EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY

OF THE UNITED STATES.

LETTER TO POLICYHOLDERS FROM THE PRESIDENT.

NEW YORK, December 14th, 1905. TO THE POLICYHOLDERS:

THE

Intimations.

ANNUAL AUDIT.

HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 14

It will be the policy of the new administra- tion of the Society to insist on an independent audit of its accounts as to its fiscal condition, once each year, the result, of which will be published.

NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS.

Under the change inownership of a majority of the stock, the shares were at once put in trust; and Directors are now nominated by the Trustees-Hon. Grover Cleveland, Justice Mor gan 3. O'Brien, and Mr. George Westinghouse. Thirteen Directors are chosen annually, and the Trusices will each year offer an oppor- tunity to the policyholders to express their pre- ferences in respect of the choice of Directors, POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

It will be the policy of the Society hereafter

gns. It is my opinion that we have no right to use the funds of the Society for any, such purpose.

HAD hoped to make some statement to you before this, but I have believed it was best to wait until I could give you a final conni to make contributions to political cam.

·clusion in regard to the financial condition of the Society based on fall investigation. This explains the delay in communicating with you, On June 9th las, under the condition that I should have full power as to men and methods, and with no pledges of any kind to Any one, I was elected by the Directors of the Society as CHAIRMAN of the BOARD, and at once assumed the active management of the Society's affairs.

Soon after I was elected PRESIDENT of the SOCIETY and the Office of Chairman was abolished..

One of the first acts of my administration was the sinployment of Messrs. Price, Waterhouse & Company, chartered accountants of Great Britain and New York, and Messrs. Haskins & Sells, certified public accountants of New York, to investigate the affairs of the Society under directions to render complete, and ex haustive reports on the following subjects:

1. The Society's annual expenses, including legal expenses, advertising expenses, agency expenses, and cost of securing business,

2. The real estate investments of the Com. pany, including in the case of each parvel the value at which it is carried upon the books af the Society; the income which it yields; and the fair valuation of the property, whether above or below the value at which it is carried upon the books of the Society. (If necessary, real estate experts may be employed in as certaining the value and income of the real estate, subject, of course, to my approval as to men and terms).

3. The other investments of the Society; their character; and the circumstances under which they have been inade.

4. The Society's, surplus and the manner is which it is carried upon the books of the Society.

5. The methods of keeping the Society's accounts, and the respects in which its account- ing may be improved.

G. The relations between the Sqciety and the trust companies, banks, safe deposit companies, and other institutions with which the Society is affiliated by ownership of considerable amount of stack or otherwise. (In the case of every corporation in which the Society has a dominant or important interest, or with which the Society has special relations, the owner- ship of stack other than that owned by the Society should be ascertained so far as practis cable).

7. The subjects covered by the report of the Investigating Committee of which Mr. Frick was Chairman should be fully investigated.

8 When the report of the New York Super-, intendent of Insurance has been made that report should be carefully studied and every malter covered by it or by the recommendations of the Commissioner should be carefully exam ined.

Subsequently a still more elaborate plan of investigation was agreed upon with these accountants, and I doubt if any, American in- surance company ever before had such an exhaustive examination.

11 has taken a large forge of men five months to ascertain the exact financial status of the Society, now fully exposed by the balance sheet transmitted with the following note and repro- duced on pages 6 and 7.

New York, November 25th, 1995. Mr. PAUL MONTON, Presideni,

The Equitable Life Assurance Suciety of the United States, 120, Broadway, New York. DEAR SIR:-The exlustive examination which we have made of the affairs of the Equit able Life Assurance Society of the United States is so far completed, that we are now able to furnish you with a Balance Sheet show- ing the true Financial Position of the Society on September 30th, 1903.

The Assets of the Society as claimed were all founil to be on hand, and amounted in value G $416,165,500.to as shown by the Balance Sheet.

Tie Surplus over and above all Liabilities amounted to G 67,142,805 41.

A conservative revaluation of the Assets, in- cluding a re-appraisal of all the real estate owned by the Society or covered by mortgages held by the Society, has resulted in a reduc- tion in certain of the values adopted in the Society's last Annual Repost, principally in Real Estate and in Stocks of certain financial institutions.

Yours very truly, (Signed) PRICE, WATERHOUSE & CO.,

Chartered Accountants. by A. Lowes DICKISON, F.C.A., C.P.A.

(Signed) HASKINS & SELLS,

Certified Public Accountants,

by ELIJAH W. SELLS, CPA (1) That all the assets claimed by the Society are on hand, are of a high grade, and are coh- servatively worth G $416,166,500.10.

You will be gratified to learn:

(a) Thai, over and above all liabilities, the surplus is G $67,147,865-4, about seven- eighths of which is a fund for division among existing deferred dividend policies at the end of their accumulation periods.

(3) That the reduction in the book value of our assets and surplus is caused by a revalua. tion on a conservative basis, and in no way reduces the income of the Society.

The decrease in the value of assets is chiefly in real estate which was carried at prices too higb, and in shares of certain financial institu- tions which were carried at market prices based on transactions, which were deemed, by the accountants to be excessive..

RETRENCHMENT.

Economies amounting to G 3$600,000 00 year have already been introduce, which if capitalized on a four per cent, basis would be equivalent to an additional investment of over G $15,000,000,, This more than covers the marking down' of assets. I expect to institute still further economies of a radical character.

RESTITUTION.

