No fair-minded man, "having reviewed the figures, can avoid the conclusion thtt en "er87 capacity and fidelity in administration were riot born yes terday in the New-York Life. "Any claim which we as Trustees and officers may have to "approval by the 750,000 families protected by this institution is "made stronger by the willing admission, which we all make, "that our predecessors toiled both mightily and wisely. ' "A. great life insurance company is not the product of ac cident or violence- It does not arise from a social catastrophe, "as a mountain may suddenly arise in the landscape from a con "vulsion of nature. It is the product of peace, oi labor, of "thought, of energy, of fidelity, of faith, of godd will amongst men. "When a storm has swept over an estate and has done its "cruel and possibly necessary work, the owner may send for "men and direct them to cut away broken and twisted branches, "to prune away unnecessary and unhealthful growths and clear "the ground. Having done this, the men would hardly be en "titlcd to claim credit, tn that account, for the fact that certain "trees were still symmetrical, beautiful, vast in girth and vig orous to the outermost twig. Any such claim would be pre sumptuous and the men making it would become ridiculous. "The New-York Life grew like the oak and it tells the same "story of storm and tempest survived. "Lately the hurricane came and did its cruel perhaps nec f'essary work. We were called in by the owners of the estate, "the policy-holdersand told to correct errors, to change methods, "to discontinue certain practices. We have done the-work ;but "we are not now possessed of the idea that this necessary and use "ful work, as such, reflects discrediton our predecessors or espe cial glory on us. "Having carried out' the wishes of the policy-holders, we now "assure them in the facts anneked. of the vitality, the soundness, "the large capacity for social usefulness of the New-York Life. "But we are obliged to tell them at tle same time that sound "and virile as the Company is, its future usefulness is limited. "The owner of an estate, after the passing of a storm, never "orders the men who remove broken branches and cut away un desirable growths, to excise fhe living, growing body of a tree "to cut for the deliberate purpose of ending a tree's further de velopment. Such a direction would be contrary to nature ; it "would indicate that the owner of the estate either had no knowl- "edge of natural laws', or. that he cherished an especial hostility "against fine trees.' ' . v. ,-, ' ' ' '" ' .' ; : "When the State of New York enacted certain statutes,' in Curing economy, eliminating the legislative blackmailer, corn Celling' publicity and strict accountability, it did well. But "when it enacted Section 96 of the insurance code, deliberately "intending to stop the natural, sound and healthful growth of "this Company, it sinned against nature, , -. "Obeying the law, we have been obliged to cut deep into thei "Company's living tissue, into its organized working force, and "so strong is the Company's) vitality, so rapid its recovery, that "we have been obliged to cut again and again"!" "Let me give you a few facts: "Our domestic working organization at the close of 1905 and at the close of 1909 was as follows: . 1905 1909 Branch Offices. Enrolled Agents. ......217 4872 82 ' 2007 Decrease . .135 2865 "The. total number of outstanding policies and the total out 'standing insurance on the same dates were: Number of Policies. 1905 .1,001,269 1909 . . . .' 981,590 Decrease . . . 19,679 Amount of Insurance. $2,061,593,886 2,002,809,227 $58,784,659 "Three full years have, intervened since these laws took effect. "Wo find no-fault with most of them. But the record shows that "Section 96, which limjts our new business in each calendar year' "to an amount equal to about 7yi per cent of our insurance in "force, makes any material expansion of our outstanding insur "ance impossible. Inevitably, if the law remains, outstanding "insurance will permanently decrease. "The law was not intended to have and it docs not have this "effect on all the companies of this State. It. is therefore not "only unsound, but unfair. To correct this, it is only necessary "to get a clear statement of the truth before the people. This "we have tried continuously to accomplish.1 We have made "progress. We shall get reasonable relief in time, because in this Country nothing is ever settled until it is settled right. "The facts in the report and the unsurpassed usefulness of the "Company will eloquently plead our case, before the bar of public "opinion. customed to 1L However, If the public insists on going back to the old system With overcrowded cArs, It will be a sav- thls to $90, $95 and 1100.
