DUE TO INFLUENZA
Companies Here Have Doubled

BILL TO AID THEM READY
Smith Has Measure Permitting
Them to Exceed Annual

The amount of life insurance business

the corresponding three months OF last

at the present rate of increase the
annual limi. set for each company by
the State insurance law and In the last
three months Of the year will be I'M
able to Issue any policies at all.
The general rush for life insurance is
attributed. first to the influenza epidemic,
which killed so many persons that the
others hastened to protect themselves;
second, to high wages, making II easier
for the workers to pay their premiums; ;
third. to the return Of the soldiers. Most
OF the latter are retaining their Govern

An amendment to tho insurance law

fore the end Of the given calendar year.
