"Whatever else may be said of the leg.
Islature just adjourned. It must be given
rrrdlt for refusing to countenance any
scheme concocted by th! wgents of alien
companies to harass ami embarrass the
home life and accident companies) and fra
ternal societies." aald 11. 11. Roblson, pres
llciit of the Bankers Reserve Life, aa he
turned from the accumulated correspond
ence covering his dealt In the home office
of the company In Omaha.
"The alien combine, headed by a shrewd
New Tcrk attorney, sought to defeat the
ulll of the people declared In both party
platforms for a tax upon nonresident life
Insurance companies. One general agent
of an alien company, a member of the
house, made the speech of his life agalnet
this Just and proper tax. In which he made
a personal unwarranted and pusillanimous
attack upon me and the Hankers Reserve
Life. The legislature by an overwhelming
majority fixed the tax at i per cent of the
gross premiums, thua adding to the reve
nue of the state $50,000 per year.
"The alien agenta attempted to Incorpo
rate a provision Into the law which would
render the nonresident life Insurance com
pany aectlon unconstitutional, but the leg
islature cut thla out.
"With a general agent of one of the great
eastern life companies In a position of In
fluence In the legislature, the aliens seemed
sure they could enact some sort of a law
to cripple the home companies. The Ne
braska Life Underwriters' association there
fore drafted two bills and caused them to
bo Introduced. Doth were vicious measure
aud would have been a serious hindrance to
the home companies. The member of the
legislature who Is general agent of an
alien company by main force dragged one
of these bills out of the hands of the house
committee on Insurance and the sifting
committee, but the house burled It too deep
tor resurrection. The other waa so rank
that neither the senate nor the house com
ratttee would recommend It. It was known
aa H. R. 429.
"The bill which the house killed after
hearing an eloquent speech In Its favor
from the speaker, and after he had amended
It somewhat, contained the following pro
vision:
" 'No life insurance company or mutual
beneAt association shall make any contract
that provtdea for subsequent financial ben
eflts to some members at the expense of
other members, etc' This was clearly In
ended to prohibit the mutual assessment
life companies In this state from doing
business. It would cut out also great as
sessment companies like the Bankers Life
of Dea Moines. A mutual assessment life
company called the Nebraska Mutual Aid
association at Stromsburg, which hat over
$2,000,000 in force, and the Scandinavian
Mutual Aid association at Minden has over
$1,500,000 at risk. A third company at Al
linnce, Neb., which has over $500,000, al
though not yet a year old. The aliens
sought to repeal our mutual benefit law by
this bill.
"The other bill was directed especially
at the natural premium and stipulated pre
mlum companies. It died It the commit
tees of both houses and the special repre
sentative of the life Insurance trust re
fuses to be comforted.
"Another bill known at 8. F, 254 and H
R. 427 was agreed to by John Steel and
John II. Mockett, representing, the alien
combine and the representatives of the
home companies, especially of the Bankers
Reserve Life association. It waa drawn by
the attorney of the litter company, ac
cepted by both the ether gentlemen and
offered to the house Insurance committee
by Speaker Mockett, who In the presence
of the committee promised for the allena
to support It.
"However hagvlng been defeated on the
other bills and blaming the Bankers Re
serve Life for organizing the fraternals and
the assessment companies againat hit pet
measure which he had pulled out of the
sifting committee, the speaker attempted to
engraft It upon the measure he had agreed
'to support, by a little parliamentary leger
demaln he aucceeded In passing his amend
ment In the house. The senate refused to
concur and the National Life Insurance
trust was again foiled.
"However having been defeated on the
bulldoxcd or entrapped. Into the enactment
of any life insurance law which could be
used as a club to hinder the organization or
growth of Nebraska life companies and

FESTIVAL OF THE PASSOVER
Jewish People Commence Observance
of Their Most Snored Celebration.
The members of the Church of Judah,
reformed and orthodox alike, began yes
tcrday evening at sundown the observance
and celebration of the great Jewish festival
of Pesach, or the Passover. This celebra
tlon, which is one of the most sacred In
the calendar, lasts for seven days. The
congregation of the Harney street temple,
which Is of the reformed church, will ob
serve only the first and last days, but the
Russian synagogues celebrate the first and
last two days and continue some observ
ances throughout the week. In the Harney
street temple and at the orthodox syna
gogues at Twelfth and Capitol avenue and
on Dodge street short services only began
the festival, starting at 1:30 and lasting
less than an hour. Rabbi Simon delivering
no lecture.
Thia morning at 10 o'clock Rabbi Simon
will conduct services in the Harney street
temple and lecture under the heading
"Light," this being a continuation of bis
lecture of Friday evening on "Do We Live
In Darkness?" There will be no further
special aervlcea In this temple until Ft I
day evening. In the Omaha Hebrew school
synagogue In Woodmen hall. Sixteenth and
Capitol avenue. Rabbi Rosor will lecture
this morning on "The Exodus of Israel
from Egypt." Rabbi Jraceman of the Rua
sian synagogue on Capitol avenue and
Rabbi Grodzlnsky of the Basehamereth
Hagodal aynagogue on South Thirteenth
street will also conduct morning services
The principal observance of yesterday
evening, however, was in the homes of the
people, where after the services early ended
for that reason, the worshipers went to
the "seder," the feast of unleavened bread,
In the orthodox synagogues the old forms
are adhered to very strictly, the seder
being repeated this evening, and through
out the week only unleavened bread being
eaten, and other foods, all of which have
been specially prepared for the festival.
Thlt featt commemoratea the deliverance
of the Israelites from the Egyptian slavery,
when the race first took Its place aa a
free and Independent nation, bearing a
divine mission. It wat called the feast of
unleavened bread from the fact that the
deliverance came so suddenly that there
waa no time for the bread made for the
Journey to be allowed to rise. The cele
bration of the feast Is many times enjoined
In - the books of the Mosaic law, and
through times of oppression the custom
has been religiously adhered to.
In addition to Its commemorative slg
nlflcance, the feast Is also a harvest festi
val, for In Palestine at this time of the
year the grain became ripe and the harveat
waa made. This festival was begun by a
solemn ceremony lu the temple on the
morning tallowing the Inauguration o the
Passover, wherein an offering waa made
of a measure of barley, the first of the
harvest. Before the completion of thl
ceremony no one waa allowed to use any
of the grain.
The Feiacli waa generally observed In
Israel because of Its great significance,
and during the time of the Second Temple
It grew In Importance, until It became the
great popular festival, and Jews from all
countries traveled to Jerusalem to be pres
ent at ltt celebration.
