PURIFIED LIFE 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. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide.

considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost OF the mismanagement OF the past
did not average more than 90 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits

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 its report
for 1906 was strong argument
against meddling 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 Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1929 in 1904, 1889 In
1905, and only 14.4S9o in 1906. Tho
