FRATERNAL INSURANCE PEG
PIE SHOW GOOD SENSE.

The managers Of American fraternal
insurance societies are showing good
sense IN adopting plans for making
their rates adequate TO meet their
future liabilities. The action Of the
National FraternaI Congress In De
troit, in pledging itself TO increased
rates, followed by the Atlantic City
meeting of the Associated Fraternities
Of America, which Is expected to take
the same action, Is bE, although
long-delayed, step IN the right diree-
ton
Eight million people Of America
carry nearly ten billion dollars OF
fraternal insurance In the past the
rates Of most Of the societies have
not been sufficient TO guarantee the
person insured that his estate would
collect the face value OF his policy at
his death. y movement for higher
rates has been gaining Roadway for
several years, and il Is 10 be hoped the
discussions IN the two conventions this
year VIII result IN the mueh-needed
rate reform
Insurance Is one Of those things for
which cheapuess Is not necessarily a
good argument. The rates OF each
company or society must be such that
1t VIII receive from Its pOiicyholders a
sum of money sufficient, with the
interest, TO meet the payments which
the company promises 10 make when

rates are less than the experience o.
a hundred years has demonstrated 70
be necessary, there VIII come a day
sooner or later when that company
viii be called upon to pay claims
which it has no funds 10 meet.
The fraternaIs have been the worst
Iow-rate offenders in the United
States. Their managers owe It TO
their 100000 polieyholders to put
their CONCERNS on legitimate basis.
