EpI,ghtened Methods in Life Insurance.

Enlightened Methods in Life Insurnnces
 The Metropolitan Life insurance Company, of New York; has just ais tributed some official information in the form of a statement which would be quite unprecedented in the history of life insurance were it not for the fact that this same institution has be- fore treated its policyholders to simi- lar surprises.
 The Company announces that 1t has declared and Is paying a cash dividend upon its Industrial Policies maturing in 1906. amounting to more than two mil lions of dollars. The full significance of this action is apparent when the nature of the Metropolitan Life's insurance contract is understood. This Company "estimate" or guess at what it will he able to pay an insured person when his Policy natures, but agrees to pay definite. specified sum In return for a definite, specified premium paid by the insured according to contract. In ofh- CT words, 1t sells insurance at what the protection is worth-not as an invest ment nor as a speculation. Upon this basis the cost to the person insured Is of course determined by past expe- rience and as the factor of competitor prevents the exaction of too high rate, the premiums must always be as low as safe administration of the busi-
 And 1t need not be assumed that the Metropolitan Life desires to pose as philanthropic institution. Undoubtedly It's growth in popular favor and it's tre- meTdous accession of new business year after year are in part due to this be "all business. but if so, 1t is the sort of broad gauge, open-handed business that might be widely inflated with good results to all concerned. adv.
