The old saying that competition is the life of trade still holds
good in some of its applications, but in others it may be ruinous,
says the Mining Record. In some spheres of business activity,
where competition naturally drives participants to extremes, the sac
rifces made may be too great even for the pretense of undertaking
and overseeing a competitor, simply because the relations existing
between. cost and sale price are SC complex as to conceal the sacri-
flee. Careless bookkeeping may hide the economic folly OF a given
policy of management.
We note. for example, that the fraternaI insurance orders have
fix the minimum premium rates that may be charged to members.
The reason is that long experience has established certain rates as
absolutely necessary to the perpetuadon of a system of life fhsuf-
ance- Mortuary statistics are subject to very little change, and the
average insurance value of a death benefit scarcely varies. Never
theless, it is said that the more reliable fraternal orders have suffer
ed from competition with other mushroom organizations, which in
sst upon offering insurance benefits at less than experience die
tates. Theses organizations are able to do this, because in the be-
ginning of their careers the ratio of death losses to premium income
is not apt to be so great as subsequently, when the members ad-
vance in age and the risks mature. The practice amounts to remit
ting more OF the value of the insurance than the system can stand,
but the fact is not observed until years have passed, while the I'M
thinking are apt to be influenced by the lower rate, while neglecting

special message sent by President Roosevelt to both houses of con-

mission has compiled their findings in a most compact and reliable
form.

column further tnan to say every voter should uphold the hands
of the president in this great undertaking, the details of which are
fully set forth in his message, printed elsewhere in this issue of the

who put 1t ut 40 per cent, but 1t is
generally acceptei by economists
that food constitutes the chief ele-
ment of cost to the individual. Now
after several weeks of discussion, the
senate has voted for the maintenance
of the Dingley rates upon many nee
essaries. In some cases the
rate hs., been sharply advanced This
was notably the case in connection
with the sugar schedule and the
schedule covering agricultural pro-
ducts.
The general consensus of opinion
now at Washington is that President
Taft will not veto the tariff bill as
finally passed. The possibility OF
a veto is taken seriously by no one.
1t is practically certain that Aldrich
can have his own way in the renate,
ard can have adopted any conference
bill that he presents. The president
