In other words, if he found that his tax com- puted on a tonnage basis were le than that levied under the uniform 1% assessment to which other tax- payers were subject, he could elect to follow the tonnage formula. The | present measure proposes to reduce by 50% his tax liability under the tonnage method of computation.

YOUR LIFE INSURANCE Most_fathers whose children are young. have a special prob- lem. This is clearly seen if we compare the situation of a father whose youngest child is, say, under 10 years of age with another whose children are grown. As a rule, the father of a 5- year-old needs more life insur- ance until the child has com- pleted his education than would be needed thereafter. But he may feel that the additional amount of protection is more than he can afford on a regu- lar Life or Endowment plan of insurance. Moreover, he realizes that the protection for his growing family should be in the form of a fixed monthly income for living expenses, so that his wife will know what she will have to spend each month.
