ANNUAL PREMIUMS

Dewey had experts of the vet

The experts decided that for
each 500 of tax liability on his
1912 income a 30-year-old man
would pay a 3i-cent annual
premium; a 40-year-old man would
pay 40 cents; a 50-year-old, 50
cents; a 60-year-old, $119, and a
70-year-old. $2S8.

INSURE AGAINST RISK

II believe "A reduced 1912 liza
bility spread over five years
would not be an unreasonable
burden to place on the taxpayer
even while he carries his cur
rent taxes under pay-as-you-gO,"
Dewey said.
But by spreading this amount
out over 80 long "A time. the gov
eminent runs grave risk of
loss due 20 death of the tax
payer. Ii Is this contingency
that I would insure against"
Dewey said the results WOulC
be two-fold.
1-Th6 treasury would be
Safeguarded against loss through
death.
2 The taxpayers estate
would be protected against gov
eminent liens for unpaid taxes.
THE treasury would carry
the inSurance--and very clieap
insurance" Dewey said. "And
