He pointed out thas It might be made
and still leave surplus IN the general
fund of almost 100000 more than the
1910 surplus and more than 100000
more than the 1909 surplus. The re-
mission was at once agreed to and the
proper certificate will be made out to-
day and forwarded to county clerks of
Wisconsin. This certificate, together
with the superintendent of the state
levy before sent out, from the Office of
the secretary of state, will be presented
to the county boards at their meetings
on the second Tuesday in November.
The taxpayers of the state, instead of
having an increase of 100000 to meet,
win secure the benefit of the remission
of $4,000 with net gross of over
$4,000 in reduced taxes.
The change will reduce the state
taxes to be paid by the county nearly
$4,000.

Instead of an increased state tax
levy of 100000 for 1911, there will be
a net reduction of $34,235. Through
the action of Gov. McGovern, a grand
total of $940,235 will be RENTED and
there will still be left surplus of
81, $50, 903,2S in the general fund of the
state, as against surplus of $1,267,
39o.95 on the same date in 1910 and
$847, 470.77 in 1909. The action per-
hitting this remission of nearly
$1,000,000, was taken by the governor
this morning under section 1906 of the
statutes.
This authority gives the right to the
governor, the secretary of state and
the state treasurer, or majority there
Of, - When the public interest requires
it, ~ to "apply the surplus in the treas
ury or so much thereof as may be by
them deemed proper, as portion of the
state tax levy in each year, and the
balance therefor after deducting the
amount above provided for, shall be
applied in the same manner as now
provided for under the provision of
1896.
The facts which led the governor to
take this action which saves the tax
payers of the state nearly 100000,
were as follows: The special appropria-
tons for 1911 over and above those of
last year, were: University, $4,000;
normal Schools $4,000; highways,
$350,000; free high schools, $25 900;
common schools, $4,000; total, $685.
900. The remission in 1911: Appro-
priations for new capitol, $45o,O00;
appropriation Tor normal schools, $780,
235; total, $940,235; less the total in
crease appropriation. 100000, leaving
the net reduction in the state tax levy
$34,235.
Gov. McGovern called a meeting of
the state officers empowered to make
this reduction this morning and sug-
gested that the remission be made.

POLICY HOLDERS PROTECTED
Holders Of Contracts With the Com
pany May Elect Whether CT Not
They VIII Go Over to the New Plan
or Continue as at Present.

The changing Of the Bankers Life
of Des Moines from an assessment life
insurance company to a mutual, legal
reserve, old line company announced to-
day, eliminates from the field one of
the greatest opponents of assessment
life insurance. The company was in
corporated and began business in 1879.
It has been notably successful in get
ting new business and now has more
than $500,000,OO0 Of insurance on it's
books. It's largest business is in ILL
nois, where it has more than $780,
100000 of insurance in force. More
than 200 contracts with the company
are held by prominent men of Kenosha.
The Bankers Life has been economi-
cally managed at the home Office and
has had a remarkable mortality rec
ord. Edward A. Temple was the or
ganizer of the plan on which it operat-
ed. He died early in 1909.
With the large volume of assessment
insurance on its books the present
management has foreseen that in time
the mortality of the old members would
increase and that to keep up the stride
it has been making and take care Nof
tho increased death loss would be i'm
possible.
The company under its new regime
viii be mutual company paying annu-
al dividends, and will have no mem
bership fees or guarantee notes. It's
first policy is a ten year term plan and
will supplant the present assessment
certificate.
The old business will not be dis
turbed, but all new business will be
written on the old line plan. In a
short time it will get out regular forms
Of policies on life and endowment
plans. The 20o,0O0,O00 old members
will be allowed to carry their insur-
ance according to the assessment GER
tificates and the charter and bylaws
of the old organization. Of course the
assessment on this old business will
have to be raised materially from year
to year, as there will be no further
new members on the assessment plan.
The company has a fund of $4,000
900 in addition to its power of assess
ment to take care of future death
losses.
One of the factors that brought about
the change in the plan of the Bank
ers' Life was the passage of the model
bill In many states to regulate frater-
nal societies. When a fraternal society
goes on an adequate rate basis its in
surance will cost more than a member
was paying for insurance in the Bank
ers' Life. The company figured that,
in addition to the opposition of the old
line companies, it would also draw from
the fraternals which had gone on an
adequate rate basis. With this com
it would be difficult for the
Bankers Life to hold it's own in the
field. N
1t has been predicted for Some time
by old lire life insurance men that the
Bankers would eventually have to 90
on the legal reserve basis, as it would
not be able to take cage of the NOR
tality of its old members. Seemingly
the company has defed the laws of
mortality and has given insurance at
a low cost. The laws of mortality.
however, are destined to prevail, and
the Bankers Life management was
keen enough to see the handwriting
on the wall.
