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. II was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms. with proportionate
benefits to policyholdcrs. and that II
should bc given q thorough trial be.
foro any amendments were seriously
considered. II Is estimated that tho
cost Of tho mismannxcmcnt Of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each poiicyhoider. while tho benefits
to present and future poiicyhoidcrs
will amount to many times moro and
bc cumulative besides. The speed
craze Of the biz companies and the cx.
ccssivc cost Of securing new business
was tho most cxtravasant evil Of tho
old mannscments. Under tho new
regime the cost OF new business has
already been greatly reduced. aionk
with other economies.
The showing made by tho Equitable

against mcddlins with tho new Law.
In the Equitable alone there Was .
