NEW SUBJECTS FOR TAXATION,
Assessors VIII List Surrender-VaIue
Insurance Policies.

Some new rules of the State Board of
Tax Commissioners will be carried out by
the township assessors when they begin the
work of assessment next month. The
rules cover the assessment of life insur-
ance policies and building and loan as
ISOLATION stock. Life insurance policies
having a surrender value TO be as
sessed at such value and running stock OF
building associations is to be taxed. Such
assessments are made only after credit
edness. For instance, if man has a life
insurance policy which Is either paid up
or has a cash surrender value to the
amount of, say Sl,000. and he can show
a bona fide indebtedness of 5000, he will be
assessed for taxation only on the differ
ence. or 500.
The Board of Tax Commissioners tried
TO have bill passed by the late Legisla-
ture giving specific authority for the taxa
ton of life insurance policies, but the bill
was killed in the Senate. The board. how
ever, believes there il ample authority in
the general tax laws, and will endeavor to
tax such policies until the Supreme Court
rules against such course. Life insur-
ance companies will probably fight the new
plan. as they claim IL will tend TO dis
courage the carrying of insurance. 1t is
claimed that such taxation is in the nature
of double taxation. for the reason that the
companies are taxed OH the funds held for
the payment of policies.
The Supreme Couri has already ruled
that prepaid and paid p building and loan
association stock mG be taxed, but the
question of taxing run hing stock has never
come up for decision.

H. H. HANNA DECLINES.


Hugh II. Hanna has informed Governor
Mount that he cannot accept the appoint
ment as member of the board of managers
of the Indiana Reformatory prison South.)
Mr.. Hanna declared that he esteemed the
offer high honor and would be glad to
undertake a work that he regards of
largest Importance. But he is pledged to
devote as much of his time may be
necessary to furthering the objects Of the
sound-currency convention chairman Of
the executive committee authorized by that
body and feels that this would in all proba-
bility seriously interfere with his giving
proper attention to the business of the re-
formatory. Governor Mount rendered the
place thus left vacant to Senator T.. @.
Hogate. of Danville, and Senator Hogate
was about to accept it when the point was
raised as to whether the acceptance of any
office might not cast a cloud upon his title
TO a seat in the Senate. This is a question
that cannot be determined by law the
Senate is the sole judge of the qualifica-
tons of its members. Senator Hogate was
therefore compelled to reluctantly decline
