lo°s of Jlll.H'i'J. Thir. thf MiKillcr earnings I from interest, imjuiil to £'0,'V70, and the higher expenses, aiuount i»« to£l 1,830, give a total sum of Jk^^.L'UO, which the (jiovernment Insurance Department loses for bonus pur-poPt-s in comparison with tho prhale office. And the difference, is shown in the fact that its increase of funds for the year fell short by £72,838 of the increase in the case of tlio Australian Mutual Provident Society. Instead o£ having an addition of £133.763 in fluids on a total ol' £2,5'J1.&L2, it should havo had ono of £238,000. Or this comparative shortage of £105,000, as we have shown, £22,200 is represented by a smaller amount of interest earned, aud by heavier expense of management by about. £1 1,000 of funds given in consideration for annuities to tho private society in excess of tbo amount tfiven to the Government office, and tho remaining £72,000 is excess payments for death and other claims by policyholdevs. About £6000 may be allowed to the credit of the (government office in respect of its lower premiums, reducing the excess to £06,000. Whether these comparatively greater claims on the public oniee represent less care in the selei'tion of Jives, or are merely accidental, i<. is impossible u> saw But the outcome of thi*- business, whatever the cause of it under this head, is far from being to its advantage. In nvory essential point the results ol' tbe compftition betneen the Government/ and tho privately managed ofUceare against the former, and give no encouragement whatever 1o the oxteusion of State i management to businesses that come more | properly within the scope of private enterprise. The results of the competition between these two institutions furnish about the best object lesson given in Australasia of the relative advantage of State versus company control of financial undertakings, and every year in which wo have been able to make the comparison the result has been the same.— Sydney Morning Iletatd.
