ganlzation OF new societies with unre-
liable rates is forbidden by law the older
orders must In self-defense retain their
present plans.
II is my deliberate opinion that the
legislature OF Texas which is now in ses-
son. should be requested not only by the
Woodmen OF the World. but by every
other order in the State, to enact Law
prohibiting fraternal insurance orders or
ganized on and after September l, 1901,
in Texas, or out OF Texas, from operating
in Texas with lower rate than that pro-
vlded BY the National Fraternal congress
The standard minimum rates should De
placed on the statutes so that the people
may have preserved to them untmpalred
the blessings of fraternal insurance. Tne
National Ffafernal congress and the Ma
tional Association OF Insurance Commits
sioners have concurred through thelr
committees in the recognition OF the ad-
isability OF such a law In every state
and Territory. In fact the matter Is
now engaging the consideration OF many
legislatures A bill enacting a law of
this character has already been nitro
Guced In the Nebraska legislature. There
is excuse no longer for the organization
OF fraternal insurance society with I'M
safe rates. And the Woodmen of the
World, through the head camp OF turis-
dictiCn &C" should be the first organi-
cation to call the attention OF the Texas
legislature to the necessity for such a
law. with the approval Of this body I
shall appoint a committee on appeal to
the Texas leglsla ture, whose duty 1t shall
be TO prepare for our consideration an
address to the Texas legislature embody-
