This Is Insurance Week
ITS a rare week that can go by these days without having
some special celebration connected with it. There have been
music weeks, health weeks, navy weeks, home owners week, and
Made in Oregon weeks. Now it appears, we, are having a
national life insurance week, which started yesterday, and is
being duly observed over the air, through the press, and at vari
ous and sundry luncheon clubs.
Well the life insurance companies have earned a week for
self congratulation. They have
insurance in marked contrast
made an enviable record during
the past twelve months it has gone ahead by leaps and bounds.
In 1934 for example, new purchases of life insurance in
creased 10 over 10.33, or in round figures an increase of over
a billion and a quarter dollars!
.....
WE hear a great deal about how the government has been
spending money for relief since 1029. Yet during this
same period the people of this country, as beneficiarips of life
insurance have been paid more than II! billion, an average of
about $2,700,000,000 a year equal to about one-tenth of all
wages paid and several times greater than all federal relief
expenditures.
What does this mean! Well, in the first place, it means, the
people have had money to spend, for life insurance premiums
must be paid for in cash. It also means, there bus been an
absence of confidence in the usual forms of investment, and
increased confidence in the older and safer forms of investment,
among which insurance ranks high. In other words the depres
sion has helped life insurance.
In the third place it means, that in spite of all the weeping
and wailing and claims that conditions instead of getting better
are getting steadily worse, this country has not only turned
the corner, but has been slowly but surely improving in a busi
ness way for at least a year and a half and probably longer.
With $98,000,000,000 of life insurance in force and with pur
chases increasing at the rate of 10 a year, no other conclusion
is possible. The people can't spend such sums of money without
having it.
AND finally it means, that however convinced the profession
nl nrnnhnta nf nntinnnl rliunatnp ntn.r tin tliuf tlin t'minlpv !g
going to the demnition bow wows and nothing enn save it, the
man in the street the average citizen does not share this
pessimism, refuses to be stampeded by it, and retains his simple
faith in the stability of this country, and its ability to success
fully survive the perils that beset it.
Otherwise there would be
dollars into life insurance, for if
on the rocks, certainly the life
with it. No person convinced Bolshevism is near would put his
savings in a business, which Bolshevism would destroy.
CO the life insurance companies are entitled to a period of
celebration, during which they may point to their record
with prido and satisfaction. It is a fine record of achievement,
and it is a record, which the people of the country, are justified
in accepting aa certain evidence that not only is recovery well
on its way, but the foundations of recovery are being built
not upon the sands but upon the rock, of safe, sane and con
servative investment.
The Railroads
K YE verily the ruilroHtls are waking up. The Hip Van Winkle
mIoip of Kplf eomplneency, and idolenee, n certainly over.
No surer sirn could one wish than the startling ehange in
railroad publicity technique.
A friend in the Middle West lias sent us an example of what
the railroads are now doing in this direction.
For years newspapers have received canned dope from the
railroads press airents, given one glance at the first paragraph
and promptly consigned same to the waste basket. Old stuff,
railroad folder hooey, the same old applesauce. Tf the railroads
insist on that sort of junk let them pay for it.
But it is different this year. Newspapers in the Kast and
Middlewest are printing the railroad patter free gratis and who
can blame them. It is first class stuff. It is alive, fresh and
has a punch, listen to this for example, reproduced on the
editorial page of one of the best known dailies in the Mississippi
valley:
Mother bears are having their cub out in the Rocky moun
tain dena.
National park rangers are polishing up the glaciers.
Indian squaws are throwing their looms Into high, weaving
new blanket In ancient design.
Charming San Diego is beckoning to the world to visit her
world's fair.
Railroad shops are humming . . railroad train are shining..
Sign of spring 1
Signs of a western summer.
It will be a western summer, thla tar. Nature and the rail
roads nd improving buaineaa mw to that. Nature spent the
winter piling higher than ever the snow In the Rockte. Sierras
and Cascade snows that will keep the wooded uplands cool
and clean and enticing to the perspiring vice prratdent and the
vacationing Wellraley Junior while the cities stKle and reck.
The railroads saw to the rest
Ratea pared down to the bone this year, "til it'a almost
cheaper to travel than not. The railroads who conquered the
west, then peopled It. have subdivided It now and for a ticket
around 57, or 09 or 80 if you chooee the sleeper, you can ride
some 4.500 mile around the circle.
Meals extra, of course, If you muat eat; and berth additional,
If you can bear to sleep while glorious mountain lakes and rivers
and foreets glide pat your window.
And all the while the engineer does the steering, and you
know there'll be no wheeling of motor in the high altitude,
no chancing of tire on tortuou mountain road, and if there a

Le Oallienne, born In Liverpool,

dured the routine grind at an office
desk, but overnight abandoned It and
became the most prolific of poets.
Since that time he has written more
than 60 books besides voluminous
verse for magazines.
The legends have it he did not see
his talented American daughter, Eva
Le Oallienne. due to a separation
from his wife before she wa born,
until the actress was starring on
Broadway. One night he saw her

or If you are thirsty to drink a 150

skin or the map can be nourished,
beautified or improved by smearing
It with fancy creams. Plain soap and
water, for young okins, and plain oil
or standard cold cream such aa a
good pharmacist makes up after the
Pharmacopoeia formula for cold

They were talking of names that

Mrs. Atherton, for Instance. Incident

Three names almost invariably have
a corn starch air. Such as Howard

the Oklahoma publisher. And aa ma

platform atop In Kansas who launch
ed her commercial career selling po
sies in a cranny of a New York sky
scraper. Her assets were a small
bench of cheaply priced flowers,
spunk and a smile. Today she has a
well staffed establishment on an ex
clusive Park avenue corner with
shlney go-wagons shaped like tulips,
flower boxes and sprays of violets de
livering wares. AU through the de
pression she has prospered. I note
this because I pass her place often,
crossing town. And I have wondered
tf thla has something to do with her
success. Early or late whenever I
glance through her windows I never
fall to see her. And she la always
busy.

