.|NADEQUACY
OF FRATERNAL
Insurance Rates Empha-
sized by Annual Report
Of Com. Lemert.
Ry unIted Press Wire.

Columbus, O.. July 13-In his an
nual report on the condition of
fraternal insurance associations, sub
mltted to the governor Wednesday,
State Insurance Commissioners c. C..
Lemert sounds a warning concerning
what he terms the "inadequacy of
fraternal rates.
"The rates of many such associa-
tlons doing business in Ohio are IN
adequate ito enable the associations
to fulfill their promises" he declared
"rhe officers, who are elected because
of their knowledge of fraternal IN
surance, should recommend a read
justment of rates before the time
arrives when Increased rates would
work hardship If not prohibit pay
ment by old members. The members
should be made to understand that
an association can no more meet its
obligations without an adequate in
come than an individual"
The commissioner says possible
remedy would be uniform law in
all states requiring that fraternal
rates be not lower than the rates
recommended by the national frat
ernal congress and four per cent
interest.
According to the report there are
sixty-two fraternal insurance associar
tions doing business in Ohio, OF which
fourteen are Ohio associations. The
total income OF the sixty-two during
1909, was ss5,692,191,s2, while the
total disbursements amounted TO $72,
S58,927,9s, of which $62,772, ,049,34,
was paid for death claims and other
dement's; the rest for Salaries, COM
missions, fees, etc. The total assests
OF all sixty-two associations on Janu-
airy /, 1910, was .$9S,602,b44,25 and
their total Liabilities $11,149.S55. The

Recommended by Him to The iegisla.
ture in his message and as pledged &c
the people of Ohio in the platform
adopted by the Democratic convention
this year at Dayton. He will urge the
lfulfi,iment OF this pledge upon the
next legislature whether if be Demo
cratic or Republican. The act passed
this year which presumes to put a
limit upon the tax rate to safeguard
taxpayers whose property Is being APP
praised for taxation at its full value,
Is so loosely constructed and SO
flexible that 1t provides practically no
Safeguard at all. Governor Harmon
permitted that act to become law
without his signature because to have
vetoed Il would have added chaos to
confusion. Unsatisfactory though 1t
may be, it is a start in the right di-
rection and can be made the basis for
development into a proper safeguard
by further legislation. The action of
the present legislature is the best
proof that nothing better may be ex-
pected II another Republican legisla-
ture is elected this year
The election of a Democratic legisla-
ture viii be necessary TO put into
the taxation laws of Ohio the kind
of protection to taxpayers champion
ed by Governor Harmon and urged In
vain by him to the present legisla-
ture.
Governor Harmon also recommended
to the present legislature that one
state tax commission should super
cede all ex-oflicio state tax boards
But so powerful cog in the political
machine built up by those bosses
who have controlled the Republican
party in Ohio for years with deter
minatlon to rule or ruin is that one
state board which appoints local
boards of tax review that the Repub-
lican Legislature specifically presented
1t In the act creating a state tax COM
mission, and II Is the only state board
that was not abolished. Governor Har
mon Is on record as favoring the wip-
Ing out of this machine board to di-
Vorce taxation from machine politics.
but Of course 1t cannot be expected
that his advice will be needed IL an
other Republican legislature is elected
any more than It was by the present
Republican legislature.
A Democratic legislature win be
necessary to help Governor Harmon
remove this political barnacle from
the state tax system.
A Republican legislature would not
assist Governor Harmon to establish
In Ohio a system for managing state
institutions that is being successful
~ operated in other states, namely,
by placing them all under the control
of one board even though Republican
governors before him favored the
'ame plan. Democratic legislature
