We invite careful attention to this con-
densed but very instructive summary Of
hloits at a glance not only the magnitude
OF the good work which has been don0
throughout all those years. but also the
proof of what desire TO impress upon
the public as our unimpeachable claim to it's
confidence: that we give our policyholders'
families the most protection at the lowest
from our policyholders. we have already
returned to them In the several ways above
noted. $lSS, 79l ,55740 and now hold as the
abundant protection to their present con-
tracts, SOP SIS. IS: total returned to them
CT now held for them, of $252.SS0. 21S.3S. or
INN per cent OF what has been received
from them. This has been done at an aver
age expense ratio of only S.S4 per cent.
In these supreme tests of accomplishment
the Connecticut Mutual stands alone And
in what 1t has done, and is doing. these in
comparable benefits have not been. and are
other class. They have been and are for
all alike. We have not persuaded men to
put at hazard the protection of their fam
lilies, nor to leave their yearly overpayments
(aecruing dividendsl with us at the like
hazard of loss, in the hope that they may
by living long and holding OH catch some
part of what less fortunate men and less
fortunate families may lose by forfeiture.
We have no schemes for despoiling some Of
our members for the benefit of others. We
definitely secure to each family all the pro-
lection its prudent unseltish head pays for:
we require him to pay year by year only
what it actually costs for the year; and
we have made that cost lower than has
been done by any other company.
What more perfect work. to what more
perfect end, can be done?
Respectfully submitted

The Taxation of Life Insurance.


Among the most threatening features of
our political life to-day is the disposition
of those concerned in various enterprises
TO turn to the State for aid, and also the
disposition of legislators to grant such aid
either to win popularity or to avoid unpopL-
larity States have no income except from
taxes. What they give to one has to be
first taken from others by taxation. They
have nothing of their own 10 give. In or
der TO indulge this free-handed response to
growing demands, taxation must be in
creased. But increased taxation of the
voter endangers the political aspirations Of
those responsible for the increase. So to
crafty their constituents who want State
aid for some project, and ut the same time
not TO offend their constituents who are
voters, legislators are put undeR strons,
temptation TO tax somebody who doesn I
vote for the benefit of those who do. At
tention Is at once directed TO corporations.
which are only 'soulless" personalities.
whose funds are ln plain sight and easy TO
reach, and against which 1t is easy to ex-
cite such prejudice rs 70 make many people
blind TO all questions of justice or propriety.

things about such reformars IS
PettigreW IS that they never give
up the hope Of reforming their
party until the party sets them

they have spent the better part

While the whole country has
been worked up to the fighting
pitch, and expecting that either
i declaration OF war would be
made or some overt act commit
| ted that would mean war, the
week has passed by without hos
Itilities having been started be-
tween Spain and the United
States. The pivot on which the
Iquestion has been hans ging is the
forthcoming message Of the
president, which was to aaye
been sent to Congress- Tuesday
but which has been delayed from
day to day. The message it is
i believed will place the whole
matter in the hands Of Congress,
and unless the president should
make recommendations, backed
by sufficient reasons that a peac
able solution of the Cuban ques
ton can be attained, in the pres
ent temper Of Congress action
would be Immediately taken tha'
would mean war. Two reasons
are put forth for the delay Of thf
Ipresident in sending his
message to Congress, one i
that it is in order to. secure
time for the Americans at Ha
vana to get away from tn
island, as there are grave fear
that the opening of hostilitie
would result in q massacre Q
Americans. The other reason i
that the Spanish government i
said to be weakening, and i

ment in the evacuation Of Cubt
