Analyzed; Study Reveals Facts $10,-000,0- Bishops Storehouse Soon Ready In Provo; Church First President $10,000000 Drain on Utah Edgar Reid, former superintendent of whool for South Sanpete district. Expecting soon to return to Provo for a similar study, Dr. Kirkham declares the following facts and figures are indicative of the whole state, and conform almost exactly to their findings in Utah generally, and to the findings of the "Governors Committee of Nine whose report has al. ready been Issued. To Mr. Reid goes much of the credit for the Information complied at Manti, says Dr. Kirkham. The basis of the Manti study was the statement of the Governor's Committee of Nine, In their report of 1936, that Utah pays more than each year fiw life Insurance, but receives back In diwth benefits, claims, and d surrenders only about of all money paid for life Insurance. Only five per cent of all policies issued mature by death or otherwise. The actual rost of the death loss for all life insurance companies In United States is now only $7.50 for $1000 Insurance for one year for all ages, and fur nil persons dying of all diseases. Taking these figures aa Oasis for their investigation In Sanpete Mr. Reid and Dr. Kirkham found the following facts for a period of eight yeara for wbirh records were available with absolute accuracy: They examined the records for 4415 persons, and found that 48 died before reaching five years of age; 13 died between five and 15 yeara; 17 died between 15 and 25 years; 35 died between 25 and 45 years; 76 died between 45 and 65; 151 died between 65 and 85 yenra, and 87 died after reaching Sa year of age. A total of 877 death occurred or 47.125 deaths per year during the eight years. The fart that Manti Is a "temple ritr" arrounts for tbe unusually large number of deaths among those past 65 years, explains Dr. Kirkham. Figuring on the basis' of 1000 persons, the death rate proved to be 11.07 for under five years: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1939 1.54 between 5 and 15 yeara; 2.47 between 15 and 25; 3.81 for 25 to 45; 15.01 for 45 to 65; 103 between 65 and 85, and 525 over 85 yeara. Transfer llnw figure into money per SICMKI ami tlie actual rust of insurance per $11100 for the various age groups would lie $11.07 per year for under five year-old$1.34 for 5 to 15 year-ol- d group; 82.47 per year for the 13 to 23 year-ol- il group; $3.81 for tlie 23 to 43 ages; $13 a year for 43 to 03 age; $102.00 for 85 to 85 years, and $323 for those over 83 years. Hut for the average insurance risk" acceptable by s; s, tlie regular Insurance tlie actual cost would be only $2.00 trr year, tills figure being olitained by taking the average of $151, $2.47 and $3.81 for ages 5 to 43 years. While actual number of policies sold by all Insurance com panics In Sanpete was not available, Dr. Kirkham waa confident that the amount paid out would equal the Utah state average of $20 per capita per year, as com. pared to $2.60 per capita actual cost. The difference between $2.00 and $20.00 could not be all spent for overhead rhargea, believes I)r. Kirkham. Another method of computing rost of present Insurance In Utah, adds Dr. Kirkham, Is that the $10,000,000 paid by Utahn amounts to 10 per rent of nil Income by all peviple In the slate. This money, he declares, Is paid 48 different life Insurance agenclea. only TWO of which are owned hy Utah capital, all other payments going out of state. SHU another statement by Dr. Kirkham is to the effect that the amount paid for life Insurance lif Utah Is greater than the total rost of operating all elementary and high schools In the state, whereas the actual rost, of life com-iwnle- - to follow.
