ing talk, Mr.. Clark pointed out the
appalling waste resulting from lap
sations and surrender of insurance.
Much. OF this. he declared. could be
saved through the medium of syste-
matte effort on the part of each in
dvidual agent especially in the dis
couraging of loans against policy con-
tracts.
Loans for 1918 amounted to fully
Is per cent of the reserve or approx
mately ST20,000.000, according %
figures in hand, he said. and it is esti-
mated that 81 per cent of these out
standing loans will never be paid back
prior to the maturity of the policy or
its surrender, thus working untold
hardships on widows and orphans, the
principal beneiiciaries.
In this connection 1t may be stated
that bill is now pending in the Nlr-
Einia legislature designed to check
this extensive borrowing on policies.
The measura which vas introduced at
the instance of Commissioner Button,
requires that six months notice be
given before a loan can be secured.
Similar bills are being introduced in
other legislatures throughout the
country.
MIR. clark also touched on Whit ne
termed the constant increase of taxa
ton against the premium income of
life insurance companies by the sew
eral States. and he told how the Ma
tional association had been instrument
tai in preventing the threatened In
crease in this burden by the federal
government during the recent consid-
GRAFTON Of the income tax measure of
the tariff bill.
