could impose any license, imposition or
other form OF tax at all on insurance cor
poratiOns, or upon the agents OF such
corporations carrying on an insurance
business in State other than that which

Citing various decisions bearing upon

says;
This does not mean that the real

within the State Is not subject TO taxa
ton. in like manner as other property
but merely that the regulation Of the busl-
ness within the State. or the eXaction OF

CHEAPER INSURANCE
BY FEDERAL CONTROL
Darwin p. Kingsley Explains
His Plan for National
Supervision.
BIG SAVING IN TAXATION
Will start Countrywide Cam
paign for Amendment
to Constitution.

Darwin r. Kingsley, president Of the
New York Life Insurance Company. out
lined last night his plan Of campaign to
obtain an amendment to the United states
Constitution by which the supervision of
insurance would be taken away from the
States. He wants Congress to have the
power to regulate the business OF insur-
ance."
He maintains that the adoption Of such
an amendment is OF vital Importance to
the polcyholder himself because It would
mean cheaper insurance. The saving In
taxation alone to all the insurance compa e
MES in the country would be $4,000, 900
n year, MFR. Kingsley says.
In addition. he asserts. there would be
savings in other ways. for the insurance
companies would not have to deal with
insurance departments in every state and
would not he compelled to hire lawyers
90 appear before each State Legislature To
argue for or against legislation. The re-
suit would be relief from much confusion
and the installation OF n national iusur-
ance commissioner There would be one
list OF regulations instead OF forty eight,
one form OF policy instead OF many and
only one system OF handling Insurance
matters.

paign." said MIR. Kingsley last night. VIII
be to submit to the insurance executives
throughout the country the question as ia
whether or not they want Federal super
vision Of insurance business. In asking
this question I am sending to them the
opinion OF former United States Senator
John c. Spooner on the legal effect of the
