have the management.
Temple lodge, A o. Z. W., met on
Monday evening and discussed various
matters TO be brought before the grand
lodge, which meets at Boise, Ida, in
May. Lodge interest seems to center
on the classified assessment plan which
viii come before the grand lodge for
action at its next meeting. The plan
is bitterly opposed by most of the Utah
lodges, but is supported generally by
all of the supreme lodge officials Su-
rreme Master Workman Tate of Grand
Island, Neb., viii be on hand/to repre-
sent the classified assessment plan, and
the contest in the grand lodge prom
iseS to be an exciting one. The plan,
briefly outlined, provides that each
member shall pay according to his age.
This, of course, will be very oppressive
on the old members of the order who
have been faithful for years, and I'M
doubtedly cause many of them to be
suspended because of inability to pay
the increased cost. 1t is also a radical
departure from the level assessment
plan, and takes away much of the fra
ternal beneficiary features and places
in lis stead straight cold insurance,
which is distasteful to the true lodge
man. The four lodges of Salt Lake eX-
pect TO send full delegations to the
meeting q Boise.
