The holders of
INSURANCE TAX. life insurance poll
cies in old line
companies are making strong effort
with congress for the repeal of the life
insurance tax. Life insurance is not
luxury but necessity. To make pro-
vision for the support of dependent ones
is the duty of every man. Most life in
surance companies are great cooperative
institutions in which the policy holders
are at the same time stockholders or
members of the company and sharers in
all its profits and losses. Unwarranted
taxation merely means additional ex.
pense to the company and increases the
cost of insurance to every individual
member of the company. Then too, the
tax is not equitably levied. The man
who takes out cheap form of policy for
$1,000 with premium of about $40 90
pays the same tax as the man who ap.
plies for more expensive policy with q
premium of $4,000 or $4,000. AS the
revenues of the government are now
larger than necessary the tax on life in
surance should be abolished.

He evidently had fore. knowledge of the

by men who mistake talk for thought.
And so Demosthenes wickedly wrote:
GAS vessel is known by the sound,
whether it be cracked or not so men are
proved, by their speeches, whether they
be wise or foolish"
Very recently latter. day Demos
themes said:
IF the election came off tomorrow
we should win. But the republicans
are getting together vast sums of money.
They can buy. Our folks can sell.''

Carnegie gave out some interesting sug-
gestions upon the subject of giving. He
believes in rational giving as distin-
guished from indiscriminate charity.
Among his most notable benefactions
he places what he has induced others to
give.
money is frequently given by men,"
he says, without thought, simply to
ease their conscience. Money given in
that way, pine times out of ten, does no
good. There is no use of helping any
body up ladder unless he does some
climbing himself. AS long as you boost,
the man will stay up, but as soon as you
let 60 he falls, and the last state of that
man is worse than the first. A man
came to me recently and congratulate
me upon having given millions to tech.

No, but if you congratulate me upon

CONGRESS.

SlAtu COuSTcsS COuVouou IuoSudy vi
this week. A number of important bills
have already been considered in the
committee and await definite action by
congress at this session. Among them
are the Nicaragua Canal, Army Reorgan.
ization, Rivers and Harbors, Steamship
Subsidy, Philippine Civil government
and amendments to war revenue bills.
If scandals and extravagant appropria-
tions are to be prevented the last-named
proposition should be given immediate
consideration. A surplus is accumula-
ting under the war revenue act that is
apt to seriously impair the standing of
many distinguished congressman for
economy. To keep the expenses of
government down it's revenues must also
be kept down. Congress should reduce
the revenues to meet the legitimate
needs of government. In addition to
abolishing the tax on insurance policies,
as pointed out elsewhere, the stamp
upon checks and other banking instru-
ments of everyday use should be re-
moved. They are very troublesome and
annoying to business men, in addition to
the burden of the tax.
The Nicaragua canal is Senator Nor.
gan's pet project. If this bill is only
permitted to be-
" come law he
will feel that his fame is secure. For
years he has advocated the construction
of an Isthmian canal and in nearly
every session of congress, since he be-
came member, Morgan's canal bill has
had place upon the calendar. Thus
far he has only succeeded in securing
honorable mention for his waterway in
that thrillingly sensational and highly
entertaining publication known as the
Congressional Record. tits quite improb-

upon the expediency of constructing the
canal or upon the regulation and con-
