STATE WILL HAVE
100000 IN TREASURY

Little Rock, Aug. 8.-The
State Treasury is beginning to
see daylight. For the first
time in several years every
warrant presented at the win
dow IS being paid in cash. 1t
is believed that practically all
Of the two hundred thousand
dollars still outstanding in war
rants is held by the sheriffs
who have not yet settled with
the state for the taxes Of 1915.
Nearly fifty counties have made
final settlement, but the three
big counties, Jefferson, Pulaski
and Sebastian, are still out, and
those three alone will probab-
ly be sufficient to wipe the
slate clean again. 1t is estimat-
ed by State Treasurer McDas-
iel that there will probably be
balance of 100000 or more
after all settlements are made
and all warrants are paid, so
that the state will be able to
run on Easy Street for a time.

MUCH INSURANCE In
FORCE in ARKANSAS
Popularity of Life Insurance
Shown by Large Amounts
Carried by Arkansas Citizens

1t is interesting to note that
the sixty two fraternal lnsur-
ance orders operating in the
state, as listed in the annual
report of the State Insurance
Commissioner, have only about
a million and half dollars less
of insurance in force in the
state than the fifty-five old
line, legal reserve companies.
1t is an eloquent proof of the
popularity of life insurance IN
Arkansas.
There was on Dec. 81, 1915,
an aggregate of 1872, 110,389.-
SO insurance in force in the
fraternals, as compared with a
total of $133, 727,7o4.26 in the
old line companies.
During the year 1915, the
fraternals paid to the benefi-
Charles in the state a total Of
$1,348,099.87, whereas the old
line companies paid losses
amounting to $1,778,5 90.32.
At the end of last year there
was grand total Of 197,046
members of all fraternal insur-
ance orders in the state, re-
presenting a gain of 81, 545 re-
ported by the Sc organizations
doing business in the state in
1912, or nearly fifty per cent.
The amount of premiums
paid by policy holders in the
old-line companies in 1915 was
$4,4276, 234.86.
The Woodmen Of the World
lead all insurance organiza-
tons of whatever character in
the amount of business carried,
with 1903 members, and in
surance amounting to $54, 619,-
900. The fourth place is held,
among the fraternals, by the
ancient Order of United Work
men, with 5,216 members in
July, 1916, and total of ST.
100000 in force in the state.
