Some startling insurance fig
ures can pe found in niscellan-
eous insurance statistics of the
1886 annual report of the Insur-
ance Department of Montana.
Premiums on fidelity insurance
amounted to above 381 thousand
dollars. Losses paid were less
than 90 thousand dollars.
Premiums on workmen's COM
pensation insurance for 1885 ex-
ceeded 465 thousand dollars.
Losses paid were less than $685.
600. Some of the most startling
figures appear in the workmen's
compensation table. In 1915 the
premiums paid for workmen's
compensation insurance were
slightly more than las thousand
dollars. The losses paid were ap-
proximately ten thousand dollars.
Those who contribute to the State
Fund for workmen's compensation
should be the most active ones in
getting rid of plan two, that is
where the employer buys insur-
ance from independent foreign
companies, for the simple reason
that these companies select the
good risks which drives all of the
bad risks into the state plan or
State Fund and thus requires an
immense increase of contributions
to that fund by employers. who
must insure their servants in that
fund. Plan two should be abolish
ed not only because the insurance
companies are not prompt in pay
ing their losses to the injured
workman but also for the saliva
ton of plan three which is the
state plan.

Social Security Tax
Returns Should be

The head office Of the Collector
Of Internal Revenue for the Dis
trict of Montana is located at
Helena, and in addition to the
headquarters office there are six
Deputies headquarters offices.
These offices are sometime refer
red to as zone offices, but they are
merely working headquarters for
the Deputies in those particular
localities and are located at Butte,
Billings, Great Falls, Havre, Mis-
soula, and Kalispell, respectively.
Once a year the Deputies in
these zones are taken off of their
regular audit work and assigned
TO help the public in preparing
their income tax returns, usually
for a period Of about three weeks,
beginning the latter part of Feb
ruary and ending March 18th.
During that period the zone Of
fices are used as filing offices for
income tax returns and it is per-
MISSILE for income tax returns to
be filed there, as we'll as in the
office at Helena, but only income
tax returns.
Recently we find that the tax
payers are using the Deputies
headquarters offices in these out
side zones as filing places for So
ciaI Security Tax returns. Our
Deputies in the field cannot handle
this great volume of work. They
cannot acknowledge all of these
