paid to stockholders on their stock

WASHINGTON COURTHOUSE. O.,
was arrested here y few days ago
for appearing on the streets dressed
in female attire, has not received an
answer to the letter he wrote Attor-
ney General Wade Ellis asking his
opinion as to whether he can not
continue to wear womens clothes ON
the streets without violating the law.
Milbourne asserts that the law does
not touch his case. as he desires to
wear female attire because it better
suits his form, and he feels more
comfortable when thus dressed than
when, he is dressed as a man, He
says he never did like to wear men =
clothing. and for years he has been
wearing the garb of Il woman about
his hobe where he lived alone.
MIR. Milbourne says: 1T has been
my intention for a long time to dis
card mems clothing and dress only
in female garb. For years l have
worn ladies' garments about my home
and feel much better than when
dressed as man. While physically
am man. yet spiritually and intel
lectually l am neither man nor a
woman, while feel that In form and
spirit | incline more to effeminacy
and am gradually taking ON more of
the nature of womanhood.
There Is today too much attention
paid to the kind OF clothing n person

and women dressed alike, in long,
lowing robes, and now / am arrested
for wearing garments in vogue In
those days. Why should l be arrested

Life Insurance Taxation.
Taxes, licenses and department fees
which companies are required to pay
to the states in which they do BUSH
ness form big item of expense. Last
year the amount paid was over $S,-
100000, and this in excess of taxes
on real estate.
Those who are insured must bear
this tax, and when the rate is high
it is not only inconsistent, but, in
measure. unjust. The necessity for
taxes arises from the fact that it re-
quires funds to run the government
machinery, part of the expenditures
of which is to provide for the support
of the infirm and those who are in
destitute circumstances. Since, there
fore, life insurance makes provision
for this very thing and thus relieves
the state of great burdens, it should
hn fnCtaraJ hn 70
One main reason, no doubt, why the
taxes on life insurance are so high
In some states (and there is much
difference between the rates in diff
ferent states) is because taxes are
usually secured through the lines of
least resistance and the people have
not protested against this method of
raising revenue.
If the millions of policy holders in
this country Especially those in the
states where the taxes are exceeding
ly high) would demand reform in
this respect, more equitable adjust
ment would result Sufficient funds
should be collected to maintain insur-
ance departments so that the peoples

collected in most states is many
times as much as is needed for their
Conclusion.
In treating this subject of life in
surance I have endeavored through
out to give facts rather than opin-
ions. In closing l desire to present
another fact by recalling a bit of
history which was made during a
time that is still fresh in memory.
1t is this, that during that period of
financial disaster of 1898, when scores
of national banks closed their doors,
and hundreds upon hundreds of firms
in various lines of business through
out the land crumbled. as it were,
into dust, the old line life insurance
both great and small,
young and old, stood as immovable
as the pyramids. Not one of them
ceased to do business even for a day,
not one of them wavered, not one of
them refused to make any concession
to any policy holder for which his
contract called.
Such is the system of old line life
insurance.
