field company, The Massachu-
setts Mutual, in which there is
naturally manifested a consider
able degree of local pride, has an
expense of only ST. 46 per $1,000 ot
insurance in force, which, with
one exception, is the lowest Of
any of the entire twenty-five lead
ing companies. The expense
cost of the Berkshire Lite is ST.,

Tie administrative and clerica'
per cent. of these three compan.
les is respectively 5.35, 5.5l and
A %.
1t is an exceedingly satisfac.
tony showing that these three
Nj lAssachusetts companies make.
Ii tends to prove the assertion
that the insurance business in
AlAssachust it's is well conducted
and efficiently supervised. Theor-
etically, the big companies in
New York ought to make a better
economic showing than the small
er companies, because it is an AK
ION of modern industrialism that
the greater the business the less
thu relative cost of handling it.
That they do not, appears to be
due solely to their extravagant
methods, a horrible sample of
which we have seen in the Equit-
able disclosures. The people are
becoming better acquainted with
tie Insurance business, and II
Will not be surprising that as q
result OF public sentiment the big
companies will suffer 10 the Cd
vantage OF the smaller ones. -
