FIGHTS INSURANCE LAW.
Solicitor General Asks for Review of
Income Tax Decision,

Solicitor General Davis has applied to
the United States Supreme Court for a
review of the decision of the federal
circuit court of appeals, sitting at Phila-
delphia, to the effect that the govern
ment is not authorized to collect the
corporation tax upon the so-called divi-
dends of mutual life insurance COM
panies. The dividends in question con-
sist of that portion of the premiums
not needed for the conduct of the busi
ness. The life insurance companies
contend that when this excess is used
to reduce the succeeding premium or to
increase the amount of the insurance or
diminish the time of the insurance, ac-
cording to the election of the insured, it
IS not dividend, and hence should be
deduced from the gross income.
Should the government not succeed
in getting the court to reverse the lower
tribunal 1t will be compelled to refund
about $,5OO.OOO and to forego further
collections under the present corporation
