INSURANCE FIRMS
IN GOOD POSITION
Continued Federal Deficits
Remain Threat to Bond
Holdings.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 7.-However
important life insurance may be as q
great repository Of public wealth, with
investments constituting about one
seventh the long-term mortgage and
bonded debt Of the entire country, its
status as guardian of the savings of
millions of individuals with small in
comes gives it an added significance
which above everything else demands
careful safeguarding Of the funds with
which it is intrusted. according to
the Index of the New York Trust Co.
That the 100000, ,000-odd life in
surance policies currently outstand-
ing" the Index continues, ARE divided
among some 64,000,000 persons proves
that life insurance is held, in the
main, in small amounts by people of
moderate means. The number Of pol
icyholders exceeds the number of
voters in the last national election as
well as the number of wage earners
in the entire country by nearly so
per cent.
In 1929 the major investment of
these companies was mortgages, both
farm and other type of mortgages
constituting AZ per cent of the total OF
all assets" Pointing out that by the
end of 1887 there had been a decline
in this class of investments to 1873
per cent, or less than half the ratio
of the earlier year, the Index says.
the decrease in total mortgage hold
ings has been counteracted by an in
crease in bond holdings, in which
United States Government bonds now
play the major role. The total for
all bonds at the close of 1929 amount
ed to $5,657, ,000,0 900, or approximately
IS per cent of the total admitted
assets, and eight years later it had
more than doubled, amounting to $l2,-
962, 100000, or So per cent of such
assets.
During the last year the gains
made by the life insurance companies
over 1886 were substantial in most
categories. This continuation of gains
emphasizes still further the basically
healthy condition of life insurance
and the continued reliance upon this
form of savings and financial protec-
ton by a majority Of the citizens Of
the United States.
Continued governmental deficits
and increases in the public debt re-
main a possible threat to the stability
Of life insurance investments. and the
need for constructive settlement Of
our underlying monetary and fiscal
problems is more insistent than ever"
the Index concludes.

Witnesses reported the plane was
preparing to land at the airport
against a strong crosswind. Sud-

TAXATION

without a complete study and
revision of the basic statutes of
Arizona taxation, this state can
only stagger through successive
periods Of experiment through
'stOp-gap' legislation.
Temporary patches and splices
fail to solve the urgent need in Ari-
zona of a revised tax system, one
which will be fair to all districts
and classes alike for no county
can prosper at the expense of an
other county, and no class will sue
ceed over the handicaps borne by
another class.
The state legislature should OBJ
tain data and undertake to equaliZe
the tax responsibilities of every in
dustry, so that the burden of sup
porting the state government will
be carried in fair and equitable
manner by those who receive the
benefits of gov rnment.
The people of Arizona do not OBJ
ject to a fair tax bill, but they do
object to inequities. Sidney P. Os-
born will bring before the state leg
islature recommendations to shift
the tax burden back where it be-
longs.
THIS is OSBORN REFORM
Nogales international., 1938-09-10
SECURITY

For happy and prosperous state
there must be provided, through
the sound channels Of private trade,
opportunity for the young men and
women; and there must be gaaran-
teed security for all in their de-
clining years.
A program of security must be
developed for the state which will
serve to augment charitable and
relief endeavorS now existent. Re-
lief in periods Of dire want is not
encugh-the state must recognize
that each individual and ev Try fam
lily wishes to be self-reliant.
Arizona has excellent land which
could be turned to the use of the
unemployed through a co-ordinated,
state-directed, rehabilitation pro-
gram. We should return to thc
thrift of our forefathers, and in
times of plenty prepare for periods
of want.
To such a program Sidney P. Os-
born is lending his efforts, and the
p ople of Arizona find in this can
didate for governor a man willing
to face the problem of providing
opportunity and security for all
the states residents.
THIS is OSBORN FORESIGHT
Nogales international., 1938-09-10

Starting from the insidc, the cat
tie industry of Arizona must be
given an opportunity to work out
its own problems and participate
in program that will recognize
the self-sufficiency of the indus
try.
The state, livestock sanitary board,
which handles cattlemen's problems,
is not dependent for its support
upon taxation. The fees paid by
the industry provide funds for
maintenance.
Changes in livestock production
and state responsibilities for pre-
lection of the industry have multi
piled the duties of inspectors and
other officers. An increased per-
SOnnel is needed to handle increas-
ing shipments and to protect the
industry against thievery.
AS governor, SidnTy p. Osborn
proposes that this industry shall
take an active hand in the selec-
ton of its public servants. The
cattlemen Of Arizona shall recon-
mend to the governor personnel
they want to do their work.
THIS is OSBORN COOPERATION

FARMING:

ArizOna's long growing season,
fertile soil, abundant water supply,
and sunshine presage a remarkable
era of prosperity.
With the assistance of a state
industrial and resources s authority to
investigate the possibilities of new
crops and promote the sale of prod
ucts new to production in the
United States, agriculture in Ari-
zOna could be assured of greater
and safer annual income.
Arizona need not continue to de-
vote it's valuable lands to cOmpeti-
tive crops. This state can raise
products now imported from abroad,
and command a price that will al
low a more abundant life for Ari-
zona's farm folk and bring rich
trade to the business establish
ments and enterprises of the state.
The first candidate for governor
to advocate and work for such a
constructive program for Arizona
is Sidney p. Osborn. He knows the
needs of his native state and he
has the heart to strive for the best
interest of all Arizona.
THIS is OSBORN PROGRESS
