Place or'Effe Insurance Is ToYd By 11 A. MoKttey: ' '
'Htfw Is' life Insurance related to i
thrift? ' A lite insurance policy is j
undoubtedly a strong; Incentive to,
thrift,, and, Inrtbe. words o Pres
ident Coolldge, "every policy. is. a ,
declaration of independence, . a
charter for economic freedom. 'He
who 'holds one has oVercoine ad
versity." Lord Nelson In his 'will
left his wire and daughter "to
the tender care of the "British
Nation, to which I have'glren my
life." Ills wife and daughter prar
ltatcd to the poor house.
'"Some wiao sage has said, "you
can gauge to- what degree of civil
ization a man has attained by the
amount of life insurance he has
for' his dependents, and a wife can
raeasare her husbands lote by the
amount of insurance he carries
for;her.M Andwhy not? Isn't the
institution of life-insurance purely
the result of civilization? There
has ben found no evidence of any
scheme of life insurance practiced
by the heathen tribes,
. In. the United. States, the per
capita ; life Insurance -carried is
higher 'than any other country In
the world. It is , because the
amount we carry as a nation is in
direct proportion to the degree of
civilization we. have attained. Yet
"a' recent government ; survey dis
closed that less than ten percent
of the economic value of . human
life in the United States Is covered
by. : insurance, which ; "naturally
would imply that ninety percent
of our population is either phys
ically or morally unable to' get In
surance or to Imprudent to 'avail
themselves ef the benefit of it.
i The Institution of life insur
ance' fs one ef the finest things
In the world when 'viewed In its
proper Bense, but unfortunately,
far too many fall K, realize that
tbeylhave a wonderful heritage.
The '' institution is comparatively
young. When our forefathers as
sumed family obligations they had
no way by wh'cb they could create
an estate -quickly to "maintain
their families in event of prema
ture death, but today the young
man' assuming family obligations
ha3 "a 'snap, 'fie 'Isn't VompetlftT
to, gamble, -with -fate. Ha-cas -call
in his favorite insurance tfoiinseldr
who "can fix rip an estate "tjtiicldy
if .'he is in jgood physical state.
In the United States approxi
mately 11.000.000 people die
every -year. The. number . dying
in a single day Is about Ithirty
percent -greeted than the popula
tion of Salem. ! , -
If there is no more than the
material facts of man, a woman
and offeprlng.but if one sees In
the group, the spiritual miracle tf
the Father, the Mother, " with
Children to grow up and succeed
to the beliefs, and aspiration of
the parents their life insurance
has a service to render second in
importance, only to life itself.
The, life insurance salesman's
position Is unique. To be suc
cessful he must be a combination
of a salesman and a minister, be
cause in the final analysis a man
Is not life Insurance, rather he Is
converted to It; Yes, with "the
prudent, life insurance ' is para
mount in the orde of thrift.

In -a well-worded letter, TV- I
Hargrove outlined his 'past : record
with the Salem parks. 'During
the time 'since he was 'employed
on the parks be has been a care
ful worker and during the past
tew ears has eared for; more than
12 acres of lawns of the jrity
parks. This has taken .much titoe
and labor, for the past Beason has
been a dry one. Nevertheless, the
beautiful flowers in Wilaon and
Marlon park have called forth, the
praises of the j touristsl'who 'have
visited the city.:;.:'. 'j j
During the j past i4w taonths
Mr. Hargrave was given a $50. de
crease in his wages and ;f he
thought it was not lair hat he
should be treated in such fa man
ner. He stated that he was will
ing to go ahead with his trork of
it was agreeable with the officials.
Following an addresa 'by Coun
cilman Dancy,'' who stated that a
man who had! given taithful ser
vice "to the eity should Tnot be dis
missed from the payroll unless
some provision had been made for
him. j As the city has ,no pension
of any sort, it Is ot 'possible. 'to
make any recommendations, in
that manner. 1 I f I 1
Btirilick, Sneaker of House,
j Declares State on. Road to
- Proper legislation v
"When anyone wants to start
an 'ism they usually pick 5 on
Oregon." declared Denton G. Bur
dick ot Klamath Falls, speaker of
tte house of representatives, in an
address before ' the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday.
"Taxpayer and industry hare
paid the penalty and will continue
to do so until the' freak legislation
la done away with and the confi
dence of the' business world
resorted." he said. "Oregon is
coming into her own at 'the pres
ent time and an era of wonderful
development is "being ushered In.
The competition with' older and
more, highly " developed states is
coming to an end." ; -
"The freak laws of Oregon
have the result of further retard
ing the -development of the state,
rather than attracting more capi
tal and developing 'the communi
ties toward an equal 'footing with
other states." ' .; V f j 7 j
There will be an attempt made
during the present legislature to
prevent the passage of additional
freak legislation and. efforts will
be made Co restore the lost confi
dence of ;. the people of other
state's, Mr. Burdick said, j ' '
' The speaker cited Florida as a
state that had passed legislation,
which made It impossible for ah
income or. an inheritance tax be
ing imposed in that' state for the
next "25 years. As a direct 'result
money began .to pour into that
state, and. conditions -were changed
:11 within ; a few months. Ii
proved to be'a 'bigger thing than
the oil rushes of some of the mid
dle west states. The speaker ad
vocated , such a plan for Oregon
and stated that the same results
would 'be felt here. . J f
"The "state must , do something
to get "settlers - here, -efforts must
be made to have the situations at
tractive here or else the settlers
will 'not come. Protection must
be offered the businesses j and
monies that come 'into the com
munity," was the closing remark
of the speaker. ) j,-J ' .
A. S. Dudley, manager of the
Oregdn State ; Chamber of Com
merce added "remarks that! sup
ported the statements made by
the main speaker. V J j
The influx of tourists that1 is to
be with Oregon next summer must
be cared for and a definite pro
gram established, he said.-1
J. S. Tate, head of the Oregon
Retail Merchants "association was
another speaker and he stated
that a few freakish laws would
undo much gocd that had been ac
complished in the .past. ' ! ' j
Tom Kay, state treasurer, stated
that he was not in favor of the
income tax that Oregon 'has lust
repealed, but that he was wholly

