POLICYHOLDER PAYS THE TAX. Measure Causing the People to Think Quite • Little About Taxation—What the Law 1’rovldea — Legislation In Which There la Bald to Be a Good Deal of Injustice. The Weaver Insurance Ij*w. The Weaver insurance law, says a Lincoln correspondent, which went into effect July 1, is causing people to think quite a little about the taxation of the premiums or gross receipts of old line insurance companies. This law provides for a tax of 2 per cent on the gross premiums paid to this class of insurance companies in Nebraska. Some policy holders are inclined to think that it Ib a system of double taxation. Nearly all of the old line companies, it is asserted, are on a mutual basis and return to the policy holders every cent above the actual expenses of management and the pay ment of mortality losses. These sav ings in expense are called profits or dividends. “A policy holder in a mutual old line Insurance company is at the same time a stockholder or a member of the company and receives each year or at the end of a period of years his share of the profits, thereby reducing the net amount he pays the company to the acutal cost of carrying insurance,” said a policy holder in one of the old line companies who has made a study of insurance. .“Hence legislation that increases the expense of a company merely lessens the amount of a pre mium to be returned to the insured, thereby increasing the cost of insur ance. Suppose all the states Bhouid exact a charge of 2 per cent, it would mean that the cost of insurance would be increased by 2 per cent of the total premiums. The annual premium on a twenty-payment life policy for flO.OOO is $360. A tax of 2 per cent would be $7.20, which represents the additional cost to the policy holder, as this amount would be returned to him as an unused portion of the premium. “To show the injustice of this kind of legislation, suppose in the case of two men of equal income one should make no provision tor his family and leave them to be dependent upon the community; this man escapes the tax and his provident neighbor, whose in come is no larger, but who, feeling the responsibility to his family and socl ty, appropriates each year a portion of his income in providing for their future in case they Bhouid be deprived of his earning capacity, would be pun ished for so ding and his punishment would be graded according to the de gree of his philanthropy. “Many policy holders are beginning to inquire if this sort of taxation 1b fair and equitable. They.are coming to the conclusion that the taxing of premiums does affect the management expense of an insurance company and merely makes an additional burden for the policy holders to carry. It teems to me that the policy holders ought to protest against a system of taxation which discriminates against the industrious and provident citizen In favor of the spendthrift and com pels the former not only to pay for the privilege of being honest to his family, but in addition to pay his share to maintain an institution for keeping in later years the family of his irre sponsible neighbor.” Kx-8«nwtor Allen Makes Denial. Lincoln dispatch: Judge Allen, who Is temporarily in the city, was asked by a Bee reporter concerning the re port printed in the New York Tribune that he had entered government land under the reservoir act. Judge Allen emphatically denied the charges made by the Tribune and the commissioner of the general land of fice. He said that he never entered a toot of government land in his life. That what land he did own, and that was very little, • had been purchased, not entered. The judge said that a man named William F. Allen, a citizen of Omaha, it is alleged, entered land in the O'Neill land district under the reservoir act, which was probably the foundation for the story connecting his name with the deal. Judge Allen showed the reporter two dispatches which he had just written for transmission from Madi ron, his home. The dispatches are as follows: MADISON, Neb.—Hon. Binger Her man, Commissioner General Land Of fice, Washington, D. C.: Your state ment that I have entered government land under the reservoir or any other act is a falsehood and I demand that you retract it. I never entered a foot of government land in my life. WILLIAM V. ALLEN. MADISON, Neb.—The New York Tribune, New York: Your statement that I have entered public lands under the rebervoir act is a flat falsehood. I never entered a foot of government land in my life, I ask you to retract the statement. WILLIAM V. ALLEN. Fatal Mistake In Mottles. By mistaking a bottle containing carbolic acid for a bottle of pepper mint, John E. Prendergast, of Omaha, aged 22 years, drank a poisonous po tion 'which result^ |n almost immed iate flg&U? Last evening. The young Mhn Teft his home in the evening and remained out all night, returning shortly after 6 o'clock next evening. He had been imbibing so'me what freely during his absence, and his first thought, doubtless, upon reaching his home was to allay the effects of the dissipation. He went di rectly to the pantry and there grasped the bottle which he supposed con tained the peppermint. He had made a mistake, however, and drank half the contents of an ounce bottle con taining carbolic acid. He was thrown into convulsions