HOLD TAXES USED AS CENERAL FUND C. of C. Survey Contends In- surance Money Was So Spent in 1928. By the Associated Press. ‘The contention that 23 out of every | 24 dollars collected in special State in- surance taxes during 1928 were used for general revenue purposes for which the policy holder already had been taxed as a citizen was raised today in a state- ment by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The statement said that a survey made by its insurance department showed that nearly $100,000,000 was collected from policy holders in 1928. Reporting “an enormous growth” in aggregate sums paid for insurance pro- tection and in total amounts of special | insurance taxes collected by States, the statement sald that “in light of the fact that insurance premiums taxes are on percentage bases and are usually outstanding among the different types of special State insurance taxes, such tax increases follow as a natural con- sequence unless marked reductions in the tax rate are effected by legislative action.” Special State insurance taxes for the year ending June 30, 1929, it $10 Delivers .

The remainder, amounting to 95.71 cents of every dol- lar of tax, was used for general revenue purposes.” POST COMPLETES PLANS FOR MEMBERSHIP DRIVE | Charles H. Knight Addresses Sergt.
