A. o. U. w.

In the absence of something more
reliable than the extract from the Chi
cago Dispatch, published in last Mon
days issue of this paper, we must con-
slider the matter talked of in a manner
calculated to give the benefit of the
doubt to members of the order in this
and other jurisdictions. ~
To begin with, and without equivoca-
ton. we will state that there is, I'M
doubtedly, trouble in the jurisdiction
of Illinois, growing out Of the introduce
ton of the graded assessment plan.
But the trouble is solely and wholly
confined to that jurisdiction. It no
more affects us in Utah, Wyoming and
Idaho. or in California or Oregon, or
Montana, than call for an assessment
in the locality named would. So far
as the members here, or elsewhere out
side of Illinois, are concerned, it is no
concern of theirs-we mean the graded
assessment problem. That it has
worked detrimentally to the good of
the order" in the state where it has
been permitted, we can not but believe,
believing, as we do, that the PROPOSE
ton was wrong in the first place, and
should not have been seriously consid-
cred by the Supreme Lodge at all. 4
measure that will create distinctions,
and such distinctions as this one Gre
ates-giving the old the go-by and
the young the preference-shouId have
been strangled at it's birth. But it had
supporters and adherents in Illinois,
who believed that if they were allowed
to make trial they would show that
what they believed in was correct.
They were given the privilege of try
ing it, and what is the result? Accord
ing to the article referred to at the
start of this communication, those who
are affected by the enforcement of the
graded assessment plan, are dropping
out to the extent of some Is or 20 per
cent. These 'droppers-out" are said to
be the old, faithful stand-bys, who
have stood up to the rack, hay or no
hay, for from all the way between ten
and twenty years. And nobody blames
them! Why should they be assessed
81. 25, while younger and more-able-to-
