Appropriation of $25O,OOO for the
tariff board to make possible the en-
ployment of special agents to investi-
gate the cost of production here and
abroad and other matters relating to
the tariff, looks good in the statement
issued by Representative Tawney.
But the tariff board will not have
power to summon witnesses or compel
the submission of papers, or to hold
public hearings at which all sides to
a controversy may be heard in the
open. and therefore the investigations
provided for are to be secret and car
.ried on by special agents who will
probably be appointed upon the rec
ommendation of Postmaster General
Hitchcock and made a part of his po-
litical machine. 1t is impossible for
anyone having knowledge of the way
the government is run to imagine that
Hitchcock would appoint anyone who
would under any circumstances report
that the Payne Aldrich tariff law is
increasing the cost of living.
Such an investigation as would be
likely by men who would be appointed
by the Republican party's political
manager would, it is feared, be far
worse than none, for the information
collected in this manner might be
urged upon the country as affording
reasons for the maintenance of exor-
bitant and unjust tariff rates.
The Republican leaders seem de-
termined to in some manner gather
statistics which will appear to show
that the new tariff law is blameless.
The figures are wanted for use in the
approaching congressional elections.

important Considerations

It is possible in this statement to
summarize only a few of the most
important matters which have been
dealt with comprehensiyely by the
several department officers in their
annual reports. The expected mol
tally for the year was S1.644697 So,
while only $1,000, 53297 was expert
enced, creating saving from that
source alone Of $780, 1886. The ac-
tual to expected mortality in the life
group was 64.09 per cent, in the en-
dowment 5752 per cent and in the
term SO 40 per cent and the rate of
experienced loss on the total business
was CLOS per cent This most graf
flying experience is strong proof Of
the care and skill with which the bus
mess has been distributed, selected
and placed The interest and rents
received amounted to $2,053,0 4S.3S
but with allowance for interest due
and accrued the gross earnings were
S2164,14 1861 against which the COM
pany charges $70,46S65 as the invest
ment expense. This leaves the sum
of S2,093,677 net interest earned of
which $147S,522.22 was needed TO
maintain the policy reserves, thus
leaving S615,155.74 as the amount of
surplus interest earned. During the
year the company also had a profit
from insurance loadings of S5S,39S47,
as compared with $i79l5.99 for the
year preceding and with losses of
| $t59,4 SO in 1906, $236,23 .65 in 1905
and $24O,031.23 in 1904 These favor
able changes are the result both of
an actually greater economy and of
the securement of a larger outstand-
ing insurance without increasing the
fixed charges of maintenance.
The reserves released on surren-
dered policies equalled sl,O97 O5S.O4
and the cash values allowed thereon
81, 0SS, 1924, leaving surrender
charge Of $5S,S25.70. The book res.
erves released on lapsed policies
amounted to $2S,939.24 while there
was itemized a decrease in surrender
values unpaid of $2,44043. This gave
a total gain from cancelled insurance
of $90,205S7 The annuity work
shows what is called an actuarial
loss" of $2752z9l Twenty-three an
nuitants died during the year, discon
tinuing annual payments of SS,137 19
and releasing terminal reserves OF
| $59,75224. Taking these twenty con
tracts by themselves they supplied
the company a gross consideration OF
$7I5lO04 while the gross outgo on

their account was S53,34l.93, leaving
a profit, over and above interest earn
ed of s24.16S.1l. This last item, sim
ilarly computed for the preceding
year was S26,1ll.1S.
The general surplus of the com
pany, after providing for 1910 divi-
dends and every increase in deferred
surplus accounts, is now S1,SS6,270.62
which is an increase over the preced-
ing year of $363,37S93 and amounts
to 4.66 per cent of the policy reserv-
es.
Liability Accounting
The reserve liability is composed of
three large items. The first, repres-
enting assurances issued prior to Jan
uary /, 1901, is computed in accord
ance with the Combined Experience
or Actuaries' Table and 4 per cent
interest, the second, representing the
issues of the last nine years, is COM
puted according to the American Elk
perience Table and 3 per cent inter
est, and the third the annuity bust
ness, is all reserved according to Ia
bles adopted by the New York Insur
ance Department and S15 per cent in
terest with distinctions for sex. The
total reserve is s40,2Sl 200 as pub
lished in this report, $5179 more thar
calculated by the actuaries of the
Vermont Insurance Department who
certify to S40,276,021.
There is also included in liabilities
