The question OF readjusting the
rates of assessment in the NJ w. A. or
der is one that will be voted on at the
meeting Of the head camp which will
be held In February and every Wood
man should take personal interest in
this question. 1t is one of supreme i'm
portance and aims at the very founda-
tion of the order. 1t Ii proposed to
make the rates increase with the age or
instead Of remaining the same
as when they joined Our opinion is
that there should be no change made
We need not cross any bridges until we
come to them. As the death losses in
crease, and they are bound to do 30,
more assessments per year may be lev
led. This will make It equally fair to
all Not only to those who are now be-
members but also to those who
were in the van in the beg lning. The
principles or fraternal in
surance ia that the society's members
must pay the destt losses and expenses.
No matter what plan a society aoopts
this principal maintains. The present
plan of the NJ W. A. has stood the test
Of years and we see no good reason for
such radical change as that proposed.
