HOW 1T COMES HOME TO US.


Prof Franklin H. Giddngs Of Columbia
university, being asked by the World to
discuss the ethical side Of the life insur-
ance Investigations, has done so briefly
and to much purpose. Promising that 1t
is not wise to have such enormous in
terests as the great life insurance COM
panics are concerned with intrusted to a
few men whose transactions are never
completely disclosed in an adequate and
straightforward accounting, he goes on to
put his finger on the spot at which every
policyholder is most sensitive. Where do
these millions come from, he asks. that
accumulate so rapidly as to bewilder even
men accustomed to handling enormous
sums? They have come, he answers.
from premiums enormously in excess of
the actual cost Of the insurance received
He goes on to say:
Roughly speaking the payment OF
$500 year in premiums to an insurance
company by man of 40 years of age. and
In good health. buys an insurance Of the
face value Of $4,000. An examination of
the finances Of the great New York COM
panies as made public in the recent dis
closures and comparison Of them with
the finances of the life insurance systems
OF country like New Zealand, where the
business is honestly managed by the state,
indicates that a premium of 5000 ought TO
secure an insurance of between S1O.O 900
and $4,000"
In that statement we get close to the
pith OF the life insurance situation. Is
Prof. Giddings right in his figures? Are
the insurance companies able to afford the
free-handed management which charac-
terizes nearly all of them--are they able
TO assign immense sums annually to their
agents, and to pay their officers as hand
somely as they do-because they are TAX
ing annually from their policyholders
about twice as much money as their pol
icyholders ought to pay for what they
get? The New Zealand state insurance
with which Prof. Giddings makes com
parison Is, doubtless, cheaper than we can
expect insurance to be furnished by any
private concern. Moreover, the face
value of the insurance which costs the
40-years- old American about 5000 a year
is not the whole value that he receives
In 20 years time, If he is able to keen up
his payments, accumulated dividends
amounting, possibly, to $4,000 may be add
ed TO the face of his policy Nevertheless,
this assertion that the man who wants
life insurance has to pay great deal too
much for 1t comes from too many respec-
table sources not to have some sound
basis The thing the policyholder wants
to know beyond all other things is how
much he really ought to pay for what he
gets. and how and where, at the present
time, it is possible for him to get his
moneys worth

Automobiles Did Not Stop.

An automobile accident occurred near
the Searles place on the road between
here and Charlestown Sunday evening
Mr.. Ownes, who lives on the Minis farm
near Charlestown with friend from Will
mington were leading three colts behind
their team when an auto with no lights
came up behind them from the direction
of Charlestown. The colts and horse took
fright as the auto struck the side of the
team and created quite a disturbance,
throwing both men out and injuring
them quite badly. The auto, however,
kept right on without stopping. The men
noticed that the lamp on the left side
was broken, and so they hurried to Bel
lows Falls and notified Chief of Police A.
H. Thompson. Chief Thompson, think
ing it might have been local machine,
made investigations but none of the auto
mobiles here had a broken lamp. Ownes
telephoned to the Keene authorities the
next morning telling them of the acct
dent and giving description of the
machine. City Messenger Emmons of
Keene remembered having seen an auto
of such description coming down Court
street about o'clock Sunday evening
From Keene the machine is thought to
have continued on its way without making
more than a very short stop in the city
No trace of them has been found since.
The men, though badly hurt, were able to
proceed on their way to Wilmington with
the cots.-[Bellows Falls Times.

The Flood of immigration.
boston Herald


The number of immigrants coming into
the United States in the fiscal wear end
ing June 80, 1905, was by considerable
the largest of any incoming during twelve
months In the history of our country The
othclal report puts this number at 1,026,-
4S9, or 2lS,629 more than came in during
the twelve months of the preceding fiscal
year. 1t would, we think be somewhat
more satisfactory If the bureau of immi-
grafton would also furnish a statement
OF the number who annually leave this
country for foreign lands, assuming, as
IN the rough ii might, that those who do
not travel first class are the offset to
those who are enumerated when coming
In as immigrants. The net gain by this
movement OF people would be the diff
ference between these two amounts The
ngures are easily ascertainable. and in the
annual statements should be grouped and
classifed together. Last year the great
est gain in immigration was in those who
came from Austria-Hungary. More than
zf0'OOO immigrants are reported to have
entered the United States during the
last fiscal year who were natives of this
oual empire-the greater number coming
from ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS III, 900 who came
IN the previous year. Italy sent 221, 900,
and Russian and Finland 1S5, 900 In
other words, more than two-thirds OF
those who came from Europe-in fact,
two-thirds of our entire Immigration
came from the three countries named.
Inc great German empire sent us 1854,
making 1t evident that one check upon
excessive emigration to this country from
Europe would be to improve industrial
conditions on that continent, which would
have marked tendency in other coun-
tries, as II now has in Germany, in keep
ing the people at home

methods of representation in the Green
Mountain State
Burlington, $3.50 polls, S14S, 374.75 grand
list And represented equally in the Yer

The time will come when Vermont will
realize that it has been left far In the
rear by neighboring states. as regards
methods of representation in the law
making body and will abolish the anti
quated system which makes every small
town pocket borough and at the same
time deprives thousands of voters of the
right OF representation for which the re-
volutionary fathers fought. Vermont
has today no legislative body based
strictly on population, a remarkable con-
altion OF affairs to exist under a repre-
sentative form Of government.

"Honest John" Merrlfleld for Lieutenant
Governor.

The Montpelier celebration seems to
have renewed political discussion to some
extent Among the suggestions is that
of Speaker John II. Merrifeld Of Newfane
for lieutenant governor. Vermont has no
finer citizen than John Merriheld. Con-
scientious, upright, broadminded, true TO
the state and true to himself, honest as
the year is long and trusted and honored
by all who know him, We have not a
word to say against either OF the two
active candidates but II Honest John
Merrifeld is willing TO accept the lien
tenant governorship there ought not to be
thought OF anybody else for the place.
