The Equitable’s syndicate opera- tions, the society’s connections with various trust companies and the loan accounts brought into question during the investigation are all touched upon by the committee, and the Equijtable's statement of September 30, 1905, show- ing a surplus of $67,552,805, is printed The committee says it has no reason to doubt the accuracy of this report, but says that if $7,664,- 640 agents' balances and miscellaneous advances carried as assets were ex- cluded the surplus, according to the de- rtment rule, would have been $59,- In connection with the Equitable the settlement of former Governor Odell's Special building suit by the Mercantile Senator Ambler's biil to repeal the charter of the Mercantile Trust Com- pany are discussed. The Germania Life Insurance Com- pany, which was examined by the com- mittee, was found to have a surplus on December 31, 1904, amounting to $2,538,832. The committee found that this company’s expenses also have been high, amounting to 14.3 per cent of the loading on its premiums, In its report on the affairs of the Home Life Insurance Company the committee remarks that this company never contributed - to political cam- paign funds nor did it make payments in connection with legislation in any State. “It would seem that this company, says the report, “as well as ot =maller companies, has not felt called upon to make expenditures of this sort, but that this matter has been left to the three leading companies.”. The expenses of the Bankers' Life Insurance Company have very largely exceeded the loadings upon the pre- miums. Recently economies have heen introduced. This company has made no contributions to political campaign funds, and has made no expenditures in connection with legislation.
