decision was reached after. Harry
Curran Wilbur, secretary Of the North

appeared before the committee, warn

tax, on top of the 2 IL per cent gross
income tax already levied on all in
surance premiums paid in this state,
might force some of the insurance

work of the peace conference he said
that the conference was making all
