If this is really a sale, dummy trustees would be obliged to vote for dummy di rectors. The 28 directors to represent the policy-holders will be really selected by the management or Its agents, who will cease to be agents very quickly if they don't Influence the policy-holders to select the right directors. The policy-holders know only the local agents, but a mutual management Is far less responsible than a stock management, for the stockholders, being Interested as far as their stock Is concerned, have at any rate something at stake."
