INSURANCE FOR SOLDIERS

Inc insurance proposition now be.
Tore congress, to provide for the sol
diers and their dependents, is certain
ly a forward step over the old system
or pensions. Since the civil wal the
United States has spent in pensions
a sum, that if administered in a bust
ness like way, would have benefited
more people and done more good
than could be expected through anv
possible pension system. Secretary
McAdoo has the following to say in
favor of the administration bill now
being considered in congress:
Military service is now obligatory;
those who imperil themselves have
no election. The insurance com.
panies do not and cannot permit this
fact to affect their calculations. They
must protect themselves by charging
premiums so high that they are Sc
cured against loss no matter how so.
we're the rate Of mortality may be.
Consequently, the very men who are
called into the service because their
physical condition is of the best and
who as civilians would for that rea-
son be able to secure the most fay
orable insurance rate in peace time
are denied as soldiers the necessary
life insurance to enable them TO pro-

tect their families and dependents.
The tremendous rates charged by pri-
vate insurance companies to protect
them against the xtra-hazardous
risks of war put insurance entirely
beyond the reach Of the conscripted
soldier.
Military necessity has, therefore,
subjected the most fit subjects for in
uranc to an insurmountable dis
elimination unless the government IT.
self supplies insurance at cost and
upon a peace basis. 1t would, in fact,
be dastardly and undemocratic If the
government should penalize the sol
der who is forced to render the high
est duty of the citizen by it's failure
to provide war insurance upon peace
the pay of the enlisted men in the
army and navy is less than the wages
and salaries generally earned in pri-
vate life, which reduces their invest
ing capacity; and, second, because
government insurance is an essential
war and emergency measure, inaugu-
rated for the specific benefit Of our
military forces, and cannot and should
not be conducted for profit.
Such overhead charges as agents
commissions, advertising, promotion,
local rentals, etc, are eliminated.
The government must assume the
cost of administering this benevolent
agency, just as it bears the cost Of
administering all other government
agencies established for the benefit
OF the people.
This legislation will be a great step
forward in the recognition Of the re-
public's duty to its heroes. | consid-
er 1t the most significant and progress
sive measure presented to congress
since the declaration of war. 1t i'm.
mediately affects the w%ell-being OF a
greater number Of persons than any
with which l am familiar. 1t de-
serves the earnest and vigorous sup
port of the country. 1t provides the
broadest and the most liberal protec-
ton ever extended by any govern
ment of its fighting forces and their
dependent families. The United
the most progressive and pros
porous nation on earth, setting an ex-
ample in the ideals for which en-.
lightened humanity is fighting, should
set the highest example of all the ma
in the treatment of those who
DO and die for their country and for
world freedom.
I'VE are proposing to expend dur
ing the mex year more than ten bill
ion dollars to create and maintain
necessary fighting forces to re-
establish justice in the world. But
Justice must begin at home; justice
must be done to the men who die and
suffer for us on the battlefelds and
or their wives and children and de
who sacrifice for US at
lome."
