KINGSLEY WILL
APPEAL TODAY
TO COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON. May 81. - Pres.
ident Kingsley. of the New York
Life Insurance company. is in the
city ready to make a final appeal
on Monday morning TO the subcom.
mittee TO exclude from the income
tax all insurance companies. He gives
as his reasons the fact that all
moneys earned by the companies are
really not the earnings of wealthy
people, but composed for the greater
part of wage earners. He said that
the policy holders who were wealthy
would. in any event. be taxed their
proportionate share. and that it
would be an injustice and a double
tax upon them. Upon the poor peo
pie who hold policies, President
Kingsley stated that all the earnings
of the companies were turned in for
the benefit of these people and that
tended to decrease the premium on
the policies.
The committee once before heard
several insurance men on this sub
ject. but placed the insurance com.
panies in the list. and for that
reason il is not thought that they
will pay much heed to Mr. Kings
ley.
