 About life insurance bustness in senernl, Deputy sexton reports ss fol- Iowa:
 There has perhaps never been . time, in the history of life insurance wben conditions existed as they do at present. The situation is one frAught with too great . degree of nsrvousncss with reference to this highly valuable branch of economic and commercial life. resulting from several reasons, chief among which are the vaeiilat- ing values Of securities. brought about by over capitalization. and high pres sure methods employed by many cor- porate interests, and reforms seeking to correct conditions, which in some instances have not had the eheet in- tended.
 Life insurance is something that affects us socially as well as In . busi- ness way and there should be thrown around 1t every possible safeguard that the law can establish. and that moral support can give It. The failure of life insurance company Is often more disastrous than bank failure Since the exposures consequent upon the searching investigations of some of the oldest and largest companies there has sprung pp-in nearly every State q company which demands its share of public patronage.
 Within the last eighteen months over 200 life companies have been in. corporated. It is earnestly hoped that they will all succeed. It is the Inter. est of the insured the public geseraliy the companies and insurance offlciais everywhere that every encourag cement be given our young compaiens. and that they be given every opportunity to succeed. consistent with sound prac- tices and 1egitimate methods.
 The three Alabama legal reserve companies arc we'll on the road to success. Tho Southern States Life. be- ginning April. 1906; The Protective Life. in September. 1907. and the Great Southern Life in April, 1908, are all transacting business upon conser- vative lines. and bid fair to rank with the leaders as they gather strength with continuation of their conserva- tive development"
