Has Carried No Policy. SALEM. Or.. Dec. 9. (Special.) Whether state institutions shall carry fire insurance on their own buildings, and if so, whether they will be obliged to pay premiums out of their own funds, or some new state enactment for this expense, are questions opened up by the new state tax limitation amendment and suggested in a letter to Governor Withycombe from L. H. Johnson, secretary of the Board of Regents of the University of Oregon. In writing to tho Governor, Mr. Johnson says: "Since the enactment of the law providing for the reconstruction of state buildings and replacement of fixtures destroyed by fire, the Univer sity has carried no insurance on Its buildings, relying on the authority of the Emergency Board to replace prop erty destroyed by fire. Now that the 6 per cent tax limitation is to become operative, the question arises as to what should be the future policy of the University Board of Regents relative to carrying insurance on buildings." "Governor Withycombe has not yet determined what course he will advo cate, although he says that unless the coming Legislature devises some meth od of general Insurance for all state buildings, business precaution will, of course, compel each institution to buy its own insurance. Just how the pre mium can be paid is the problem." says a statement Issued at the execu tive offices. meeting place.

The Investment of the assets of an insurance company has a direct and important bearing on the soundness of the company and the cost of its Insur ance. The National Life confines its Invest ments to the two highest types of trust fund securities municipal bonds and first mortgages on real estate. The National does not invest in com mercial and industrial stocks and bonds. Being subject to serious fluctuations caused by business conditions, they are not considered by the National's man agement desirable Investments for a life insurance company. The National's assets are so invested as to aid in the extension of agricultu ral and municipal credit wholly with in the United States. The investments of the National Life have been so well chosen that during the last thirteen years 1109,958.809.74 has been placed without loss through default of principal or Interest.
