insuring one another's lives, and 1t
has remained such and nothing else
All the twenty-seven directors or trus-
tees must hold policies on which they
are paying premiums. They are in
three classes. each of nine members.
The term Of office Of one class eX-
pires every year. 1t thus requires
two years to change a majority Of the
board and yet a change that may
seriously affect it can be made an
nually if desired.
Both considerations present advan-
tages. In his latest annual report
the president, Mr.. Harry f. West,
thus spoke in fitting terms Of the in
ternal organization of the company:
The Corporation, chartered by the
state of Pennsylvania, February "a,
1s47, and beginning business on May
rs Of that year, laid the foundation
stones firmly. . Pursuant to
the charter board of trustees was
chosen, consisting Of twenty-seven
members. Each member of the
Corporation Consisting solely of those
insured by it, has the right to vote
at the elections, the number of his
of premium paid by him in the year
preceding, and SO being fairly repre-
sentative Of his interest. Such votes
are required to be deposited by the
member in person, no proxy votes be-
ing allowed. The effect of this limi-
tation is tWofold. While it practically
restricts the voting under usual cir
cumstanCes to those residing in the
city of Philadelphia and contiguous
territory, it also prevents the accumu-
lation of proxies in the hands Of Off
GERS or others desiring to perpetuate
themselves. If the members desire
different representation they may OBJ
tain it; but the dangers and losses
which elsewhere have occurred under
the proxy system are wholly OBJ
Waited.
Supervision by Committees.
1.-THE Board of Trustees annually in
January is divided into committees
and it Is under the supervision, direc-
ton and control of such committees
that the work Of the organization is
conducted, the officers being the in
struments employed by the board for
such purpose. In general the recon-
mendatiOns Of each committee com
mand the approval of the board and
thereupon become mandatory upon
the officers; but the action of each
committee is under the censorship of
the whole board there being a month
