Syllabus

<p>FOREIGN INSURANCE COMPANIES — LICENSE FEES.</p> <p>1. Where two nonresident insurance companies paid their respective state licenses for the years 1901 and 1902, based upon the amount of annual premiums earned during the preceding year, license fees for the same years cannot be required from their joint agents issuing their joint policies under a certain name or style, where evidence shows that said companies had made due returns for the years 1900 and 1901, to the Secretary of State, of all premiums earned, and that the premiums received on the said joint policies were included in the totals. License taxes on insurance business are based on amount of premiums, and not on the number of agencies.</p> <p>Provosty, J., dissenting.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
