PROTESTS COMING
FROM ALL SIDES
DEFEAT OF THE LICENSE TAX
BILL IS ENCOMPASSED.
The Only Thing That Will Savo It
Is the Willingness of Its Support
ers to Accept the Amendments
Proposed to Be Offered nnd if They
Are Accepted the Measures Will Bo
but a Shadow of Its Former Self.
Insurance Men Point Out Incon
sistencies. Opposition to tho license tnx ordi
nance, which on Tuesday was gener
ally deemed sufficient to kill It, grew
to such proportions, yesterday, that
there now remains no Question of the
measure's death, It will be killed, sure
and sudden, or the various Interested
parties' who have been canvassing
against It nre way off In their reckon
ing. There Is only one chance of It being
saved. If Its promoters are willing to
accept every amendment Its opponents
propose to offer, tho ordinance will be
allowed to exist. In Its amended state,
however, It will bo so different from
Its present form that It will require u
vigorous distention of the Imagination
to nccept the new measure as the
amended form of the old. It will bo
like the Irishman's "same old knife"
that had a new set of blades and a
new handle.
Here Is a list of amendments ono
councilman alone proposes to submit
and Insist upon:
Iteducc tax on trolley companies from 5 per
cent, to 1 per cent.
Reduce tax on gas companies from $1,000 to
sm
ltcducc tax on water companies from ? 1,000' to
?200.
Iteducc tax on fire Insurance agents from $25
to $j.
Reduce tax on non-rcildent fire, life or accident
Insurance agent, solicitor or broker irom $25 '
to $13.
Iteducc tax on life insurance agents from $25
to $5.
Reduce tax on accident Insurance agents from
$15 to $5.
Reduce tax on industrial insurance agents from
$o to $2.
Reduce tax on hucksters (horse and wagon)
from $15 to $10.
Reduce tax on keepers of temporary stands for
the sale of fruit, flh, vegetables or the like
from $15 to $..
Reduce tax on basket peddlers from $10 to $5.
Men engaged In various lines of the
Insurance business are more than a
little disturbed on account of what
they allege are more than unjust pro
visions of the ordinance. There ate
about 300 life, fire, accident and lndus
tilal insurance men affected by It. Of
these the life underwriters are the
most active in their opposition. Yes
terday nnd the day before several of
them, members of the Scranton Asso
ciation of Life Underwriters, visited as
many select councllmen as could be
reached, and the result of the canvass
will be seen in at least n modification
of the Items, if tho ordinance passes in
any form.
INSURANCE MIAN'S PROTEST.
One of these gentlemen said to a
Tribune man yesterday: "That the
ordinance In its general purpose is a
wise measure, Is a matter of individual
opinion. Hut in Its provisions for tax
ing insurance men it is one of the most
unjust Instruments of the kind ever
drafted. AVe should not, however, be
misunderstood in our opposition. AVe
are willing to pay a license tax, but
shall urge amendments.
"Wo advocate, If toxed at all, a uni
form tax of $3 on each life, fire nnd
accident agent and $2 on each Indus
trial agent. In its present shape the
ordinance provides a tax of $23 on life
and lire agents and non-resident
agents, $15 on accident agents and $5
on industrial agents.
"It probably did not occur to those
who drafted the ordinance that the
thirty-eight old-line life companies ara
now paying about $450,000 yearly, or an
average of nearly $12,000 each, for the
privilege of doing business In Penn
sylvania; that, in addition, each agent
pays the state $2 annually for a license
to do business, and that he pays from
$2 upwards for his bond all this, and
his local taxes, makes ciulte an Item,
though technically It has no bearing
on the local point at Issue.
"In rough figures there are In Scran
ton twenty life agencies nnd 175 agents
(including industrial men). Their total
tax under the ordinance would amount
to $4,373. The one hundred agents of
tho fifty fire agencies would be taxed
$2,500. The fifteen agents of the ten
accident agencies would have to pay
$223. All this makes a total of $7,100
from Insurance men quite a propor
tion, when It Is recalled that the early
advocates of the ordinance contended
that they only aimed to provide about
$30,000 Increased city revenue.
AT VARIANCE WITH JUSTICE.
"The tax provided against the Insur
ance men Is so at variance with jus
tice or sense that it is no surprise that
we are up In arms against it. Why,
one agency alone, paying $23 for each
of Its seventy industrial ngents (each
of whom has a license to write the
oidlimry or regular life applications),
would have to pay $1,700, which is more
than tho tax proposed for a telegraph,
electric light, telephone steam heat
ing, gas, water or express company
In fact, the $1,700 Is neaily double the
tax provided for any two of tho class
of corporations mentioned.
"Wo do not contend that the city has
no legal right to tax us and to tax us
much more than Is provided in the ordi
nance. Rut that right prevails only
through one of the peculiar Inconsist
encies of Pennsylvania lnw. Let me
reud you something:
An act to cstabllth an insurance department!
Section 17 I hat it shall not be lawful for any
city, county or municipality to impose or collect
any lkcn.se fee or tax upon Insurance companies
or their agents authorised to transact business
under this act.
Approved the th day of April, A. 11. 1S73 (P.
L. 20). J. V. Hartranlt.
"We have ascertained that the sec
tion read to you avails us nothing. An
opinion of the Supreme court specific
Put a Kodak in your
pocket. All the new
styles to select from
KEMP'S STUDIO
ally mentions Section 17 of the Act, of
'73 and says that despite Its provis
ions wo enn be tnxed. Rut it all shown
there Is a flagrant Incongruity of in
tent. "The moral support of citizens gen
erally will bo with the Insurance) men
In this matter. Among the councllmen
wo find nn Intelligent appreciation of
the situation. They are with us. It Is
my opinion that the tax will be modi
fied ns I have Indicated."
HARDSHIP ON HUCKSTERS.
The objection to the high rate ot tax
on hucksters Is thnt many of them nre
poor men, a goodly proportion of them
Invalids or cripples, who have their
little alt Invested In a horse nnd
wagon nnd able to work only a por
tion of tho year, nnd n dollar tax, to
say nothing ot a fifteen dollar one,
would bo to them a hardship.
There nre those who contend the
ordinance Is, at all events, illegal In
that many of Its provisions nre in con
flict with the Act of 1889.
Under Article V, headed "Corporate
Powers," Section 4, on Page 9, of the
Digest of Laws nnd Ordinances, the
Act of 18S9 says:
limy city of the third diss shall have power
to levy and collect, for general revenue purposes,
a llccne tax not exceeding $100 each, on all auc
tioneer, contractors, druggist', hawkers, peddlers,
produco or merchandise venders, bankers, brok
ers, p-iwn-brokers, merchants ot all kinds, per
sons selling or leasing goods upon Installments,
grocers, eonfectioners, butchers, restaurants,
bottling alleys, billiard tables and other gaming
tables, drays, hacks, carriages, omnibuses, carts,
wagons, street railway cars and other vehicles
used in the city for hire or pay, lumber dealers,
Including commission men and all dealers who
make a business of buying lumber for sile at
wholesale or retail, furniture dealers, saddle or
harness dealers, stationers. Jewelers, livery or
boarding stable keepers, real estate agents, agents
of fire, life or other Insurance compinies, ex
press companies or agencies, telegraph, telephone,
steam heating, gas, natural gas, water, electric
light or power companies or agencies, or Indi
vidual furnishing communications, light, hest or
power by any of the means enumerated and to
regulate the collection of the same.
No ono has risen to question tho
application of this law, and there Is
good rauso to believe It will be in
voked to prevent the collection of the
tax In case tho ordinance passes with
features oflendlng against this act and
offensive to any of the trxed parties.
