THE LEGISLATURE.

THE LEGISLATURE.
This week will wind up FIVE weeks
OF the present legislative session. Il
has been cutomary that a session shall
last six weeks and the session does
sast that long whether there IS
a0y special reason for its so doing,
and it never lasts any longer, except
in very rare cases even if there IS
reason for its so doing. Before the
constitutional convention of 1895 the
session always closed just before
Christmas so that the members might
get home for the Christmas time.
Then the session sometimes did not
last more than four weeks. But the
State has grown in population and III
business since those days and l sup
pose it takes more time to transact
the business of the people. There are
more departments that need attention
and more colleges and more atten-
tion is given the common schools ana
all these things take time for theii
proper consideration.

o.
l was in Columbia Tuesday night
and both houses were engaged in the
discussion of the insurance measures
that had been proposed by the COM
mission appointed by the governor "
get up some sort of insurance laws.
They went through like they were
wanted and l suppose they are all
right. I do not know much about III
surance and could not get much IL
.nminat;ng information from the dis
cussions. AS | understood it the i'll
surance companies objected to the
"yalued" clause which is in the act
passed last year, and would not come
back to the State unless the laws are
amended as they suggest. Well, 80
I say, | don't know much about II,
but | would fec; like resenting these
big corporations suggesting to me
what sort OF laws should be passed
if l were a member Of the leglsla-
ture. But that seemed to, be the ar
sument in favor of the new, laws pro-
posed, that they would meet the ap-
proyal of the insurance companies.
If a company writes insurance on my
house for $4,000 and it is only worth
$1,000, and takes the premium at the
$4,000 valuation, if there is fire they
should pay the amount called for in
the policy. Then provide some way
to punish me for swearing to an ov-
eryaluation and the agent for writ
ing the policy for more than tns
house is worth. If man insures his
life for $4,000 and dies the company
pays the policy and the man may not
have been worth 80 cents. But that
was the objection to the Laney-Odom
bill, as understood it.
The appropriation bill has not yet
been discussed and that generally
takes some time and if it does there
is not much chance of final adjourn
ment next week but then they rush
