claim would in
evitably lead up to the right of the
State to say to each company just what
salaries may be paid, just how much
shall be expended for agencies, adver-
tising and other current expenses. That
would carry with it the right TO die
tate 10 the citizens composing these
companies in way to actually deprive
them of control of their own business.
If Kansas may say to a company that
1t pays too high salary to A, it may
say also that it does not pay enough
to B; that officer c. dresses too we'll and
officer d too poorly; that the State will
substitute for private business skill,
wisdom and experience and judgment,
its own dictation, thus actually reduc-
ing the business to ownership in itself
practically.
The thing Is absurd. Kansas may re-
fuse to permit an insurance company
to do business in the State If it declines
to comply with reasonable regulations,
and to give ample guarantee of its abil-
ity to discharge its liabilities. But GER
tairiy how the business shall be prose-
cuted. what the legitimate methods of
getting business by company shall be,
what 1t may pay for special skill and
high ability, and what grade Of SER
wants it shall engage, are matters with
IN the personal right Of those who or
ganize capitalize and run the compa-
MES.
But then Kansas always is a notch
ahead in tom-fooa propositions. And
we should rejoice rather that 1t is 1t
furnishes a fine background for con-
trasts. Il makes the State serviceable.
just as was the ragged sot the temper
ance lecturer carried around with him
as 'an. awful example"

SOME STATISTICAL TRUTHS.

The Tacoma Ledger" takes the time
ly opportunity to point out the untruth
of the iterated statement that apprecia-
tbon of gold and decrease Of the price
CT commodities worked favorably for
capital and to the hardship of labor
The Commissioner of Labor has made
a report of statistics showing that from
1872 to 1891, which included the year
when We are told silver was outraged,
prices of commodities fell 2T1a per cent,
While wages increased on an average
10 per cent. Thus in 1891 hundred
dollars would purchase of commodities
quantity that in 1872 cost S12T so
Labor that in 1872 would have brought
the worker 500, brought the worker
S110 in 1891 The fact is also borne out
by the savings banks statistics, because
1t Is shown that the number of deposit
tors increased from less than two mill
lions in 1871 TO over FIVE Millions in
1897, with an average increase of saw
ings Of Sc per cent. The ''Ledger's"
conclusions are sound, but It should
have added that the increase in the
number of depositors. and in the
amount of savings. was far in excess
of the natural and stimulated increase
of population. and the normal growth
of accumuiations.

From all accounts American lawyers
are mot In IT, with their French breth-
rem in kicking up a rumpus in the courts
and blackguarding each other From
the American standpoint, the proceed
ings in the French courts with which
news columns have been we'll filed since
the trial Of Zola began are ludicrous
and not easily understood. But what
must Frenchmen think of us when we
consume two and three years in bring
ing an offender to justice after appre-
hension. What must they think of us
when they read of proceedings in our
courts in which lawyers and the courts
engage in wordy conflicts devoid of a
shading OF gentility, and In cases in
which all manner of sharp practice IS
INDUCED In to defeat the ends of JUS
tice? The French system is very sum-
mary; its trials are apparently harsh
and arbitrary, but the swiftness of
trial and the certainty as well as the
celerity of justice in France must COM
mand our respect

Robert 7. Devlin, Chairman of the
Committee on River Improvement and
Navigation, made the following report !:
Il deem it proper on this occasion to
say to those present, that the Chamber
of Commerce has been of vast assist
ance to this part of the State in Sc
curing the improvement of our navi-
gable streams. A body of this kind
has an influence for good, because It
represents the business and conserva-
tive elements of the community. The
difficulty that a community encounters
in promoting its prosperity lies in the
fact that no one is particularly inter-
ested, and while spasmodic efforts may
be made from time TO time, yet there
is no recognized body to bring those
interested 10 aid in any desired i'm
provement.
The Chamber Of Commerce recog-
nizes that we have grave problem in
the Sacramento Valley in the care and
maintenance of our water ways, and
preserving the lands Of the valley from
inundation. 1t has taken time and ef-
fort to bring the people Of the State to
realize the condition that confronts us,
and the necessity for the amelioration
of that condition. The whole people
of the State of California are now in
terested in securing the Improvement
of the Sacramento River and it's nav
igable tributaries.
THE appropriations already made by
California for the purpose Of securing
an Improvement in the condition affect
ing the rivers of the State amount 70
the sum of $500, 900. Congress at its
last session made an appropriation of
S250.00U for, the erection of re-
straining barriers to hold back hydrau-
lie mining debris now in the streams.

would enter the valley portions OF the

Grave Business Men Relax From
Their Usual Staid DemeanOr.
Chamber OF Commerce Installs Its Officers
and Has Jolly Smoker and
Entertainment.

The Chamber of Commerce held its
installation of officers last night at the
Sutter Club ,and it was not confined
to dry business details, either, for after
the business part of the programme
was finished the work done by the
Committee on Entertainment became
apparent and staid business men laid
aside shop and enjoyed themselves to
the fullest extent.
The Chamber had wisely decided that
"all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" and inaugurated a series OF
pleasant affairs that will do much to-
ward holding the present membership
and attracting new members. The
rooms were handsomely decorated and
looked very attractive.
The guests of the Chamber were the
county and city officials, members OF
the Sutter Club, General Howard of
Chicago, Captain w. H. Wood, L.
Elkus and ]. F. Merrill of San Fran
cisco, Frank r. Clifton, Al Wilson, Miss
Fannie Bloodgood, Miss Dolline Cole
and Miss Herbert and Weston of the
Orpheum, the officers of the Elks and
others.
The Committee on Entertainment was
W. F. Purnell, E. S. Elkus, r. 7. Cohn.
Fred Trout and Ben Wilson, and they
had not left point undone to contri-
butte to the comfort and enjoyment of
the guests.
The installation of officers and the
