' THE FOXiLOWIIW J A lengthened exp?rience han demonstrated that tho rates-of Premium ordinarily charged by Lifo Insurance Companies are from twenty-five to tb.irtv.per cent, in excess of what ape necessary lora salo and legitimate oomlucfc of j the business.. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed Companies charging " Mutual" rates have Leen ablo to return to ?heir policyholders from 25 to 30 percent, of the amount charged, fur premiums. '.'..'??; When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of thc data, upon, which thc premiums, were const meted bad . not undergone tho test of experience:' It was tlioyi'Tbt, therefore, nb more tiian common prudence to adopt a scale of premium's which W?xRo^ib any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of'the business. ; . - ... ' . | . As long raslie matter was involved in some doubt, iL was bettor to fix the rate too Ililli than'tbfflcur the risk nf making it too low ; because, in the former case, the error could be "easily remedied, at hast in part, liv returning to the policyholders, at certain intervals,.such.portion of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for thc purposes of the business and the complete security of the Company, .. Experience/ ho we ver, having satisfactorily demonstrated ttat these pt\tj;s are exces sive, wliat possible cxi:u& can'th(jfe ]'& ?!'1'?* ibai>aiiUHgih*,i? . Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal. Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted? scale ?f premiums in accor dance therewith, and which has proved to be nur. and adequate,- and.alt that wa"s necessary to meet thc requirements of the business. These premiums are about twenty five per "cent, lower than thoso charged by Mutual Companies. . lt also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established wera as near as could possibly. ' bcdeLermined /air rates, and not in excess of what Insurance bas previously cost the 1 Policyholders in Mutua/. Companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage- , nu-'iit" justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of the Company, for the risk, incurred by them in undertaking thc business. Experience has shown that there are sources of profit in ibo practice of thc business which theory will not admit of being considered us elements in the calculation of thc premiums. These resulta from a saving iii the mortality pf thp members pf a Com pany owing to the medical selection of good lives, a gain; in fuier?st 0Q the investments of the Company over that assumed, in th? cjwAfatjori' of its premiums, the profits derivable from" thc Japsiftg and surrender of Policies by the members, aud'from other minor sources. ? ?. . . Profits from these sources, in a Company possessed of a capital of $200,000, and ?o ing a fair amount of business, would give to the . stockholders dividends largely in ex cess of what were counted on.by the Directors of the Universal at thc time of'its ? organization*. Tlicy .have, therefore, determined to divide among the policyholders of the Company a large-part of thc profits'accruing from the sources named, all bf which have heretofore been divided among thc stockholders-. The plan adopted for such division is as follows : Every person who may hereafter insure wilh'the Universal \"\\\, for" the purposes of division, be treated as a .st?ckhol-' der, to thc extent ol one Animal Premium upou his Policy; and i^.iU thaw -hr thc profit? of thc Coiupany'to.precisely Uie sC7?c extent as a ;V/c-. hholtler owing an crjitat amount of the capital $twk . By tins system ot insurance, original with'the Universal, thc policyholder secures ? the following importanfadvantages : ' FIRST. Insurance at (lie rajular " iitock" rates, requiring a {primary oidhy oj about tioenty to thirty per cent, less than thal charged by Mutual Companies; and which is equivalent to ayedrly 1' dividend,? paid in advance of that ariiountonmiitual rates. Thislow cost of ihsuranc? is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Compivny has received'in-preniiumjB from its policyholders thc sum of $1,517,000. To effect the same amount otinsurance in a Mutual Company, would have cost them ari initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing rts policyholders to retain *in their own pos session this excess of $483,000, th? Universal has Virtually paid tli?m a " dividend" of $4S3,000, arid paid it,.too,- m advance, instead pf at thp end of one or inore years. It is impossible to find any example; pf a Muti^?l ?cMp?nj.-'fu'Qp?^^ 'insurance at so low a cost by returning'to/its'policylmblevii aa egual.aju'p.unf upon snnilar receipts. SECOND, ' ^r?c'wa'tion ipvfycl^?miqte profus af Op ??,mpa,)w, up?n <? plan which secures to the policyholders thc same, treatment which Doctors, duq Stockholders award to themselves^. This system of participatioiij'jn connection with (bc Tow \' stock" "rates of premium, must necessarily secure to ike pdticyfolders cycry possiblp '?idva?tage to be derived from .prudent and ca)-ef^ ^an^g?meir?. . .< . . The low rates of premium, ?ompel- economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee tathe pdhc}%oldcr bis insurance at a rate Which is not in excess of the cost in well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed plan of participation, in what may be con?idered the legitimate profits of the business, the cost will be still ftirth'er diminished. Kl . -, L . Thus by thp-combined advantages arising from low stock rate aud participation 'in the profits it is.confidently bebeved that' the tWlVERSAL LIF? INSURANCE .
