IMMENSE TAX
Check for S484,O55.30 Given To Com
missioner of Insurance
(By United Press Association


MADISON, Feb. 29.-The North
western Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of Milwaukee today paid their
tax amounting to $484,055.30 to the
state insurance commissioner M. J.
Cleary.
This check, which represents the
largest lump sum accruing to the state
for any corporation in the state was
paid under protest.
The State Supreme Court recently
ruled that the state law requiring a
per cent gross income tax was consti-
tutional, but the case has been appeal
ed to the United States Supreme court
The North Western will pay approx
mately $4,000 less state tax this year
than in 1914 owing to the existance of
state premium tax under the bill
passed by the last legislature.
