CHANGE IN K. OF c. LAWS.
The Step Rate Plan Was Adopted Al
 Cliff Haven To-Day.

The Democrat this afternoon re ceived a telegram from Registrar James A. Hynes, one of the K. of .. delegates at Cliff Haven. as follows:
 Knights of Columbus rates increased. Step rate plan adopted.
 This is an icreasing assessment every year. The plan is in use in most of the best assessment companies in the country, notable the Royal Arcanum and the Workmen. Many do not like it, but when the system is full ly understood people realize in it a certain amount of fairness which it is difficult to have under any other plan. By this method the young and the old members pay on a more equitable basis All the insurance companies work under what are known as the loaded table, the step table and the level premium.
