Infe Insurance.

The New York Spectator In recent
number called attention to the fact that
in the ounduennium ending with 1925 the
average outgo of twenty-eight life insur-
anco companies for death claims and ex-
penscs was 1922 30 on each thousand dollars
mean insurance in force, This rate Is
the lowest of any of the latest fourquin-
quenniums 1t indicates that the COM
pancs. by reason of their rapid strides in
Volume of business are experiencing n
decreasing death rate and also that the
expense ratio is now either stationary or
declining. The Spectator prints a table
showing the combined death and expense
rate per cent of vnaan insurance in force
for twenty-eight prominent life insurance
companies, as complied from the records
of the Insurance department of the State
of New York, for period of twenty
years, from 1879 to 1898 inclusive, giving
the figures for each year, and the aver
ages by five year periods and for the en-
tire twenty years. this shows that the
highest rate was experienced in 1872. a
year marked by the excessive competition
among life insurance companies. Since
that year there has been a decline, ae
shown by the figures Of 1898, of 0.29, which
likely to continue unless some epidemic
unfavorlble mortality experience swels
the death rate.
The Nation Life of Vermont, which is
the only Vermont company in the Specta-
tors table. makes an excellent showing
its combued death and expense rate
being less than the average and than mos
of the other companies, for every ycal
incc 1879. For the total period of twenty
years, the National Life's average death
and expen SO rate was 1.99-beirg 80 less
than the average of the twertY-eght
companies. which was 2S3--the average
combined death expense rate of most oi
tho lending companies ranging from IA
to 3.2j.
