Deplores Borrowing On Insurance
Policies
10 me Editor Of The Times


10 me Editor Of The Times.
Was much Interested N the ar
ticles in your issue OF Feb 5. written
and copyrighted by Herbert Quick In
which ho inquiries why shouldn't IN
surance policy AOlders borrow half d
billion on policies? Now. while
have great admiration anu respect
Tor the learning and torcoful style Of
Mr.. Quick. / must submit the asser-
ton that he mas greatly misjudged
the motive or the officers OF the iie
insurance companies in their attitude
towards the exercise OF the loan prlyi-
lege
The FIRST concern OF Grst-class
company is for the welfare. not neces-
sarily for its policy-holders, but more
largely for that OF the benehciaries.
When a man insures he does a very
unselAsh and praiseworthy act. be is
not thinking principally OF his own
benefit and interests, but OF those de
pending on him FOR support and he
continues this unselhshness often az
considerable privation 10 himself by
the payment OF the premiums 10 keep
the protection in force. The moment
he secures a loan on that policy he
decreases by the amount OF such loan
the protection 10 his family and when
we consider that probably the greater
part OF this half billion In outstand
Ing loans is on policies carried by
heads OF families. and also consider
that the use OF the loan privilege Is
rapidly on tire increase We can easily
understand why the executives Of the
big companies are somewhat worried
and thinking OF some mildly restrain
ing means
II they looked a; the matter from
a selfish standpoint, they would be
inclined 10 encourage rather than dis
courage such loans for the rehson that
as Mr. Quick asserts IL Is on the best
possible security and besides ia the
easiest looked after and I'm every way
the best paying investment which the
companies have on their books. Bor-
rowing in time OF need 10 pay pre-
miums Is. OF course. proper, and In
line with the general idea or insur-
ance protection for dependents, but 10
borrow on policy Just because II is
an easy way to get money for uses
not very important Is a wrong to the
beneficiary and as such Is not looked
on with favor bv the leading life In

a little two.line bill went through the
senate by unanimous consent when
nobody was looking. It's title said
something about extending the time
FOR the completion OF the "Rainey
river bridge" AS matter OF fact
the bill refers to the celebrated
Rainey river dam which was the sub

ground that the federal government

grants were made In navigable rivers

river Is located in Minnesota near the
Canadian border. and the company Is
a large manufacturer OF wood pulp

the close OF Rooseyelt's administra-

largely by the water power interest
mustered big enough vote TO pass
II over the presidents veto. This was
followed by the veto In the James
river dam case. and since then the
conseryationists have held the power
grabbers in check. The Rainey
bridge bin is being watched in the
house. Taken In connection with the
Roanoke river bill, the Indications
are that the water-power people are
determined 20 use the Democratic
party. n they can, TO reverse the con-
servation policy which has so far pro-
tected these valuable water power
sites.
