THE LINE OF SAFETY.

Charles E Hughes, chief counsel for
the Armstrong insurance investigation
commission, told a gathering Of life
Insurance men some truths Tuesday
evening. After expressing the belief
that the insurance legislation recently
enacted By the New York legislature
would be good for the companies as
well as for the policyholders. Mr.
Hughes defined for his hearers the line
Of safety for the companies It was
good, old fashioned doctrine he laid
Iowu-tha doctrine that no man, no cor
poration. is greater than the law, and
that all should obey the Law. Said
he.
1.-THE line Of safety for the life in
sUrance company is the line marked
out by the law; the line Of prudent in
vestment; the line of maintaining the
life insurance business as life insurance
business: the line which will be fol-
lowed by those who have an eye single
to that business, and not to undertak-
ings which promise larger benefits for
themselves. There Is no reason why
the life insurance companies should be
banded together in a systematic eff
fort to control a large part of the
legislation of this or any other state -
If the managers Of the life insur-
ance companies will follow this advice
literally they Will have nothing to fear
from any committee Of investigation.
There is no reason why they should not
follow il: there is every reason why
they should. The Armstrong investi-
cation showed that the temptation to
use insurance funds as their own was
so great that many Of the insurance
magnates could not resist it. And they
were men who are CIassed as honest
and honorable. Technically speaking
they did no wrong, either, or at least
legally speaking.
However, as Mr.. Hughes says. the
way TO conduct a life insurance bust
ness is to conduct a life insurance bust
ness. The moment a company official
begins using company money in bTib-
ing members Of legislatures, that mo-
ment the public has q, right to believe
he is dishonest. No honest man Will
give bride: no honest legislator has
to be bribed to do the thing that is
right.
Attorney Hughes says that what has
been done I'm the life insurance inves-
tfgation has not been destructive, but
constructive He is right. The at
mosphere has been vastly cleared; the
people have today an abundant con-
fdence in the stability Of all the great
companies. and the life insurance bust
ness IS today on a soundeT. stronger
footing than It has ever been
