Dear Sir:-I am opposed to taxation
that falls upon the holder of life
insurance policy, cannot agree thas
a policy holder should be taxed upon
the funds which he contributes for the
protection of his family for we all
know that to tax insurance compan-
les upon the premiums received from
these policy holders that the tax
comes from the latter.
II the tax must be levied for the
maintenance of insurance depart
ments it should be made as light as
possible, as there is no institution,
under the conditions as they exist to-
day, that is doing more for the well
fare Of society than that of life in
surance.
