BILL FOR A NEW METHOD OF TAXATION Mennte I'nmira Mennurc Similar to Ono Killed In lloime l.imt Week for Iti'KOlntlon of Stipulated Pre in I o in Life CoiuiMiiilcH. DES MOINES, March 30. (Special Tclo gram.) Two Important Insurance measures wero put through tho legislature this after noon, after mcnt of ttio day was spent in discussing them. Ono Is tho senate bill for n new method of taxation for Ion a insur ance companies. Tula measure waa hurried through tho house thlt afternoon, scut back to tho senate, whero It was enrolled and messaged to tho governor nt once. It has n publication clause and will become a law In the morning. This action saveu the In suranco companies of the Btato the embar rufwment which would have been occasioned without It, as their certificates, which were extended by tho legislature ono month from March 1, that a new law might bo put through, explro April 1. The bill, as de scribed when It passed tho senate two dnya ago leaves the 1 per cent tax on gross re ceipts of tho companies nnd adds a emnll local tax, enough to avoid the unoonstttu ttonnllty of having no such tax. The other Insurance bill went through tho senate and is similar to ono killed by the house la.it week, for tho regulation of stipu lated premium life Insurance companies Stipulated premium companies have been doing business tinder authority supposed to bo granted to them by section 1797 of tho code. Last Juno Attorney General Hemley hold thnt this section does not legallzo the business of theso companies A new law 's necessary to prevent $30,000,000 worth of this sort of Insurance Issued In Iowa from being Invalidated. Tho chief chnngo tho bill makes In tho old law Is that it takes away tho saving clauso which enabled companies to mako special assessments on stipulated premium policies to cover death lotwes and other expenses. Tho proposed law requires such companies to collect sufficient premium to cpver nil such losses and expenses. The bill also empowers companlwi organ ized under it to Issue level premium policies nnd makes provisions for tho regulation of such policies. Under tho bill tho charges to bo made aro fixed and It will be lnipos slblo for companies to cut rates nnd Issue Insurance at lower rates than aro advisable. It is satisfactory, not only to the attorney general, but to the companies Invohcd. A resolution was Introduced In tho house by Nicolau9 providing that as trusts and combinations wcro known to be detrimental to tho Interests of tho people nnd ns pro tectlve tariff furthered the Interests of trusts, our senators and representatives In congress bo Instructed to attempt to remove the tariff from all artlclea controlled by trusts. Upon motion of Eaton of Mitchell, the resolution waa. tabled by a strict party vote. Tho resolution of Anderson of Warren, to recall tho Porto HIco roiolutlon from tho senate, waa not called up and It Is probable no attcmptwill bo mndo to put it through. Tho house passed the measure by Temple providing that tho compensation of the supremo court reporter be Increased from $000 to $800 per,volujjie. An amendmont by Dyers was jl'doptKl providing that the amount do not exceed $2,000 In any year. Thero was considerable opposition to tho blll. 4but It received fifty-two votes on the flna"l rollcall. Tho bill reinstates tho old provision thnt tho' reporter may publish legal propositions made by counsel in the argument nnd the authorities cited, also may annotate any caso published or refer to any publication In which' tho caso Is also re ported. Tho amount of 6uch matter shall not exceed fifty pagen In any ono volume. Tho houso laid on tho tablo tho motion to reconsider tho voting machine bill passed cstorday nnd continued tho discussion of the Insurance bill. Tho scnato passed two houso bills, one giving county mutuaU the right to Insure against burglary and robbery of banks, bankers, loan companies nnd county treas urers and tho ono providing that notlco of destruction to Husslnn thistles tfhall bo given to board of trustees Instead of prop, crty ownors. Tvo Li'kiiIIxIiik Act. The senato passed two legalizing acts, ono by Harriman, legalizing tho nets of the board of directors of tho Independent Bcbool' district of Ooodcll, Hancock county, and an other by" llnchman, legalizing a change In tho boundary lines of tho Indepndent echool district of Hodman. Palo Alto county. boverni measures of minor Importnnce wero passed by tho houso at Its afternoon session, Including a bill to reimburse Wnpello county In tho sum of $196.47 for tho maintenance at tho Mount Pleasant Insano hospital of one, Esaaco Polllm, whoso resi dence was nover determined, Hazlcton's sidewalk bill, which passed tho senato some tlmo ago, was nmonded to allow sidewalks to bo mado of nny material, In stead of stipulating such, providing tho cost la not over 40 cents per lineal foot, and then passed. Tho eennto bill giving tho Btate dairy commissioner threo assistants at a salary of $1,006 annually was also passed. Tho senate passed tbo Perrln bill provid ing a penalty for desecration of tho flag, In nn amended form to lncludo only tho crime of tearing or trampling the emblem. Tim Annate refused to act on the houso resolution tlxlng April 5 as final adjourn untll next Monday. Evening Bessie ns were held by both houses to clear tho calendar of minor bills.
