PURIFIED LIRE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence Of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de.
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. Il was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms. with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that il
should be given q thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. Il Is estimated that the
cost Of the mismanagement Of the past
did not average more than 20 cents TO
each policyholde-. while the benefits
to present and future p~olicyholders
viii amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze Of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most eXtravagant evil Of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost Of new business has
already been greatly reduced. along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in IT'S report
for 1896 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving OF over 81 1000. 900 In expenses.
besides an increase 10 the income
from the S~oclety's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios OF the
Equitable's total expenses TO IT'S total
income was lS,42E in 1904, 1882 In
1905. and only l4.tST IN 1906. The
dividends paid 20 Equitable policy
holders In 1906 amounted 20 s7.2s9.734,
which was IN increase OF more than
90 over 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company.
all reported radical economies and m
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided 10 leave the law sub
stantially as e stands.
