CHICACO. wWld's largnt msaU baaaa; aallt Brarrttiiaf known la Kuai Vrofreaa Had by Nabraak Solons Bills ' ' Pass4 ' ! Last Thursday and Friday the house engaged in an extended debate in committee of the whole on amend ments to section 87 of the revenue bill, which provides for the assess ment of railroad property by the state board. As reported in - the bill originally a return is required from the railroad companies showing all manner of details, but the - law does not indicate to the board how it shall proceed to use this information in, as certaining the value of the railroad property and franchises. ' The fight came upon the amendment of Cald well of Clay to tax the railroads upon their full cash value, which should be determined by adding together, the market value of the stocks and bonds. The fusionists stood solidly by this amendment But the railroad lobby raised the cry, "Don't vote with the pops," and defeated the amendment by a vote of 30 to 58. The 36 affirm ative votes Including the 24 democrats and populists; the 12 republicans who broke loose from the railroad lobby being: Nelson, Gilbert, Ten Eyck, and Mangold of Douglas; Fishback and Caldwell of Clay; Rouse of Hall, Meredith of York, Atwood of Seward, Junkin of Gosper, Jahnel of Wash ingtonand Perry of Furnas. Friday the senate passed S. F. 116, establishing roads to lands not on the public roads; S. F. 171r reducing width of public roads; S. F. 129, lien for stock feed and care. 59 Up to last Friday, the 46th day of the session, only 20 bills had passed both houses, 19 of which have been approved by Governor Mickey, and one. S. F. 29. has been vetoed. None of these law3 are of much importance, four of them affecting Omaha aione. The Omaha Bee recalls that in a like period the legislature of 1901 passed 125 bills.:.

There was nothing to prevent the officers' of the mutual hail insurance companies from using all the funds collected for premiums in payment for their sal aries and other expenses connected with the business. The result was that a number of companies were or ganized by unscrupulous men and the policy holders received little or no payments to cover their losses. However,- there is one notable exception to the rule The United Mutual Hail Insurance Association of this city has been economically and honestly con ducted. It has. paid its losses prompt ly and all its members are well satis fied with their treatment There is now pending before the present legis lature House Roll 275, which, if it be comes a law, will prove effectual in requiring hail insurance companies to be honestly conducted in the interest of the policy holders. It provides that "all companies organized under the provisions of this act shall deposit in some bank or banks 60 per cent of all .the income from it3 members, or policy holders, which deposit shall be drawn from said bank only upon check or order issued by the proper officer, or officers of such company; and such check or order shall desig nate the name of policy holder for whose benefit the money is drawn and shall give the number of his policy. The officer of such company having custody of the papers or funds thereof shall enter into bonds to the state of Nebraska in . the sum of $50,000 with some surety company; authorized to do business in Nebraska; said bond to be approved and deposited with the audi tor of public accounts of the state of Nebraska, conditioned for the faith ful accounting of the funds of such company, as provided in this section." If this bill becomes a law as it should the policy holders in mutual, hail insurance companies are insured at a better rate than how prevails in old line fire insurance companies. This law guarantees that at least 60 per cent of all premiums collected will be paid back to the policy holders for losses. The records show that old line fire insurance companies do not pay back more than 45 per cent of tfei,tc?-tal.premIums collected. House Loll 2,5 is a good bill and should be- -come a law.
