THE RELIEF FUND.

WESTMINSTER. II. G.
MR.. EDITOR:-In discussing the vari-
Gus plans for relief suggested in your
valuable paper, the argument was ad-
vanced that every county should keep
it's own relief fund. One brother said
that if we make it a State affair there
will be ninety eight chances to one
against a county fund. Another, single
county man, said it is as " broad as it
is long" l contended, and so did
others, that the advantages would be
much greater by having the whole
State in one common fund, or insur-
ance company. Take ten cents per
member as a basis, O county with five
hundred members would have each
year the sum of two hundred dollars
to give relief with. which would pay
for two ordinary horses. Take the
State as q whole, the amount would be
near $40, 900 per aunum; the weak
county would share alike with the
stronger one, and stand some chance
of getting something, for it is not prob
able there would be an accident in
every county at once, and the drawing
from one county TO anOther would
bind the ties Of brotherhood stronger
and stronger until we would be one
great family, anxious and willing to
help each otter every time there is a
call or time Of need. If we can get
this insurance company established, it
will be the cheapest and strongest one
on earth. As 70 the best plans for
formulating this company, think the
Executive Committee or Committee on
Good Ct the Order could get up some
kind Of plan and send it down to the
Sub Alliances and let them discuss the
matter and be ready Tor bringing it
bafOre the State Alliance. So with
fear and trembling. st this may find
its way into the waste basket. | am,
