Life insurance in Germany has had
the astonishing effect of increasing the
tenure OF life among Its benefciaries.
A German law, originally designed to
protect the state from pauperism re-
sult.ng from invalidity, provides that
every workman must insure himself
against illness. Half the premium,
which Is small, 10 paid by the employer.
II was soon found that In some indus
tries many workers developed consump-
ton and were incapacitated. The sue
cess Of the whole scheme Of obligatory
insurance was threatened As purely
economic matter 1t became necessary
to protect workmen against consump-
ton and to provide hospitals for the
cure Of the disease. II was good busi-
ness for the government to make its
law practicable by assisting the hos
pitfalls, and for the capitalists to keep
workmen sound and healthy. The les
son from this is not an argument In IA
Yor Of obligatory insurance. but a deep
er lesson. the value to society Of the life
of q man and the great return on the
investment Of money spent to prevent
and cure disease.
