B~ E1L BUILL is to ba noticed, however, that some of thelr most onlightened suggestions are mude only to be abandoned by them In deferenco to what they reverently conslder to bo thesupe- rior wisdom of the Leglslature, For oxnm- ple, they make a strong avgument in favor of nbollshing the present tux on Ife-lnsurance premiumy, which (s really a tax on fanlly atfection and set-denlal, & tax not lmposed In any forelgn country, no matter how heavy tho burden of taxation inay otherwise be, nor Dby the foremost States In this country, such, a3 New York aud Illinois. They wind up tho argument by proposing, without rea- son nssigned, fo lenve tho tax unchanged. In several respects, the Commissioners seom to have Incked pluck to earry.out their con- victions. Among the new features proposed are sec- tlons intended to modify life-insurance poll- cles in regard o forfeiture, sulelde, rud con- testabliity for misstatements, It Is serfously to bu doubted whether such matters should not be lert to the natueal operatlon of compe- -titlon between the compunivs, 'The Comnilse sloners, In thelr report, are so severs on ** pa- very wnch out of place. f course, If the form of policy employed by any company Is 8o monstrous that no'eit- izen of Iudlann ought to ba sllowed to in- sure with it, the State has the power to pro- hiblt such comynny from doing 'buslness within fts borderd, Presented n this blunt shawpe, the questlon would be decided against exercising such paternal prohibition, in the cise of any exlsthys and reputable enmpany. I'he Commissioners do not put the quustion in that way. ‘Thoy do not suy that any com- pany which seeks to do bushiess In Indlana must Insert such -und such clauses in its policles, If they did they know that few, if uny, companies would yleld to the dictation, A mutual company fn.Now.York could not, without violating Its chartor, give to iis members In Indiuna more tavorable contracts thun to its members residmg elsewhere, It woitld have to choose between chungling Its genern] ‘;lm\s of buslness and withdrawing from tnalana, 1§t chinged its polley form 1o suit Indiana this year, It wonld have to change again_ next year to sult Arkansas, and 80 on. In short, such requirenients would tend to drivo the best companies from the State. In avolding this manifestly unpopular measuro, the Commissloners nnko a serlous biunder In another wiy. Thoir blil purports to override policles Isswed or to be 1asued, “anything In the policy to the contrary not- withstunding.” As applicd to exlsuutz con- tracts, this I3 unconstitutionnl as npplled to nuw contracts, it can only atfect thuse of In- diana, Itso happous that the policles of & New York life-fusurance company are Now York contracts, sven though Issued to residents ot Indiana, *‘The sections inquestion will thore- fore, IE enacted, be futiie und fnetfectunl, ex- cept as applying to Indiana companies, A fire-insurance policy 1ssuud to n resident of Iudlann by u loeal nzent of & Now York compiny i3 ai Indiana contruct, becauss tho agent hns power to mako i1, Lifedusurance agents have no sueh power, the contract_be- ing made nt:the compuny’s home ofiice. This 18 n legal priuciple which has been decided amatln and aguin, With one or twe excep- tons, np State hng ever undertaken to con- trol and override the (ml(uh:s Issuet by life companies of other States, For n few years enthing 10 1877, 0 law was In foree in Massa- chusstts npplying the so-called * non-forfelt- ure.law® to companies of othor States. It was at first doublful whether this was or was not offectunl. Suveral enses nross umder polleles lssued during those years. ‘The coses of Desminzes and Shattuck were de- clded In 1878 by Justlee Clifford; thoss of Whitcomb and Ames In 1870 by Judge Low- el and that of Smith in 1831 Dy Judge Nel- son,—all In the Unlted States Clreuit Court, and'nll declied the sawme way,—to tho eifect that the locya contructi of a Ilfe-nsur ance policy Is nt tho company’s oflice, and that “the lnw did not apply. ‘L' (lunle the waords of Judge Nelson in his decislon In the cnse lust mentloned: *The policies were to bs governed by the Inw of tho Stutes where the companles were In- corporated nnd where the contracts were to be performad, ad the act of 1813 did nat have the sifect to extind to auch policles the Non-LForfelturo net of 180L"” Considered coolly, wut in a common-sense lizht, theso legul decislons are ominently proper. 1t would be [n the last degren Inconvenlent and absurd for tha rlzhis of the several members of n mutual company to vary according to the heterogeneous whims of thirty or forty lucul Leglslatures.
