EFFECTS OF THE INSURANCE LAW


The brief pamphlet published by Mr.. George
Z. Ide, which reprint this morning, on the
effects Of the New York State insurance law
deserves consideration as coming from a life
insurance president of the highest standing, I'M
connected with the three big companies which
chiefly complain Of the Armstrong statute. Mr..
Ide calls attention to the decrease in insurance
in force in those companies since the reform
legislation enacted, decrease Of which
he says: ut is by no means q healthy sign
- is this situation which can be
viewed with equanimity by the persistent
''polcyholder." He also asserts that the loan
provisions of the New York law tend to defeat
the main object of life nsurance-nameIy. the
protection of the poicyholder's dependents.
The figures contained in the pamphlet are
striking the insurance IN force having declined,
in one instance S15OO0OO0O since 1905. in
another $40, 100000 and in another S6S 600 OG0,
while loans to policyhOlders have increased
since 1903 in one company S56000OO0 in an
other $44,O00,O00 and in another S46OO0.O00.
1t is not safe. however, 10 conclude that the
Armstrong legislation is the cause Of all these
changes. in the last four years two other cir
cumstances have tended powerfully to reduce
insurance in fOrce-the insurance investiga-
tion, with its damaging revelations. the full
effect Of which was felt chiefly by the three
companies whose annual reports Mr. Ide dis
cusses, and the panic. Both of these together
may conceivably have been enough to account
for the decline in outstanding insurance and.
the financial strain preceding and following the
panic may largely explain the great increase
in loans to policyholders Under normal CON
ditiOns it is possible that the insurance in force
in the great companies viii grow steadily in
volume despite the Armstrong laws All the
figures which we have seen whether purport-
ing TO show the advantages or disadvantages
of the new insurance regulations. are too much
of the post hoe ergo propter hoe variety 10 prove
either that those regulations should or should
not be materially amended. Their operation
deserves the most careful and fair-minded
scrutiny, which should take every factor into
consideration and be broad enough in scope 10
include all the companies doing business under
the New York law

FOR LIFE.

Apparently to set at rest any DOUBTS Wnich
recent alIusions by Representative FRANK CLARK
and others have raised as TO his submergence as
. marty leader Mr. Bryan issued this statement
Yesterday at Kansas City, Mo:
While I hope that my party will not rot, nna NO. II
necessary to call for as Presidential candl-
5ate in the next campaign, l make the EN-
nhatic statement that I have no intention or re-
firing from politics l began to fight for Demo,
cratic principles long before my party hearo OF
me and as I live l shall continue II as loHS aS
have strength.
Mr. Bryan's vitality is evidently unimpaired
While he doesn't get much of hearing nova
DAYS in the conferences at washington at
which the Democratic partys policy on the
tariff is being twisted out of recognition, he
still has the Chautauqua circles at his mercy
and the newspapers are open to him So long
as he can make 100000 a year IecturlnG ne
will be in a position to enforce his claims TO
the guardianship of Jefersonan principles and
an entaiIed right to the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination. Sitting is final arbiter. he has
voted himself a life tenure and the Democratic
party n life sentence.

FAVOR EMPLOYERS LIABILITY BILL
1t Provides for a Commission to Examine Into
Question and Report to Legislature.
he Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit us to call 10 the attention Of your
readers a bill introduced by Senator Newcomb in
the Senate and by Messrs Voss and Phillips In the
Assembly and pending in Albany, providing
for a commission TO examine into the question Of
employers liability and TO report such recon-
mendations for legislation this subject II
deems proper. The law the subject of
ployers' liability. 1t exists in this state to-day,
is unsatisfactory. 1t works injustice. both
70 employer and employed 1t Is provocative OF
fraud and inhumanIty 1t fosters litigation crowds
the courts and brings the administration Of justice
into dsrepute 1t produces bad feeling between
employers and employed.
Such a condition of affairs deserves intelligent
study, with a view To the enactment of wise cor
rective legislation. England and Germany are
far in advance of in this respect. We should
profit by their example.
The bill has passed the Assembly, but 1t Is to be
feared that unless public sentiment is plainly ex-
pressed II will not pass the Senate. We therefore
urge all public spirited citizens write to the Hon.
Jotham Aids, chairman, Senate Chamber Al
bany. requesting favorable action said bill. which
is No S4S To be effective this must be done at

ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE HORROR.

Oratory has always been one Of the notable
features OF the aldermanic conferences across
the way. and those who frequent the City Hall
have become accustomed TO st eng the shade OF
Demosthenes stink away in shame. But not
since the pamy days when the Alderman who
disliked "hypnotica questions sat in the seats
of the mighty have we had anything SO entirely
worthy of the time and place the eloquence
which hubbled forth when the question Of the
regulation of automobiles by city ordinance came
up for discussion. The accounts of narrow es
capes OF women and children from these mon
sters might have been endured with measure
of fortltude, but everybody shuddered at hearing
that one of the aldermen nearly lost his life
last week.
Yet we are not entirely satisfied with the evi-
dence How is il that only those loyal servants
Of the city who have not been provided with
'choo-choo wagons by our beneficent Father
Knickerbocker find them dangerous? Heads
Of departments with automobiles at their dis
posaI have never indicated by word rr action
that they had any fault 10 find with them. Can
II ne possible that if the city should supply such
conveyances 10 members Of the Board of Alder
men they would undergo a change Of heart? It
has been noted that the world looks entirely
different from the seat of an automobile than
from the middle of the street. with touring car
coming from each direction. or even from the
tail end of an ambulance. We were never before
quite so uncertain as 10 the operations of the
