U. 5. GOVERNMENT INSURANCE

NeStflctlanS and exemptions
Government Insurance policies are
free from all usual restrictions and
carry exemption provisions against
all taxation, garnishment or attach
ment.
The value of this insurance is
more apparent to the insured upon
the realization that he may pursue
the extra-hazardous lines of work
without payment of increased prem
iums; that he may travel or reside
wherever he pleases or serve in the
military or naval establishments with
out imparing the Efficacy of his
policy. All of these he is privileged
to do and receive protection against
total permanent disability and protec-
ton of dependents, at death, at a
premium rate he cannot match else
where.
1t is immaterial when total perma-
nent disability occurs, before or after
the age 60, or from what cause, the
insured, if he has kept his policy in
force, will receive the disability benc-
fits under the policy.
To the eX-service man who is now
serving as railroad employee, city
fireman or policeman, telephone or
Telegram lineman, or in any other oc-
cupation which debars him from re-
ceiving insurance protection with
commercial companies, Government
insurance is Godsend. He is thus
enabled to not only secure protection
as men in non-hazardous occupations
may, but he may do so on the ex-
tremely liberal basis offered to ex-
service men and women and none
other. He is given a value for his
money obtainable nowhere else.
Those who carry this insurance are
assured they and their benefciaries
will receive the full amount of pro-
lection purchased as the proceeds
are in no sense subject to the de-
mands of creditors or others, nor are
they subject to taxation in any form

that there will be a close working

railroad company recently entered
the electric power business through
the purchase of the gas and electric

and tips. Salaries paid by a state

reason being that the federal gov

mentalities of a state.
The exemption does not apply to
salaries paid by the federal gov
ernment, except that a federal in
come tax may not be levied on the
salaries of the President of the
United States or federal judges
which would diminish the salaries
that were In effect at the time they
took Office. This provision does
not exempt from taxation the sal
airy of the President of the United
States or federal judges. Its mean :
Ing is that If Congress, after the
President or federal judge has
taken Office, should increase the
rate of taxation, such increase
would not apply to the salaries
payable at the time the oath was
taken.
Fees received by a notary pupllc
