company. These participating COM
panies have been, and are now
charging the policyholders, from
three to seven dollars per thousand,
more than is necessary, and at the
end of the year, this overcharge is
refunded to the policyholder, and is
mis-called DIVIDENDS; when as a
matter of fact it is only the return
of this overcharge. The CENTRAL
LIFE and other STOCK companies
issue policies at the net rate, and do
not collect any Overcharge, for the
purpose of making the policyholder
think that he is receiving an earning
or dividend on his premiums placed
with the company. For years,
STOCK companies have claimed that
this overcharge is unnecessary. The
participating companies have always
resented this claim; but recently in
order to be relieved from the United
States Corporation Tax they have
admitted the claim, and now say
themselves that the payments which
they return to the policyholder at
stated periods, is the return of excess
premiums, and not in any sense
a DIVIDEND or EARNING. l quote
a portion of the report to policy
holders, over the signature of Geo.
c. Markham, President of the North
western Mutual Life: During the
past year the company has paid to
its members a total of s12,915,-
5l4.4S commonly described as divi-
dends. AS matter of fact these
are not dividends as that term is Or

dinarily used, but this amount repre-
sents an aggregate of those margins
of premiums paid which the company
has found unnecessary to use, in
meeting it's engagements, and there
fore returns, with interest" The
public shall remember that this $12,-
5,514.4S was collected from the
policyholders, hence the reason of its
return. I quote also portion of the
69th annual report of the Mutual
Life of New York, by their Presi-
dent, Chas. A. Peabody: From the
beginning of American Life Insur-
ance the premium refund made at
stated periods to policyholders, has
been referred to IS DIVIDENDS. In
reality they are not profits, nor are
they DIVIDENDS in any proper
sense Numerous other companies
can be quoted, who have admitted
that there are no such a thing as
DIVIDENDS in Life Insurance. Now
that insurance authority, and the
so-called dividend companies them
selves, acknowledge that there are
no DIVIDENDS in Life Insurance,
surely the few who continue to
think that there are DIVIDENDS in
Life Insurance should be classed
with the few who continue to think
the earth is fiat, simply because it
looks so. The agent who misrepre-
'sents rather than represents life
Insurance company, is the only one
who has gall enough to continue
talking DIVIDENDS. The test of Life
Insurance is its results; its value is

An Explanation.
Manager

By Walter Terrell, Dist. Manager
of THE CENTRAL LIFE.
Recently in this paper, over my
signature, was an advertisement per-
tanning to one of the technical
phrases of Life Insurance, which read
as follows-"There is absolutely no
such thing as a DIVIDEND in Life
Insurance. Many have questioned
the truth of this statement, and a
few who are not familiar with the
subject have completely disputed it.
However, the statement is positively
true Participating Cor so-called
dividend) companies, for years have
misled the public, and willfully ed
ucated their policyholders to believe
that there was a speculative feature
about their kind of Life Insurance.
and that the policyholder received a
DIVIDEND on the premium pay
ments, which they placed with the
