lIarly carofiIl mana cement tbis nrogramne of n
radical new departure in the conduct OF life in
surancc Is entitled both TO resIeoL because of its
source and 10 candid examination because of ia
Important and far-reaching results, IL Is nothing
less than n decision the mart of this second
largest life company in the country to base lis re-
serves Ina reynrds future contracisS non the as.
SUMPTION of per cent interest' instead Of or az
per cent as tile other Amprcan comnanies now
assume tlnder the legal proyislons of the several
States. The existing contracts Of the Connecticut
Mutual are based upon 1 per cent. rate of inter-
est Some OF these have bcrn running over thirty.
five years and thousands of them must so run Tor
many years to come. But now there hGs come a
change which opens before the minds OF cons, rya.

low rates of interest: and the maneets Of this ali.
ways conservative Company after due oonsidera-
tion of the grayameu OF the situation stcp boldly
out of line and take tho bull by the horns They
intend 10 be on the safe side Whatever may hap-
pen.
This Is no mere managerial trick or trap of the
new plan" order, but Il is the most serious and
far-reaching step ever taken by an American life
company. Il means, moreover, tho making OF life
insurance so absolutely safe that no question can
be raised; and this, too, without making IL SO
costly as 10 be out Of anybody's reach II is con-
seryatism of radical type, five may 80 say-a
purely progressive manageral move which, even
though Il be nota necessity must carry conviction
of its soundness and lis honesty Of purpose Opin-
Ions may differ as TO what the rate OF Interest is
to be in the future say forty or flty years hence
