Life, Insurance. /i AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL JfKOVI DKST SOCIETY. In tho " Commercial World " tot Jf.no 15th we Kayo a summary of the Directors" Report at this Company, and ft we refer to it again it is mainly in order to supplement and perleet a statement then made, whioh we flfld was short o£ the mark. We gave it out as something rtpproach- Ing a business phenomenon, that the Sonloiy throughout Its entire career o£ thirty-two year? had paid its claims out of interest receipts alone. This statement is undoubtedly remarkable onough, but it tails far Bhdit o£ the actual achievements of the pact year, when, as wo now learn,-the interest, receipts exceeded the com bined payments for claims, commission, and expenses o£ management by noarly £10,000. If we are not mistaken, this result is entirely unique in Life Assurance history. Certainly nothing, bo far as wo have observed, has been experienced comparable to it in tho " 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. But this is nut all. In Great Britain we have a fow companies whose new assurances amount to a million a-year. The number may be counted on the finders who rise to that amount, while we havo a very lar<<o proportion, perhaps equal to 90 per cent, of our Companies, to whom suoh a result is altogether an unhoped for event. But the new business of the Australian Mutual wos for £2,181,285, an amount (as is truly stated la tho Company's advertisements), "Far ex ceoding that of any other Life Assurance Offlco in the British Dominions." Tfle new annual premium income amounted to £72,859, while tho net increase to the business, after allowing for loss of income from terminated policies, was re prosonted by 3822.'policies, assuring £1,227,613. This result, it is believed, is unparalleled in the hißtory. ©£ Lite Aesuranco, whether :in the Old World or in any other.. Take anothor fact: the operations of the year—observe, only the .-oclety's thirty Becoijd joar—raised the annual income from £694,283 to £759,769, an iocreaae-in twelve months of £69) 185, or i)§ per cent, of the previous year's revenue. ■ -Attain the accumu lated fund waa increased during the year by the sum o£ £115,713, equal to 87 per cent, of the pre miums received. These are very remarkable results; not ac oounted for solely by the fact that they pertain to the " oldest mutaal life office in Australia," or that the average interest received by the Society on its investnlehtn exceeds 6 percent. por annum. These factors are of importance in the case, but they would only go a short way if tho Hociety's bueiaess waa not vigorously pushed. It ia the untiring activity of the Society's executive that doea it: and, as we have often said, activity1 is the synonym of ex penditure. Tho Society Is not sparse in its ex penditure. But tkoresults justify the outlay, 'i hat is the crowning fact to be borne in mind. Whioh of ourOJmpanies, for example, great or small, commission or non-commission-paying, can show a proportion of income laid by during the year of 87 percent, of the gross premiums received. Wo Know o£ nona that can do this; for, while wo have several Companies whose expenses Of management are lighter than those of tho Australian Mutual, we liavo nono, we believe, that can show a lay-by;after providing for expenses and claims, equal to 87 per cent, of the premium iboome. , . ; ., ; Something should, also be said In l'Sgafd t9' the I liberal, not to say enliebtened, business ! principles of the Sdc'ety. Thsso constitute a scried of advantages secured to policy-holders, which are of a nature, it may fairly bo presumed, ,to silence all objcctorß, and to remove the sornplcs which many persona profess to enter lain against a too exacting system of life assur ance. TheSpciety's 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 is not for feited through habits of iritomporttnoe contracted afcer the policy is issued, or through being con victed of felony, or by reason of the assured dying by hands of the justice or by suicide, 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 tificatq of birth is produca.d: and if that can not be obtained, tho best evidence of age obtain ablo is accepted. A policy, whet the ago has been admitted, Is free of all conditions aftar being five yoars 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, n 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 any1 extra premium. And last, but not least, indeed tho most liberal principle of all, is that the policies of this Society,when they have endured three years.aro 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 faottbat this principle operates, and is not a mere flourish of trum pets, it is announced by the society that at 31st December, 1880, " the number of policies on wbicli premiums were in arrear, and which were being continued in force by means of this liberal regulation, amounted to 1,804; on which there had been advanced by the society .for the payment of Dremiums (exclusive of interest) the sura of of £33,187." We may add, tho Society is not a competitor, for business with the United Kingdom, but it has itsjepntation to establißU. And Englishmen otoing to Australia may by the foregoiDg tokens learn whore they can find an office in which to assure oJ: tho highest class, and| working under the most liberal principles known to the profession anywhere in the world.
