Look Before You Leap

DURING the past six or eight
years I have frequently heard the
statement made that people had learn
ed a great deal more about Life In
surance than they used to know, and
that the Individual who had made up
his mind to insure his life was pretty
apt to Look Before He Leaped. MY
observation Is that "some" people
have learned that all legal reserve or
So called "old line" companies, ARE
NOT "About the same" They have
learned that all Of them DO NOT treat
all Of their members in the same way,
and that all have not records extend
ing over long series Of years of a
Square Deal to each policy holder,
whether he knew what was his dues
under his contract or not-such rec
ord, for instance, as the Mutual Bene-
fit HAS. 1t Is a fact that the average
buyer of Life Insurance buys from an
Agent who "goes after him." regard
less of what company the Agent rep
resents, or the nature Of the contract
he sells. Comparatively few seem to
understand that while there Is little
difference in the net cost OF insurance
in any Of the old, established, legal re-
serve companies, there is a vast diner
ence in the Contracts. In view Of the
fact that the individual who buys the
insurance Pays the freight" 1t would
seem to be only common, business
sense for him to "Look Before He
Leaps" even though his own brother
was the Agent who first caused him to
become interested in life insurance.
The Mutual Benefit is recognized all
over the United States as being In
Class BY Itself-the One that has Al
ways Done the Most for Its Members,
and 1 shall be pleased to show YOU
if YOU care to be shown.

The State Tax Commission.-Th
Piedmont has heretofore refrained
from expressions Of approval or dis
approval of the actions Of the tax
commission. There was such general
complaint as to the actions Of the
commission that The Piedmont as
Sumed there was just cause there
for The recent public statement of
the commission makes us doubt this.
The banks have been most vocife-
rous in their complaints. Yet the
statement Of the commission Is very
clear to the effect that the aggregate
assessments Of the banks Of the state
have not been increased. The assess
ments in one county have been in
creased and in another lowered. In
the same county, one bank has been
respondingly lowered. Complaints are
vociferous from those increased.
Nothing is heard from those whose
assessments are reduced. The reduc-
tion is compacently accepted.
There can be no doubt that there
is need Of an intelligent change in the
mode Of assessments in the state. Any
one who has attended the meeting Of
the board of equalization must have
been impressed both with the inc
quality Of the assessments as De-
tween different characters Of property,
as well as with irregularity existing
between those of the same class. It
would seem to the Piedmont that the
first step Of the tax commission must
have been, as it was, to equalize as
sessments first among those Of the
same class, and then between those
Of different classes.
The tax commission seems in
telligently to have sought this equali-
ty in the same class. They have been
hampered by litigation and COM
plants, but the public would like to
have evidence that there havebeen
made increases in the aggregate Of
one class as distinguished from
another. We have not as yet seen
such evidence.-Greenville Piedmont.
