Policy Holders Lose Control

"Fourth-Thus it came about that the
control of these two companies was
gradually taken out of the hands of the
policy holders and came under the alb
solute domination of a few executive
officers. Out of this system have grown
the extravaGances and other abuses,
some of the particulars of which were
brought out under legal pressure by the
Armstrong investigating committee.
The self appointed directors are still in
control and will remain in control di-
rectly or through their own nominees,
unless you as policy holders decide
otherwise by the exercise of your right
of simple ballot voting which has been
restored by recently enacted law.
"Fifth-At the last session of the
legislature of the state of New York,
the state which issued the charters of
these two companies, there was enacted
q law which gives to policy holders
their actual voting rights. The law
strikes at the very root of the evil. 1t
cancels all previously issued proxies
and provides that any proxy given in
advance OF October Is, 1906. shall be
void. 1t fixes the date for the election
of directors. 1t gives to the policy
holders the privilege of nominating
their own candidates and the right of
vote by ballot as in ordinary elections
and to record that vote by mail. We
emphasize the fact that now is the only
opportunity for obtaining complete con-
troll of your properties at one election,
as hereafter under the law only one
half the directors can be chosen in any
one wear.

Organization Necessary

"Sixth-To secure the benefit of such
law it is necessary that the 100000
or more policy holders should organize
into such a working force as to secure
harmony of action in the selection of
candidates for directors. Associations
of policy holders have been formed in
various parts of the United States and
in foreign countries, each independent
of the other. These associations have
united in an appeal to your committee
to act with the entire body of policy
holders in the selection of candidates
for directors, thirty-six for the Mutual
Life and twenty-four for the New York
Life.
"The foregoing and the grave abuses
of trust that gave rise to such legisla-
tion made necessary the organization
of your committee. Neither the COM
mittee nor it's general council will ac-
cept any compensation for their serV-
ices. Our nominees will be representa-
tive of every section as far as possible,
but under the law one-half of each
board must be residents of the state
of New York.
Responsibility Ends
when from the names which we now
invite you to submit to us for consider
alton we have nominated candidates
for directors we shall have discharged
the responsiveness TeSllnB upon us.
election OF candidates will be entirely in
your hands. The directors now in power
have nominated or will nominate for
each company what is to be known as
the administration ticket. the ma
chinery of which they now control
through their possession of your prop
erty to defeat your candidates and elect
themselves or their nominees.
1.-THE expense of this campaign must
be borne by the policy holders. 1t costs
over $4,000 TO place circular in the
hands of all policy holders.
"A committee of finance will have
charge of all receipts and expenditures
and will see that all contributions re-
ceived from policy holders are expended
In their interest. AT the completion of
the campaign q detailed expense re-
port will be rendered.
"Under these conditions and Ia the
full belief that this movement is one
of the most important which has ever
been instituted in this country, your
committee feels free to urge you as a
policy holder to forward to the secre-
! tary such voluntary contributions Crom
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-10
What the Law Requires

"Second-The law requires that the
policy holders of mutual company
shall elect from among themselves di-
rectors who shall be responsible to
all policy holders for the Intelligent
and faithful management Of the com
pany's affairs. AS the law formerly
stood it was practically impossible for
the policy holders, scattered through
out the world, to vote. In 1905, even
after the agitation began, there were
252S votes cast, mainly proxies, in the
two companies out of a total of over
100000 policy holders or less than
one-ffth of 1 per cent.
"Third-It generally became recog-
nized custom among the officers to Sc
cure through agents, proxies made out
to the president or some officer of the
company upon the delivery of the pol-
icy. In this way the voting power was
gradually transferred from the policy
holders to a few of the executive ott1-
GERS centered in New York.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-From of ficial sources 1t was learned today that the delay in calling an interna tional conference of the powers sigma tory to the Berlin treaty, to consider the advisability oI taking action to ward correcting the abuses in the Con go Free State, Is due to a desire to await the outcome of the discussion oi the question now going on in the Pelftan parliament, which will de termine whether or not Belgium viii assume the obligations resting upon her this case.
 The extent to which the United States government will intercede de bends largely upon the fate of the Lodge resolution, which will probably cause considerable discussion, some senators already having indicated that the case, from dip'onatic stand point. Is somewhat similar to that oi horCcc:.

SUBWAY MATTER
 ID BE TAKEN UP AGAIN
Probable That Some Decisive
 Action on Proposition Will Be
 Agreed Upon at Meeting of Council.

The old subject of the taking over of the subway by the city, which has often been discussed in the past. and never been definitely settled. Is now being agitated again. and according to the present outlook 1t is probable that at least some definite disposition of this matter will be made.
 h the past 1t has invariably been a contest between those people who live at . distance from the subway, and therefore think that they do not ob- tain any benefit, and the property own. CTS along Main street whose property abuts the waterway.
 It seems that a majority of the councilmen have now come to the conclusion that it is for the general welfare of the community to take some decisive step. assessing the cost as equitably as possible.
 It was known for some time that Mayor Caven was in favor of the talk ing over of the subway by the city. and when seen last evening and asked about the matter he said:
 Personally I favor the proposition of having this matter settled in such a way that the city will have entire jurisdiction over the subway which Is of vital importance to the city. and I believe that a majority of the council men also favor the proposition. al though l have not had the time lately to discuss the matter with them.
 T feel that the entire city will be benefited by such an arrangement, and believe that the cost could be equit. ably distributed. It is true that the residents of those portions of the city which are distant from the subway are not as directly interested in the mat, ter as the property holders along Main street. but at the same time the bur. den of the cfty's taxation rests on that portion of the city's real property To cated near the subway, and the cos,
 ould be correspondingly greater to the owners of the property.
 Besides 1t Is question O: vital i'm portance to the city of Bisbee to pro tect its inhabitants against danger oi 1 floods such as has occurred at Clifton and to provide safeguards. which vii ! carry of the water in case of au un usually heavy rain or ciondburst.
 There will be a meeting of the cit, council held on Monday evening. anr great many of the business men and Eroperty owners have already signife1 their intention of attending and ex | pressing their views on the subject.
