INSURANCE INVESTMENTS.

In connection with its withdrawal

Of the reserves on Texas policies shall
be invested in securities of that state,
which securities shall be deposited in
the state and subjected to heavy taxa
ton, in addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution of its
assets, at the end of the second year
Of the new management. The Equit-
able now has $10,95S, 900 invested in
Texas, which IS twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage
ment decided that TO submit to the
additional taxation would be an injus-
tice to its policyholders in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift of their citizens.
