Ufe Insurance lavestigstIon

The investigation of the life Juan-Rite°companies of Mew York by &commissiontam the state legislature, If thorough incharacter, will give policy holders theirffrst opportunity for -exact knowledge ofthe'statos and condition of the leadingcams:erns. The company which does notdd business in tle Empire State is Insig-nificant and this inquiry is not only intoconcerns incorporated in the common-wealth but. into all that operate within Itstontines. It is safe to predict that on theanole. their affairs will be found to havebeen honestly conducted and 'their condi-tion sound. Nothing developed thus farin relation to the Equitable, has shown

thateompany lain such financial con--Salon that the investors run risks of for-feiture. Tie i•vestigation should came/ •ceseploae hatterment and those director-ales which have been guilty of pettythievery will restore their ill-gotten ingni (defense.Nothing could be more absurd than the

assumption that American life insurancemummies are generally rotten or thatdishonesty in their manageinent is therale. One great goal has resulted fromthe equitable scandal. Throug lathe dailypapers the average man has learnedsomething of the inside facts on in-anrance and in futtire* fneee-proportion,being familiar with the sorts of 'policiesanti the advantageous features of each,will demand the agreements best suitedto their interests. The Equitable hasnet been permanently injured by thefinery, the temporary setback has notbeen serious and the nation as a whole,so vital iv the insurance artery, willhave gained greatly by the publicitygiven inkenroce nuithodt—Inter Moun-tain.
