PASS THE BILL.

7 HE HOLLINGSWORT bill, which
L provides that state officers who
travel on passes shall not be entitled
TO collect mileage from the common
wealth. should be passed. 1t has be-
come a practice SO common that it
may almost be called a custom, for
state officers to ride on railroad passes
and then turn i'll expense accounts for
fare which they pretend to have paid.
We have no objection to these gentle
men riding on passes if they desire to
do 50. That is matter they must de-
termine for themselves.
But we do object to officials taking
money for expenses they have not in
CURED, just as we would object to pay
ing them for services they have not
rendered. 1t is a form of petty graft
that should be tolerated no longer.
When the law granting mileage to Of
ficers who are compelled to do more or
less travelling was passed, il never
contemplated the payment of money
10 those who paid out no money for
travelling. We cannot regard the col
lection Of railroad fares by users Of
passes as anything but downright dis
honesty.
The fact that it has become the
custom by no means makes it right
The habitual commission of d wrong
does not change that wrong into vir-
tue. Attempts have been made in pre-
vious legislatures TO enact such law
as the HoilingswOrth measure. In
variabIy however, the officials and
their friends have mustered enough
influence to defeat it. We trust this
legislature win look at this matter
from the right standpoint. They should
pass the bill
Let the officials ride on passes by all
means, if they can get passes, and if
they desire to use them, but in the
name of common honesty do not let
them add to their incomes by cheap
grating.

THE INSURANCE BUSINESS.

It HE GROWTH of the insurance
business is one of the most Pie
nomenal features of the -country's de-
velopment during the last ten years.
according to the American Under
writer, which furnished figures in sup
port of the statement. The Under
writer considers the decade between
1894 and 1904 "a decade without a
parallel in the history of American in
surance. Illustrative of the gains
made by the insurance business the
following comparisons are offered:
manufacturers. total value, $14,O29. =
S2e,ss3; increase OF 1873 per cent over
1898.
Railways. gross earnings. $, 9OO.-
S46.sO7; increase of 55.7 per cent over
1898.
Exports, domestic and foreign, 81
42o.14l.679; increase of go per cent
over 1893
Customs receipts. $2S4, 479. 5S2; in
crease Of 39.S per cent over 1898.
internal revenue receipts, $22O, S1O,-
124; increase of 43.S per cent over 1893
"Postoffice department. receipts, s134, =
pa. 4S3; increase of 76.S per cent over
1893.
American insurance. gross re-
ceipts, $79s.47L317; increase of 1922 per
cent over 1898"
Other interesting figures as follows
are given:
In 1893 the gross receipts of POI in
surance companies We're 1894, 973, 1896; in
1903 the gross receipts of 246 COM
panies aggregated s79S, All, 81. In 1893
the payments to policy holders
amounted to Sos. 6TS. $50 and in 1903
they reached 1884, S49.151. Total adj
mitted assets in 1898 were s.. 24I, 6I7. 255
and in 1903 they were S2.6S1, O45. S25.
In 1893 the surplus funds were sl65.-
764. 2O6 and in 1903 they were 1856. s57.-
OIL. From a total of 1871 .O39 policies
and risks i'm force in 1898 the number
grew to 4.42S.627 in 1903.
The Insurance commissioner of the
state Of New York has also been
gathering figures. They show. as the
other figures show, that about one
fortieth of the wealth of the nation is
in the hands of the insurance com
Danies; that their assets are equal to
nearly one-fourth of the capital stock
OF all the railways; that they could
capitalize all the national banks sew
eral times over; chat their cash and
easily convertible assets are almost
as great as all the deposits in all the
savings banks.
And the insurance business in this
country is not such an old institution,
either if very few of the companies
are excepted.

that that the Commercial Club
give it a bonus of $4,000 to assist
it to purchase new location and

The Sheath Glass Company,
which is also flint glass concern.
is also asking that it be taken care
of for a new site and to install gas
producers. This company has been
offered inducements to locate in
