At the last meeting of the Supreme
Council of the Royal Arcanum an in
teresting report was submitted by a spe-
cial commission regulating assessments.
The plan proposed by the commission
was known as the "step-rate'' plan, and
caused a great deal of discussion. The
Supreme Council rejected this plan, but
was so much impressed with the recon-
mendations that it provided for twenty
one instead OF seventeen assessments,
annually. These are to be paid accord
ing 20 the old scale monthly, without
notice in twelve installments. The eX-
cess realized on any assessment is TO be
turned into an emergency fund.
