name OF the giver of these windows could not be

NR. LAWSONS CLAIH.

Nothing official has been given out concerning
:he eligibility of Mr. Lawsons boat for entry in
the Americas Cup trial races. and. although in
diyidual opinion has been good deal quoted ii
would be unsafe TO draw conclusions therefrom.
On January II we said that the question of eligi-
blity should not he left open. AT that time two
boats were under consideration. and The Trib-
une called attention to the large amount of OK
pense about to be incurred. and said that a de
cision was needed on this point There was
then general belief that if the club intended
to exclude the Boston trial boat or boats its
purpose should be declared so as to prevent
huge expenses continuing. Since then the gen
eral meeting of the club has been held and the
special cup committee has also met. but
announcement has been made, so that it may
perhaps not improperly be assumed that the
club intends to accept the fullest and best de
fence that the nation is able TO offer
Mr.. Tawson's most recent announcement that
he will enter his boat under his own name, and
not previously said, under the name of Il
member of the club conveys the suggestion that
he may already have been legally advised
10 the construction of the instrument or instru-
ments under which the cup is in the possession
of the present trustees. An interesting point
may therefore be expected to come up for
gument in case Mr.. Lawson's entry be declined.
We have already mentioned a part OF Mr.. Law
sons case in quoting the original transfer, which
said that the trophy should remain las per-
"petual challenge cup for friendly competition
between foreign countries" but there is an
other clause in the present deed which. il may
be argued defines more clearly the conditions
of defence With matter not relating to this
point left out, the clause reads: ANY organized
yacht club of foreign country shall
always he entitled to the right of sailing a
match for this cup with a yacht or vessel pro-
'pelled by sails only and constructed In the
country to which the challenging club belongs
against any yacht or vessel constructed in
1.-The country of the club holding the cup" The
advisers Of Mr.. Lawson say that this broad
specification leaves no doubt that the defence
Of the cup intended to be in every respect
national and that II cannot he so strained 70
confine the defence TO the fleet of any one club.

resources Of the particular company to which
they directly pay premiums, but in a measure
the insurance capital of the whole world. The
more widely reinsurance prevails the safer are
the insured. Manifestly good public policy calls
for the encoura cement of the reinsurance habit,
and any tax which discourages it is tax on the
security Of policies Even if there were no ques
ton OF double taxation in the proposed impost
on reinsurance it would be unwise to put this
obstacle in the way of conservative division Of
risks But the tax Is not only unwise. but
unjust Reinsurance does not mean new pre-
MUM. 1t means merely the division OF the old
premium. The profit from a policy for definite
term is certain sum. and that may properly he
taxed. There is no additional profit created for
taxation by passing on a part of the risk with
corresponding share of the premium, so that
several companies instead of one guarantee the
insured against loss Clearly, then, it is unjust
double taxation to take additional percent
age from that premium by taxing reinsurance
receipts. The State has already taken toll or
them once. The bill with this inequitable pro
vision is almost at the stage of final passage,
but if it is not too late it should be amended
10 forestall the inevitable need of supplemental
legislation hereafter. The measure on the whole
is good one. and should not be marred by a
defect so patent and so discoura cling TO wise
underwriting.

REINSURANCE

Some misconception seems TO have lodged in
the minds Of the tax revisers at Albany as TO
the meaning OF the term reinsurance" The
bill now on its way through the legislature tax
ing the premiums OF fire insurance companies
fails TO exempt. as the insurance men have
requested. premiums paid for reinsurance. The
lawmakers have resisted this exemption on
the ground that when a company cancels risk
and a new policy has TO be taken ont II is per-
fectly proper TO tax the premium received by
the second company for reinsurance" That
would be a valid argument if it touched the
point at issue. But il does not, for reinsurance
is something entirely different from the writing
of new policy.
Reinsurance is the process by which one COM
pany shares its risks with other companies for
the purpose Of spreading possible losses over as
wide an area as possible. This enables COM
pany TO protect itself and its policy holders from
the dangerous consequences of one concentrated
blow. Some great disaster falling on one COM
pany might wreck it and bring hardship to all
holding its policies But if ii distributes judi
ciously the risks which its agents write. and in
turn shares those of other companies. all are
safeguarded. so that the burden of any one fire,
however large. will he borne by many compa-
MES without embarrassing any one. In line
with this policy a wisely managed company is
careful not 10 write too many policies on build
ings concentrated In one block and so subject
TO one common danger. II also avoids taking
the whole risk on any single large property. and
as An additional precaution rensures itself on a
part of its business.
This system puts at the service OF those
whose property is underwritten not merely the
