 The convention adopted motion that delegates to the national convention go uninstructed. President Roosevelt ad- mnistration was indorsed. The resolution adopted the name of w. J. Oliver Tor na- tional committeeman and urged the state committee to call a primary to nominate a candidate for governor.

OPINION CHANGING

The great change in the opinion OF
architects and builders generally regard

causing n great deal Of discussion IN
the press, but is materially lessenlug
the use of this new material. No less
an authority than Captain Sewell of the
United States engineering corps, who is
probably the highest reinforced con-
crete authority that that system 8 advo~
Gates have pointed TO, is one of the
leaders in this change of sentiment. In
1903 he stated; "It will not only DO

LIFE UNDERWRITERS
SEND OUT ADDRESS
Matter Is One of Great in
terest to Holders of
Policies.

Officers Of the Utah Association of
Life Underwriters are sending to the
policy holders of the state an address
calling attention to the fallacy of tax
ing life insurance. The address con-
tains about 500 words and covers in a
very thorough manner the points for
which the association Is contendlng in
its efforts to secure the elimination of
taxation of life insurance policies in
this state and which 1T is proposed to
present to the legislature at the COM
ing session, The main portions of the
address follow:
You are taxing your income every year
a sum of hard-earned money. paid for
life insurance, TO prevent your dependent
ones from becoming. at your death,

band and father. and your pride as

A tax upon Insurance funds is a tax
upon a tax. The insurance companies
do not own the money paid to them

policy holders who paid 1t. They simply
hold the money In trust and must ac-
count for and eventually pay 1t all back,

The address proceeds to show that
admitting this last contention to be
true the tax is at present too large,
since the total cost of supervision last
year was about $2,000,000, whereas the
amount received was more than $4O,.
