That means that the policyholders have to pay It, either oy paying higher premiums for their in surance) or by receiving smaller divi dends Wa hear the complaint a good many times from policyholders that iney ao noi receive uae same returns . ; In dividends that they did a few years ' ago. This Is true, and tbe reaaon is . 'that the companies have to pay all ithese unjust indirect tsxea It Is all ' right ror tne companies to pay. a license fee for doing business. But when they not only have to pay this and a direct tax on their assets, but alao these ever. ' 'lasting indirect taxes it is going a little too far. - j "It ia not fair to the policy holders. Suppose for Instance that there . are xour of us here who are carrying 11 .'Insurance in order to provide for our ' twlves and children after our death and ''to insure the payment of our creditors. . i vva are taxea at every turn ana wnere ;does the money go? Of course it goes . into a gnerai fund. And there are, iwe will say, 20 men, just aa well able . .to carry life insurance as we four, who carry none. They have made no pro- 'vision to keep their families from be coming a charge on the state or to ;pay ; off their creditors and continue jtheir business. The taxes collected on .(the premiums we pay go for the bene fit of these men." ' ,:'- Business Increasing. Regarding the life inauranea sltua- ' jtton today, Mr. Edwards said that the buaineaa waa never before so great. !"LUe insurance today," he said, 'Is as much one of the pillars of society as js tne DajQKing ousmeas or tne ranroaj business. The insurance investigations ,'liave dons us no harm. Rather, thv : j have enormously increased the -buai-v ness done. If you want a businesN to prosper, you want to get it talked about. Now practically every man in the country thinks he knows something : about insurance, and aa a consequence we have done a bigger business dur ing the past six montha than in ari leoual lenjrth of tlma before." Will Goldman and David C. Herrlr. prominent life insurance men of th: 'city, corroborated this statement, say Ing that they have done more business In the past six months than during: the previous year. . Mr. Edwards . comes here from Los Angeles, where he attended the conven tion of the western life insurance men He says that he has heard so much concerning the fine climate of the Pa cific northwest where a man can live ,and be comfortable for 12 months out of the year that he had to come up and eea,for himself. "I want to find out." he says, "whether or not the stories are true. If they are not I want to : copper them." Will Goldman of the Manhattan Life Insurance company, took charge of Mr. Kdwards upon his arrival. The insur ance men of the city will entertain liim during the time he is here, and he will be taken about the city, and pos sibly out into the country, to see what sort of a place Oregon is. Tomorrow night a banquet and reception will be. given in his honor at the Commercial C1UD. AA. I TheLaborQuestion Solved by GoIdDust The Gold Dust Twins are always looking for work. They are ready to lift the biggest burden of household labor from your shoulders and shift it to their own. When it comes to cleining of .any kind, they are the most willing and tireless .little Tbusy-bodies you ever knew. They work without wagei and demand no Thursday afternoons out. Gold Dust is a necessity in every well-regulated home. There is no other cleanser which can take its place. Ask anyone who has ever used it, and they will tell you that Gold Dust is the greatest boon ever invented for tired women. Order a package at your grocer's to-day and know what "easy housework" means. Do not use Soap, Naphtha, Borax, Soda; Ammonia or Kerosene with Gold Dust. Gold Dust has all desirable cleansing qualities in a perfectly harmless and lasting form. The Gold Dust Twins need no outside help. Made by THE N. K.
