am pleased to inform you that this association has
reesived fair and honorable treatment from all of the
Insurance Commissioners OF the various States of our
Union many Of whom. has been previously reported
to you. have personally examined into the affairs of
this association and with but single exception VIZ.
D. W. wilder. Insurance Commissioner OF tho State OF
Kansas. and inaamuch a. ho is and has always been.
the recognized representative Of the hRhate monopoly
system Of life Insurance. otherwise known the level
premium system In not surprising that he should not
only attack this association but we'll all other organ
izatons that transact business upon the natural
mium or assessment system. and his attacks not
only made upon the 40 assessment associations fra
torna and nonraternal societies. but we'll upon tho
members OF tho Legislature of the state of Kansa not
withstandinR the fact that those assessment assoca
tons are paying out each year more than thrtyeiRht
millions OF dollars to the widows and orphans In death
caimA greater sum than that paid In death claims by
all OF the level premium life insurance companies com
oned while these assessment companies are collecting
less than onethrd of tho rates charged by these level
premium compAnies and yet Notwithstanding the fact
that or tho business OF all the level premium
companies s transacted by three monstrous life nsur
ance monopoleR Mr. Wilder has proper to espouBo
the cause Of those life insurance mono opoliea
It S but fair that the political party which has ap
pointed him to this important oce should DO held
fraternal societies in nntiona, oonrrss, as,.n,,.d
representing a membership of moro than 100000
voters have petitioned his Exoelenoy. Lyman u Hum
tive and It ia to be hoped that all OF tho
associations throughout our country represeptipp n
membership OF 10000 persouS shall follow the exam
pie OF the fraternAi socetieA
In conclusion will state that your executive officers
enter upon the 1870 with absolute confidence for
the future Our association was never in better
duon than to-day. We shall continue 20 press forward
In tho cause OF life insurance REFORM and we shall con-
tnue to furnish life insurance pure and simple dvestd
