eral has undertaken to do, that
the nation has a right to be
thankful for, says the Tulsa
World. That is that the princi-
pal at issue has been given a
tryout and all the results have
been conducive to popular
condemnation of the principle,
and it is very likely that from
now on the advocates Of govern
ment ownership or anything will
have hard time getting any
body to listen to their argu-
ments. There are some very able
men who have championed the
idea that the government should
take ownership and control Of
all public utilities, 50 that there
should be a more certain re-
course open TO the people and
more confidence that individual
rights would not be submerged in
corporate interest. The idea
has had great appeal to many
as a panacea for all ills of labor
and security for investors. But
the experiments Of McAdoo and |
Burleson have killed that notion |
so dead that even Bill Bryan or
Eugene Debs could hardly resur-
rect it. We have found that gov
eminent control costs more, both
to the operator and to the custo-
mer and renders less satisfactory
service than the average of pri-
vately owned facilities.
We should congratulate our
selves that the experiment has
had its trial now rather than that
propaganda should later have
swept the country and committed
rs mrevocably to the paternal
plan. This experiment of govern
nent operation has been one Of
he most fortunate chapters in

The property affected IS that of
the policy holders held for the pro-

through the death of the bread

whose twentyyear endowment in
surance policy is just maturing will
receive paid-up policy worth
just half what he had expected when
he began paying insurance prem

ton, according to Mr.. Woodward,
explains the vast growth Of prem

and understood if life insurance
companies are to play their part in
telligently in the era Of reconstruc-
ton.
An Interesting feature of the
present boom in insurance business
is the growth of group insurance,
now in its seventh year. Originally
tried as an experiment by one large
company, it is now being taken uL
by many others.
1t provides means whereby the
employer at a cost of about S12
per $ 600, insures all his employees
at no cost to them. The Union
Pacific Railroad Company has thus
insured $4,000 employees; the Good
rich rubber people, $4,000; Stand
ard Oh, $4,000; the Du Points, 21,-
coo. Usually an employee must
serve SIX months before he is efigi-
bic fer this insurance. which has
no cash Or loan value
Il ranges from 81, 900 to $4,000.
No examination is required. Every
employee is insured automatically
for the. sake Of cementing indus
trial relations About 100000 men
are insured in this way by one
company alone. And the story goes
that workmen are now beginning to
ask, when they seek employment.

Science Benefits Young

At present there is little evidence
to show that people are living much
longer This II because most Of the
benefits of modern medical science
go to the young. Infant mortality
and tuberculosis are being greatly
reduced, but that victory over death
will not show in the mortality tables
for many years. Mean time Older
persons have no such aid to prolong
their lives, but are actually threat
ened with an alarming increase in
the degenerating diseases Of heart
and nerve strain.
Prohibition, however, is going to
prolong life, all insurance men
agree. Tie moderate drinker, in
surance men say, : q poor risk, and
he heavy drinl.er very bad risk.
