Do You Receive Dividends i?

Do You Receive Dividend?
"New members are necessary to
maintain insurance dividend (Re-
fund on premium. What bunk!
Should we rob Paul to pay Peter?
Would you consent to the Use of
your premiums to earn money for
an older policy holder? Someone
would have to lose eventually.
The refund on premium ESQ
called dividend) is in no way de-
pendent upon new members nor are
new members necessary to enable
upon a proper basis to meet its
death and disability liabilities as
h ey, ma ture. The premiums
charged are based upon the Ameri-
can Experience Table Mortality and
are sufficient to care for all such
liabilities.
The so-called dividend paid by in
surance companies is an amount
which was added to the base prem
ium to care for the variations in
death rates, operating expenses and
earning power of the company's
funds. If the company has been
fortunate in having a low death
rate, small operating expenses and
good returns on investments it has
not had to use the additional
amount charged in it's premiums
and can, therefore, return it to the
insured. In other words they re-
fund part of the premium charged
the sso-called dividend.
Uncle Sam pays all operating ex-
penses of the Government Insur-
ance Department thereby giving the
insured the benefit of not only part
but all of the amount usually
charged to cover these expenses.
The death rate among those car
rying Government insurance should
be less than that of any other in
surable class because the great mai
ority of those insured are under 40
years of age while any insurance
company will insure any good risk
up to age so and in some cases
beyond that age. Under Govern
ment insurance all deaths due to
war disabilities are paid for by the
taxpayers. AS the death rate at
40 and above is considerably more
than it is under 40 a far greater
mortality saving is possible under
Government than other insurance.
The United States invests its in
surance funds in Interest bearing
obligations of the u. S." and is sure
it will lose nothing through failures
and bad investments but on the
other hand will receive a constant
return thereby making possible as
great if not a larger interest saw
ing on Government policies than
others can make. Remember the
dividend depends upon the three
savings, Mortality, Expense aad In
terest.
How then can the fact no Gov
eminent Term insurance will be re-
instated after March 8. 1925 affect
these savings?
