We never have cared particu-

have no reason to like them, for
their noisy rooSting in downtown

residential sections make them un-
desirable citizens compared with
our many sOngbirds. But consider
the fact they are one Of the very
few that feed on the destructive
japanese beetle.

Five Million Dollar Reduction
In State Taxes In Next 2 Years
Real Estate Levy To Be Reduced By 10 Per
Cent And Bonded Indebtedness 30 Per Cent
During Present Administration

.Chief Executive pointed out that
the States burden Of this taxation
twill be relieved to the extent that
the State Government is now able
to reduce the taxes for the support
Of it's various operations"
In announcing an increase of
SITS, 943.00 in the General Funds
Budget for 1912, the Governor
pointed out that requested appro-
priations for this year had been cut
81, 886,s29.89. Likewise, the re-
quests for 1943 from General
Funds were cut $1,915,1O2.69,
making a total of requests refused
of $3.8O1, 932.58.
"Due to the uncertainty of world
conditions" the Governor declared,
"the future at the moment is not
clear, and 1 feel the only safe
course to follow with respect to
State revenues should be on the
conservative side."
1t was pointed out that of the
General Funds increase of SITS, 943
for 1912, necessary appropriations
to public schools, State owned and
.State-aided hospitals and institu-
tions total $604,515, which amount
is equivalent to approximately 773o

In his budget message to the
Legislature Governor Herbert R.
O'Conor furnished a pleasant sur
prise to the taxpayers of the State
in the form of a reduction in the
State Tax on real estate of 5% %
in 1912, and Of 1919 in 1913, for
a total dollar saving for the two
years of $685. 100000.
Coupled with his expected an
nouncement regarding proposed re-
auctions in the Income Tax Levy,
ranging up to 20@o in some CLASH
fications, and because it will apply
to the calendar year 1910 as well)
totaling $4,500,00O savings for the
three fiscal years, the lowering of
the State real estate tax will mean
a combined saving of $5,436, 100. 90
to the people of Maryland.
The Governors address was de-
livered in person to a joint meeting
of the two houses of the General
Assembly, and broadcast to the
people of the State.
In addition, to the reduction in
taxes, Governor OConor noted with
deep satisfaction that "as result
of the fiscal policies now in effect,
the States public debt will be re-
duced by the end of this admins
tration from an initial total of
$48, 100000 to $50, 1865, 700. 90,
representing a reduction of 3080."

When a nation looks at it's
largest industry, a one hundred
seventeen billion, five hundred mil
lion dollar institution, it logically
evaluates its financial condition.
What about this business of life
insurance in which seventy-five per
cent of the citizens of the country
participate, the country's leading
industry, it's greatest paymaster?
On January 1, 1941, the assets of
life insurance companies amounted
to more than $2S, 25O, 100000 - a
great fund set up as the guarantee
of the faith the people have placed
in the institution. Steadily, despite
depressions, recessions, wars and
epidemics, the assets of life insur-
ance continue to grow. The guar
antees written into the millions of
policy contracts owned by the
American people are not idle
words, they are not merely print
er's ink on paper. They are the
truest financial guarantees ever
known.
The $28, 250, 100000 assets of life
insurance are largely found as
$5,343, 100000 in mortgages, S.
sos, 100000 in U. S. bonds, 81, 1885,
100000 in state, county and NUM-
c:pal bonds, 1851, 100000 in Cana
dian bonds, $4,O55, OOO,O 900 in public
utilities. Life insurance is
America. Its welfare is the well
fare of the country. Its strength
ic the strength Of every home.
every industry and its growth is
the growth of a greater America
for us and for generations to come
Since every institution must
justify its existence or cease to
exist, life insurance is here to stay
vital force in sustaining the
country now and in building fol-
an even more glorious future
Money cannot prevent sorrow, but
it can prevent accompanying ira
gedy. The record inspires faith
trust and hope in the hearts Of
those who seek for the security
and peace of mind the troubled
world seems to deny them.
