the old decisions OF the supreme court
of North Carolina were followed. the

the United states Supreme court had
rendered decisions which made this

INSURANCE MEN PROTEST
OPPOSE Law RECOMMENDED BY
REVISION CRITI-
: CISM OF TAX Law.

s
= Insurance interests in Minnesota are
up in arms against the insurance law
as drawn by the statutes revision COM
mission. The new requirements force
q percentage tax on all insurance car
RED in Minnesota by foreign companies
to defray the cost Of annual examina-
tions of the financial condition Of the
various companies doing business in
this state. Under the existing law, ex-
aminations are made Of companies and
the fees charged on order Of the insur-
ance commissioner and as he deems nee
essary. The new law demands the pay
ment of these same fees "a percentage
tax on insurance in force) by every
company operating in the state, wheth-
er examined or not.
Minnesota insurance companies are
opposed to the new provision because
Of the retaliatory insurance laws Of
other states, which, they say, will make
the Minnesota companies pay similarly
exorbitant taxes. J 80 r.

tinue to appear. An expert on tax laws
