SUPERVISION OF !
LIFE INSURANCE
3y J..

iners, who consist of one or moro
competent. actuaries and a corps of
clerks, go to the home office of the
company, where they are given ac-
cess to all it's books, policies and
records In case of a thorough ex
animation, every piece of property
which the company owns or has any
loan on, no matter where it is To-
Gated, is appraised by properly Sc
lected appraisers, records of deeds
and mortgages are investigated to
see that the titles are all clear, the
liability on each policy which the
company has outstanding is figured
its expenditures are examined; in
fact a complete investigation of the
assets, liabilities and methods of
business is made.
If it is found that the company is
pursuing methods which are not con-
ducive to the best interests of it's
| policy holders, these are pointed out
and reforms follow. Examinations
often result in showing that COM
| panies are even more favorably cir
cumstanced than their own reports
show. Only recently the examination
| of large company resulted in the
| examining department crediting it
with over a million dollars more as
sets than it claimed,
Supervision of life insurance by
| federal authorities has been advO-
| Gated for years. Elizur Wright rec
| commended it even as early as 1865,
and the agitation has been going on
more or less ever since. The inter-
| est in this movement was consider
| ably increased when the bureau of
commerce and labor was established
a few years ago and more recently
| when President Roosevelt recon-
mended national supervision in his
| message to congress. Many promi-
nent officials of insurance companies
are in favor of it. One striking adj
vantage for the companies doing in
terstate business, which it's advocates
point out, Is that insurance laws to
which they conform would be uni
form throughout the country.
While there are many things in
state supervision which if corrected
would tighten the burdens of the
companies, yet the fact must not be
overlooked that in the last quarter
of the cntury during which time
this supervision has been universally
exercised) the dearth of failures of
life insurance companies has made
a record that is not paralleled in any
other system of business.

Madison, Wis, June 23.-The co1A-
mencement day address at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin was delivered by
Hon. Carl Schurz, of New York. He
said in part: This republic should
stand as the gentleman par excellence
among nations; gentleman sconing
the role of gwashbuckler, whose hip
pockets bulge with loaded sixshooters
and who flashes big diamonds on his
fingers and shirt front; a gentleman
modest in the consciousness of strength,
carrying justice, forbearance, and con-
Citation on his tongue, and benevolence
in his hand, rather than a chip on his
shoulder. If this republic is to endure
and to be successful in its highest
mission it must put it's trust rather in
schools than in battleships."
President Van Hise i'm an address &C.
verely scored tainted fortunes" and
deplored the up-building of universities
by such means. The degree Of doctor
of laws was conferred on Carl Schurz;
