Fraternai Insurance.

In the measure that these rates are

The Argus does not doubt that the

provision should surely be made for
the open air recess. The playground

ance have for some time advocated the
creation of a reserve fund in every
society. Some societies already have
reserve funds and these are insured
stability and permanency as long as
the management is able and honest.
But these reserve societies have higher
rates than the societies without re-
serve and suffer some from the com
petition.
IL would seem 10 be the duty of the
state in which societies without re-
serve funds are chartered, and in
states where they are permitted to do
business. 10 adopt legislation requir
ing them to go on a reserve basis,
This might impose some hardships on
the older members of such societies,
but il would safeguard them and prac-
tically insure the payment of their
death claims and the continuance OF
the established reserved rate.
The state likewise should subjec;
these companies to examination by the
