FRATERNAL INSURANCE.

The recent change in the plans of
the Endowment rank of the knights of
Pythias by which the society was put
on what might be termed substantial
business basis, calls attention to the
matter of fraternal insurance and
some of the defects which the several
societies engaged in that business are
seeking to overcome at the present
time.
1t must be understood by those who
favor fraternal insurance that it pos
sesses no magic wand by which it can
touch the mystic emblem of the order
and bring forth stream of golden
coin to pay the death losses Of its
members. The fraternity has nothing
to do with either the longevity or the
certainty OF death of the members. The
societies require no more critical test
Of physical perfection than do the old
line companies and it is therefore pre-
posterous to contend that the
fraternals can sell insurance cheaper
than can the old line companies If
every thing except the amount of
money required to pay death losses is
excluded. There villa be the same risk
and consequently the same loss in in
surfing a thousand men in Il fraternal
order as there would be in insVrins.
the same men in an old line campanys
These conditions being true, It Is
evident that the difference in the cost
of the two kinds Of insurance must be
in the securing OF new members and in
the handling and disbursing of the
funds. The cost of new business in
the fratetnals according to the most
trustworthy sources, is from eight to
ten dollars per member, while in the
old line companies according to the
statements of the companies them
selves before the Armstrong commis7
sion. it was, from sixty to two hundred
dollars per policy. The cost of dis
tribution is much IL yer in the frater-
nails than in the old line concerns
also.
But with these advantages the
fraternals must come to the idea of
using clear business basis upon which
to construct the building. The trouble
with all the fraternals is that they at
tempted to make their rates too low.
They thought they could combine the
fraternal idea with the business and
give the members insurance at less
than actual cost. The result is that as
the orders have grown older they have
been compelled to advance their rates.
and this has caused large numbers of
the members to drop out, and every
member who quits the order weakens
i Just SO much rs he constitutes .pros..
portion of the entire membership.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-11-09

Yet If one will stop a moment he can
see that this raise, was, inevitable.
When an order is first organized no
members are taken in over the fixed
age-say forty-five For twenty years
there are no deaths from old age and
the death rate is consequently low.
But when the members who were
forty-five when taken in reach sixty
five the death rate from old age in
creases and untilIit adjusts itself SO
that there will be IN approximately
uniform number Of death losses from
this cause annually, the same con-
ditons will remain. When the
societies attempt to readjust them
selves to the new conditions the men,
bers instead of accepting the increase
as an evidence Of good business man.
agement. conclude that an attempt is
being made to initiate the old line
companies and quit, and the society
suffers in consequence.
