A board of insurance commissioners. COM

caso on Thursday to examine into the affairs
of the Covenant Mutual Life company. of
Galesburg III. Insurance Commissioner
Dearth returned yesterday and stated that the
commission all signed report which says
that the experience of this company empha-
sizes the fallacy Of the theory that new b.ood
added to assessment associations will take
care of the increasing death losses among
older members.
For twenty-one years the policy holders had
been getting very cheap insurance, caused by
a small death rate. and CUTE surplus
had accrued to the credit Of the company
When several years ago this surplus was ex-
hausted and the death rate materially in
creased, the policy holders made a protest
against paying the increased assessments. The
investigation was ordered, which resulted in
the commission finding that the affairs OF the
company had been honestly managed. yet
the commission severely condemned the pol
icy of the company in making assessments
during the first years Of its existence.
