Some Insurance Facts

People are no longer worrying about banks getting all the wealth of the country into their hands but see danger in insurance.
 Insurance is such widespread universal necessity basis for business and protection of property that magnitude inspires timidity.
 Policies covering billions of property against loss or damage by fire carried by corporations aordng auto- matic security.
 Yet how few persons know the actual losses met by insuraAcethey seldom published and almost never commented on in the press.
 How many people know that in the United States in 1920 900 policy holders died before their nsur- ance had been in force year?
 Death claims and injuries paid for wrecks in motor- last year totaed A 0OO the records show ing 12 200O fatalities
 The government had issued $4O,OOO, O0O 900 insur- to service when the Armstice was signed and by 1921 only $3, ,352 100000 stuck.
 All the rest had let their policies lapse. There was not the incentive in the to keep policy hold CTS paying their insurance.
 It would seem that insurance is business where the everbusy solicitor must keep prodding the citizen which the government does not do.

The Why Of It

 On of the school laws passed at the last session of the legislature compelled to levy over $68 000 co for school surposes than levied last year.
 In addition to this school levy number of the districts have had special levy this which makes the very high n deed in several of them.

Newspaper Strikes

Newspapers are describing too many differences about wages under the caption of general strike
 It is general fact that there have been very few strikes undertaken during the past year.
 General strikes in the newspaper headlines that nev- materiaze are injurious business and industries
 While there will be differences between large employ CTS and employees general strikes outlawed.
 General strikes have no existence at present except in the scare-heads of yellow journalism.

prices of the above mentioned staples which showed slight increase have virtually all been down to point as low or lower than the prewar figure and they are ly returning to more normal basis.
 In other words deation in the cost of food necess ties of life has been complete, and the slight upward trend is healthy sign of return to normal conditions
 It should not be used an argument showing an n- creased cost of living which necesstates maintenance of wages and working conditions in certain lines of industry which have not yet been defated
