GROWTH OF LIFE INSURANCE

which Produce the
Premiums.

CHICAGO, Dec. s.-The fourth annual
ance Presidents opened its session here
today with Pau Morton, president Of the
Equitable Life Assurance society, presid-
ing. Mr.. Morton, In his opening address,
proclaimed the west the future center Of
insurance activities, declaring that the
star OF insurance, like the star Of empire.
westward takes its way" He said:
American life insurance never stood so
well; never was so safe or surrounded
by so many safeguards and never Of
fered the public SO much for its
money as It does today. The ex-
pense of management is being curtailed.
Economies of all kinds have been intro
duced, and dividends to pollcyholders are
being increased. The chief ambition Of the
Association Of Life Insurance Presidents is
to emphasize the fact that these great life
insurance companies belong to the people,
and that nothing in the way Of regulation,
taxation or legislation can be done to in
lure them, which the policyholders win
not have to pay for themselves.
How Businesas Has Grown.
Fifty years ago life insurance in the
United states averaged S5.25 per capita.
Ten years ago it had risen to S99 per capita
and today it is estimated as amounting to
about $3.50 per capita. Fifty years ago the
total outstanding life insurance carried by
all old line life insurance companies doing
business in the United States was less than
that now carried by Illinois companies
alone. Within fifty years the volume of
life insurance business has increased from
100000 to $l3,7OO 900, 900, almost one hun
dred fold, though in that time the popula-
ton Of the United States has increased
less than three-fold
Western people will be glad to know that
as general proposition the eastern life
insurance companies are making an effort
to invest their reserve funds in those sec
tons Of the country which produce the
premiums. l know of one large life insur-
ance company which five years ago had
real estate mortgages in only eleven diff
Ierent states, but which today has them
In thirty-one different states. l know Of
one company which has 100000 less in
mortgage loans in New York City than 1t
had five years ago and which during that
time has increased its mortgage loans in
other states about $ls,OOOOOO"
