Of the development Of group insurance
is that il has been accompanied con-
with an extraordinarily large
development Of the regular forms Of

Group life insurance supplements the
work Of the individual agent since
this agent Is restricted in his ability
to canvass time and piece workers IN

during working bours. Group life in

FLOORS frs I
THOUGHT Of
DECORATOR
They Should !'l Be Darker
Than Woodwork for
ia d, Best Effect.

s According to Agnes Foster Wright.
formerly president of the New York
Interior Decorators League and an
authority on home decoration, women
who do their own decorating will turn
"a puzzle into a real inspiration if
they give first thought to their floors.
"The floor is most important"
Mr. Wright explains, "as it is from
the floor that we build up our entire
room for color and for the placement
of furniture. Furthermore. the floor
is the first thing we see as we walk
into a room.
Unfortunately in many homes, the
floor has been entirely ignored in the
planning of the decoration. The rea-
son for this lies in the fact that floors.
too Often, are considered just some
thing to walk on-areas of wood ex-
panse. vanished or waxed in tones
of yellow.
SEEK CHANGES.
Most women take for granted the
ohS-tohcu fioOib tudt CUulc Win III"
houses they buy or build. Uncon-
sciously, however, they strive TO do
something with these floors. Rugs
are chosen to add color, but with the
unhappy results that around every rug
there is borderland of yellow that
is out of sympathy with the rest of
the room.
How much better it is TO plan the
floor from the beginning to do its
part. And how easy and inexpensive
it is too, for today you can lay floors
of colorful linoleum over old wood
floors, and thus start your color
scheme with smart. attractive found
alton.
Floors should. of course. be darker
than walls, to give feeling of
stability and sense of foundation.
Where the furniture is dark and
substantial in character, we can use
soft, neutral grays, browns and tans
in our floors, which we find in the
plain and jaspe linoleums.

GROUP POLICY
HELPS WORKER
BUILD CITY
Industrial Insurance
Becomes Leader in
Social Service.
By c. P. ROCKWELL

Group insurance has achieved a vol
ume of protection upon the lives of
workers in this country equal to the
amount Of industrial insurance in
force at the time group insurance had
its birth in 1911.
1t is not difficult for most men in
the life insurance business to carry
their minds back to 1911 and contem-
plate their then estimate Of the great
social service of Industrial insurance
as shown in the impressive figures of
the 80 industrial companies inclusive
of the three industrial giants, report
ing an aggregate volume in force of
s., 400, 100000.
Compare these figures illustrative of
the splendid service of industrial in
surance over its long years of exist
ence to 1911, with the SO, 132, 000, 600
OF group insurance piled up by the
seven leading life insurance companies.
Add to this aggregate the amount of
group insurance in force by the re-
naming round dozen of companies &C.
i've in the group field. and the grand
total comes up to approximately the
outstanding volume Of industrial in.
surance in force IA years ago.
BEGAN IN 1912.
While group insurance was "a born
ing in 1911 the consensus of insur-
ance opinion places its formal begin
ming in the year 1912 when the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society of the
United States inaugurated the first
department of group insurance and
wrote the first large group policy.
ms contract was on the MONTGOMERY
ward Company of Chicago, covering
several thousand employees for an
amount Of insurance which at the
time exceeded all records for volume
under any one life. policy. More than
mat, 1t exceeded in accomplishment
the dreams Of most insurance men.
ana, therefore, served in an unusual
way 10 attract the attention of the
insurance world to group insurance.
Prior TO the placing of this policy
lno during the long negotiations lead |
ing towards this insurance. the Eouit- |
aole perfected the plan Of insuring the |
employes of one employer without
medical examination on a yearly term
basis with the premiums paid through |
the employer and at that time BY the
employer. The company, therefore.
mad the policy form and the premium
rates, and was in position 10 write

tract and did so in two instances.

All Property In State Must Be
Assessed at Sale Prices.

Madison-That all property in the
state must be assessed at a price for
which it would sell for at sale and
that this must be the rule which as
SCISSORS of the state must follow is
the effect Of a message sent by the
state tax commission to every local
assessor in Wisconsin. At this ses-
sion of the legislature a resolution
has been passed showing that in some
communities property is over assess
ed. The legislative declaration
points out that farm values were
inflated during the year 1916 to 1920
and that although the value Of farm
property has deprecated there has
been no corresponding decrease in
the assessment. Because of tho
legislative complaint the tax com
mission has sent a copy of this
resolution to every local assessor
together with other information as
to methods which should be followed
in fixing the assessment of property
for taxation

Entitled to Tax
Refund From County
Attorney General Makes Ruling in
Tax Matters Affecting Hurley
and the County.

