In President Taylor's report the
matter of the representation of policy
holders in annual meetings of the
company is fully explained, and cou-
pied with it are timely words of eau
tion. The report of the president
covers many other subjects Of imme-
diate interest and deserves careful
perusa1. The showing that the com
pany's managers have avoided the
practices which have brought such
severe condemnation upon the big
New York companies is a matter OF
special gratifcation.'
This company makes no profits save
for it's members; it charges each one
an adequate premium, one that is GER
tainly safe; and deducts from it the
total cost of his individual insurance
for year, and then returns to him,
in unearned or unused premiums call
ed dividends, the excess he had paid
over such actual cost; with no dis
elimination in favor of any one, and
no forfeiture for the benefit of other
members.
The company made full answers to
all the inquiries of the joint commit
tee of the legislature of the state of
New York, and a leaflet, covering the
entire correspondence, will be sent to
members, on application at the home
office, or at the agencies.
