TO BEGIN CAMPAIGN TO
REDUCE INSURANCE TAXAs.

- New York, Dec. 4.-Executive Of
fcials of all the large life insurance
companies of the United States and
Canada together with the insurance
commissioners of number of states,
have agthered in this city for a meet
ing that promises to have important
results The conference was called by
the Association of Life Insurance Pres
idents and the purpose is to begin an
organized campaign to secure a reduc-
ton of life insurance taxes.
There has long been complaint of the
system of state taxation on life insur-
ance, which varies greatly in the diff
ferent states, and is in many a purely
revenue measure, yielding returns said
to be many times greater than is ne
cessary for the maintenance of the in
surance department. he majority of
the insurance commissioners as well as
the insurance companies have declared
themselves in favor of a readjustment
of the present system of taxation,
which they admit is in many cases in-
equitable and excessive.

The suffragists are to have their in
nings in Carnegie hall tonight, when
a new movement for the advancement
of woman suffrage is to be formally
launched with the aid and support of
hundred of prominent women and
well known professional and business
men. 1t is proposed to work on broad
and dignified lines, to give the move
ment an impetus that is expected to
come from the sympathy and co-opera-
ton Of the more influential members of
society. Street campaigning is to be
dropped, or at least for the time cur
tailed, and the propaganda is to be
carried on more actively among those
who will treat it with great thought
and seriousness.
The Carnegie hall meeting promises
to resemble the first night at the opera
more than a meeting of women look
ing for votes. Many leaders of the
Four Hundred are expected to be pres
ent. among the number Mrs. Clarence

GUARANTEES the Trusts a
Reasonable Profit.

Juneau Independent: Senator Hop
kins say, 'there is no more reason
that man should be guaranteed the
return of his funds placed in a nation
al bank than there is that farmer
should be guaranteed his crop" And
there is no more reason that a trust
should be guaranteed a reasonable
profit on its business than there is
that a farmer should be guaranteed a
reasonable profit on his business.
In this campaign the Democratic
party is pledged to legislation that
will be in the interest of the people
because it will give to the small de-
positors all over the country a guar
antee, backed by the government, that
their savings shall not be misappro-
priated as is too often the case under
the present system. The Republican
party is opposed to this guarantee,
but willingly puts into its platform a
plan guaranteeing a reasonable pro-
fit" to the sheltered trusts.

Red Rock, caught an oppossum and
has him at his home. He set his trap
at what he thought was muskrat

caught a stranger from the Sunny

strayed as far north as Wisconsin is
a mystery. He was caught by the left
fore foot and the wound made by the
trap is rapidly. healing. Mr.. Burke
intends to keep him for a pet.
