Life Insttraiice. A" USTRALIAN MUTUAL FROVL DEKT SOCIETY^ In the " Commercial World " for June 15th we 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 mado, which we find was short of the mark. We gave it out as something approach ing a business phenomenon, that the Society throughout Its 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, oa wa now learn, tho interest receipts exceeded the com bined payments for claims, commission, and expenses of management by nearly £10,000. If we are not mistaken, this roault is entirely unique In Llfo Assaranoe history. Certainly nothing, so far as we havo observed, has been experienced comparable to it m" the " Old Conn try," and if a parallel faot can be produced from any other quarter, we shall be glad to emblazon it in our columns. TheßO are very remarkable results; not ac counted for solely by the faot that they pertain to the " oldest mutual life offloe in Australia, or that the average interest received by the Society tin its investments, exceeds 6 per cent, per annum. These factors are of Importance in the case, but they would only go a short way if tho Hoolety'B business was not vigorously pushed. It is the untiring activity of the Socloty's executive that does it: and, as w6 have often said, aotlvity is the synonym ot ex penditure. The Society is not sparse in its ex penditure. But the results justify the outlay. 1 hat lathe browning faot to be borne in mind. Which of our Companies, for example, great or small, commission or non-commißßion-paylng, can show a proportion of income laid by during the year of 87 percent, of the gross premiums received.- We know of none that can do thia ; for, while we have several Companies whoso 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 Income. But this is not all. In Great Britain we have a few oompanlea whose new assurances amount to a million a-year. The number may be counted on the fingers who rise to that amount, while we have a very large proportion, perhap3 equal to 90 per cent, of our Companies, to whom Buch a result is altogether ah unhoped for event. But the new business of the Australian Mutual was tor £2, 181,285, an amount (as _ truly stated in the Company's advertißementa), "Far ex ceeding that of any other Life Assurance Offlco in tho British Dominions." The new annual premium income amounted to £72,859, while the net increase to tbe business, after allowing for loss of income from terminated policies, was re presented by 3822 policies, assuring £1,227,613. This result, it ia believed, is unparalleled in the history of Lite -Bsurance, whether in the Old World or In any other. Take another faot: the operations of the year—observe, only the Society's thirty second year-raised the annual income from £691,283 to £759,769, an increase In twelve months of £09,195, or 9_ per cent, of the grovlous year's revenue. Again the accumu tted fund was Increased during the year by the sum of £115,713, equal to 87 per cent, of the pre miums received. Something should also be Bald in regard to|the liberal, not to Bay enlightened, business principles of the Society. These constitute a Beriea of advantages secured to policy-holders, whioh aro ot a nature, it may fairly bo 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 Society's policies contain no condi tions as to travelling. Members aro aUowed to travel all over the world without lioenae or pay ment of extra premium. A policy is not for feited through habits of intemperance contracted after the policy is issued, or through being con- Ticted of felony, or by reason.of the assured dying by hands of the luattce 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 tificate of birth is produced: and if that can not be obtained, the best evidence of age obtain able is accepted. A policy, when the age has been admitted, Is free of all conditions after being five years In force, provided the life assured has resided wl thin 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 the policies of this Society,when they have endured three years.are kept in force after they have be come overdue by non payment ot premium until the surrender value of the policy ia exhausted. And In proof of the fact that this principle operates, and is not a mero flourish of trmr.- Sots, ft is announced by the society that at Ist December, 1880," the number of policies on which premiums were in arrear, and which were being con tinned in force by means Of this liberal regulation, amounted to 1,804, on whioh there had been advanced by the society for the payment of premiums (exclusive of Interest) the sum of of-33,187." We may add, the Society is not a competitor for business with the United Kingdom, but it has its reputation to establish. And Englishmen eoing to Australia may by the foregoing tokens learn whore they can find an office in which to assure of the highest class, andl working under tho most liberal principles known to the profession anywhere in the world.
