60. During this period the excess
premiums received less death claims
paid) is accumulated as a reserve
fund and put into various types of
investments. After go the situation
turns about-death claims exceed
premium income and the reserve
funds are drawn on and gradually
exhausted. If the reserve funds are
not lost through unwise or dishonest
investment or destroyed by initiation,
then everything will work out ac-
cording to the calculations of the
insurance company satisticians.
Now it is a fact that the decade
before 1929 was a period of most
phenomenal growth for the life in
surance business. Most of the in
surance OF the books in 1929 was
written in the preceding decade. The
average age of the policy holders as
a whole was under As years. Pre-
miums exceeded death claims by a
wide margin and reserves accumu-
lated rapidly until 1929. During the
depression period life insurance COM
panies were called on to pay out
very large sums as cash surrender
values and loans. So large however
was the margin of premiums over
death claims that the companies
could pay surrender values and loans
from the premium income without
drawing on their reserve funds and
without selling or liquidating securi-
ties.
This is the secret of the stability
Of life insurance during the depres-
sion years. The temporary action
of the law Of mortality removed the
necessity of widespread liquidation
of investment securities. With the
connivance of state insurance depart
ments, the life companies maintained
arbitrarily high book values for their
securities Con the grounds that mar
ket values were of no significance to
them). Now they can boast of their
unbroken record of increasing asset
values and proudly point to their
rugged balance sheets in proof there
of.

S~miih-Hughes vota-
tionaI Education
in Montana
Recent Federal Act Extends
Program.

During the past year Smith
Hughes vocational education was
carried on in SO schools in "a coun-
| ties in Montana. Glasses in trades
and industry were carried on in 10
all-day schools with 181 students,
in evening schools with an enroll
ment of AGO and with $40 students
in continuation schools. Vocational
agriculture was taught under this act
in 40 schools with 1,348 all-day stu
dents and 1874 part-time and evening
school students. In vocational home
Economics there were % schools with
a total enrolment of 1,076. Admin
"istration of the program is under the
direction of the State Department of
Public Instruction.
The Smith Hughes Act of 1917 pro-
vided for the promotion of vocational
education for the states and terri
tories. Other acts were enacted at
various times supplementing the
Smith-Hughes Act, authorizing funds
for the development of vocational
training in agriculture, home eco
monies and in trade and industry.
The most recent act, the George
Deem Act, was passed in 1887 and
was just signed by the President.
This act authorized on a permanent
basis increased appropriations for
the fields already aided and in addi-
ton authorized appropriations for
use in the field of the distributive
occupations.
The general purpose of the whole
vocational program is to foster
schools and classes to give thorough
vocation instruction to individuals to
the end that they may be efficiently
prepared for profitable employment.
1.-The vocational acts provide for a
plan of cooperation between the Fed
eral government and the states for
the promotion of vocational educa-
ton in the fields of agriculture,
trades and industry, home economics
and the commerce. The Federal gov
eminent does not undertake the or
ganization and direction of voca-
tional education in the states, but
does agree to make from year to
year substantial financial contribu-
tons to its support. The state or
local communities or both shall pro-
vide the necessary plant and equip
ment, determined upon by the State
Board with the approval of the Fed
/, eral office.
Federal money is provided either
for the payment of salaries or in
the preparation Of teachers. This is
provided upon condition that it be
matched by an equal amount ex-
pended for the same purpose by the
state, or the local community. In
Montana the state has appropriated
definite amounts for this purpose,
but the greatest portion of the match
ing funds comes from the local COM
munities which cooperate in this vo-
cational education.

