Thanks TO n new act OF the Massa
chusetts legislature, which goes into
effect on the first OF November next. an
Interesting experiment in life insurance
IL promised TO the people of the Bay
State and New England generally. The
law In question provides for the sale
OF small life Insurance policies and an
nuities by the savings institutions OF
Massachusetts. The new feature is en-
tirely voluntary or optional, but when
the legislature adopted the measure In
tho face Of very strong opposition 1t
| knew that number OF savings banks
were willing TO go experimentally into
the insurance business not, indeed,
for profit or with the notion OF serious
ly competing with the insurance com
panies, but In benevolent and altruis-
tic spirit. The law was tho outgrowth
OF the insurance scandals and revela-
tions. Those who framed and pushed
II believed that the savings banks OF
Massachusetts which are strictly regu-
lated by statute and controlled by
state commission, are particularly fitted
to provide the poorer elements OF the
population with opportunities Of getting
life insurance at bare cost and under |
conditions which guarantee honest, con
sentative and intelligent management |
The banks do not expect and are not |
expected, TO solicit insurance, to employ |
agents or even carry on active corre-
spondence In order to obtain business.
Blank forms OF policies will, however.
be widely distributed and tho would-be
benehclarles of the system Will have
to take the trouble Of applying for and
getting the policies and Of regularly
paying their premiums Whether many
people, even in thrifty and enlightened
realize the need Of life
insurance sufficiently TO incur such
trouble Is one of the many questions
upon which the experiment Is to give
us light. The governor OF Massachu-
setts has just taken the first step under
the act He has appointed seven state
trustees, whose duty II will be to select
state insurance actuary and a medical
iirector and TO make all other prepare
Ions for the assumption by the savings {
ranks OF the new function. The trus- l
ees serve without pay and are connect {
u with the banks that are In sympathy {
With the experiment There is much I
work to be done, lnclud- G
ng tho preparation OF actuarial tables {
