Blackburn of Omaha, Neb., secretary end counsel cf the American Lif? Convention. "We have,v" said ; Mr. Blackburt:,, "as many as 57 varieties of ta.v methods in the 48 spates, two terri tories and District of Columbia, and it is obvious that there is no thing scientific i:bout any single cne of the varieties unices it be scientific to "get wherever the getting is good." If this method of cooperation ware pursued.. Mr. Blackburn pointed out, net only could "unjust and unreas onable laws" new in force affecting policyholders' interests be elimini nated, but a plan of taxing the com panies ecukl be formulated w'hicii should prove satisfactory 'both to the states and the insurance oirgainizc , tions. Mr. Blackburn described some of he taxes as arbiti-ary, seme as in equitable and others as unconscion able and declared: "Our ibusjness 4s taxed in move ways and fcr more purposes and with unique ingrnuity than any other form f commercial endeavor in America. Life insurpnc3 companies are forced to pay in the state?, taken by an arge as the college professor angm -ay, i'.icome taxes based upon arbi trary. methods 0f calculating income originally devised either by his s-;-Vsnic majesty or the treasury de--artmsnt at Washington; premiu taj.jis likewise arbitrary raid mos inequitable, but easily computed' corporate taxes varying in form from direct levies en capital to fiat li cense fees ami special percentages based upon the well-known railroad r.te principle of collecting what the traffic will bear; franchise taxes le vied upon ths intangible right of as sociation for a specific purpose; and issc-t taxes, ignoring the trustee prin ciple ucn which the assets are cs sembled hnd held." To tr.ii list Mr. Blackburn added numerous other methods of collecting fees by insuvar.ee commissioners of -tate ar.'l city agents. "Instead of fighting taxes, let u? ioin hands witlr the legislators and departmsnts and see if we can not nrrive at a basis which will relieve the companies of the present inequal ities and at the same time produce reasonable revenues ito the several states." IMr. Blackburn added. "As an alternative let us consent to a 9,-ro-ss preimium percentage tax in lieu '.-f all other tas, except personalty and real estate." dy the Associated Press. , London Dec. 10.
