NEW YORK. Nov. 18.-President
Wilson's reassuring statement to the
secretary of the treasury in connec
tion with thc Inauguration -of the new
federal banking nystem was the main
topic of discussion in financial cir
cles today. Taken In conjunction with
the completion of the cotton pool, it
was hailed as an augury of better
ment in other conditions.
One more step toward the resto
ration of normal financial conditons
was recorded during the day, when
the committee of hankers and bond
lealers organized to supervise deal
ings in unlisted bonds and unlisted
guaranteed stucke, announced its re
tirement. There was another confer
ence between leading hanking Inter
ests and authorities of thc stock ex
:hungc relative to the udvisiballty of
tn early reopening of that institution
.it the. result was once more incon
clusive.
iuuuBlriai conditions offered great
er promise, according to authoritative
trade advices. Copper scored another
fractional advance and purchases of
pig iron have increased materially.
Huying of ilni8hcd steel and iron this
month was considerably in excess of
the corresponding period last month.
Incidentally, some of the larger rali
way systems came Into the market
for new equipment.
Exchange on i.ondou was a trifle
onsicr, with little demand. Business
for Paris and B erlin was the smal
lest In some weeks. All contenintal
rates wer ehigher. The Imperial Bunk
of Germany ngain showed an increase
of gold holdings, with a very large
expansion of discounts.
The more detailed statement of the
country's exports for October disclos
ed the fact that shipments of bread
stuffs for that month were almost
three times as large as in thc same
month in 1913.

CITE ALABAMA DECISION FOR
AN EXAMPLE
QUESTION OF TAX
Another State Has Ruled That Of
ficials Have no Right to Tax
. Paid-Up Policies.
Following the announcement made
Monday to tho effect that the State
Insurance Commissioner will recom
mend to the next General Assembly of i
South Carolina that all paid-up life j
Insurance premiums be taxed in this '
State, insurance writers of Anderson
have bee nlndulging in much discus
sion of the question. The general op
inion seems to he that the policies
cannot be taxed and the insurance
men are citing as an example the de
cision of the courts of Alabama, in
which thia was the ruling. The fol
lowing from the Life Number of In
surance Field, dealing with this sub
ject, will be read with interest by
insurance men of Anderson and poli
cy holdoia S3 well:
"Besides tho Immediate benefit to
j the people of Alabama of the ruling ot
the Alabama Tax Commission that
cash surrender values of life policies
are not taxable, thc helston carries
with it a result of much importance
to the life insurance business as a
whole.
"Ix j ttiv.ui ney geiltMtil UT IMIUI
Pennsylvania, Nebraska and Minne
sota have held that under the statutes
of their respective states surrender
values are not. taxable, while there is
a simillar decision by the Supreme
Court of Indiana. Each of these de
cisions marks the result.of an effort
on the part of a state, through Inter
pretation ot existing statutes, to in
crease its. income at the expense of
prudent policyholder.?, and doubtless
?attempts to levy such taxes on the
part of other states will occur from
I time to time.
When Considered a Credit.
Alfred Hurrel, attorney for the as
sociation of life Insurance presidents,
in his brief filed with the Alabama
Tax Commission against the tax laid
stress upon the fact that the cash sur
render value In and of itself becomes
a credit only when the policyholder
surrenders his policy and elects, from
the options open to him, to receive the
cash in settlement. He said that such
taxation would curtail business and
cause lapse and cancellation of pin
elea He stated that the amount of
life Insurance outstanding In a state
has a direct relation to the burdens
ot government therein, aa the greater
the amount of such insuranc tehere ls
tn force, the less the public will be
called upon to render assistance to
I destitute women and children.
Again Mr. ll tirrell pointed out that
U should be understood that the pre
miums a policyholder pays to a com
pany are not legally akin to deposita
Iq, a savings bank; ho cannot receive
thom or a portion of them back at any
time he wills, without himself giving
up a valuable consideration for the
money he gets back; they are, In the
strictly legal sense, merely the con
sidemtlon he pays for th protection
given by the policy.
Difficulty la Assessing.
Even on a cancellation of the policy
the company does not necessarily- owe
the money to the policyholder so
to mske him the owner of a credit as
ho may exercise his right to elect one
of the other tao options. 1. e.. aa to
paid-up or extended lncurance.
As to thn^fnf#ipn which would
arise In the Assessment of the cash
surrender values of life policies Mr.
Harrell declared that some policies
have a definite beneficiary designated
without the power of revocation being
rouryorl tn th lnatire.il. Srima neva
beneficiary" named but with the. power
of revocation reserved. Some hun to
the estate of the Insured. Aa to
last clasa, t: t, would probably pi
sent no ?reta difficulty but, he ask*,
to whom would the policies be as
sessed in which a beneficiary was
named- to the insured who waa _
lng the premiums, or to the ben
dary who was not? If the ben '
arv's right is vested, then whatever
might be due on a policy either aa

lue would be due the beneficiary and
pot the Insured,k and should not be
aasessed to the lowed. Ic those poli
cies where the right of .revocation
la reserved, until the bneneiary la
changed, abe ls the one entitled to

the policy. To assess th* press?t value
