Kingsley Says One Income Tai
Provision Is Vague.
Darwin P. Klng?ley, rresident of the
nvw York Life Insurance Company, said
yeoterdsy of the Inome tax provisions of
the tariff Mil:
"Under the income tax about to i ?
?eted ufe insurance compa??a? I meas
rosponaiblc life insurance compaaiea a-e

the reason that they pa} no dividend to

atembara of Congr? s ;-<?? thai every rea?
son why these orders should be exempt
was a reason why life Insurance done ir?
responsible mutual institutions should
also be exempt Mutual Are Insurance
ctmpanlea are also exempt, on the theory.
I presume, that property Is more valusbl?
than human life.
"Outside of the usual exemptlona which
apply to all ?'Orporations. the particular
thing that life insurance gained In the last
hours of th< ?consideration of the bill is
expre.^ed In this language; 'Ufe insur?
ance companies ?hall not Include as in

actual premium re?.ci\cd fiom any indi?

paid back or credited to any tue h indi?

abatement of premium of such individual
pOltcyhoMcr, within such jtar.'
"There Is, however, another question on
ul.uh tio life Insurance man dwelt during
the fight fur further exemptions because.
epcaking for myself, it did not ae?m wlso
to confuse th? greater Issue by dlaessslsg
