The Insurance Bill,

A representative Of the insurance COM
panies called at the APPEAL office ye>ter-
day and asked that the insurance people
be given a chance to explain their side of
the issue.
The representative claims that in doing
insurance business in this city that he
already pays a city license of 1925 per
year. This does not include the State tax
which is 500 per year for each company
represented in the State. The State tax
amounts to about $500 and is compul-
sorry under the law of the State.
There Is a law on our statute book
which was approved Feb. 81. 1881, from
which the following are quoted:
Section !. No company, corporation or
association organized under the laws of
this State, or any other State or govern
ment, or firm, or individual. shall be per
mitted to transact III insurance business
in his State, without a certificate from
the State Controller authorizing and per
uniting the transaction of such business.
Sec. l6. The Controller may, at any
time, require any insurance company do
ing business in his State to file in his
office an authenticated copy of the %certifi-
cate of Incorporation. copy of the law,
charter Or deed OF settlement under
which Its organization or formation was
affected and its business is conducted;
provided, however, that no company shall
be required to file more than one such
cOpy in this State.
A tIo tI,,o tl,n <A,+-s-,-o - -.
the companies are compelled to pay their
State tax.
The insurance man says that in case
Mr.. Van Etten's bill passes the Senate
and becomes a law the various companies
doing business in the State will advance
their rate of interest TO meet the amount
of increased license or else go out of bus
mess, in the latter instance depriving the
State from the revenue now exacted from
the companies.
The argument of the insurance ma is
naturally made from his standpoint and
looks just. -
While the APPEAL is in favor of the
law it seems just to companies that THEN
side or the case should be given a hearing
If the amount collected by the State and
counties by the Van Etten bill increases
the rate of interest above the amount
collected it would only be raising the rate
of insurance on the people, which is higl
enough now. The question of the bill i,
whether it will make more revenue fr
the State and counties or will it increas,
the rate of taxation above the amount o
benefit received.
The APPEAL would like to hear from
some members who have supported tn
bill.
