Tx OTta END ozr RECETrvEB.-To prevent
policy holders deriving any benz from the
little that a corrupt or incompetent manage
ment has left them, by absorbing it them
solves%
Insurance, fire, life, or marine, is a fair,
square, legitimate business. You buy pro
ect.on; nothing else. If you suffer a loss
you secure indemnity for that loss, and noth
ing else. Not one cent for sentiment. Insu
rance as an investment whereby to make
money is simply bosh.
When will people learn to beware of co
duperative life insurance? See the fate of the
champion organization of that ilk in the
world, viz: the "Protection Life of Chicago,"
.and in future be wise, and buy your insurance
of a legitimate institution. Then you know
what you buy, and what you are to pay for
It; more, you get what you buy.
THE CHIEF END OF INBURANCE COMMIM
IIONEBs.-To make many figures with which
,to amaze the people; to demand the appoint
ment of receivers, when they can no longer
bolster up the fortunes of decaying compa
nies; to become frightened when the people
.are excited, and in their fright nearly wreck
solvent companies; to wear a large dignity,
and look big generally.
The Charter OaK.
It is cause for gratification that this com
pany has escaped the hands of the wreckers,
and is like, under a new, energetic and com
potent management, to work outof its present
difficulties. President Jewell says that he
intends:
To take care of the policy-holders, pay their
claims and get their confidence, which can be
done well enough by cutting down expenses,
right and left, and stopping all speculations.
That's what the public and policy-holders
want and shall have, if I have anything to do
with it.
Now let the policy-holders meet him half
way and do manfully their part, and all will
in good time be well. Meanwhile the com
pany has, without doubt, been largely
damaged, say $750,000 to $1,000,000, by the
hasty and ill-considered action of the State
Insurance Department; for which damage
the State should be liable.
ielnsurance.
Perhaps the greatest evil that over afflicted
the business of life insurance is the facility
with which sinking companies have been able
to effect a wholesale reinsurance of their
risks. By this means the officers of the ruined
company avoid the responsibility of their own
criminal intent, negligence or ignorance,
their duped policy holders are given the choice
(4?) of going into a company not of their own
choosing, or losing what they have already
invested, as they thought, in protection.
On the other hand, the company which re
insures the retiring one, while largely swell
ing the figures which enter into its statement
of assets, income, policies in force, etc.,
naturally and inevitably takes in alarge num
ber of impaired risks, and, to the extent that
this is done, violates its obligations toward its
own policy holders. If the retiring company
has not assets sufficient to its liabilities, how
can it turn over to any other concern assets
that are sufficient ? True, they calculate, and
justly, that there will be many lapses; so
much the worse, for the impaired risks always
hold on ; and the reinsuring company gene
rally finds itself in the end in the condition of
the frog who would, whether or no, rival the
ox in size.
To secure to policy holders the protection
for which they have paid and to which they
are entitled, enact laws absolutely forbidding
such reinsurance; laws inflicting the severest
criminal penalties upon life insurance officers
guilty of misconduct or negligence, and then
so rigidly enforce those laws as to make them
a real and literal terror to evil doe s.
