THREATENS RETALIATION
insurance Commissioner Cleary Would
Tax New Jersey Companies OPP
Grating in State.

Madison.-The state insurance COM
missioner heard the complaint of Off
GERS Of the Concordia, Milwaukee Me
chanics and Northwestern National
fire insurance companies of Wisconsin,
that New Jersey threatens to collect
taxes on money paid by these COM
panies for reinsurance in New Jersey
companies. Commissioner Cleary as
sured them that if this is done, the
same rule will be applied to New Jer-
sey companies doing business in this
state, which will make a larger tax
than the $4,000 that New Jersey
would collect for the eight years COW
cred by its statute. The Wisconsin
statute permits the reciprocal taxation.

This story is being told-all the
more piquant because it is true-con-
corning the visit of Sir Walter Ra-
leigh, professor of English literature
at oxford. to the United States. 1t
seems that an American gentleman in
London wrote to friend on the other
side, asking him to meet Sir Walter
on his arrival at the pier in New York.
The only description given of Sir Wal
ter was that he was "a very tall man, :"
and it so happened that there were
several men to whom the description
applied When the friend thought that
Sir Walter had come down the gang
way, he went up to him and said:
Excuse me. sir, are you Sir Walter
Raleigh" The gentleman to whom
this question was put happened to be
a very typical westerner, and he re-
piled. mo. sir, I'm Christopher Column
bus Canadian American.
