THE E X O R B ITA N T INSURANCE T A X A T IO N Insurance company investments in Oregon increased from $59,964,580 in 1922, to $76,759,300 in 1924. The total receipts o f the state insur ance department. $316,793 in 1921, were $634,181 in 1924. The cost of administration was $28,585 in 1921 and $28,747 in 1924. Insurance con panies pay taxes the same as any other property hold ings. But it is difficult to defend the additional tax o f more than 20 times the cost o f state insurance su pervision, assessed against insurance policies. This tax necessarily re- quiresquires excessive policy rates. Why shou'd insurance companies pay a special tax equal to twenty times the cost o f operating a state insur ance department for the support of which such special tax is levied. This policy is followed in many states, not because it is right or just, but because it is an easy way to get the money, and the general public does not know that in addition to all other taxes it is being “ soaked” this additional sum as a tax on insurance policies. ed very well and many important things were learned.