Under the past management transactions Involving the expenditure of large sums of money have been carried through frequently without any proper authority of the Board of Directors and with very mengre bookkeeping records, so that it has been difficult in many instances to secure explanation of certain tran. sactions which have taken place during the last tep years, some of which involve a financial loss to the Society.

The liabilities disavowed by the Society, and the amounts restored to the Society approxi- $1,000,000, and legal proceedings have bean Instituted for the recovery of considerable additional sumą

raste

REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES,

In the last ten years thit Society has loaned over G $120,000,000 on real estate mortgages, mostly in larg cities. Only in six of these cases has it had to take property under fore- closure and in these six instances the property was said so as 14 net a profit. It will continue to be the policy of the Society to make invest- ments of this description.

COST OF INSURANCE.

The 'very essence of life insurance is safety and this can be secured only by reasonable premiums.

A great many Equitable policyholders are doubtless asking themselves the question whether it will pay them to continue their policies. To sucha 'wish to say most emphati cally that my investigation of the affairs of the Suciety has convinced me that there is no cheaper way for the policyholders of the Equitable to have sound life insurance than by retaining their policies.

As I have pointed

out, the surplus of over G. $67,000,000, aro safely invested upon a basis which returns an excellent rate of interest upon the revised valuations, and 1 expect in due time to accon plish such economies that the cost of adiniais. iration and secoting new business will be reduced to the lowest possible basis consistent with safety and efficiency. 1, accordingly, Equitable you will receive life insurance at the believe that by continuing your policies in the

awest cost consistent with safety.

I therclare advise you to continue to pay

your premiums; to allow your policies to lapse will be doing yourselves injustice. tracts with this Society are as safe and sound as anything earthly can be. Where lapses have already occurred the agents of the Society will cheerfully assist in restoring policies.

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.:

(64

Women, if you want to progress, if you want to keep young, useful and alive, if you want your interest in life to increase instead of to diminish with the years, don't become resigned. Of all the foes to happiness, usefulness, health and youth, resignation is among the most deadly.

There is nothing that will more quickly rob life of zest and meaning than the attitude of resignation. There is nothing that will more surely paralyze a woman's mental and spiritual powers, narrow her horizon and destroy the best that is in her than being heavily, hopeless- ly resigned to what is undesirable.

There is one kind of resignation that is beautiful, because necessary and right. The first consists in cheerfully adjusting one's self to duties and demands that are a part of one's life work, and not to be evaded.

The second consists in supinely accept- ing undesirable, hampering, blighting con- Your conditions as inevitable and permament sim

ply because one has not the faith, the daring, the spiritual enterprise to seek a way out. Or else one permits the limitations and beliefs of others to regulate her life, and is fearful of believing, hoping, acting positively for herself.

EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES IN 1905.

I congratulate you and all policyholders in solvent concerns on the reformatory results of the agitation of the past year. This Society alone has undergone four separate investiga- tions since January 1st. The extraordinary legal. and other expense entailed thereby is amply compensated for by the enforced restitutions and checked waste herein above referred to and by the final assurance you now have of the wealth and solvency of your Society, I am convinced that this and other investigations and the resulting stimulation of discussion have attracted public atication to the impregnable strength of established concerns like the Equitable more effectually than could have been done by any other means. investigations may have been destructive of individual treputations, the utility of life in surance has been more fully demonstrated than

ever before.

While these

There will be no effort by the new adminis tration to have the biggest company in the world; the effort will be to make it the best and tjest. Conservative lines will be followed. It will be the policy not to solicit or secure new business at the expense of the present policy holders, and, in case it is determined that business in any section of the world is unpre- fitable, that field will be abandoned.

Over 48 per cent of our death claims are settled within 24 hours after proof of death is received, and since January 1st, 1905, through all of the agitation concessing life insurance; this Society alone has paid out in death claims and benefits of other kinds over C. $116,799 every working day.

Assuring you that it will be my constant endeavour to conduct the affair of this Society in a manner that will mesit your hearty appro- bition, I am,

Very truly yours,

t'es

And there is all the diffence in the world be tween these two attitudes as to the actual results produced in one's life.

It is possible to be recigned and yet not resigned. No matter how necessary, how in difficult and unfavorable circumstances, right it is that a woman adjust herself to cer she should never commit the error of settling into the deasenidg belief that these.conditions will not change; that there will never be a way out for her.

Nor is there any reason why a woman should handicaps that other women experience, simply accept as unavoidable the restrictions and because such evils are usual. It is the thoughts we hold, the suggestions we give our. selves, that determine what our life conditions shall be. To become "resigned" to evil and suffering and limitation because we see them as the experience of others is ignorant and

suicidal.

In the matter of age the difference in nental attitude very speedily shows itself. The woman who becomes resigned to the thought of fading chains and waning powers will become selled and gray long before her time, while the woman who combats ago or who keeps herself mentally and spiritually so active that she has no time to consider it, remins young, buoyant and aspiring, no mat ter how long she lives.

I know a woman of 35 or thereabouts who, al the age of 28, resigned herself to the belief that she was an old maid and that the future before her was bound to be gray, hopeless, full of drudgery and disappointment.

Thereafter all her plans, her aims, her ideals, were shaped and colored according to that be hef. It was not long before "old maid" stamps ed itself upon her peison, her manner and all her modes of activity. Every feature showed the image she was holding in mind. As she thought in her heart, so was she, and so did Everybody regard her. To day she is old, ill, faded, useless-a burden upon relatives.
