of the tonuecticut Mutual and the
Phoenix Mutual Life lusuntttcc cont2
parties. and the only specter at the
'. hearing who believed that the compan-
ipunics were not being oppressed was
EB. Frank March. the moon's deputy
. treasurer.
"Connecticut needs the noney bud-
ly,” said Mr: Marsh, "and it is net op-
pressive to tax a business proposition.
People get insured as an a t of busi-
ness and not of witlment. 1But it is a
mistake that no counsel has been
asked to appear for the stat e in these
hearings on taxation of co notations.
The hearings have been allies name—-
on one side only, and the state has
not been represented."
“Well," interrupted Mr. ‘ Robinson,
"you have your attorney g neral."
“Yes," answered Mr. M rah, “we
have. but he isn‘t here. it ought to
be here. But he hasn't on e to one
hearing yet.‘

resented that organisation: All of

'Mr. Robinson gave the main arso-
ments for the insurance interests.

the tax is therefore one of a peculiar
degree on thrift and prudence. ln
virtues." .. .
“What possiblechange of basis'for
the tax would you suggest?" asked
Tax Commissioner Corbin.
“A premium basis,” answered Mr.
Robinson. “would not yield enough
revenue to the state, and, anyway, it.
would be mighty hard to get the
favor of the assembly to such a basis.
I believe a gradual reduction from
1,1; of 1 per cent. to 1-8 of 1 per cent.
on the assets. the reduction to take
pint-c within a period of five years,
would bring in sufficient 'revenne to
the state and at the some time in-
crease the size of the funds by de-
creasing the handicap under which.
the companies work. Why. even Wis-
consin, with all her wild notions on
corporate wealth, cannot equal Com
necticut in pressing mutual life in-
surance'compnnies‘.’
President John M. Taylor spoke of
the efforts that had been made by
th'e inanrunce interests to get uniform
legislation on the subject. He gave
some interesting statistics. "In the
thirty years that the present not has
been enforced." he said, “the Con-
necticut. .\lutual has paid $6,920,000
to the state in taxes since its organi-
zutlon in 1816 it has paid $14 413. 300.
The total dividends since I846 have
therefore amounted to 19:2 per cent.
of the dividends the policy-holders
have received. last year the tax paid 1
amounted to 10:38 per cent. of the ,
dividends paid the policy-solders. You i
can thus see how much the tax has ‘1
hurt our. policy-holders. And you can
deduce how it was hurt our bush
ness."
Mr. Welch backed 11p his predecea-
sors‘ remarks in a short talk. He
stated that Connecticut‘s rate is twice
that of New York's. as far as the row
cone is concerned, and that it was ‘
also much more than that of Massa-
chusetts. “it is wrong that Connec-
ticut of all states, the home of insur-
ance should hold ' to this extreme
theory of taxation," iald Mr. Weich.
The insurance interests promised.
the commission to study the matter
further, submit other arguments, and
possibly offer other suggestions for a
change in the method.
in the morning, the commission
beard representatives of mutual insur-
ance companies other than mutual
life insurance‘companles. The trend
of this part of the hearing seemed to
be that the conflianies are satisfied
with the present rate of taxation, but,
did not want it raised. Deputy State
Treasurer Marsh put in a word for
the state, asking that the rate be rall-
ed because of the prosperity of the
icompanies and the needs of the state.
