FIFTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT -ofthi: - CONNECTICUT MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

In such a y.-ar enterprise loses mach of its usual reward, ami'thc best results in marly any business ar- tims, accomplished at leael cst while maintaining the efficiency of the working machinery snd awaiting such favorable change as wm allow n satisfactory amount of business io be done at usual cost and without strain. KflTei-l on lliinliiens. Especially ls this true In the business of life in? surance, its cost ls usually reckoned as a part of one's expanses; and when money is hard to come at and profits are little, atnl perhaps noth? ing, new expens.-s an- nol readily undertaken, the usual ones an- often curtailed and business .shrinks. Under such conditions a large volume .-r new business can bs malStalned In only one way; by stub concessions on the llrst premium as tempi S new Insurer to take a policy which costs hun little or nothing the first year, and which be gets at ihe expense of the older policy? holders whose money hus lo make up the de Hciency caused by what the "new blood'' costs bul fails Mi pay. Were any given quantity of new business In iiiiy ,,ne year necessary tn the stability nf a com? pany- as it might I..- wen- the company new and us amount at risk as yet ton small for a safe av? erage experienc! there might he a reason for keeping up a pace even at increased cst, if the business so gottel were likely tn stay by. inn there is ip. company of mir class (bung business to-day :n any such situation; nor any which cap. not afford to let its new business vary with the conditions affecting th.- volume nf .-v.-ry other business, excepi those which have attached to tb.- simple methods nf legitimate life Insurance certain wholly extraneous features which create necessities ..f rh-ir own .-uni dominate th- Itua (ton. Tin- "accumulated dividend" companies, some cf which ar.- losing $12.^**1,000 and up? ward .^f --ld business every year, atnl must keep a m ry ur-at amount nf business going in order to keep up th.- laps-s and forfeitures necessary to provide th. ir "ai I umulated surplus" nr tontine fund, have tried to educate tin- public t" believe thal a gresi "new business" ami a great "amount at risk" were thc true measures ..f success, and : pv t.-i that their choice Hes between keeping up tb" inflow nt any coat, b*" any effective means, and such a shrinkage ps they cannot contemplate with equanimity However that may be, the vicious ;in.l costly methods of competition are continued. tn lilenl Position. Th- Connecticut Mutual ls happily under th" sm-ss of no circumstances, natural or artificial. requiring il to force its business beyond thecon dltlons ..f th.- tiipe. its position is Ideal, .'ind that tO which every company OUghl t0 strive tn ;M tain, a business so large as to give absolute Bte billty In its average experience, yet not so large but that in good times ap l under fair condltl -is :t can be maintained without difficulty, even al? lowing f'-r nc asi .pal and - onsiderable shrink? ages in bad times, a standard of solvency bevi od question, Investments worthy such a trust, and an expense account bo small as p. Ki-.-e th-* largest possible saving t-. policy-holders nnd so adjusted that, whether Ita business Increases or shrink;. || win not have tn cut its dividends on that account Thar ls tb.- position wc Occupy, Po far as the absolute safety nf eve.*y present policy-holder ls concern',1. nr sn far as bis future dividends would be affected, lt is not necessary that we should ev.-r write another new policy. The com I any would pay mit tn the very last man and maintain Mp- sam- relative high dividends with? out lt. The only r-as..n for taking new business ls that we mpv give t.. new famine* the Barn* s-'ii;, snd cheap protection that tims.- of mir pre** nt member, ar* getting. The latter nave no need whatever fur any new business. And. therefore, it is that, among all th- struunies for first place as t-. BOW business and amount at risk among thc large companies, and those nf the smaller ones to keep somewhere in the race, the m.-pp- tlcul Mutual nae steadily refused to com i-1 ? for pew bimini ss at tin- .--st of present pol? icy-holders What weean get wlthoul reducing their dividends we take; vvhat wc can't v- - to whose Inducements t" agenta and speculative proposals and momentary temptations m. new men are great, but wh-.s. .livid, mis p. ,,id members arc smaller, in k.1 times we more or lesa enlarge ..ur business in hard times wo husband our strength, Indifferent I , id; - msideratl -ps except maintaining our standard of excelience. W ? ar- thUS explicit, not only because the mat? ter is apt p. these Mm<-s, but, also because in the competition "f business, it is commonly repre? sented i-y those whose ..ply point of comparison with us is in respect of new business an i amount at risk, that it is undesirable t . insure in a company which ls n il raid.Hy Increasing its business; that expenses would be less, dividends ? .nd securit) greater If we were pushing harder f-.r new business -upi getting more nf lt; .i statein.-nt whli ii is false in every sapect and ;.articular. Th. re must come a point with every company, no matter how rapid its present growth, beyond which lt cannot force an In? crease of Bise And several of Mp- largest com? panies are rapidly approai bing thal point, what v, ill be theil status then? Should the public, therefore, turn from them'.' if they win be then undesirable companies, why should th-y bc built up at all? If a corni any '""' Irulj desirable, prosperous. nnd spf.- only while and ..niy as it ls increasing its risks, then the more rapidly a company is growing to-day the fastr. ll is spproachlng up? time wh.n lt will bc no li nger desirable, pr-.s pi-rons, or safe, if 'bat la- so, nfc Insurance should !??'? summarily suppressed as an Inevitable s - indie. Mut, as mir expense rate js less thar, that of ?my other company, and only about half that ..f th- areal pushers, while our results to policy? holders are very much larc-r Mian theirs, and our stability greater and m.uv conservatively based, thc advantage to be derived from follow? ing their example would seem more than doul t ful, especially in view of thc heavy and contin? uous reductions they have niade nnd are still making in their dividends, while we have main? tained -"ir scale.
