The Insurance Union
Levies a Specific Tax
Upon the Policy Holders
of the Territory,
To Meet the License Tax Fixed
by the Late Legislature.
The Increase Which Takes Effect
September I, Amounts to Ten
Per Cent of the Premium.
The property owners and business
men of Arizona are threatened with a
new and unexpected expense, an im
portant increaeo in an already high
rate of fir a insurance.
The following circular wai received
yesterday by local agents of the various
Are insurance companies opsrating un
der the combine known as the Pacific
Insurance Union :
Office of Ornkral Manaoeb
Pacific Insurance Union,
Ban Francisco. Aug. 21, im.
Whereas the expense o( transacting the
business of Are Insurance In Arizona baa been
Increased by the law pasted at the last session
of the territorial legislature, which Imposes a
license tax upon each agent dolus buslnest In
said territory,
Resolved, That on every poller, taking ef
fect on and alter September 1, 1893, an addl
tlonal charge, equal lu amount to ten per
cent of the premium, shall he added as a
specific tax to be collected and remitted by the
agents,
The above rule applies also to all policies
written to replace policies canceled after the
data of this circular.
Though some of the local managers
were aware that the union contemplat
ed an action of this character, many
had had no advice of it, and tho cir
cular was received with surprise, and It
may be added, with dissatisfaction,
since the union's course, if persisted in,
is likely to create a revolution in the
insurance business in the territory.
The actionMs regarded as retaliatory
upon an net of tho late legislature, and
the animus ol retaliation is shown more
clearly in that clause which declares
that the 10 per cent additional charge
shall be considered a "specific tax" to
ofTeet, presumably, the license tax im
posed upon the agents. This careful
und unnecessary differentiation of the
increased premium is likely in itself to
arouse opposition among policy holders
penso.but would never pay the increase
If it were regarded as a penalty imposed
on account of the shortcomings of the
legist iture.
Tho legislation to which reference is
made is the following clause of Act 83,
an act to amend par. 2,23!), R. S. :
All persons, firms or corporations, or agent or
agents of such persons, firms or corporations,
doing or conducting In this territory any In
surance business, or who Insure against lots by
tire, shall pay a quarterly license tax of $10 per
quarter.
ft is said that tho rnto per cent by
which the "'specific tax" is to be raised
is based upon a careful estimate of tiie
business written by the Union on oue
hand and tho aggregate amount of li
cense tnx to be collected by the territory
from the agents of tho companies in the
Union on the other, tho purpose being
to equalize the amounts. It will be re
membered that a bill was introduced
into the council during the last legisla
ture to compel foreign .insurance com
panies to give bond lor the payment of
losses. This bill was defeated, but the
indignation of the insurance companies
was aroused, a clrcumstnnco whicn may
account to a slight extent for tho ap
pearance of the circular.
The present rate of insurance aa es
tablished by the union is graduated
from 50 cents to $7.00 on each $100, ac
cording to the nature of the risk, though
there is a Btill higher rate of $10 on
$100 on hay or grain1 in stacks. It will
easily be "seen that the "specific" tax
will add a weighty burden to a certain
class of policy holders.
Local agents in tho territory
aro non-committal concerning the
circular, though some of them
say that the insurance business
even before tho fixing of tho license tax,
was not profitable, bo that nothing was
left the companies but to either meet
this additional expenso by tho specific
tax or to retire from the torritory.
The agents regret that this added
rate has been mado necessary, but they
are disposed to lay tho blame upon tho
legislature.
Tho course of tho union leaves to
policy holders in tho territory only
three things to do; to oither pay tho
tax, go without insurance, or organize
local companies. Tho insurance busi
ness on tho coast is absolutely without
competition in tho matter of rates, and
every company now doing business in
tho "torritory" is represented in that
circular, to whether the object of the
union ia to reimburse itself or to ac
cumulate unearned profltn, it may bo
easily seeu that it has a "cinch."
The insurance combine is becom
ing closer in the east and at
tempts have been made within
the past year to increase the
rate. Jn some cities the effort has
been successful, though in others, tho
companies which declare themselvos to
be "on the squaro and out of the ring."
have been sufficiently numerous to hold
tiie rato down
Four months ago, nn increased rate
was declared by tho boards of under
writers, in tho cities of Omaha, St.
Joseph and Kansas City. The declara
tion was met by a quiet withdrawal of
business by patrons on the maturity of
their policies and a corresponding in
crcaso of business among the outsido
companies. In those cases, various
firetexts wore assigned for the proposed
ncreaso, and in ono case, adverse leg
islation was alleged as in the present
instance.

