RAISING RATES OF INSURANCE

The last session of our legislature
changed the law relating to taxing
life insurance companies, making
them pay two per cent on their sioss
instead of their net income. This is
said to be good for $4,000 addition
al taxes for the state, but we predict
that it will be only temporary.
We believe the burdens imposed
upon life insurance companies the
past few years in Idaho have geper-
ally been laid for purpose of protec.
ton to the public and that the COM
panies have stood for the added ey-
pense and restrictions becaus, It
would force the irresponsible compa-
MES out of the state, and leave more
business for the others.
In the hope of increasing the vol
ume Of their business they have strod
their ground and tried to succeed on
the old rates, but now that the state
is legislating against them simply to
get more revenue from them, We prs
dict that they will raise the rates in
the attempt to get even, leaving the
people who pay life insurance to pay
these added taxes.
The whole procedure is wrong in
principle and will be demoralizing in
its effects. No business should have
to pay a special tax just because it is
in business, unless it is such that it
escapes its natural and proper bur-
dens of government in every other
way.
insurance companies represent
holdings in all kinds of real proper
ty, and pay their share of taxes. Sta
tistics show that the tendency of in
surance business has been to raise
the rates or fail when the period of
greatest mortality comes among the
insured. Rates that were considered
sufficient in the early life of insur-
ance companies, have proven entirely
inadequate in the final test.
The most substantial, prudent and
self-reliant people carry life insur-
ance now days, and require the last
in the way of protection and care on
the part of the state. Then why
should they be taxed extra to make
possible the life insurance business?
Rather would it not be more sane to
impose an extra tax upon each person
or head of family that does not carry
life insurance? They are sure to die,
and if not provident enough to pre-
pare some protection for their fami-
lies when they are alive, the natural
result is for the families to come to
want and be left to provide for them
selves by unfair or immoral means or
receive aid from the public.

During the past week severa
changes have taken place in the rae
for the basket ball pennant. Thu
Seniors defeated the Freshmen by ;
score of 40 to %, while the CONNER
Gals defeated the Juniors by a scor,
of Al to IL. This puts the Senior.
and Commercials at a tie, both hav
ing played three games and won al
of them. The Junior and Faculty are
now contesting for last place, neither
having won a game.
On Friday afternoon at 3. O'Clock
the second grade of the Central
school will entertain the High School
with a cantata. Parents are espec-
tally invited to attend this cantata
and view the excellent work being
accomplished in the school. An ad-
mission of ten cents will be charged
The Seniors are kept very busy col
lecting material for THE Rather"
the Senior annual. Preparations are
being made to make this the finest
and neatest annual put out by any
school in the state.
The Seniors have engaged for a
one night entertainment, A. Lincoln
Kirk, who will be here on April 10.
Mr.. Kirk is considered one of the
best entertainers in the western
states, so good audience is antici-
pated.
Miss Richeson is working overtime
in preparation for the greatest event
ever given in the city. The operetta
is entitled the "Milkmaids'', and
about SO people are required to re-
produce it. This being the first time
anything like this has ever been
placed in the city, a great deal of in
terest is being taken in it. The prin-
cipa soloists are all High School stu
dents as we'll as the chorus. We
think Miss Richeson is to be COM
mended for the splendid work she is
doing with them.
The manual training department is
working overtime every day making
piece of furniture. Mr.. Wander
hoof Is planning to have an immense
exhibit sometime during May and for
that reason vast amount of work
is now being accomplished. From
present indications and from the way
the boys and even some of the girls
are taking an interest in this kind of
work, this promises to become the
most important branch of the school.
From the class of furniture which
has already been turned out of this
department, it is certainly a credit
to the town.
