that interferes with this conception
by touching the affairs of America
makes it necessary that America
should assert her right America has

COST OF SECURING

Commissioner Eastman Com.

age Of Lapses.
NO FIGURES ON COST


Lincoln, July 22.-(Special. )-Ae-
cording to the forthcoming report Of
Insurance Commissioner Eastman,
during the year 1915 sixty legal re-
serve life insurance companies oper-
ated in this state, thirty-five being
stock companies with capital and sur
plus of nearly $76000,OOO, and TWEEN
ty-6ve of them mutual companies
with unassigned funds or surplus
funds Of nearly $l09,000,000.
Premiums for eYar.
These sixty companies, eleven OF
which are Nebraska corporations, re-
ceived in premiums last year from
Nebraska business $6,679, 492, which
was seven-tenths of / per cent of the
total income received by such COM
panies from their entire business in
the United States.
The Nebraska losses incurred by
these sixty companies in 1915
amounted to $780,, 1874, which was a
little more than two-tenths Of | per
cent o fthe total disbursements oil
such companies in the United States
No figures are available, according
to Commissioner Eastman, to show
the cost of producing business in Ne.
braska, but the relation of premium
income to losses incurred is as fol-
lows:
Premium Income In Nebraska. .S6,s7s, 40;
Nebraska losses incurred. ....... 1,6s2.39i
Total in Force.
The total amount OF life insurance
in force in Nebraska December 81
1915, carried by these sixty com.
panies was $24o, 1921. Based on
this figure, the Nebraska premium
income averages 1914 per $1,000 oil
insurance, in force, or, in other words
the Nebraska premium income aver
ages $6.25 per $1,000.

Numerous Lapses.
Thus, the surrenders, lapses and
changes OF life insurance policies in
Nebraska during 1915 equal 56.2 pei
cent of the entire business written
that year. This showing; if carefully
analysed, will undoubtedly reveal a
phase of life insurance business
which is not to be commended. In
