Sum of Economy.
More than 1900 COO in fire insurance pre-
miums has been saved the Nebraska retail
lumbermen by carrying their Insurance in
their own association rather than with the
fire insurance companies, according to the
report OF Secretary Critchfield, who made
a report on the condition Of the company
at the Thursday session OF the Nebraska
Lumbermen's association
The company was fortunate in the way
OF having losses to pay during the year OF
1915, only t2s4s being paid. as against IS, rs
during the year 1897. This is bringing the
loss from fire in lumber yards down TO the
minimum.
During 1905 only a small increase In risks
Is shown. as the association has thor
oughly covered the state and is not desir-
Gus OF pushing into other states for bust
ness.
The secretary reported an inclination on
the part Of line yard dealers to go elsewhere
for their insurance and not carry policies
with the LumSOermen's mutual organization.
regardless OF the fact that the rate charged
by the old companies w& three times as
high in Nebraska before the mutual COM
pany was organized. The following are the
figures from Mt. CrttchfIeEfs report:
In 1880 the average rate on retail lumber
yards in Nebraska was over SIS per 200
per annum. In 1908 the average rate was
less than T.9 per 5000 1t is safe to say
that during the last eighteen years the 80
lumber yards of Nebraska have carried an
average OF 5000 per yard, or a total OF
100000 OF insurance. In 1890 this 5000 90
/ cost $4,000 OF insurance. In laOs this same
amount cost less than 5000 per year, or q

years. a saving 10 our dealers OF over

1 call your attention to the general facts contained in the
attached hereto. l think you will there read the answer to the
query that uniformed people so often make, "Why do life
insurance companies need such great accumulations of
money!"
Our ultimate obligation at their face value approaches two
thousand million dollars; our assets for all purposes market
values are about five hundred and fifty-seven millions. Every
dollar of those assets is absolutely necessary under a clearly
defined program in order to liquidate our liabilities, both
actual and contingent. Our assets are large because our liza
biities are large because we are doing a large work of the kind
/ have described.
You understand, of course, that the time has passed when
life insurance companies will attempt to defeat or repeal legis-
lation by any indirection or by any process which will not meet
the approval of the most scrupulous mind. Bad legislation you
can readily defeat, unfair taxation you can easily abate. You
can do this by the creation of public opinion and by direct
appeal to the men who represent you in legislation.
Legislation follows what it believes public opinion to be.
You are numerous enough to influence public opinion mater
tally. To do this you must have that reliable information
which will convince your judgment, and such information we
propose to make easily accessible. You can have it for the
asking. We hope to place it before you during the coming
year in a series of Plain Talks to Policy holders through the
public prints. If we convince you, then act as you would Oh
any kindred question which involves both your personal inter.
est and the public ~wellbeing.
In any case study the figures attached. Study them as
you would the balance sheet of your own business. Commend
or criticise them if they deserve either. But, above all, observe
what a far-reaching, equitable and enduring program of self.
help you are a part of in the daily work of the New York Life.

HOW YOUR WORK IS LIMITED

But here a curious condition confronts you. In the extent
of your work, and in that alone, you are not advancing.
For example, in 1905, you issued about $4,000 new policies, and
from various causes you lost $1,000. 1t is a startling fact, that
If you had taken into your ranks in 1908 enough new members
TO make good the number that dropped out, making no growth
whatever, you and your representatives would have violated
the criminal law of New York State. Notwithstanding the
high character of all you did in 1908, Notwithstanding your
willingness and ability to do more of it, the laws of New York
State are such that your Company near the close of the year
had to slow down the busy wheels or risk committing a mis-
demeanor.
This particular law-Section SO of the Insurance Laws of
New York-has been in full force for two years. 1t places an
arbitrary limitation on the legitimate activities of life insur-
ance men. Its direct effect on your Company has been the re-
duction of a plant capable of insuring 10000 people a year to
a plant insuring less than $4,000 people a year. 1t has reduced
our outstanding business about $66yO00000 and reduced the
number of families protected by our gid by about 10000.
Aside from all questions of its consttutionality and the
such legislation, the law is a curious one for New York State
TO enact. New York is the Empire State and boasts of 1t.
1t has a city which, with reason, aspires to the commercial and
financial supremacy of the world. The story of the city and
the State is filled with the names of great men and is the record
of great achievements. The State and the city are what they
are, not alone because of their location, but chiefly because the
men of the State and of the city have strongly utilized great
opportunities.
It was strange logic which impened the Legislature of
such a State to conclude that admitted evils in a great business
could be cured by limiting its volume. The Legislature of the
State has never before applied this doctrine to any business,
and in my judgment the people do not approve such lssis-

REuGION RESULT OF
INSTINCT FOR FOOD
and SEX, new THEORY

Chicago, July 14.-Religion Is an
outgrowth of the two primal instincts
for food and sex, so DR.. Edward 3.
Ames, assistant professor OF philos-
ophy in the University Of Chicago. set
forth today in a dissertation start
lingly at variance with the accepted
history of the subject.
Illustrating his thesis with specific
examples Of the ritual and ceremon-
ial Of tribes in their relation to the
basic human endowments. he traced
convincingly the parallelism OF the
religions Of today.
Seal and fish are the means OF life
to the Eskimo and those are the CEN
trail objects in his religion, the ac-
tivities involved in their capture and
use being the models for his rituals" "
I'm these instincts the life Of the
species is involved. The individual
here asserts a will greater than his
own. The supreme demand Of nature
is for a new generation. Throughout
the whole scale of life the event safe
guarded by the most urgent impulses
Is that OF procreation.
when that is accomplished the
parent is OF value only in protecting
the young. Nature demands every
risk. every effort to effect the Gre
alton and to provide for the welfare
OF the new generation. Religion, as
the deepest and most comprehensive
expression OF the will to live is an
embodiment, in more or less obvious
and direct ways. OF the sexual in
stinct."

alton OF railroads should be distrib-

a mileage basis and that narrow
gauge mileage should be counted the
same as broad gauge and no attertion
should be paid terminal facilities or

G. valuation and the southwestern
counties will gain from 5000 to
