THE REAL GRIEVANCE.

The real grievance of the American
people with life insurance is that it
costs too much says the Minneapolis
Tribune. The big companies seek
enormous business by wasteful and
extravagant methods in order to pile
up huge surpluses for use in the stock
market. The smaller companies have
to meet this competition by employ
ing the same extravagant methods so
that they cannot pay dividends to
policy holders. Life insurance is be-
coming an extravaganza of the rich,
while the poor take their chance in the
multitude Of fraternal and benevolent
societies that are filing the field it
abandons to them.
There is sufficient evidence of the ex-
travagance of life insurance in the huge
premiums and commissions it exacts and
pays, in its lavish expenditures and
meager dividends and in the mighty
surpluses it is able to heap up to lend
through trust companies to men who
want to manipulate stocks for their
own profit. But writer in World 8
Work gives evidence more specific.
He has been comparing the cost of in
surance in the United States with that
in other countries. Some Of the book
keeping terms used are not altogether
clear, but one can get the general
drift of the statistics.
Comparison is made first in the field
of industrial life insurance; that is.
the provisions made by employers OF
labor by their employees.
In Germany this is carried on by the
government at an expense of 7 pei
cent of the income. In Great Britain
and in the United States it is carried
by private corporations at a cost of 81
to 40 per cent of the income. On the
other hand, ordinary life insurance
costs nearly twice as much in the
United States as in Great Britain.
Their commissions and expenses are
about per cent of the total income,
here about II per cent.
Still more remarkable is the ex-
hibit of the disbursements of 81
American life companies last year.
Policy holders got 81 per cent in death
claims, endowments. surrenders, divi-
dends and annuities. The other SO PEI
cent was absorbed in costs OF admin
istration, nearly half of it being
commissions. Of course policyholders
furnished all the money for these dis
bursements. They got back two.
thirds of it, the company keeping the
rest for taking care of their funds

will result to the greatest good for
the people, and in this effort they be-
lieve that eventually they will have
the support of their constituents.
