WILDCAT COMPANIES.
in~augurutes a Vigorous Move
meut acafnst Them.

The Illinois state insurance department
has taken up the question Of wildcat
companies. which 1t is proposed to drive
from the state. Commissioner Van CleaNe
has issued the following notice:
This department is in receipt OF nu-
merous inquiries concerning the authority
anil legal right of the following insurance
companies to transact business IN TINS
state: The London Fire Office Qimited). OF
London, England, which purports to have
an office at 4O3 Dearborn street. Chicago.
under charge of Stewart A. Mailman, cor
respondent. and the Great Britain 1nsur-
ance Corporation Qimited), of London,
England. which purports to have an Office
at lg5, La Sale street, Chicago, unQer
charge of S. Foster. manager. The super
irtendent desires 1t to be made known for
the protection of those who do not wish
TO be victimiZed by wildcat or unauthor-
lied companies, that the companies men,
toned are not licensed or authorized to
transact business in Illinois, and have no
right to do so. Any policy issued by either
company is a contract made in violation
of law. Any person who takes a policy
in either not only aids in a violation of the
law, but takes a policy in a company OF
whose financial condition he is ignorant,
and a company which has no attorney ap-
pointed in this state against whom he can
bring suit for any loss he may sustain. The
superintendent also solicits from any per
son who may be in possession OF II evil
dence that will enable him to prosecute
the agents Of these companies who are Vio-
lating the law"

FIGHTING 5 PER CENT TAX.
Foreign Companies Are Up in Arms
Against the Bill Which Is Pend
ing in New York Legislature.

Foreign companies are fighting the bill In
the New York legislature to tax them 5 per
cent on their gross premiums. They claim
1t will prevent themfrom competing with the
home companies. Manager Eaton, of the
Liverpool and London and Globe. says:
THE claim that American fire under
writing capital needs protection is droll in
deed. Stock Cpar value 5000 of the COM
pany whose representative has been most
active In supporting this measure is worth
to-day about si25. The competent gentle
men in charge of most American companies
will deny. L think, that they need protec-
ton. They can care for themselves. To
charge foreign companies 5 per cent on
gross receipts. and American companies 2i2
per cent on net profits. would impose a tax
on foreign companies forty times larger
than that exacted from American compan-
fes. To characterize this as fair" is ridic-
ulous. If il is admitted that foreign COM
plnies escape the measure of tax imposed
upon native companies, why is objection
made to their transacting business under
American charters. thus eQualiZing taxa
ton? Those charging that foreign COM
panies take excess lines on preferred risks,
reinsuring at n discount abroad, forget that
American companies also exercise the right
TO reinsure wherever they please"
