...Associated Press states that the plan calls for the collection from Germany of progressively mounting sums over a five-year period. The plan fixes an annual minimum (amount unspecified) and provides means for its collection from: 1) Excise taxes on monopolies, such as matches, spirits, tobacco. There is to be no Allied supervision of collection of these taxes. Evidently it is felt that the Germans cannot ignore the easiest method of taxation that lies at any Government's hand.

Through a misunderstanding with the Insurance Company $121 was stated as the amount due on a minimum policy of $250 if the premiums were paid in a lump sum. The correct amount for a lump sum premium payment, on a $250 policy is $145.13, or a saving of $106.87 in 25 years...

Atmosphere is generally excellent, being obviously hand-made only in the girl's name-Noorma-Hal, fashioned from the cable address...

By the special rate he can pay $121 in the first year-and then forget about the policy altogether. The Insurance Company can then invest the lump sum right away. The earning power of these lump payments will make up for the loss in premiums, and it is expected that the dividends will be at least as much as with the yearly payments, which will probably continue to be popular...
