Supreme Court Renders Decision
in Kentucky Insurance Case.

(By Associated Press.) F,Et
WASHINGTON, May 14.-Justice Peck
ham to-day delivered the opinion Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States In
the case Of the Travellers Life Insurance
Company vs.. the Insurance Commissioner
Of the State Of Kentucky, in favor Of the
State. ~
The case involved the constitutionaMty
Of the State law authorizing the revoca :
ton of permits given to foreign insurance
companies to do business in the State
when such companies remove to the Fed
era courts cases brought against them
In the State courts. The court held
that such a law covers a right which q
State may properly exercise. Justice
Peckham said that n State may refuse
to permit an outside company to do any
business whatever within its borders.
He therefore held that the State law Is
not In conflict with the Federal Con-
stltuton. -sr7s#54a sas

THE CITNS CREDIT

Under the wise and conservative
management OF the city's affairs the
credit of the town has not only been
maintained, bat is now cqualto that
OF any city of the state. This state
ment is fully warranted by the sale
OF bonds with which to redeem the
old seven per cent. bonds, as noted
elsewhere in this paper. on the en-
tire sale OF over $4,000 oil these
bonds-thc balance OF the seven per
cents. being exchanged iorl's-every
one was sold at "a premium. And
not only that, but the best evidence
that the public has full confidence n
the present management is the en-
tire sale was taken 10y our own peo-
pile who know all about our ci'l al
flirs and city management And
not only is our credit considered y
No. / in our own town. but even lar
beyond our State limit This is dem
onstrated by the fact that parties
in the city OF Chicago bid for the en-
tire issue OF bonds of nearly Sl2o.-
900 at above par.
The City Council, and cspecl-
ally the efficient Finance Committee
are TO be heartily congratulated on
their splendid management OF the
city's finances. which has not only
maintained. but has brought our
credit up equal to thc foremost cities
Of the country.
