Democratic Caucus Cuts
Out Clause Exempting
Death Payments.
RESERVE, TOO, MUST
FIGURE AS INCOME
Republicans Will Fight
What They Regard as
Blow at Policy Holders.
Iron The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, Aug. 17.-Life insurance
premiums may be boosted as result
of a provision inserted by the Demo-
cratic caucus in the new revenue Dill,
Republican Senators declared to-day
This provision would prevent the in
surance companies, in computing the
incomes on which they must pay two
per cent corporation income tax, from
deducting death losses paid.
1t would also prevent their deducting
sums paid to persons giving up their
policies in return for their cash sur
render values. Even the amount car
ried to reserve, held against any calam-
ity. could not be deducted from the
amount of income on which this tax
would have to be paid.
As passed by the House, the bill con-
tanned an exemption applicable espe-
cially to insurance companies which
would have permitted death payments
and cash surrender payments 10 have
been deducted. This was stricken out
by the Democratic caucus in the Senate,
appearing in the list of exemptions
from tax.
How the House Bill Reads.
The language in the House bill APP
plicable TO insurance companies was as
follows:
"And in the case of insurance com
panies the net additions, If any, re-
Quired by law to be made within the
year to reserve funds and the sums
other than dividends paid within the
year on policy and annuity contracts"
The vital words. Republican Senator'S
declared, are: "The sums other than
dividends paid within the year on pol
icy and annuity contracts"
Considering dividends on insurance
policies as partial refund on the
amounts of premiums paid by the pol
lev holders, these Senators believe that
they should also actually be exempted
from tax. There was no great amount
of objection to that, but Republican
Senators are preparing to fight what
they regard as an unwarranted raid on
life insurance policy holders.
Senator Wadsworth's View.
"The total receipts Of life insurance
company are not its income" declared
Senator Wadsworth, of New York, to-
day. in discussing this provision. "The
tax is intended to be levied on the in
come. but if it is fair as drawn II
would be equally fair to tax merchant
on the total amount of money he takes
in for the sale of goods, without allow
ing him to deduct what he was obliged
TO pay out for those goods. The insur-
ance company deals in money. 1t takes
in monev and it pays out money. Sure
" death losses and cash surrender pay
ments should be deducted from the re-
ceipts before tax is assessed.
at also seems TO me absurd TO tax
the amount Of money transferred by a
big insurance company to its reserve as
a part of its income. The company is
prudently laying aside a percentage OF

Reader confidence! Nothing
mysterious about this pet phrase
Of the advertising solicitor. Tell
the truth and let the reader know
it's the truth, and you have his
confidence. Good, old-fash-
toned telling-the-truth has never
yet been beaten as a confidence
stimulator.
Because it is The Tribune policy
to everlastingly tell the truth in
both news and advertisements, its
readers have an nth degree faith
and a genuine, whole-hearted con-
hdence in it's printed columns. The
Tribune Reader knows, and knows
positively, that when he reads an
advertisement in The Tribune,
what he reads is so, unqualified
ly so. This intensive reader con-
Gdence among the steadily-grow-
ing Tribune audience has been de-
veloped and supported primarily
by three things
The Tribune Money.Back Guarantee
which protects readers against loss
through advertisements in The Tribune.
The Tribune Advisor and
Bureau of Investigations
which warns readers against fake adj
vertisers in other papers or business
houses that may never advertise IN any
paper.
The Tribune Institute
which through tests advises readers as
to things worth while and things worth
less for use in the home.
These three characteristic Tribune
institutions are back of The lrlb-
une's fight for clean and honest
advertising. And it has been
these three things that have joined
the hundred thousand and more

thusiastic advertising audience

Pearsc and JaEiea Connolly. The
name of the third man was not Civ
en-. but there we're rumors that he
was Sir Roger Easement. These ru-

been set AZ rest by the statement that
the men executed signed the proc

rest at that time aud II is stated
his name does not appear ON the proc

This announcement was made by
the authorities moment after Il
was announced that Augustine sif-
rell, chief secretary for Ireland. had
resigned from the British cabinet.
Premier Asquith stated that The
rebel leaders executed this morning
signed the proclamation OF the Irish

being brought to England. On the
other hand the resignation of Bir-
rell caused no surprise. Rumors
we're heard by the house 81 com-

Iretary had already resigned. Under
the heavy fire of public opinion and
charges by the newspapers that Bis

that Sir Matthew Nathan and Gem
