THE INDIRECT TAX EVIL

In discussing burdensome features
of insurance taxation which affec
every policy holder, James u. Mad
den, manager of the Insurance De
partment of the Chamber Of Com
merce of the United States, saws:
"The insurance taxation situation
in the United States is in a very
chaotic and unscientific condition.
Out OF every dollar paid by policy
holders Tor indirect special insurance
taxes in 1922, 4.79 per cent was spent
TOT insurance supervisory service by
the state while the rest was used for
state functions such as road building.
police protection, administrative sal
aries, office equipment and the many
other manifold expenses of govern
ment, none Of which appears to be SO
closely linked with insurance as TO
warrant special tax ON policy hold
ers."
In other words, state insurance
department may collect double, treble
OF ten times as much taxes from in
surance companies as needed to main
tam the insurance department. The
surplus is turned over for other state
purposes. '''"'e
A state banking department might
just as well collect large excess A.
mounts from banks over what is need (
Ell to maintain the department and
turn the balance into the general
state fund.

URGES SUPPORT

Boise, Nov. 15-In q cOmmunica
ton to Idaho legionnaires, DIR. G. G.
Crabtree of Idaho Falls, state com
mander, urges full support for the
Idaho War Memorial. The campaign
for funds, totalling $25O,OOO opened in
all counties Armistice day will be con-
tinued until the amount necessary to
erect the edifice that will honor the
Idaho soldiers and sailors who gave
theirl ivesd uring the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and World war is secured.
The memorial is to be building on
the campus of the university.
DIR. Crabtrees letter reads:
1T has been my pleasure the last
few days to investigate the pupose
and duty of theI Idaho War Memoial
association. l find that the idea was
first started in 1917 and that later
the alumni of the University of Idaho
had plans underway for the erection
of memorial ON the campus for their
members who lost their lives in the
World War. Someone suggested that
an association be formed and a me-
mortal be erected for all of Idaho's
fallen heroes.
The American Legion at two de-
partment conventions passed resolu-
tons giving its support and endorse
ment for the erection of this Memoir
ial to be located on the University of
Idaho campus and to be a living me-
mortal in the form of gymnasium
and armOry.
This memorial is going to be erect
ed, not by taxation, but in the spirit
that any memorial should be built, by
voluntary contribution. AS 1 see it,
the Legion will be the greatest bene- /
factor, for it will hold the records
If the 21,500 men and women of Ida
40 who gave their service during the !
World war. No other department in
he country has such records. When
his task is finished we will lead all
'ther departments and the credit will |
Ne ours.
Our department has not been call
d upon for its support, nor have the
osts. So, l beg of you, as an indi-
1dual, to assist your county committee
Its works and to give your own
financial support"