A ruling affecting a settlement
of taxes for the year 1924 between
the city of Hurley and the county
was made this week by Attorney
General Ekern on request of District
Attorney Warren b. Foster.
In accordance with the ruling
Hurley is entitled to a refund for
county taxes paid in 1924 on ac-
count of settlements made with the
0danah Iron company and the
Harmony Iron Mining company.
The matter dates back to 1929,
when re-assessment of Hurley
property was made on petition to
the state tax commission. Under
the re-assessment the valuations of
the properties of the two mining
companies was considerably increas-
ed. The tax of the 0danah Iron
company for that year amounted to
$20,39708 under the re-assessment.
The tax of the Harmony Iron Mining
company amounted to $6,543.03.
The mining companies paid their
respective taxes under protest.
The mining companies claimed
that the taxes were illegal and the
matter dragged along for some time.
At a meeting of the Hurley city
council held March 20 a resolution
was presented and adopted providing
for a settlement with the 0danah
Iron company for 1922 taxes at
6,106.02, providing satisfactory
settlement and adjustment could be
made with Iron county. the city of
Hurley having paid county and state
taxes for that year under the re-
assessment valuations. A similar
resolution for a settlement with the
Harmony Iron Mining company was
also adopted. The tax of this
company was fixed at $5,425.
In making a settlement with the
county and state for 1924 taxes the
city of Hurley claimed that it was
entitled to credit or refund on
account of the settlements made with
the mining companies at lower
figures than the original assessment.
District Attorney Foster applied to
the attorney general for a ruling in
the matter. His decision was to the
effect that where an excessive tax is
paid to city under protest and then
is refunded from the city after the
latter has given the county and state
their share, the city is entitled 70
credit for the county and states
proportion in the tax adjustment for
the ensuing year.

Would Refer Beer
Proposal to People
Senate DEGREES That People Should
Have Right to Express Opinion
on Liquor Law Change

Madison-The state senate de-
cisively decreed in resolution
adopted last night, 13 to 10, that the
people of the state shall have a right
to express at the polls in the next
general election their opinion as to
whether the Nolstead act should be
amended SO rs to permit the manu-
facture and sale of 2.75 alcoholic
content beer
The proposal was first advanced i'm
the senate as resolution coming
from the senate committee on state
and local government and embraced
beer and light wines. Ii asked the
Legislature to memorabilia congress
to modify the national dry act to
permit the manufacture and sale Of
the two beverages mentioned
A substitute by Senator Merritt
White replaced the committee meas
ure. This was to refer the question
whether the legislature should do the
memorializing to vote Of the peo-
pie. Senator Quick attacked the
White substitute as being ian insult
to the intelligence and INDEPENDENCE
of the legislature. The substitute
superseded the committee resolution
only for brief period when it was
again amended.
Meanwhile an amendment by Sena-
tor Harry Sauthoff was adopted.
This struck from the resolution the
reference to light wines.
Senator Walter Polakowski then
offered an amendment to the White
substitute which brought the measure
up to the final form in which it was
adopted by the senate. This made
the question to be whether the atti-
tude of Wisconsin should be express
ed in direct memorials to congress by
the people without further act by the
legislature.
The vote by which the beer resolu-
ton referendum was adopted:
For adoption Barber, Baker,
Bllgrien, Vashman, Case, Daggett,

Keeping Highways
Clean and Neat
Highway Commission Asks Coopera-
ton of Public in Keeping Rub
Dish Off The Roads.

The state of Wisconsin is spending
large sums of money every year to
maintain, mark and beautify the
highways so that our own people
that enjoy driving, may get the
uttermost comfort and pleasure in
doing so, and also to attract tourists
from other states, to come here for
their outings.
As it is about time for the annual
Cleanup" campaign to start, we
wish to call attention to Chapter
1910 of the statutes which says
ANY person who shall throw, leave
or deposit on any state highway or
any state trunk highway, any weeds.
sod, brush or other waste or rubbish
shall be liable to forfeiture of not
less than five dollars nor more than
twenty-five dollars"
1t would seem to be unnecessary
to call this to the attention of the
public as surely every one that
travels by auto, and most everyone
does now adays, must have noticed
the unslghtly piles OF papers, TIN
cans and other rubbish that has been
dumped along our highways.
Last season while the cleanup
season was on, we found many places
where bags, boxes and even barrels
of cans, broken jars, bottles and
other rubbish had been dumped on
the roads, evidently from moving
automobiles, as they were strung
along on the roadbed and in the
bitches, where they had to be cleaned
up by the patrolmen.
All cities, villages and towns, we
are sure provide a place to dump
such rubbish and we are asking you
all to cooperate with us this summer
in keeping the highways as neat as
possible, keeping in mind the fact
that strangers driving through our
city, town or village, judge us by
what they see along the road.
Thanking you in advance for this
cooperation, we are,
Yours for neater highways,
Wisconsin Highway Commission.
