Special Correspondence of the Gazhttb
Dover, Feb. 14, 1879.
It was only a day or two ago that the
editorial columns of the Gazette con.
taiued an allusion to the heavy tax which
this »State imposes on her owu insurance
companies, while outside companies
doing busiuess iu the State have to pay
comparatively nothing, aud already a
bill is in course of preparation that will
not only remedy this unjust discrimina
tion, but atl'ord other protection to hoi
insurance companies. Jt is really
prising that this ommission on part of
the General Assembly of Delaware has
existed so long when the States are de
fending their home corporations by im
posing at least an equal tax and amount
of license fee upon domestic ami foreign
companies, ami in many cases a higher
tax, miles the latter companies shall
show and prove that its capital is equal
to the amount uf capital required of tin*
State companies. 1 have before
work entitled "Statutory Requirements
Relating to Insurance." Jn this is to W«*
fomid some faets that show the uni
able generosity exhibited
toward outside insurance men.
chusetts has a law which provides that
"every agent of every other company
(except a life company locate« 1 in u State
which does not Impose taxes upon the
premium receipts of Life companies of
this State doing business iu such other
State) shall give bond with security for

Maryland imposée a license tax of 1}
per cent, on all pr«;miuinM exceeding tin;

similiar to the two just mentioned. Dela
ware, however, is tar more favorable to
outaide companies. She charges agents
of such companies a license tax of $50,