your lifo beheld the full face of our
"silvery sister world." By way of solu
tion let us see what it take to consti
tute a 'full inoon' in the exact sense of
the term. A full moon occurs only
when our obsequious attendant is one
hundred and eighty degrees of longi
tude from the sun, Old Sol and the
earth being in the ecliptic Hut the
moon's orbit is inclined to the ecliptic
at an angle of five degrees eight min
utes lorty-scven seconds, and is there
fore never on the ecliptic except when
at its "nodes" or crossings.
This being tho case, what we call
the circular disk of tho moon (full
moon) lncks considerable of being an
exact circle, being what astrono
mers term "in a btatc of globosity,"
and is never a perfect disk except
when "a full moon" happens exactly
ns the time when Luna is crossing tho
cell ptic, at which time she must neces
sarily bo centrally eclipted,. One of our
best present day astronomers, in con
cluding an article of much merit on
the bamo subject, says: "We therefore
conclude that a real full moon, one
having a perfect circle, has rarely, if
ever, been been."
WOODEN MONEY IN ENGLAND.
Notched Sticks Used Heforo tho Bank or

Wooden money, in the shape of ex
chequer tallies, was, prior to the es
tablishment of the Hank of England
in 1091, current in tho country named.
Tallies was the name given to tho
notched sticks formerly in use in Eng
land for keeping the accounts in tho
exchequer. They are described by
Tid-Ilits ns square rods of hazel or wil
low, inscribed on one side with notches
indicating the sum for which the tally
was an acknowledgment, and on two
other sides with the same sum in
Roman characters. When the trans
action was completed, the tally record
ing it was split lengthwise, so that
each section contained a half of each
notch and one of the written sides.
One-half, called the tally or check, was
given to tho person for whose 6ervico
it was intended; the other half, called
tho counter tally, was retained in tho
exchequer until its corresponding tally
should bo brought in by the person

who had last given value for it. It
thus became a current token repre
senting cash. After th c establishment
of the Hank of England government
payments were made through its
ngency. The use of tallies in the ex
chequer was abolished by statute 23,
George III. The old tallies were, by
acts 4 and 5, William IV., ordered to
be destroyed, and it was the burning
of them that caused the conflagration
by which the old houses of parliament
were demolished.
Superstition or Itruve Feoplc.
If one will take tho trouble to go
through the names of most of the
bravest people in history, he will find
that theynearlyall suffered from some
superstition or other. Xapoleon l!ona
parto wns simply eaten by supersti
tions, and so was the duke of Marl
borough. Literary men have always
been notoriously superstitious, from
the days of Dr. Johnson, who would go
hack half a mile if he remembered that
he had omitted to touch any one of
the lampposts on his daily walk, to
Dean Swift, who would never change
a garment if he found that he had
put it on inside out, nnd Lord Ityron,
who would get up and leave a dinner
party instantly if anybody spilt the
salt. Statesmen have not been ex
empt from superstitions either. Lord
ICcaconsficld would always take espe
cial care to enter tho house with Ws
right foot foremost when he was going
to make a big speech. Mr. Parncll had
a strong prejudice against sitting in a
room with three candles. William Titt
would return homo at once, however
important his business, if he inct a
cross-eyed man in the street, while Sir
Hobcrt Peel would always make the
sign against the evil eye with his fin
gers and thumb under similar circumstances.
