penalty, where he must remain
tbs tbs ff.sil length Of time unless
released by the Board of
Parole. Some now argue this
is an injustice. The Judge
who hears all the evidence and
circumstances in the case, they
claim, is best fitted to say
what the maxium penalty
should be. The men who agi-
tate a change believe the court
should fix the maxium penalty
in his judgement, and then
leave it to the discretion of the
BOARD to let the man out sooner
il they see fit. Many judges
complain that they are compel
led to sentence men for the
maximum of the law, whereas
they believe under no circum-
stances should the man be i'm
prisoned that long. That he be
released sooner is left entirely
with the Board of Parole.

The Great Western Life Insurance
Company, with home Office in Kansas
City, Mo-, is a corporation organized
under the laws OF the state of Mis-
souri,, and began business on he 18th
day OF April, 1907, with an authorized
and paid-up capital of one hundred
thousand dollars ($10O, O0O. OO) and up
to and including the 31st day of De
cember, 1907, which covered a period
of eight and one-third e 1-3) months,
had written insurance to the amount
of twenty-seve1 million (s27, 000, 000)
dollars, placing it practically in sixth
position among all of the legal re-
serve companies doing business in
the United States during the entire
year.
This record was never equaled by
a new company il either this or any
other country. In consequence of this
very large volume of business being
written in so short a time On the
company's limited capital, it was
deemed best to increase its capital
stock to one million ($1, 000, 000.00)
dollars in order to enlarge it's capacity
tic take care of it's insurance opera
lions, and the stockholders n direct
ors have accordingly authorized sucf
increase, and application a bee1
made to the proper officials for the
requisite authority.
Experience has shown that Life In
surance stock is the very hignes
class Of securities for returning prof
it's to investors, and it invariabl.
sells at a premium.
