FRATERNAl INSURANCE
Has Right to Increase Rates When
Conditions Demand It.

Albany, Dec. 29.-Emphasizing the
importance of the passage by the COM
ing Legislature Of bill regulating
fraternal insurance, State Superin-
tendcnt of Insurance Hotchkiss, today
denied an application for the cancel
lation Of the license of the Supreme
Lodge, Knights Of Pythias, to do bus
mess in New York. The application
was made by r. Barber, aged IS years,
a holder of q fourth class insurance
certificate in the order. Recently q
similar petition was filed with At
turncy General O'Malley, who held
that the question was one for the
state Insurance department to decide.
Barber complained because his
monthly assessments were increased,
but .Supt. Hotchkiss held that the in
crease was necessary.
"The truth is" says Supt. Hotch-
kiss in a memorandum accompany
ing his decision. that. while many
advocates of fraternal insurance have
long shut their eyes to it, the rep
resentative men of all the societies as
well as the heads of insurance de-
partmcntS in the various states are
now of one accord in the belief that
unless prompt and wise action be
taken by the states in the enactment
OF reasonable legislation. but at the
same time mandatory laws and by
the societies themselves in the re
adjustment of their rates as We'll as
