An Opinion Is Prepared by Attorney
General Taylor.

In answer to a question of the auditor Of
state as to whether an Individual. or two
or more individuals, as partners and resi-
dents of the State OF Indiana, have the
right to engage in the business of insurance
by issuing policies or contracts. agreeing
to indemnify the insured against financial
loss In event of a certain defined coztin-
gency. without first Incorporating and re-
ceiving proper authority to tranSac such
business. Attorney General Taylor has pre-
pared the following opinion;
"As a general principle Of law. al indi-
vidual, or a partnership, otherwise capable
of contracting, may make any contract or
any nature which is not forbidden by law.
against public policy, or In restraint OF
trade, marriage, or opposed TO the prin-
ciples of good government individuals are
not forbidden by the law OF Indiana TO
make contracts of Insurance., nor are part
nerships for that purpose forbidden. In
surance contracts are favored and en-
~couraged by the law. and those OF a legiti-
mate and proper nature are not opposed
TO public policy. In the case OF State vs..
Alderman, 81 Ohio ST., 1853; "A J.. X. A
29S, II was held by the Supreme Court or
Ohio that, under their statute, individuals
not residing in Ohio could not make con-
tracts OF insurance. This decision Is not
wholly based upon the Ohio statute. In
SO far as IL Is good lawn so far as IL
goes beyond the statute. and holds that In
dividauls in the absence OF statutory pro-
hibition may not write contracts OF In
surance, IL has not been followed and APP
proved by the decisions of other courts.
II was upon that decision and before any
of the others TO which / refer that Attorney
General Smith wrote his opinion in 1891.
Since then the courts have held In enect'
i'm the following cases. that. In the alb
sence of any statute forbidding insurance
contracts by individuals or partnerships.
such contracts could be made and enforced.
and such is, / think, the law In Indiana.

NOT a TIME FOR SILENCE.
Republicans should Utter Their Opin-
ions and Decline to Be Muzzled.
To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journals:

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
Now is neither the time for the Repub-
lican party to become excited, nor yet is it
prudent that the people belonging to that
party should Withhold their views on i'm
portant matters of legislation pending be-
fore Congress. The people by their firesides
may have a clearer view OF public ques-
lions than their representatives at Wash
ington. subjected more or less TO the power
full personal interests that gather at the
seat of government to shape legislation In
favor of private interests as far as pos
sible. Moreover, IL Is neither patriotism
nor true party loyalty for the individual to
omit TO express his approval or ~disapproval
of what is about TO be done that affects
his ~country's welfare. In our national Con-
gress there are always some very able men,
but there are always out OF IL many more
just as able.
SO. 10 be plain about the matter, 1t will
be the first instance in the history OF these
United States that Congress has had TO
institute a campaign of education among
the people TO get them right on a public
question. IL such a course Is found necessary
on the Porto Rican tariff bill. Generally
the people have had a great deal of trouble
in getting Congress right on important
questions.
The situation from the administration
standpoint is certainly an anomalous one.
i imagine that Judge Bundy's advice TO the
people in his recent Richmond speech, TO
withhold expression OF their opinions on
questions pending before Congress in ad-
vance of their settlement will not result
In muzzling anybody but a few weak can
didates for executive favor or blind parti-
sans
TN Porto Rican tariff bin has been tried
at the bar OF public opinion n has been
weli-nigh universally condemned. The
wise thing for Congress and the President
TO dc is TO abandon the campaign of edu-
cation, receive the verdict of the people
and so record IL. j. II. CLAYPOOL..

There is no good reason why Porto Rico
should not be made a Territory with a view
TO its ultimate admission to the Union as
a State. 1t would. of course. require many
years of territorial tutelage, perhaps as
long as New Mexico has already under
gone, about fifty years. but it's people
should have the promise and prospect OF
ultimate statehood. It's separation from
the continent is no objection TO it's final
admission as a State. 1t is not half as far
from Washington as California is, and
water transit from the mainland is easy
and comparatively quick. AS the island
lies in the western hemisphere and apper-
tains geographically to the American CONT
nent the arguments in favor of its ultimate
statehood do not apply to Hawaii or the
Philippines.

Senator Hoar, one of the best lawyers in
the Senate. contends that a tax on products
shipped from the United States into Porto
Rico would be, to all intents and purposes,
an export duty, and therefore unconstitu-
tional. This point was made by the Jour-
nal at the beginning Of the discussion, but
it has not been raised in either branch Of
Congress before. The Constitution says:
mo tax or duty shall be laid on articles
exported from any State" Thi prohibi-
ton Is without limitation as TO place, and
would seem to apply to a duty collected
at the Porto Rico end of the line as well
as at this end.

In the matter Of hot-water heating the
city authorities should be very slow about
granting a franchise to any company. No
doubt the system is feasible and has a good
deal to commend it, but it is still in a de-
veloping stage, and even If important i'm
provements should not be made soon the
city can get the benefit of competing bids
by holding off a few months. 1t goes with
out saying that a full equivalent should
be had for any franchise that may be
granted, and that the public interests
should be carefully guarded.

AS the man who has brought the advo-
Gates of socialism together and written a
concise platform for it in moderate Ian
guage, Mr.. Debs should be it's leader, and
all such men as Golden Rule Jones, of
Ohio, should accept his leadership. If Mr..
Debs does not draw a considerable vote 1t
will be fair to assume that socialism does
not commend itself to a sufficient number
of the American people to be considered
after the election.

ing the purpose of this government to give

that they may each invite one guest for
next Monday evenings entertainment
