Interesting Information.

Not the least important of the several
state departments is that which has
supervision over the various classes of
insurance companies which transact
business in Michigan. 1t has an i'm
portant connection with the revenues of
the state as well as being of value to the
insuring public in the way of guarding,
as far as possible, against the financial
instabilities of the companies from
which they purchase needed indemnity.
There is little doubt that but few per.
sons have a correct understar ding of
the financial operations Of the insurance
department which, among numerous
other duties, annually computes the
taxes and fees due the state from insur-
ance companies. The stock life and So
called old line or regular life insurance
companies are the principal sources of
revenue to the state so far as insurance
companies are concerned, the fraternal
beneficiary societies, cooperative and
mutual benefit associations and mutual
fire insurance companies being required
by law to contribute very little TO the
revenues of the state No taxes what
ever are levied against the three classes
of insurance organizations last named.
