Mutual Lie In.ur.nce Methods.

OMAHA, Sept. Ito the Editor of The
Bee: In your Sunday Bee. in an editorial
under the caption, Mutual Life Insurance
Methods" you leave the inference that the
managers of all mutual life insurance COM
panies deprive their members OF particips-
tion In the selection Of trustees and man
agement. While that is true as 10 COM
panies located in New York, where the
proxy law permits the officers TO obtain and
vote proxies, and that proxies once given
are perpetual unless revoked by the giver
OF the proxy; but this state OF affairs does
not apply to other states like Wisconsin,
Massachusetts,, Connecticut Pennsylvania
and others. l inelose you a copy of recent
examination Of the Northwestern Mutual
wherein you will find the report shows that
mutuAlity exists in its truest sense, and
what applies to the Northwestern Mutual
applies equally to many other mutual COM
panies outside Of New York.

the desire on the part of certain OF the
schools to demand whatever OF equipment
or building is given another. In spite Of tho
fact that the schools and the fields they
occupy are entirely separate.
The three schools of the state are To-
Gated at Iowa City, Ames and Cedar Falls.
and at this time all of the schools are re-
peating courses: that is, the State univor-
sity and State Agricultural college hAVO
courses in engineering and the State ui,-

Of the State Normal college. The three
schools come into competition when the
funds OF the state are divided, all but the
Normal making demands for thousands
more than they expect. in order that they
may not be surpassed by the other.
It is the hope Of the legislature that some
method will be reported which will check
the growing difference OF the schools.
