Assessment Insurance

Speaking of proposed legislation in
tended to correct some of the evils of
assessment insurance, the Guardian
says: Just now it is gravely proposed,
because life insurance costs more than
somebody guessed It would. to fortId
the increase of assessments"
No one could have stated the case
more clearly. Assessor entism was and
is a guess. They guessed they weren't t
going to pay any more money into
bloated old liners that already had mil
lions of assets (which couldn't be used
to pay death claims They guessed
two bits" a month would be about the
right "level flexible premium for life"
They guessed they could sell life insur-
ance at half it's costs. and policy hold
ers might as we'll keep the reserve in
their own pockets. They have always
guessed, they are still guessing. and
what is worse they are keeping all their
policy holders guessing what is to hap
pen when the bottom falls out. There
was once time wher you could not tell
the apostle of assessme n tism that the
assessments would be raised. He knew
better, but now that time has proven
the case, the assessment people actually
have the nerve to pat themselves on the
back for their 'progressiveness" in rec
ognizing ths~necessity Of the increase

Patrons Royalty Entertained Last
Night by the Clothiers

clothing store on the corner of Spring

immense crowd. The interior of the
building was brilliantly lighted with

has now been completed. which gives
the company about double the room
which they formerly had. The decora-
tions were exceedingly tasty and con-
sisted of smilax, carnations and potted
plants. A cleverly designed flag, made
of red and white carnations and smilax
which was presented with the compli-
ments Of the Central Park Floral COM
pany, drew out many eXclamations cf
admiration. The Schoneman- Blanch-
ard orchestra played during the evening.
The managers had offered to donate
800 to either the associated charities or
the unemployed fund, to be decided by
the popular vote, and every one was sup
piled with a ticket with which to register
his ballot. AS a result of the voting the
500 was awarded to the unemployed by
a good majority but as an offset to
the defeated party the sum of $50 was
donated by the firm to the associated
charities

Yet Perfectly Feasible When Fully

The largest display of fine pianos ever
seen in this city can now be examined at
