Write to YOUR N embefS

There may be an attempt made
during the present session of the
legislature, providing for raising the
assessments Of the Modern Wocdmen
of America. The purpose of the
effurt undoubtedly, is to cripple thar
popular and benefcent organization by
reducing its membership, by driving
out it's older members, by making the
assessments so high as to preclude the
possibility or their remaining in
the organization. At the present time
the Modern Woudmen of America has
a surplus IN its treasury Of 81, COO, 900
which is constan ly increasing at the
present rate of assessment. 1t is the
poor mans beneficiary organization,
pays all of its losses pomptly and
hundreds of families ere benefited
each year. Every member Of the or
ganization should write at once to
his state senators and member of the
assembly urging them to oppose such
a bill if introduced and defeat it if
pussible, for it is aimed especially
against the best cooperative life in
surance company in the world.
