PRESS COMMENT
Barnet Held Its Own
Barre Times)

The town of Barnet, which was le-
ported in the census returns recently,
Is one of the smaller towns of Yer
mon, largely denendin~ upon agricul-
turc although being a railr6u town
and situated on, the main line of a
large railroad system. Barnet might
have been expected to lose population
LARGELY in the general exodus to the
period of the war; vet the town fell
off only 1.3 per cent in the population
figures of 1920. To al inteots and
purposes Barnet held its own. This
is fact that IS somewhat encourage
ing to those who were fearful about
the population of Vermont in the re-
cent census. OF course, il may be
expected that country towns which
do not have the advantage az ,ail-
road location will fall Off consider
ably more than Barnet; but the ag-
gregate loss may be Offset by the
gain in some of the industrial cen
tiers.

pany as to the popularity of life in.

reports. President Darwin P
Kingsley of the New York Life In
surance Company, also a Velmonter
says Life insurance has suddenly
taken new Importance Everybody
wants it." Mr.. Kingsley than protests
against the heavy taxes the state and
nation collect from life insurance
companies upwards of $27,000,000
annually--and is particularly severe
upon the death duties which he de-
clares are economically unsound and
silly. Life insurance as President
Rowland we'll says has "weathered
the troubles incident to the period of
reconstruction with increased pres
tige and growing influence.
''In time Of waste and eXtrava-
gance it is great promoter of Thrift
and savings"
'In a day of profiteering it CONT
nues to supply its product at cost and
that tost generally remains the same
a. before the war"
"Whle suffering war losses AMI
reaping no war profits, it has paid war
taxes, sacrificed unprecedented in
vestment opportunities in order to
buy war bonds, and Loyalty supported
Government life insurance and all
war activities"
"While others have been out on
strike, the life insurance agent has
doubled his production"
"While in most callings higher
wages have meant decreased efficien-
cy, the life underwater has met high
cost on an unchanged wage scale >,
increased efficiency"
Notwithstanding the combined
shock OF war and a devastating cpl
demic life insurance has expended n
Il scale hitherto unknown and stands
forth as one of the great economic
social forces of civilization, requi-
ing government neither govern
ment ownership, control, nor nd
and unchallenged as regards its
benefcicnt purposes and its sound
administration"
