amount of insurance in force, and be-
comes a detriment ana added expense
to policyholders.
There exists a strong feeling for a
change in the blank upon which fra
ternal societies make their annual re,
turns or report to the several in
surance departments. The blank now
used consists of eight pages. Recon-
mendatiOns will be offered for a blank
OF II pages, which will exact more in
formation from this class of COM
panies. AS a matter of fact, the in
formation called for will be similar to
that requested of old line companies,
except their policies will not be
valued.
During the last session of the Wis
cons1n legislature, Commissioner Host
drafted a bill, which was enacted into
law, requiring fraternal societies to
furnish annually schedule giving the
number Of members in groups accord
ing to attained ages; the amount OF
insurance in force, amount received
in premiums or mortuary assessments
during the year; number Of deaths and
the amount of death losses incurred
during the year in each group at at
tanned age. This requirement will as
sist in bringing about a readjustment
OF rates on an adequate basis, and will
show whether the younger or the older
members are paying too much or too
little for their insurance.
After the adjournment of the con-
vention, the commissioner OF Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Louisiana with Commissioner
Host will meet in New York to make
final arrangements for the commence
ment of thorough examination Of the
New York Life, after which the
Equitable and Mutual Life will be in
vestigatel. This is in accordance with
plans agreed upon by the commits
sioners in conference a few weeks ago
in Chicago and New York