immediately and did not regain consciousness. Death came as a relief within an hour. , » * * " * Fin* Crop Fro*prct». A Beatrice correspondent of the Lincoln Journal writes: Farmers are busy harvesting their oats, a crop which this year will be the largest ever raised in the county. The acre age is unusually large and the yield will be enormous, thousands of acres producing an average of fifty to sixty bushels per acre. At this time of the year interest centers in the corn crop, which never gave better promise than at present The winter wheat crop proving a failure a great deal of wheat land was plowed up and put in corn, so that the acreage in corn in this county will reach nearly if not quite, 250 acres. To say that it looks mag nificent is no exaggeration. The most of the corn is in tassel and a great deal of it is beginning to shoot the ears out. The stand is unusually per fect and a bumper crop is almost as good as assured. At present there are scarcely any fat cattle in the county, but several herdB of fine heifers and stock cattle were Been. As a rule the farms passed were not only in a high state of cultivation, but were kept neat and clean. One farm, that of Harvey Mason, which was passed, was a model, ’me large lawn about the house and barn was mowed close and in comparison with many yards to be seen in town, would put the owners of the latter to shame. The writer has made an esti mate based partly on reports of as sessors of the crop in acres, and finds that there will be approximately 250. 000 acres of corn, 10,000 acres of wheat and 50,000 acres of oats. Pota toes have this year also done excep tionally well and there is a large acre age. Gage county is now smilling hei sweetest thanks to dame nature. Condition of the Crop*. The past week has been cool, with showers In nearly all parts of the state. The average daily temperature deficiency was about 1 degree. The maximum temperatures the first days of the week slightly exceeded 90 de grees, but the last part of the week were about or below 85 degrees. The rainfall has been above normal In most counties touching the Platte river and. with a few exceptions, be low normal in other counties. The heaviest rainfalls occurred in Gosper, Buffalo and Platte counties, where be tween two and two and one-half inches fell. The past week has been another ex cellent growing week. In most parts of the state it has been a good week for harvesting. Most of the rye and winter wheat in central and southern counties has been cut. Threshing has commenced in southern counties. A few yields of winter wheat are report ed, but they vary from five to thirty bushels per acre. The oat harvest has commenced in the central and is near ing completion in the southern coun ties. Corn has continued to grow rapidly in all parts of the state. Tassels be gin to show in most fields in the cen tral counties, and the silk is appear ing and ears are forming in southern counties. G. A. LOVELAND, Section Director. New Dm for Nebraska Soil. Chadron dispatch: A new and in teresting discovery has been made for the use of Nebraska dirt. A woman in this county, has discovered a method for rectifying Indian maize or corn oil, maJUng it a valuable substitute for olive oil. It is not generally known that under the new milling process the kernel Is degermed before manufacture into flour or other food products. This little germ containing the life prop erties of the corn kernel also contains a rancid oil that taints and gives an unwholesome flavor to corn food pro ducts when not removed. The crude oil is thu3 thrown onto the corn mill ers in large quantities, and until this discovery they have had no method for successfully treating, hence it was valueless because of its rancid nature. Mrs. Emma C. Sickles, now attend ing the Domestic Science Laboratory in Washington City, discovered the way to treat it with the soil off her farm in this county. After several months’ time she applied for a patent, which was granted a few days ago, since which she has closed contracts with several eastern corn milling con cerns for the use of the soil in car lots, to be used in the treatment of the crude oil. The patentee says the oil can be used quite as successfully in the beet sugar and other food pro ducts. She will be here in a few days to personally oversee the shipping of the oil. Hers is the only method dis covered in America for treatment of corn oil, and all former corn oils used on American tables were rectified in Austria. She has found that no other part of America furnishes soil that will successfully treat the oil. Regents In Session. The board of regents were in ses sion for two days and the resigna tion of Chancellor MacLean was ac cepted and a committee appointed to look after employing his successor. This committee consists of Regents Weston, Gould, Kenower and Rawlins. A member of the committee said that no special man was being considered by the committee and he knew of none who had been mentioned. The board also accepted the resignation of Prof. Ansley, who intends to engage in the practice of law in Illinois. The re gents had their time occupied with the task of selecting an acting chancellor to fill the place until the successor of Dr. MacLean is named. The board named Dean Charles F.
