The Growth of The Prudential. Tho prosperity and progress of tho great insurance organizations such as The Prudential, to whose care is com mitted such a large share of the nation's savings, is a matter of flnanclul Interest tomany millions of tho peoplo. As this Company alone has nearly (1,000,000 policies in force, covering lifo insurance exceeding one billion dollars, It can be seen how tho tide ot public confidence has flowed In increasing volume towards this institution. Tho Annual Statement of the Com pany, just published, brings out some Interesting facts. It shows that the life insurance issued and paid for during the year 11)04 exceeded $312,000, 000, being tho largest In tho history of the Company ; $13,000,000 was paid to Its policy holders, bringing tho total since organization to an amount ex ceeding $92,000,000. It Is certainly impossible to estimate tbe amount of good which tho distribu tion of this vast sum of money has ac complished for tho American peoplo who have been Its recipients. The Company has at different times mado changes and concessions In Its policies, which resulted In giving ad ditional benefits to ' those Insured. Wherever practicable these concessions are mado retroactive ; and up to tho present time the Company has dis tributed, In cash dividends and other concessions, not stipulated In original contracts, and voluntarily glvon to holders of old policies, over five million dollars. Tbe financial 6ide of tbe statement shows equal progress. The assets of Tho Prudential were increased by $16,000,000, and tho analysis of those assots, as given in tbe statement, shows them to be of tho highoBt possible character. It is shown, for Instance, that tho bonds and stocks ownod by tho Company have Increased In value since their purchaso by over $1,400,000, and that amplo security is afforded by prop erties and collateral- securities upon which tho loans of tho Company have beon mado. The total assets of The Prudontial now exceed over $88,000,000; the liabilities aro $75,000,000, leaving a surplus of $13,000,000. The Company will furnish any in-' formation concorning its policies to those wbo write to tho Home Office, Newark, N. J. Charged with Disorderly House.

A Word on Equalization of Taxes. I have heard considerable talk about railroad companies and other corpora tions not paying their equal amount of taxes with the common property owner, but that la nothing. In Winslow town ship no two men pay taxes alike. Here is a sample of it : One coal miner is as sessed with $05,00 of an occupation tax and his neighbor Is assessed with $75.00 occupation tax. Men that are too old to do any work at all are assessed with occupation tax any whore from $75.00 to $150.00. One man has seyen horses and he Is assessed $150.00; another man has two horses and he Is assessed $240.00. Incidents of this kind in our last assess ment are too numerous to mention. Is there no way to remedy such un equal assessments? I think it is high time this matter Is looked into. If an assessor has no more judgment than this It is time that he be stricken off the political list for office. Dear Assessor you may think I am a kicker, but I am only tho follow that had his horses assessed too high. Yours Very Truly. Letter Lint.
