tomerrow's meeting will produce some new developments to prevent a termination. and on the French side tonight the idea seemed to be that the experts committee would be enjoined to reconsider their de- cisions. But 1t was admitted any thing of this nature would only be provisional and that still another allied conference would be required
 Members of the French delegation tonight were confident of an agree ment. It is understood this was M Poincares own view. The French spokesman said tonight that M. Poincare and MT. Lloyd George were standing nearer together since the conference met than has been commonly supposed outside. Tho sharp differences had been among the experts.

The annual statement of The Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company shows
how its policyholders feel about the mat
ter, because of ali the insurance issued by
it in 1921, more than 1870 was issued
upon applications of men already insured
in the Northwestern. That is pretty good
evidence that Eolicyholders consider the
Company fair and square,, and when
a company forms the habit it will con-
tinue to be fair and square" after its
policies mature
A policy natures" when it becomes pay
able to the insured or to the beneficiary or
benedciaries named therein. 1t is OF the
utmost importance that company always
have sufficient funds with which to pay
claims promptly when called upon TO do so.
The law requires all life insurance oOmpa-
MES constantly to maintain q sinking fund
for that purpose and prescribes the method
of computing the fund.- which IS called the
reserve. On January l, 1922 the law
required the Northwestern to have re-
serve" amounting to over $50 million doll
lars, and on that day it had assets to the
amount of 507 million dollars. If these as
sets were good, then the reserve was safe.
Just exactly how good these assets are
may be judged from the fact that 224 mil
lion dollars of them. are in first lien, real
estate mortgages (155 million in farm and
90 million in city 1oans) on property val
ued at 724 million; $50 million in United
States and other high-grade bonds, and
rs million in advances made to policy
holders upon the security Of the cash
value Of their own policies.
The statement shows that the Northwest
ern had reserve for contingencies" over
all liabilities amounting to some "a million
dollars
The Northwestern did not break any rec
ords in writing new policies in 1921, but it
progressed and prospered. 1t had the big
gest and best financial year in its history,
permitting it to continue its established
dividend scale" throughout 1922. This
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1922-03-31

means that the cost of insurance to its
polcyholders will be less in 1922 than it
was in 1921.
IF policyholders have noticed, every time
they pay their premiums, they get re-
fund. We have all become accustomed
to refer to this refund as dividend.
It is not a dividend, however, in the.
commercial sense. Here is how it arises:
Premiums in mutual company are COM
puted with an allowance for safety and
when the cost of the insurance for the
year is ascertained, any excess is returned
to policyholders. The net cost of insur-
ance, therefore, depends upon this refund
of the unused part Of the premium.
Pocvholders are interested in eexpenses", for the
smaller the expenses the larger the dividends
One item of expense should interest policyholders
especially, and that is taxes. For the privilege
of doing business for their policyholders life in
surance companies subject to heavy burdens
of taxation, both state and national. Taxes are
charged as an expense and if they did not exist,
the net cost of insurance would be just that much
lower.
DESPITE this heavy item, The Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company has kept up, and we be-
Ieve it will keep up its refunds to poicyholders;
and this it can do because Of careful selection Of
risks, expert and advantageous investments OF
funds and rigid economy of management

required annually to appoint an Examining Com
n1ittee, consisting of five men wEo are not interest
ed in the Company in any way except as policy
holders, to make complete examination of it.

Antoine Kuckuk. of Sfawano, Wisconsin, as

Mr.. LenrOot was said to have told the
conference that unless the tariff bill was
passed by Aug. Is, he would support a
motion to displace that measure for con-
sideration of the bonus bill. I'm that
reservation he was understood to have
the support of Mr.. McCumber. Their
hopes were that such an understanding
would place Democrats filibusting against
the tariff bill, in the position of delaying
consideration of the bonus legislation.
Following the conference some Demo
Gratis sent kilograms to absentees urging
them to be present following passage of
the naval bill. Among the twentyone
Republicans not attending the conference,