Some Fads About
Life Insurance

The whole country was recently
subjected to the intensive ballyhoo OF
a so-called Life Insurance Week
Purpose of this publicity campaign,
organized by the life insurance COM
panies, was to demonstrate % that
life insurance is the safest possible
form of investment and ~ the ire
mendous social service rendered by
life insurance.
The fact that most of the better
known life insurance companies
came through the depression with
out cracking up is the biggest talk
ing point of the insurance statesmen
They ascribe this achievement to the
profoundly wise investment policy
of company management, to the di-
versification and conservatism of in
surance company investments, etc.
There are in fact certain peculiar
features of the life insurance bust
ness which account for its reputed
stability. The chief popularity is
that the life insurance business, fol-
the time being at least, has the law
of mortality on its side. This bio
logical law expresses the fact that
normally %(barring epidemics or war;
the rate of death increases slowly
with advancing age, until about age
55 or go, after which the death rate
increases rapidly. Expressing thi'
fact a little differently we may say
that as many deaths take place be-
tween ages so and 70 as between
ages 20 and go. Now a life insurance
policy is generally paid for by &
constant, unchanging permium run.
ming throughout life or for a term Of
years. If a group of people, for ex.
ample, take out policies at age 80
the premiums paid by the surviving
members of the group will exceed
death claims paid to the deceased
members every year until about age

TEACHERS RETIREMENT
FUND RECEIVES HELP
FROM LIQUOR SALES

When L. M. A. Wass, administrator
of the Montana Liquor Control
Board, declares the July dividend on
state liquor store profits, the first
money ever to be contributed to the
Teachers Retirement Fund, by
sources other than from the pockets
of the teachers themselves, will be
turned over to State Treasurer Ray
N. Shannon. Administrator Wass
estimates that the profit dividend
will approximate $4,000, which will
place in the Retirement Fund 81, 500.
The new law, passed by the last
Legislature and approved by Gov
ernor Roy E. Ayers, becomes effec-
tive on all profits of the state liquor
stores, ON and after July LIST, past.
Each month thereafter, the Retire
ment Fund will benefit by a flat five
percentum of liquor store profits, I'M
til it has received $4,000, for the
year 1887. Beginning in 1888, on
July 1st, the law provides that again
five per cent of the liquor profits of
the state stores be placed in the re-
tirement fund, until an additional
$4,000 has been reached.
Governor Is Pleased
Governor Ayers yesterday direct
ed public attention to the culmina-
ton of a long sought desire by the
public school teachers of Montana, to
provide for themselves a perpetual
retirement fund to secure for them
adequate compensation, when their
long service in teaching the young
idea how to shoot, has ended.
Teachers of Montana were among
the first to seek a retirement COM
pensation for their own protection
when their working days are ended
the Governor said. "They had enact
ed into law, back in 1915, the Teach
ers' Retirement Salary Fund, a most
progressive piece of legislation in
those days, but one which never ade-
quately met the needs of the pro-
f~ession, for retirement compensation.
Through the years, the teachers
have persistently sought to augment
their fund by revenues from other
sources. Legislatures, biennium after
biennium, turned down the requests
of the teachers for funds from tax
sources, feeling that the heavy bur-
den of school taxes should not be
augmented. But times and men have
changed, until today, society as a
whole, regards it good business to
provide not only old age compensa-
ton, but unemployment insurance
and other benefits. And so, after
their long fight, the teachers are
coming into a fuller measure of So
cial justice.
1T gives me great pleasure to have
the teachers reach their goal in my
administration. The profits of the
state liquor system, under its present
efficient administration, will easily
provide the $150,00O for the bien-
mum, which is the goal of the bill,
and the money is provided without
adding, in any way, to the heavy
burden of taxes paid by the indus
tries, the home owners and the farm
ers of Montana"

The prospect for the future is diff
ferent. The period of rapid growth
of life insurance is over. The COM
panies now are just about holding
their own. The average age of their
policyholders is increasing. The pro-
portion of death claims to premiums
is also increasing. The next period
of economic crisis will see the COM
panies forced to liquidate securities
to meet the inevitable demand for
cash surrender values and loans. In
stead Of supporting the security mar
kets, as they did to a certain degree
in 1929-32, they will be unloading
along with the rest of the stock mar
ket spectators.
Officers of insurance companies are
of curse well aware of this situa-
ton. It is an open secret that they
are counting on the government to
pull them out if the crack-up comes.
They expect the federal reserve
banks or some other government
agency will be empowered to re-
discount or purchase the bonds and
mortgages they have invested in. To
put it simply, they expect the gov
eminent to buy their securities with
some kind of new money" They
are definitely counting on some form
of governmental inflationary pro-
cedure to be set in motion to save the
life insurance companies and Of
course other financial institutions

facts on what life insurance costs
