= What Insurance Companies Pay

Some one has said that a governing Idea with
Uncle Sam In levying taxes for general revenue
purposes Is ito secure the maximum amount OF
feathers with the minimum amount Of squalling"
The same Idea, perhaps, Is dominant In State
levies.
A growing source of income to the State Is con.
tributed by the insurance companies of various
kind that operate in the State.
The State Board of Insurance Commissioners
is composed Of the State Treasurer, Comptroller
and Attorney General Il has q general super
vision over, and Is empowered to examine into the
affairs of all companies or individuals doing or APP
plying to do an insurance business In Florida.
Under the law creating this board, before GER
.ifcate Ia issued to company to allow 1t to en-
gage in business in Florida, a full statement Of
the company'B oficers, capital stock with
schedule OF Its assets and liabilities sworn to un-
der oa.A by Its manager or representative or Its
officers, must be furnished to the State Treasurer.
No insurance company or association not of the
State can obtain certificate unless 1t furnishes
proof that 1t s possessed OF at least $250000 In.
vested In United States or State bonds or other
bankable security. A company organized under
the laws Of Florida can obtain certificate Of au-
thority upon furnishing proof that 1t owns and has
actually invested In United States or State bonds
or other bankable security at least $4,000 When
company fails to pay Judgment or imposes condh
lions contrary to the law, the State Treasurer Ia
required to revoke It's certificate.
Under the provisions OF the license law Of 1903
insurance companies are taxed as follows:
CHAPTER 51O6
Sec. 90 That each insurance company, assoca-
tion, firm, or individual doing business In this
State including corporations or associations en-
gagged in the business Of insuring accidents to the
person, acting as surety upon bonds guaranteeing
the fidelity Of employees, and insuring employers
against liability for accident to employees. and life

In addition to the regular life and fire insurance
companies operating In the State there are eight
Sick and Funeral Benefit Associations organized
Under Chapter $3.50, Laws of Florida, that are
patronized chiefly by negroes. Such associations
are required to have an actual investment OF
$4,000. Out Of State associations are required to
have an investment of $4,000, with securities to
the market value of $4,000 on deposit with the
State Treasurer.
Under the law the policies of Sick and Funeral
Benefit Companies are limited to 500 each, the
premiums are collected weekly, in amounts rang
Ing from 10 to 80 cents.
Sick and Funeral Benefit Insurance Is defined
as any policy, contract or agreement whereby an
Individual company, corporation or association,
stpulates to provide for the insured, medical at
tendance, medicine and care during disability
caused by sickness or injury, and expense OF
funeral In case Of death, or the money necessary
1or any OF the aforesaid purposes in lieu of such
