Jackson, Miss, October 22-Insur-
ance men generally, and agents of
surety companies in particular will be
interested in a case decided by the
supreme court of Mississippi, in which
the insurance commissioner comes out
loser. The case was that of w. @.
Cole, insurance commissioner VS..
American Surety Company, an appeal
from the Kinds County circuit court.
l.. Brame, Jr., the young attorney of
this city, who mysteriously disap-
peared at Vicksburg a few months
since, as agent for the Surety Com
pany, applied to the commissioner for
license to transact business in Kinds
County, rendering SIS as the fee for
such license. The commissioner de-
manded $50 as the fee for privilege,
and Brame declined to pay. He then
instituted mandamus proceedings to
compel the insurance commissioner to
accept the S. as the legal privilege tax
due in cities of over 1000 inhabi-
tants. The mandamus was granted by
the court below, and the supreme
court affirms that decision. The effect
is that agents for guarantee and sure
ty companies will have to pay a privi-
lege tax of only SIS per annum in each
county, whereas heretofore they have
paid $50
