gard the provisions relating to term insur-
ancc heretofore described, and that any
other construction breaks down completely
the legal standard of solvency which has
for so long been the accepted standard in
this country.
Much of the discussion of the question
is had without reference to the legal ques-
tons involved. While expediency will
doubtless be the test that will ultimately
put this matter to rest, the question now
under consideration is merely the inter-
probation of the statute existing in this
State.
The commissioners have interpreted this
statute as vcstins them with no discretion
and as fixing d standard which the depart
mcnt must fairly and honestly apply. If
the law is unsatisfactory let 1t be changed,
not by any judicial legislation of the COM
missioners, but by proper enactment of
the General Assembly. If the commission
crs Interpretation Of the law is unsatis-
factory resort may be had to the courts
for its correction, and such action will
meet with the hearty cooperation of the
commissioners, who fully realize their fall
libility while believing that their deter
miration Is the result of candid consdera-
ton and sound conclusions.
The question, as before stated, is one in
which eXpedicncy should be in the last
analysis the controlling test, and If a fair
consensus of actuarial opinion is to the eff
feet that the present method of reserve
computation is too severe, and that a
somewhat more liberal standard may be
adopted with safety, 1t will he only right
that such conclusion should be crystalized
In legislation which will sanction IT while
AZ the same time fixing reasonable limita-
tons. This, however, Is "A question en-
tirely distinct from the Interpretation of
the present law.
The question is OF sufficient importance
TO demand settlement, and the adjust
ment, to be in the most satisfactory form,
should be legislative rather than in the
courts and amcable rather than contro-
vcrsial; for a body of men of such high
Intellectual qualifications as the actuarie g
of this country should be able to settle
upon recommendations relating to reserve
requirements suited to present conditions;
and whatever those recommendations,
they should with such authority behind
them, ind ready incorporation into
statute law and furnish settlement of
the Vexed question at once definite aud
of 1ermanenCe.
The commissioners have intended to be
governed only by the Vermont law with
out reference or regard to the other
phases of the question As a matter of
sound policy it may or may not be wise 10
permit one year term insurance. These
md other aspects of the matter the COM
missoners have made no attempt or pre-
tense 10 discuss But the Interpretation
Of the Vermont statute relating to re-
serves has been matter for their consider
ation whether they would avoid ii or not,
and inasmuCh as their rulings have pro-
voked considerable comment, they have
deemed II proper to state their views on
that phase of the question.

them to the public as he has except that
did not expect he would be so unfair as
to change the sense of the telegram. by
punctuation | have not assailed Gov.
Page except as to his political methods
which are the most dehasing ever used in
Vermont l have not knowingly made Il
misstatement of facts, and fully believe
all that | have said to be true. Gov. Page
alludes to the campaign OF 1870. 1t reminds
mo that the late X. y. Perkins said in the
Rutland Herald that Gov. Page mad
done more than any other man to corrupt
Vermont politics, This is the belief he d
by a majority OF the best people of YER
mont, and no frantic statements to tho
contrary by Gov. Page upon the eve Of
the convention viii make them believe to
the contrary. Nothing that ne now says
makes me wish to change the ViowsNcx-
pressed in my two letters. If Gov. Page
thinks that what / have stated In my for

portance. Upon several occasions dur
ing the progress of the trial Thurman
referred To his legal opponent as Mr..
Necessity" The young man arose
whenever this occurred and with great
gravity reminded the court that his
name was Cassidy. Finally. after the
offenSe had been repeated about a
dozen times, the pompous attorney eX-
claimed:

Thurman. "The reason | keep getting
