some Of the large cities to employ the

that the door is open to the stranger.

Trustees and Dire ctors.

Jacob II. Schiff s admission that he
was dummy director in the Equitable,
While 1t was not news at all, shocked
people just the same. They did not ex-
pect q man of Mr.. Schiff IS weight in
finance to come upon the witness stand
and an confess that he was content to be
director who did not direct.
# Ihere can be no doubt about the
facts because Mr.. Schiff, who ought to
know, admits them. He says the Equit-
able was in the hands Of it's executive
officers, who could have stolen it blind
without the trustee finding out any
thing about it. Evidently they did try
and evidently they were discovered, not
by any watchfulness on the part of tho
trustees, nor by any alertness upon the
part OF the insurance commissioner, but
by an unfortunate quarrel" among
themselves. ag+
Mr.. Schif has cast more doubt upon
the safety of companies which have
large and snowy boards of directors
than any other man who has testified
The question raised as regards trus-
tees in these Investigations is, Of what
use are trustees anyway9 When asked
by Mr.. Hughes this question, Mr.. Schiff
replied: IT believe they are of very
little use.'' s'~-. -.
Mr.. Schiff's idea is that the executive
officers ask the advice of the trustees
only when they want it; that is to say,
when they have up question upon
which. they would like to divide the
responsibility. If the executive officer
wishes to do wrong, to conceal any
transaction from the directors, Mr..
Schiff believes he will have no diff
Guilty in doing so.- ~ .~.E
Mr.. Bigelow robbed big national
bank in Milwaukee under, the nose Of
the directors. The Guaranty Loan COM
pany fell apart in Minneapolis, and
the trustees came up and testified that
they knew nothing about it. ; In
stances could be multiplied to show how
financial institutions had been ruined
by the failure Of directors to direct.
There is, of course, another side. The
public does not know how many times
fnarsial institutions have. been saved
by perhaps but one man, raising a row
in board Of trustees and insisting on
the officers doing things differently.
There is necessarily no publicity given
to these facts, but they exist. If they
could be. published they would go far
toward showing thatga properly consti-
tuted board Of trustees is not, as Mr..
schif declares, merely for the purpose
of complying with the forms Of law.
The great difficulty in the Equitable
was that, it had SO many trustees who
were not in any proper way interested
in the business. 47yrs-5 ,s-. 7 i -
Other companies arestin the same pre-
dicnment. They have On their boards

merely for advertising purposes; and
who know nothing ~or care nothing
