Raises Insurance Companies. The bill assesses fire and life insurance | companies on the basis of their gross in- stead of aet earnings, which will make a vast difference, it is held, in the volume of taxés these concerns pay. One plan in this 18 to cateh those companies whose agents make their rettrns directly to their forelgn offices. The bill exempts homs mu- tual companles. Foreign fire insurance companies are taxed locally on their gross receipts of premlums, forelgn life on 2 per cent of their gross premiums, and their assessment is payable to the state treas- nrer. The Nebraska lifo and fire com- ! except fraternal or mutual, aro also assessed locally‘on thelr gross receipts ot premiums. Now that the revenué bill is introduced, the question of the Omaha tax commis- slomer bill, house roll 380, being tacked outo this measure, has again been ratsed. Tt does not meet the approval of the com- mitteemen who framed the revenue bill. Sears, an avowed friend of municipal tax- stion of rallroad terminals, deprecates the wisdom of such a plan. He said today he hoped nothing of this sort would be inder- taken. The sentiment seems to be in favor of having each bill go it alone and stand or fall without the support or disadvantage of the other, and that's about how it will come out. Lodk to Omaha Men. But still the fate of house roll 330 and the attitude of certain members looms up %8 a most pertinent and interesting prop- ositfon, entirely too interesting to sult some of these members. The Douglas county men oaturally are looked to to assume a posi- tive leadershlp of this Omaha bill to give Omaha and every other municipality in the state the right of taxing railroad terminals at thelr fair cash vaiue. Are they looked to In vain? That is a question of rmuch moment, and upon it hangs the political fate of some people. This house roll 330, as a man remarked today, is going to be a Jomab to political plans and ambition Of course it. has been known all along that the republicans, so vastly o ihe ma- Jority in both houses, would not be & unit on._ this proposition. They need not apd yet command sufficfent strength to pass the blil. It i now believed that when the show-down comes the majority of the mi- nority will be found against H. R. 330, From. choice? Well, that is doubted. From political Wisdom or expediency? That is doubted, too. Kennedy*the lone Douglas county demo- crat, appears to be earnestly working for the passage of this bill. He bas endeav- ored to’get :the: Douglas county members to caucus on it and shape definite and systematic plans for carrying it terough. But he has not succeeded. The Douglas county ‘delegation actually has meyer held @ caucus. to decids ‘what its course would be on this, the most important measure to their constitutents before the. leg ture. Mr: Kennedy today sent word (o Chalrman Goss of the Omaha city commit- tee to got his men togetber on this thing at once or he might decidy to go it slone and do what he could for the success of the bill Loomis Lays Down.

R. 172, penalizing the docking of horses’ tails by a fine of $100 to $300 or imprisonment of oneé year, has been recommended for passage by the house committee on miscellancous subjects. It has become a very popular measure and scarcely any doubt is entertained as to its passage. Alfred Millard, president of the Omaha Humane society, has addressed a letter to Mr. Ten Eyck, making an urgent appeal for the passage of the bill. Mr. Millard calls attention to the fact that in Mas chusetts heavy fines are imposed for this inhumane practice and that Colarado for- bids the Importation of a hore so mal- treated. A petition signed by several hundred of s acuve cltizens was also re- y Mr. Ten Byck, pleading for the passage of the bill.

Louls exposition. Daring the long roll call by states and chapters, Mrs. Fairbanks instructed the chairman of the house committes to take possession of the doors and keep the dele. gates In until the roll call had been con- eluded. . The, afternaon session was ushered in by & lively tilt over the question of seating all the state vice-regents as alternates to state regents. The motion to that effect was made by Mrs. Robert E. Park of Georgla, who, with Mrs. Donald McLean of New York, led the afirmative side of the debate, while Mrs. A. C. Draper of-this city led the negative. It was finally voted- to seat the vice re- gents in the absence of the regents.

This took place at the conclusion of the busi- ness session of the convention. When adjournment was announced, Mrs. Fairbanks, leaning on the arm of General Warfield, and followed by the national of- | ficers and delegates to the Daughters of the American Revolution and members of the Sons of the American Revolution and the guard of Minute men, proceded to tho site of the new building where had been erected the historic flagstafft which had been used at the inauguration of President McKinley. The flag was attached to & rope in the hands of Mrs. Fairbanks, and with a “hip, hip, hurrah,” it was holsted aloft, to the tune of the “Star Spangled Banne! sung by the crowd below. Mre. Fairbanks announced that the house of representatives had passed a bill ex- empting the property, including the pro- posed hall, from taxation, which would re- sult in & saving of probably §2,500 annually to the ociation, The statement was re: celved with cheers.
