Buyers Of FIRE insurance indirectly but actually
contribute vast sum-epproximately 30
million dollars ennuelly-in taxes, most OF
which are Of special nature and in addition
to the regular taxes borne by insurance COM
panies. Such taxes are burden upon the
premium Of the policyholder, notwithstanding
they are collected from the companies.
The original purpose oftaxes on the premiums
paid by poIcyhoIders was to maintain state
supervision Of the business. However, such
supervision now uses bute few cents Of each
dollar 50 collected. The bdlsnce goes into
the general funds Of the states.
Add to the Cost Of Insurance
These special and regular state tdxes are
factors in the cost Of insurance. The opinion
Of the Chamber Of Commerce Of the United
States has been expressed as follows:
-: Special state taxes now levied
on poIicyholders through insurance com
panies should not be considered as
source Of general revenue, but should
be reduced to the total in each state
which will adequately support such
states departmental supervision ::s

RUBBER MAT Gil.
FOR :MATMEN

The meeting between Dick
Shikat and Ray Steele at the
Washington Auditorium on Oc-
tober 16 will be the rubber match
between these ranking heavy
weight grapplers. Each has
beaten the other once and they
were smashing encounters, with
each wrestler giving his best.
Promoter Joe Turner. in view
of this match, decided not ito
hold his regular show this week.
Though he has fair weather for
a show at the Griffith Stadium
tonight, he thought it best to
hold off on account of his star
card for the Washington Audi
torium one week from tomorrow
night.
Turner was forced to do some
tall bidding to get these grap-
piers together again and finally
guaranteed both performers $4,000.
1t is a match that would draw
well in such towns as New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago.
Turner announces that women,
accompanied by escorts, will be
admitted free, except to the ring
side and box seats.
