Life Assurance society in an address
which he delivered at Manhattan Beach

come from different parts of the coun-
try.
After briefly reviewing recent events
in the Equitable, Mr.. Morton said.
Il am going to say a few words to you
on your new administration. There will
be no attempt to make it daZZlingIy bril-
liant. The effort will be to make it hon
est, courageous and conservative. There
will be the greatest consideration for the
policy holders and at every turn their
interests will be protected All of the
new directors are policy holders. Bust
nesslike methods will prevail. The more
economy of the right sort we can insti-
tute the more We can save TO the policy
holders. Investments will be of the high
est character.
The institution will not be run as an
adjunct to any one or several banking
houses. Every owner of securities will
have a chance TO deal with US. and our
very lowest prices The cheaper the So
clety can be properly administered. the
better We can invest our earnings and
the better showing we can make the
easier Will it be for agents to sell our
insurance. ! want TO see the insurance
business removed as far as possible from
politics. | believe in proper laws safe
guarding the sacred trusts of insurance
and L will Cooperate in the enactment
Of any necessary laws with that end in
view. We shall work to put the bust
ness Of life insurance on an elevated
plane which il ought TO occupy.
The new management of the EQui-
table viii insist on an annual audit OF
its affairs by an unbiased and indepen-
dent accountant. There will be no at
tempt to deceive anybody, not even our
selves.
''Retrenchments are the order Of the
day in the Equitable. They will amount
to 100000 per year, which is equal TO
per. cent on an investment of SIS, 600 900.
They will amount TO a larger sum be-
fore we are through. I am sure that
viii satisfy, not only our policy holders
and our own agents, but the many who
will buy what we have to SELL
