A USTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVL jti. DENT SOCIETY. In the " Commercial World " for June 15th wa gave a summary of the Directors' Report of this Company, and it we refer to it again it is mainly in order to supplement and perfect a statement then made, which we find was short of the mark. We gave it out aa something approach ing a business phenomenon, that the Society throughout Us entire career of thirty-two years had paid its claims out of interest receipts alone. This statement is undoubtedly remarkable enough, but it falls far short of the actual achievements of the past year, when, aa we now learn, the interest receipts exceeded the com bined payments for claims, commission, and expenses of management by nearly £10,000. If we are not mistaken, this result is entirely unique In Life .Assurance history. Certainly nothing, so far as we have observed, has been experienced comparable to iHn the " Old Coun try," and if a parallel fact can be produced from any other quarter, we shall be glad to emblazon it in our columns. ! These axe very remarkable results; not ac counted for golely by the foot that they pertain to the " oldest mutual life office in Australia," or that the average interest received by the Society on Its investments, exceeds 6 per cent. per annum. Theae faotors are of importance in the case, but they would only go a short way if the Society's business was not vigorously pushed. It is the untiring activity of the Society's executive that does it: and, as we have often said, activity is the synonym of ex penditure. The Society is not sparse in its ex penditure. But the results justify tho outlay. Ihatistheorownine: fact to be borne in mind. Which of our Companies, for example, great or small, commission or non-commission-paying, oan show a proportion of income laid by during the yea; of 87 per cent, of the gross premiums received. We know of none that can do this; for, while we have several Companies whose expenses of management are lighter than those of the Australian Mutual, we have none, we believe, that can show a lay-by, after providing for expenses and claims, equal to 87 per cent, of the premium inoome. But this Is not all. In Great Britain we have a few companies whose new assurances amount to a million a-year. The number may ba counted on the fingers who rise to that amount, while we have a very large proportion, perhaps equal to 90 per cent, of our Companies, to whom such a result is altogether an unhoped for event. But the new business of the Australian Mutual was for £2,181,285, an amount (as is truly stated in the Company's advertisements), "far ex ceeding that of any other Life Asauranoe Office in the British Dominions." The new annual premium income amounted to £72,853, while tho net increase to the business, after allowing for loss of income from terminated policies, was re presented by 3822 policies, assuring £1,227,613. This result, it is believed, is unparalleled In tho history of Lite Assurance, whether in the Old World or in any other. Take another fact: the operations of the year—observe, only the Society's thirty-second year—raised tho annual income from £691,283 to £759,769, an increase in twelve months of £69,485, or Ui per cent of the previous year's revenue. Again the accumu lated fund was increased during the year by tho sum of £145,713, equal to 87 per oent. of the pre miums received. Something should also be said in regard tojtho liberal, not to say enlightened, business principles of the Society. These constitute a: aeries of advantages scoured to policy-holders, which are of a nature, it may fairly be presumed, to ..silence all objectors, and to remove the scruples which many persons profess to enter tain against a too exacting system of life assur ance. The Soolety'a policies contain no condi tions as to travelling. Members are allowed to travel all over the world without license or pay ment of extra premium. A policy ia not for feited through habits of intemperance contracted after the polioy is issued, or through being con victed of felony, or by reason of the assured dying by hands of the justice or by suioido, provided in the latter case, suicide is not com mitted within thirteen months after the date of assurance. Policies are endorsed with an admission of age when issued, provided a cer tificate of birth is produced; and if that can not be obtained, the best evidence of age obtain able is accepted. A polioy, when the age has been admitted, is free, of all conditions after being five years in force, provided the life assured has resided within the ordinary limits from the date of the policy, and has attained thirty years of age. And when these conditions have been complied with) a mutual Provident' policy becomes absolutely indisputable and un challengeable, and the life assured can reside in any part of the world without having to pay any > extra, premium. And last, but not least, indeed the most liberal principle of all, is that tho policies of this Sooiety.when they have endured three yearß,are kept in force after they have be come overdue by non-payment of premium until the surrender value of the policy is exhausted. And in proof of the fact that this principle operates, and Is not a mere flourish of trum pets, it ie announced by the society that at 31st December, 1880, " the number o£ policies on whioh premiums were in arrear, and whioh were being continued in force by means of this liberal regulation, amounted to 1,801, on which there haobeen advanced by the society for the payment of premiums (exclusive of interest) the Bum of of £33,187." We may add, the Society is not a competitor for business with tho United Kingdom, but it has its reputation to establish. And Englishmen going to Australia may by the foregoing tokens learn where they can find an oflice in which to assure of the hiitheat class, and) working under the most liberal principles known to the profession anywhere in the world.
