The Company is sound in every part That it retains the confidence of its members and that its assets art
of a high order is conclusively shown by the fact that its cash income during 1907 was over $102,000,000.
It is efficiently serving directly one million people, indirectly probably five millions, resident In every country
of the civilized world. It could with increased economy and mutual advantage better
serve directly, two millions of people and indirectly ten millions.
As one of the forces in society which foster self-respect, cultivate providence, prudence and responsibility, it
ought, in common with all kindred movements, to be allowed unlimited opportunity, under full publicity.. At the
present time this Company is by the State limited in its efficiency, limited in its usefulness, and limited in the pro
visions which it may make for the security of your contracts.
In 1905 the membership of this Company was disturbed and alarmed by revelations in life insurance, revela
tions which led directly to legislation by New York and by other States. , It is impossible now to correct any of
the misstatements, misconceptions and misunderstandings of that time; it is too early' to attempt to justify either
men or companies. Time will do that. But you then asserted yourselves through the force of public opinion, a
force. against which no man or any body of men can stand for any length of time. Life insurance as a whole was
purified.
The sections of the Armstrong laws which demand publicity, compel economies, insure care in investments
and protect you against improper transactions with your funds, have aroused a high sense of Trusteeship. They
have benefited not only life insurance but all corporate life, and not a line of those sections should be repealed.
But there are other sections which are dangerous and reactionary. They have already checked the growth
and progress of life insurance. This is a national calamity.
The Companies of New York State, which for some years prior to 190S added about $500,000,000 a year
to the volume of outstanding insurance, will probably record a large loss in 1907. In 1906 these Companies lost
$150,000,000.
In other words the laws have gone too far. Reform was necessary; but reform
discredits and endangers its own achievements when it writes vicious and danger
ous principles into the statutes of the State. v
Against such legislation and against such results you ought now to assert yourselves through public opinion
as emphatically as you did against evils in management in 1905. Your personal interests demand it, your duty as
citizens who instinctively rebel against laws which open the door to paternalism and socialism also demands it
Some of the laws whjch menace your interests and are the product of a false theory of statesmanship are:
' 1st. Section 87. (New York State Laws). This limits the free surplus a company may hold.
Bnrin&agc in octiuiucs wiuuu iwcivc munuis represent a wiacr iiuciuauon ay nearly two to one tnan
the margin the law intends the companies to have for contingencies. The section is dangerous and
should be repealed.
2d. Section 83 (New York State Laws). This has substantially put an end to the issue of
insurance on impaired lives a branch of the business which up to the enactment of these laws was
perhaps unsurpassed in real usefulness. The section should be amended1
3d. Section 97 (New York State Laws). Under this law the State has undertaken to manage
the details of business introducing a vicious principle into legislation. Seeking to prevent extravagance
the law prevents growth. The section should be amended. '
4th. Section 96 (New York State Laws). This law reverses the present struggle against com-
binations in restraint of trade, and directly restrains competition by arbitrarily limiting the output of
! life companies, even when that output is legally issued and is of unquestioned value to the State. The
v section should be repealed.
5th. Sections in the Laws of nearly every State in the United States
J Imposing an income tax on life insurance alone and not on any other interest or business thus raiding
; trust funds, ijenalizing prudence and thrift, and unjustly discriminating against property dedicated to
.r a sacred use. . -
This Company is not merely a corporation, something apart from you. It is yours your property to defend '
and protect , .
The menace to life insurance just now is not in management, but in legislation.
The people have been vigilant and effective against the former; the time has come for them to exercise their rights '
and their authority against the indefensible aggressions of the latter. '
A pamphlet giving full information about the condition of the Company at the close of 1907 will be forwarded
