the Journal repeats the misstate

"So far at the voter la concerned,

In contradiction of the Journal's
statements and bearing directly on
the tax-paying qualification, la this:

great many of them do) tends

The Empire Life still leads and by a greater margin than ever before, and wrote practically
double the amount of business written by its nearest Southern competitor. The Empire Life
does not write Board Contracts or use any E cock Scheme to get ^business, and the business is
high-class and permanent, as the report snows. Of the business in force, less than 5 per cent is
on a Term basis.