Comment
on the .
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
INTERESTING item from Rome:
"The war office tonight iasue-1
a decree offering a bonus and three
week furlough to any recruit In the
conscript cla of 1911 who wanted to
marry."
f
THE bonus amount to 500 lire,
which In rubber dollar of the
United State of America la equal to
$41. The furlough, which 1 a mill
tary term meaning leave of absence,
lasts three week.
So, if you are an Italian conscript
soldier, aged about 24. and are tired
of soldiering and want a break In
the monotony, all you have to do 1
to hold up your right hand and say
"I'm willing" and find yourself a
bride and go off for a three-weeks
honeymoon, with the government
paying all the expense providing
you can hold your expenses within
41.
--
OF course, a la usually the case,
there's a catch to it.
When you get back from your
honeymoon, you're pretty apt to be
shipped to Africa to fight the Aby
sinlans, nnd while you're away fight
ing your wife will be expected to pre
sent II Duce with a son and heir to
take your place If you should be ao
careless as get in the way of a bullet
and get killed, thus depriving Italy
of a soldier.
It take cannon fodder to run dic
tatorship with military ambitions.
A CONSIDERABLE number . of
crackpots In this country have
the idea, or at leat profess to have
It, that WE need a dictatorship.
The notion of thi more or leea old
fashioned and perhaps stlck-ln-the-mud
writer Is that we'd better leavo
things as they are, even though they
may be none too good since the dem
agogs have begun to get the upper
hand.
Honeymoons at government ex
pense look pretty good at first glance,
but somehow the cannon fodder Idea
that is back of them leave a bad
taste In American mouth.
STILL, we may be sneaking up on
the same idea from another
angle. Claude Ingalls, the erudite edi
tor of the Corvalll Gazette-Times
says in his paper:
"The birth rate In this country ts
the lowest since 1915 and were it not
for the 30 million on relief it would
be as low as the stock market. But
these on relief are said to be having
the largest families and Increasing
a fast as nature will permit."
Just how Claude knows all thla
can not here be stated with author
ity. He's postmaster of his town, as
well as editor, and it may be that
he counts the birth announcement.
Anyway, there it 1, and Claude is
usually able to defend his state
ments. DO you reckon the b,-ain trust,
which ha sprung lot of crazy
Old World Ideas on us In the past
couple of yeara under the grilse of a
new deal, has been bitten by the
cannon fodder bug and 1 putting
something over on us in the name of
relief?
One never can be quite sure what
the brain trusters really are aiming
at.

The foreign trade conflict between
Messrs. Hull and Peek is not yet over,
but soon may be.
The Peek report which was given
out at the White House a week ago
seems to be bringing the issue to a
cltmux If not a conclusion. The fast
that the president gave out the re
port caused insider to feel at first
that he approved It. This conclusion
seems to have been hasty. Apparently
Mr. Roosevelt gave it out after a
glance at Mr. Peek's summary, but
ha since received advices from Mr
Hull' friends. And they are going
around whispering charge that Peek
distorted commerce department trade
figures in order to discredit Hull'
foreign tmde policies.
As for Mr. Hull, his close associa
tes have noticed that he now tightens
his lips every time the name of Peek
t mentioned. From past experience,
they Judge that the real fight is
about to start. They are offering odds
of 3 to 1 on Hull, and some are
going so far as to predict Mr. Peek's
ultimate resignation.
The veteran progressive Senator
Norris, of Nebraska, lost a manu
script that he had marked In prep
aration for a speech. A clerk who was
looking for it asked the senator If he
wa sure he had not left It at home
when changing suits. Norris respond
ed:
"No. I'm sure about that, because
I've only got one suit."
Congressional leaders are so anx
ious to get away that they have been

Job ahead la going to be tedious and
distasteful.
Mr. Roosevelt will probably veto the
Idea. He has made no plans for the
summer beyond an Indefinite prom
ise to visit the San Diego exposition
It ha not been announced, but he
expected to make thi trip in July.
He cannot delay It.
The senate has lately been getting
nowhere more rapidly than usual It j
ha spent most of Its recent weeks In j
considering the anti-lynch bill, the j
Bankhead farm tenant bill and thi :
Cope land pure food bill, without get- I
ting to a vote on any of them. Days 1
were spent debating the measures,
yet they are now richt back where
they started. Only two big bill have
been passed in four months the re
lief bill and the bonus. This 1 some
thing of a record, even for thi most
deliberative of all deliberative
bodies.