Mass of Detail Considered
By City Fathers at Their
Regular Meeting
Swift Seals Declared
Ideal for Live Saving
' -i I . '
HAMBUnO, Jan. 17r The aun
tanned life saver at summer re
sorts may be put out of business
by the trained jsea lion, accordihg
to predictions ? made by Captain
Hans Winston, a local animal
trainer.;- ' 1 t : '- 'Hi 'lm
Captain Winston contends that
he has a seal which could save
half a dozen persons In rough wa
ter while the ordinary human life
saver was wrestling with a single
Individual. The sea lion trained
to save lives has been taught to
grab men by the back of the neck
in the water and swim with them
tp safety without injury 'from ibis
jaws. .
A mass of detail was ground out
by the council at its meeting ; fast
night. Two petitions were grant
ed to erect rilling Stations at 2025
Fairgrounds road and at Mission
and South Liberty. Petitions ' for
the installation of a sewer on the
street leading to the properties of
(he new flax j mill to .be erected
soon 'was considered. It is neces
sary that the; land be drained be
fore the erection of the building
and the installation of the ma
chinery can take place.
South Salem residents desire a
regular patrolman for their part
of the city, according to a petition
read before the "meeting. Others
ask for the placing of a sewer in
the Idlewies district and a pave
ment on University.
A total of 39 applications; for
licenses to conduct hotels, rooming
and; apartment houses for 1925
have been made. Permits to sell
soft drinks were granted to
Saar, 181 South Liberty; D. O.
Lear, 720 Df Butler & Allbright
and R. Hons.! A permit to operate
a poolroom was granted to Butler
Sc. Allbright. I
After its "second appearance be
fore the -citycouncil the franchise
to the Capital Ice & Cold Storage
company to place a spur track on
Trade street was granted. At the
last meeting; the same franchise
was acted upon, but was vetoed by
Mayor Giesyj because of a lack of
description of.' the property.
Permission was granted the Sa
lem street railways to route: the
new busses over a temporary route
'while the pavement was repaired
on D street, j Since the cold wea
ther the street has been badly
damaged by jsome of the heavy
traffic that j has passed over it.
The railway company claims !that
they cannot operate their busses
over such a roadway, because of
the wear on the busses. The new
routings add about one-half mile
additional travel to each bus j and
accommodates a few additional pa
trons of the line. The busses will
not travel on D between Sixteenth
and Capitol. " j
'Damon Fle'ener was sworn in as
councilman last night and his: first
official act was to vote on the
franchise to the Capital Ice &
Cold Storage; plant. i
Carl Bahlberg seeks to purchase
lots from the city of Salem in Oaks
addition.: A deed was authorized
from the city to H. H. Wohmnich
for property in Oaks addition.
The opening up of a new city
territory, made possible by action
of the city council, was one bit of
business. The -vacating of Leslie
street between Commercial and the
slough is desired. f

board has decided "that there are
certain beats and certain Jobs that
only sturdy womenl can hahdle

cerning trim haircuts. They do
howev.er, have'to .report at certain
times for drill and Inspection, and
their buttons and j, shoes 'are ex

The women wear uniforms de

There are- no regulations prohibit

Magwood, Indian War areteran
with 10- years active service, when
he received his official notification
a few days ago that he had been
placed on the pension roll. Short
ly after New; Yearns Mr. Magwood
noted his good luck In a news dis
patch, but when " he. opened the
letter ho found a check for $1816,
covering the time s since the pen
sion act first took effect in 1917.
Mr. Magwood applied about six
months" ago, and expected if grant
ed the pensfbn-would apply from
that date. ; It Is no exaggeration
to say that he is the happiest man
