PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re-
mainc Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence OF Gov
Hughes, the New York Legislature de
cidcd to make no radical changes in
he new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide.
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyEolders, and that IL
should be given thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost OF the mismanaEemcnt OF the past
did not average more than 20 cents TO
each policyhC.dcr, while the benefits
to present and future policyhodcrs
will amount TO many times moro and

Ccssirc cost of securing new business
was the most CXtravggant evil Of tn"
old managcmonts. Under the now
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 1906 was a strong argument
against meddlinE with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
Saving Of over 100000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Gocicty's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1920, in 1904, 172S'i in
1905, and only 144Set in 1906, The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to s72S9,T34,
which was an increase Of more than
