Insurance Legislation.

MIR. Deans insurance bill was taken
up In the Senate on Wednesday for its
second reading. Tho law now reauires
that any hre insurance company doing
business IN the State shall deposit $40,
0OV in cash or securities to that sElount
This bill sought to do away with this,
and to make a certificate from the coun-
ty auditor that the comyauy is solvent
and that 20 per cent. of capital stock
has been paid in, all that should be
necessary to engage in busineg
DIR, Dean explsined tha. his bill was
In the interest of home. companies and
wss to relieve the people from the tax
atiors of the old lips companies. SenA-
tor Grueor spoke at some lorgih in ia
vor Of the bill.
The judiciary committee had two re-
ports, the majority 6eing favorable.
Senator Henderson thought thore
should be some deposit somewhere for
the protection Of policy holders. a..
Senator LiYiugston spoke in favor Of
the bill. Hs said one VI the worst
monopalies in existence is thSt Of the
old line insurance companies, and the
revenue they extract from the people Of
the State is immense. If a pofson de-
sires to take insurance ins local COM
rany bo will investigate its solidity,
and be will not pay money for insur
snoe unless he believes it good, North
Carolina has a similar law, and insug-
Ance rates in tnat State are 70 per cent,
