The defeat OF Mr.. Fuiler's railroad bill III the
Illinois Senate on Tuesday, and the virtual Ia
bling of Mr.. Haribut's anti monopoly resoiu-
lions in the House, show that the Legislature Is
in complete possession Of the noiopoiis's- lac
fierce anti-m laopoiy dem ,nstrations at the
commencement of the session were evidently
rusc to enhance the price of the surrender. 10
hare imagined a, any time that body compos-
ed mainly of fifth rate lawyers and precinct po-
li.ic;ans. not one in five of whom on his own ie-
citirnate pay and private means would be aoie
TO leave Springfield out of debt, could for shy
LENGTH of time hold out against combination
representing $500 900 eJ0 OF capital, was indeed
the height OF absurdity.

~ IT'S A REMARKABLE FACT
that the mortality experienced
on large policies Of life assurance
is less than on small ones. The
average amount of each policy
issued by the Equitable Life AS
surance Society in 1866. was
S4.15O, while the percentage OF
losses was but 1920. An aver
age policy of the Mutual Life for
the same period was s3.5O4 !;
percentage of loss 1894. Wash
ington, 81, 400; loss 1914. Ger
mania, $500; loss 1926. Uni
ted States, s2,393; loss 22,27s
All these are cash companies !;
and the rates Of some sixteen
note companies exhibit a similar
commentary, showing greater
mortality on small than on large
policies. The cause is attributed
to the fact that the Weather
classes. who are able to assure
for the largest amounts, enjoy
those constant comforts and SAM
tary privileges, and lead that
regular course of life which 50
mat erially promotes longevity
The Equitable Life Assurance
Society issues policies on single
life mo to the amount of $4,000.
