Tans there arc just two parts of the country where an unusual amount of traffic will be or has bean afforded by last year's wheat crop, the Facific Coaat and the Wejtern tier cf States in theUpp?r Mi33issippi Valley. The latter require more miles of transportation by rail than any other wheat-erowing dietrict in tha world. They have a fifth more wheat than in 18', two fifths more than in 13S2, and more th&n twice as much as in lbl or earlier years. On the other nand, the loading wheatprowine States farther east, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin. Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, which even last year produced half of tha entire national wheat crop, though hij produced a fifth more last year than in 1SS3, had i per cent less than in 13 32, 18 per cent, less than In 1SS0, and 13 per cent, leas than in 1S7!. Meanwnilo there has been a very great incre ase in the railroad müoige cf this territory, and the wheat traflis per mile of road mut in many cases be very much Jess than in many other years of moderate production. It is, however, to tha aitantsge of several of th railroadi in this district that they have to cry a U'g part of the product of tLe territory wen of them, wtcre the incuase in production his lien lare. It bfyiiis to look as if the Joal agents intended tu mate life unpleasant for the ca!r. eis. It will certainly be a good piece uf fjorfw if the former can only induce the foreign rt a ls to discon'inue the practice of paying ccmmioioas to the so-called reduced rMe men, and there is eyery indication that they will succeed in their efforts in this direction. They have already seat letters to tie General Passenger Agents of the most important lines tfcat commission ecalpers, explaining to them the evils which result from this mcde of securing business. The afort said General Fiseeager Acents ara also requested to become members of the association rec?ntly formed by the Inoianapolis agents. It is generally conceded that passenger rates can be well maintain d if the scalp commission business is rque'ehed. Naturally enough the scalpers do not think so, and one of iheu:, with a grin en his face, said: "'The local stents nr?gettii:g vry virtuous all at once.

A local sgenl rays that if they succeed In cutting oil the scalper' revenue from this source the number of local scalping shops will be reduced. "Probably one will be able to stand 'he pressure," said the aent in conclusion.

INSURAN0K LEGISLATION.

A VIotod Acaljn of rending Miinrei by Od Who Coderstand the Hubject, A gentleman familiar with insurance matters, though cot connected with any company, was interviewed yesterday concerning the various measures which have ben introdnced tbe present sefsion. He said: "iLdiana legislators seem to be almost aloce in viewirjg insurance a3 a deadly foe which onght either to be killed outright or et any rate bsdly damaged. Other State Assemblies have many insurance measures pending th's re?sion, but in none ot them are there so many bills under consideration calculated to hurt the companies without doing anybody under heaven a particle of pcod. Those cf -Mr. Bailey and Mr. Thomp son in the Senate have already had some public dircu's'on and deserve more. They aim to make the policies of all companies payable in yart efter one annual premium has been received. Kow, no State in the Unicn undertakes to fay h- ths polic'ei of companies from other StaH1? shU bo written, a!thcu;i every bist 3 properly enough dictate" how its cn compauie shall writf tfcea. Büt f;r Indiara to order companies organized in New York', Connecticut, New .Uisey, Masrachusetts, Pcacsylvanis, Wiser nein or eleewhera to do their busin53 differently here from their methods at horns cr in olher States is llttlo short of abjurd. I vt 111 rot notice the preposterous idea exirefed in boh these measuro," said thn pentlerran, "making all life po'.ici?3 33sue 1 here non forfeitable in one year. Competiticn amon the companies, aided m tOTie r a et hy their laws at heme, puts non-forfeiture within the reach of life policy-holders everywhere. But to demand it after a soli tary annual pavmer.t ia made, ia rus'iin the Idea mere rapidly than was ever before heard cf. A msn having had his ho're injured fcr a year mUht if well dniiind 50.:e cf his policy money renaii him, even it the bui'dirg dcsn't burn. Hoxev?r, a b 11 ai'ig pven t'tnt to be done wouldn't turpri?? much. "The mo?t interesting meiar.r- y?t pre sented in th'- or any other Legislature," ccntinned the gentleman, "i t!i o::e re ported to have been introduced by Ssnator Addison last week. This orders all the insaraice companies to pay 10 per- C2Qt of their pxcbn annual premiums over to the State Treasurer. I have not seen th1 bill, and pprbap8 it is incorrectly reported; but if thoce are its provisions, I can only wonder why tbe originator stopped at his 10 per cent demand. He might e.s easily have aked far ."'.) cr 00 per cent, er for the whole. Just what tha St.te Treasurer soing to do ia return for this 10 per cent, of th policyholders' money is r ot announced. Of cour?e, a levy cf that magnitude i9 practical confiscation. Tax au insurance compmy in any rre thed and to any extent, and one of two things follow the company either quits the State cr it stays and divides the tax among if 3 policy-holders, adding a pro rata sum of the whoie amount to es.cn policy. Is that a pleasant trick for a legislator to play upon a constituent making him pay just eo much more for his life or tire insurance Bit a 10 per cent, call, if tint is really asked for, is the largest slics yet demanded. I am inclined to regard the bill as haviner been erroneously reported, or el33 as & joke." Ihegent'eman interviewed was aisksd if tie measures he had referred to wera all he c u!d ' tnd to criticise. ,:All?" he replied; "Net half! Therö are several specially designed to 1 arass the fire companies, but I will not dwell upon them at this time. Life insurance is a matter that csmes home to families, to everybody, and ought at leait to be a3 secred from leg'slativo pestering here as in other 8'ötcj. Bat it i'in't. Tterearet:vo bib's requirrg the companies ti py any law iudements obtained aeainst them, with interest, and 10 per cent added for the attorney on the other side. To be sure, this is not very hard on the life compaaies, as they are seldom sued, but it is no doubt exssoprating to them to b9 singled out, with the tire companies only a3 companions, for this di-dint'-ticn. If an insurance comptuy is beaten at law, why mast it be oblirrd to p.v not onlv its own lawyers, but the other fella v's alsj? Or, if insurance companies rvi3t do this, why net every b dy else? Th bill in question really oiler a premium to aitorucys to trump up cas33 egalnst insuranca companie. "Another bill, I h;xve noticed, requires atl irsurance companies to publish thsir semiannual statements In every county in the State. Of course, thia adds just so much mere to the expense account. It will be a gain, I admit, to the county papers, and so may be a measure likely to paca. But many of the county papers may be inclined to resent the idea that they are In need of this or any other charity. The statements are now weil advertised nnder the present law, aud additional spreading of tham is useless. Bat if the policy-hcldera do not complain at this extra expeLse, probably the company mauecers can stand it 'Brildtsa'l these" s!d the gentleman, "there is a bill requiring outside life companies to estab'ifh iSla'e a?ercie?, a bill givirg extra swing to the ase??ment o: eraveysrd societies, and probably ethers which I can rot call to mind. Irdted, whem a member isn't feeling lirst-rate this session, he seems to relieve himself by handing ia a bill Eb.-.king up insurance in some way." The person interviewed concluded his pithy observations by remarking that it WA3 curious that the Interests which were in the closest accord with the public, and concerning which no complaint had been received from any source, thould bs the ones to come in for such conspicuous legislative badgering. "The insurance companies,'' he added, "go quietly along their way, indemnifying the people against the ravages of tire and death, and accused ot none of the over-re ichiog laid at the doors cf other corporations, and yet here in Indiana they are subject to persistent and uncalled for attempts at legislative 'regulation' to an extent that will, if continued, eventually drive all the stroocest end best known cf them out of the State forever.'
