remains about the only commodity that has not increased in price. The time has now arrived when that con- dition cannot continue. The solvency of the companies, their duty to the public, the insurers, and their stock holders, requires that they obtain some margin over and above their losses and expenses. The advance asked for would seem to be more than justified by existing Conditions, and those who are so far-sighted as to have in mind the greatest good to the greatest number of the peo- pie who are interested in fire insur ance, either as policy holders or as agents, will doubtless consider the necessities of the companies and comply with these reasonable require ments.

CANNOT SEND } TOBACCO TO ANY
 PARTICULAR MAN
Tobacco Fund Committee Not Permitted To Send Tobacco to Indicated
 Individuals

Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund of 25 West 44th Street. New York City will no longer guarantee to de- liver tobacco to any particular in- dividual soldier. It is still handling tobacco and guarantees that every dollar received will be invested in tobacco and delivered to some sol dier, but that is all. w
 The following letter explains the situation:
 We wish to thank you for your recent contribution, but we are sor- ry to say that the Government does not allow tobacco to be shipped to individuals through the mails. Our tobacco is packed in bond and ship ped and distributed through the Red Cross. In this way. every soldier lover there" shares equally in the distribution and we are not obliged to pay revenue tax, thus enabling us to use the entire amount of cOntri- buttons for the purchose of tobacco.
 By adopting a soldier you insure regular supply of tobacco but 1t is not always the same soldier who receives it. Each dollar purchases four boxes of tobacco, each contain ing weeks supply, and your name is on the card in each box"

Local Fire Insurance Rep- resentativeS Receive Mo- tice of Tax Already
 in Effect.
UNDER A REGENT ACT
Some of the Items of Tax ation Affected by the New Regulations
 Outlined.

Local fire insurance agents have received notice of a war emergency surcharge of 10 per cent. on all poli- cies written on or after September 16. 1916. In explanation of the nee essity for such action the companies put forth the following facts:
 Under the War Revenue Acts of September, 1916, and October, 1917. separate and distinct taxes are i'm posed on the companies:
 (a) Capital stock tax.
 (b) Corporation income tax.
 Co Premium tax.
 The aggregate of these cannot be precisely determined and will vary with different companies.
 This is in addition to the present taxes, licenses and fees, Federal, State and local, which last will aver age about six per cent. on premiums received.
 Under the same act the business by the following new items of tax by the followwinwg new, items of tax ation:
 Letter postage increased; travel ing increased on railroad fares, in cluding Pullman charges, with pros pect of their going higher; telegraph and telephone messages and many other items.
 In common with other employers the companies have been obliged to recognize in very substantial way, by salary increases or allowances, the enhanced cost of living.
 Printing and supplies have in creased about 75 per cent.
 The aggregate of these items, all of which are caused by abnormal conditions now prevailing due to the war, cannot in any case be less than 10 per cent, and besides, no rates or schedules now in use were ar ranged to include any of them as there was no possibility of our learn ing that they were in prospect. They have no relation to any normal ex pense, and have nothing to do with rates or underwriting, but are purely surcharge on the expense we have previously borne of ten per cent. which will be assessed and collected flat and will be removed as soon as the war is over and the conditions changed so as to make it possible It should be observed that these new taxes and expenses are levied upon all localities alike. It is an established fact that de spite precautionary measures on the part of municipal officials, the effic iency of fire department service, es pecially in the larger cities, has de preciated because of the loss of trained men due to the National Army draft and due to the present high wage scale which induces fire men to leave the service In instances their places are not filled, but if so, it is by untrained , men who can only obtain experience at times of fire and consequently an emergency service dependent so much upon cooperation and unity. lis ren hered disorganized and ineffective.
