power that the company insures
against. and this loss may come about
through disability of the insured and
his consequent inability to earn a liv-
ing.
Various ways in which the company
may assure the worker against loss
has resulted in the offer by legal re-
serve companies, Of new and improved
contract forms. The contract provid-
ing only a small indemnity at death
of the insured is rapidly passing into
the discard.

1t will readily be seen that by
means of life insurance the exemp-
tons allowed by the federal law may
be increased from the $4,000 exemp-
ton allowed in all cases to 100000 by
including enough life insurance pay
able to personal beneficiaries to reach
that sum. Most states exempt life in
surance with the exception of Arkan-
sas. Mississippi, Montana, Tennessee
and Wisconsin. none of the states at
tempt to tax life insurance when it is
payable to and for the use of bene-
ficiary other than the estate.

LIFE INSURANCE PREVENTS
SACRIFICE SALE OF ASSETS

lance taxes is good business for the
owner of property who through his
familiarity with his affairs can ar
range for the payment more economi-
cally than could his executor or ad-
ministrator.
The life insurance method is the
most economical, convenient and prac-
teal way to provide the large amounts
of ready cash which might otherwise
have to be kept on hand. 1t prevents
a sacrifice sale of assets to raise
ready money. 1t meets a debt which
falls due at death, providing the
money to discharge it for, and not
from, the estate.

New Policies and Methods

Totals for Year.
By c. p. ROCKWELL
Consulting Actusry, Texas State Life
Insurance Company

New production records made in
the life insurance field in the year
1924 seem phenomenal when com
pared with the once famous peak"
year of 1920 and again with the biz
year of 1928. In 1924, all previous
records for new business were broken
with a production estimated at Sl3,-
500, OO0. 900. With few exceptions,
companies made substantial increase
in the year 1924, the gain for the en-
tire country being estimated at about
eight per cent. In the South and
Middle West the younger companies
made startling increases in new bust
ness and in insurance in force.
The agency staffs of the companies
were materially increased during the
year, although the general tendency
was to select new agents more care
fully than ever before and see that
the men were fully instructed before
being sent out with rate book. Not
only the companies, but many promi-
nent agencies in the big cities. as well,
conducted schools for statesmen, sew
eral requiring as much as a six
months course, supplemented by prac-
teal selling.
EDUCATIONAL WORK.
Life insurance sales congresses held
under the regional plan and under the
auspices Of the local associations Of
life underwriters with the general su-
pervision of the National Association,
reported larger attendances than in
the previous year. The growth of the
life association movement was notice
able, and further development is ex-
pected during 1925, as a result of
President Clegg's having a travelling
assistant who is touring the country
recommending improvements in local
association methods. The plan of
standardized programs for monthly
meetings of local associations-com-
mon interest meetings-which was
started in December, 1928, and car
ried through the first few months Of
1924, was remarkably successful. Edu-
cational work along life insurance
lines was continued and expanded in
the various colleges which have so far
adopted life insurance courses as a
regular part of their curriculum.
The Association Of Life Insurance
Presidents, in its tables published
quarterly and filed with the United
States Department of Commerce,
proved that new life business was on
the increase and That the momentum
acquired in 1924 gave every promise
of continuing during 1925. In fact.

Companies Insure Against
Loss Of Earning Power
Help Community.
By r. D. M'CRUM.
General Agent Kansas City Life
Insurance Co.


Life insurance, like all other forms
Of insurance, has as its basis, the pro-
vision Of indemnity for monetary los.
The fact that immediate earning pow
er of an individual has a worth that
must be protected in some way result
ed in the plan of writing insurance 10
provide certain sums if the individual
becomes disabled through sickness or
accident. This earning power, how
ever, has a worth far in excess OF the
immediate present, and is the sum OF
money the individual will earn through
his lifetime. This amount is called
the life value, and il is this value that
life insurance protects against loss
through premature death of the
worker.
Originally life insurance was used
only TO indemnify the family of a
worker lost through death; but this
conception has now broadened until
the legal reserve companies are offer
ing protection against every possible
contingency that may occur to pro-
Queer.
COMMUNITY VALUE.
The last few years has seen the rise
of the idea that the productive worker
has a value to the community as well
as to his family; and this ~commun-
ity value is represented by his sup
port of the government in the form Of
taxes, BY his contribution to charity,
and by his work in building up and
maintaining the community in which
be lives. These activities can re-
main valuable to the community only
hy the continuation of the life IN queS-
tion: but life insurance replaces, in
some measure this value by distribut-
ing il in the form of indemnity
throughout the circre of the former
activity.
Every financial transaction must
have its guarantee against financial
loss. The money lender demands :;
mortgage on valuable property TO gua-.
sntee him against the loss of his
money. The bank depositor demands
9 rigid set of laws and "a rigid adher-
ence to those laws in order that he
NAV be assured of the safety Of his
money.
AID WORKER.
In the same way the owner Of
building insures it against loss by fire
or other destructive agency, so that
he may rebuild if loss occurs. In the
sense that a life is insured the COM
psny assuming the risk cannot be said
to insure against a contingency, how
ever. for the thing insured against,
death. must come TO all Of us. The
popular idea of insurance on a life.

Whereas smoking among our

prevalent, = reads the resolution,
land having the conviction that
if not curbed it will become Il per,
nicious habit, we hereby resolve
that the women's club of Ann
Arbor has placed itself ON record
as being opposed to the practice. y
The majority of the students,
writing to the Daily, profess to
see in the resolution direct hit at
coed smoking. In the main they
condemned the criticism as an in
comprehensibly narrow m ind e. 4

The strict university ban ON wo-
men smoking was lifted here two
years ago and various self govern

against the use of tobacco. 9th
