WORkMEN MATTERS.
The New Plan of the Order Explained Fully

in Reno this week, adopted the
new plan proposed at the late
session of the Supreme Lodge in
St. Paul. AS considerable specu-
lation has been INDUCED in as to
how this new plan will work
and what it will do, we repro
duce the following explanation
made by ]. G. Tate, Past
Supreme Master Workman, to
the members of Storey Lodge, in
Virginia City, Wednesday night,
and published in the Enterprise:
The A. o. U. w. has been in
existence thirty-fve years. Dur
ing that time it has paid $685.
100000 to families of its de-
ceased members. From 1868
until 1896 it operated under
what was known as the '1evel
plan"-each member paid 81 per
assessment, but there was no
limit as to the number. In 1896
a new plan was put into opera
ton, which fixed the rate accord
ing TO age, and advancing from
65 cents per assessment on
$1,000 at IS years of age to
ST.. 81 at the age of so and over,
At the time the change was
made it was sought to put a
reserve fund in, to be levied with
each assessment, and consisting
of IS cents per month on each
1000 insurance in force. This
feature of the plan was almost
unanimously rejected. Had this
reserve fund been created, the
Order would now be absolutely
safe. The assessments were linn
tied to twelve in any one year.
1t was soon discovered that the
plan was inadequate to pay the
death losses, and at the session
of the Supreme Lodge held in
June, 1908, new rates were es-
tablished, which will put the
Order on a basis, as to solvency,
equal to that of any regular in
surance company in this coun-
try.
The new plan gives the men,
bers the option to choose be-
tween a rate which remains level
throughout life, or a plan which
pays a very small rate in the
early years, but advances with
age until So years are attained,
after which level rate of 81 20
per 81 900 is charged. In order
that the older members may not
be unduly burdened a guaranty
fund is created from the pay
ments of younger members,
which will aggregate the sum of
$3O,OOO,OOO. This money is
divided between the members
now over 55 years, and they
may use it as a reserve to make
their certificates safe, or they
may cease paying assessments
and take it in the form of paid
up insurance.
For example: A member now
years of age, under the new
plan, need pay no more assess
ments, and can take a paid-up
certificate for 5000, which is
more money than any member
has paid into the Order as as
sessments. A member now rs
can take paid-up certificate tor
$1,138. The man now 55 years
old, who pays the new rates,
will have as a reserve, which he
can take as paid-up insurance,
the sum of $500 on $1,000 OF
insurance when he reaches the
age of rs, or 81, 1884 on a $4,000
certificate.

Petitions That Filled Barrels when
the Anti-o Bill Was Up.
In the year 1890, when the oleo ques-
ton was being agitated, the grange
thought it about time that we as an or
ganization began to do something to
protect our interests; therefore we pass
ed some resolutions that we would take
up what is known as the Grout bill and
would use the forces Of organization on
it to see what could be brought about.
Resolutions were drawn and presented
to the subordinate oranges. and 1t was
the greatest surprise the Order ever
had to know that inside Of six weeks
from the time Of the presentation Of
these resolutions the replies came IN
to the legislative Office in Washington
IN such numbers that they actually
filled barrels. Nothing from their con-
stituencies had ever caused such rev.
elation to the minds Of the members of
congress as this did, and what has been
the result? The result was that we
made determined fight from that time
on and won. We did it through the
ization. The dairymen's associations
are today interested, the horticultural
societies, the department of agriculture
at Washington and in our own state
and in almost every state are working
hand in hand with the grange. 1t Is
one Of the most influential organiza-
tions In the country today.-E. B. Nor
ris, Master New York State Grange.
