PAY BOOST BILL CONSIDERED JOKE Measure Slap at Governor and Attorney General.. i A salary boost bill for State officials, which even its author, Senator Russell B. Harrison (Rep.), Indianapolis, seems not to have taken seriously, was introduced in the Senate Thursday afternoon. The bill takes a direct rap at Governor Jackson and Attorney General Arthur L. Cilliom. It would provide salaries as follow: Governor, $10,500; secretary of State, $9,000; auditor, $10,000; treasurer, $10,000; Supreme and Appellate Conrt clerks and reporters, $7,500; superintendent of Public Instruction, $7,500, and Governor's secretary, $5,000. The salary raise for the Governor is not to become effective while Jackson is in office. No such provision is made regarding other officials. Levity is introduced in a paragraph giving the attorney general the choice of three salary plans: $6 a day (legislator’s salary fixed by Gilliom),

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY DARWIN P. KINGSLEY . President A Mutual Organization—Founded in 1845 Incorporated under the Law* of New York 34 6 B_ ROAD WA Y, NEW YORK, NY.

To the Policy-holders: x x . . You, the members of the New York Life Insurance Company, owned 2,220,784 policies at the close of business on December 31,1926. # You are a vast community of people representing every honest walk in lile —farmers, bankers, tradesmen, merchants, laborers, manufacturers, employers and employees, and professional men and women —young and old—all banded together in a common enterprise for the common good. ‘ ' * _ _ . , ... If you and your families could be brought together, you would populate one of the largest cities in th^fworld. What a city it would be, with every family striving to safeguard its own future through a single co-operative institution for insurance and savings!

A Prosperous Year In 1926, this Company, which you own, wrote another chapter of progress: New insurance over 900 Million Dollars. Total insurance in force over /■■■ 5% Billion Dollars. Paid to members and^ beneficiaries over * m t 133 Million Dollar,i. including over Millions in OO Dividends. You, the policy-holders, have accumulated assets of more than Billion Dollars. This money plus your future deposits and compound interest will eventually provide for payment of the Company \s obligations to you and your beneficiaries. We believe wc are one of the companies Hon. Charles Evans Hughes had in mind when he recently said: “I like to think of the spirit of life insurance, for it is she spirit of achievement.”

Nylic Is Your Investing Agent The fund of more than I*4 Billion Dollars is invested in accordance with the strict requirements of £ie laws of the State of New York; and it plays a substantial part in the development of the nation’s farms, homes, railroads and public works. As policy-holders, you practise thrift. You invest soundly and safely. Yonr money will be available to you and your dependents, impressed with emer-gency-power, at a time when it will be needed most. That is what Mr. Hughes meant when he said, in the address to which I have just referred, that a life insurance policy was the best guardian of the purse that had ever been discovered. Small Average Policy Your total insurance is impressive; but if you divide it by 2,220,784; the number of policies, you will find that the size of the average policy is only $2,590. Os course, some members have more than- one policy; and many of you are also insured in other companies. But/ the great majority are UNDERINSURED, as you will see.

MOVIE DIRECTOR SHOT Chief of Hoot Gibson Pictures Wounded—Wife, Three Others Held. Du United Press LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 25. Lynn F. Reynolds, 35, director of Hoot Gibson Pictures, was in a critical condition today from a gunshot wound, and his second wife and three other persons were held by police for questioning. The shooting followed a mysterious disturbance at the Reynolds apartment at a Hollywood hotel shortly before midnight. W. H. White, one of three guests held by police, said Reynolds shot himself. A nervous breakdown, resulting from strain recently when a film company of fifty persons under his direction was snowbound in the Sierras near Mammoth, caused the attempted suicide, White said.

Roundup of % a liquor ring in Indiana that “will open up the eyes of the public” is forecast for the near future by GeOrge L < Winkler, deputy prohibition administrator, after a statement made Thursday by Ethan A. Miles, Anti-Saloon League attorney, that Federal prohibition agents are working on a "big job” this week. Miles spoke before twenty-four In' diana dry agents at a meeting In Federal Court- at which Attorney General L. Gilliom, Sheriff Omer Hawkins, United States Attorney Albert S.

How Much Insurance is Needed? The answers to the following questions will enable you to measure your insurance needs: What is the minimum income you will require in your old age, or if you become totally and permanently disabled; and what is the smallest annual income your family could manage on if you were taken away? Is it SSOO a year, or SI,OOO, $2,000, $5,000, SIO,OOO, or more ? How much will it require to settle your estate — to pay your debts, mortgages, and taxes, including the federal and state inheritance.taxe 5? How much cash will be needed at your'death, or the death of your partner or an official of your company, to stabilize credit or to enable surviving partners or stockholders to acquire the deceased associate’s interest in the business and carry on? \ Your Program You probably have a program, because you are insured; but how does your program stand today? How far short is it of the safety mark or the mark you are aiming at ? May I suggest that you figure it out for yourself, or call in one of our Agents to help you work out a plan suited to your heeds, so that you may feel secure as to your own and your family’s future.

Cash Value of Life Fire insurance and life insurance protect values. The value of a worker’s life is the cash worth of his future net earnings, usually far greater thdn the value of his property. The following points may help you to estimate the monetary value of your life. The United States Government fixed SIO,OOO as the insurable life-value of American soldiers and sailors in Hie Great War, mostly young unmarried men who had been earning small incomes or none at all. according to the New York Times, the American Statistical Association declared that the money value of the average American life (including children and adults who earn no income) is $17,500! As an incomeearner, the value of your life is much greater. Consider the capital required to produce income from interest. At 5%, it takes $24,000 to yield $1,200 a year—sloo a month. ‘
