PRESIDENT AND PARTY
OVERAWE JORDhNvtttE

JORDANVILLE, n. Y, Aug 20
This little village of 100 inhabitants
was thrown into intense excitement
early this morning by the arrival here
OF the president of the United states.
Such fame had never come TO the
hamlet before. The village arose
to the situation, however. and before
the president had been here an hour
there were enough flags and bunting
flying TO the breeze to satisfy even
the village Improvement society.
The presidents special train stop.
ped at South Columbia and from there
the party came in carriages TO Jor-
darville. The carriages had been pro
yided by Mr.. Robinson and the presi'
dent. his wife and Ethel and Kermit
we're driven to the old Cruger man
sion, called Henderson house. the
summer residence of Mr. Robinson
about four miles from the village.

WOULD HAVE TAXES
ON PREMIUMS
REDUCED
INSURANCE COMMISSIONERS DE-
CLARE PRESENT SYSTEM OF
ASSESSMENT "soAkSr POOR
MAN WHILE RICH ESCAPE.

Action looking toward the reduc-
ton of the taxes imposed on the pre-
MUM incomes OF life insurance com
-panips was-taken -by-tAe-ia insurance
commissioners, now in national con-
vention here, at Wednesday mornings
session. The session was the most
important of any yet held.
In the last convention, held In
Richmond, Va, resolution was
adopted authorizing a committee of
eight to take the subject OF taxation
OF life insurance companies under
consideration and Ito ascertain and
compile and recommend to- the con-
vention a fair and uniform system of
taxation, embodied in a model act to
be recommended TO all the states for
enactment" Pursuant to this resolu.
ton, ex-Commissioner Henry r. Prev
lit, OF Kentucky, chairman OF the tax
committee, presented an exhaustive
report, Wednesday, and submitted the
following recommendations, which
were adopted by the convention by
an almost unanimous vote:
THAT insurance companies be
placed on the same footing as other
business institutions in the matter OF
taxation that all laws allowing cit
les. towns and counties TO levy taxes
against insurance companies be re-
pealed. so that taxes may be collect
ed only by the states; that perman-
ent committee be appointed TO con
slider the question OF taxation with
respect to insurance interests other
than life insurance companies, and
tfat-the- insurance companies call the
attention of their policy holders to
the amount OF taxes now being paid
on premiums in an effort TO arouse
sentiment against the excessive rates
now existing
Mr.. Prewitt explained that the
average rate. of taxation In the Unit
ed States Is one and seven-tenths per
lennLpeF- SI0l-and- amount PAID
out i'm taxes annually Is S1O,OO0,0OO,
which. he pointed out, comes out OF
the policyholders. IL Is the aim oil
the convention to- reduce this rate
about half The result would be To
reduce the premiums now paid by pol
jcyholders or to increase the amount
of insurance.
"The present excessive rate OF tax
alton IS "a burden on poor men who
are Obliged TO take out life insurance
to protect their families IN case ol
death. while the rich man. who doesn
need Insurance., has fe-stieh-tax. Is
not equitable" said Mr. Prewitt.
Ii was pointed out that In the oiu
country insurance premiums are he'
taxed at all.
An interesting discussion followed
-.
the presentation Of the report ne
ports were also received from the
committees ON blanks, assets OF IN
surance companies, unauthorized IN
surance and rate OF mortality and IN
terest. The afternoon session VIII Dt
given over to- a discussion OF depart
