products sent to this country at lower tariff rats
would compensate for the decrease in duty

r. W. Breckenridge. of Omaha, chairman OF ths
insurance committee of the American Bar A.so
citation At the August meeting of this associa-
ton. at Narragansett Pier. Mr.. Breckenridge
made motion to have his committee instructed
such control. The opposite view of the question
was presented to the COMMITTEES by George
Whitlock. of Baltimore. The Bar Association.
by vote of 113 to 20. sent to it's Insurance
committee for consideration a resolution declar-
ing federal control Of insurance illegal and un-
constitutional under the decisions OF the Sill
preme Court OF the United States
Mr.. Whitlock was the author Of that resoIu
ton. and presented that view to-day. Mr.
Breckenridge presented statistics to show that
the insurance business was national and nor
local in character. OF twenty OF the largest life
insurance companies. he said only Is per cent
they were chartered.
Mr.. breckenridge read decisions by the su-
prene Court trom which he drew the Conclusion
that the doctrine had been laid down that the
court was not bound by the precedent of pre-
Vlous decisions on constitutional questions and
suggested the decision on the income tax case
was contrary to previous decisions He also
cited the case OF Carroll against Greenwich de-
oided in 1903. by the Supreme Court IN which
fire insurance was held TO be commerce
Mr.. WhitloCk commended that the American
