New Era officials quoted from the
death rate table published by "The
Spectator" and representing the ac-
tual cost of insurance from 1890 to
1909 in 20 of the leading and oldest
companies i'm America. The average
cost was $3.50 per $1,000 per annum.
1t is further argued that the adoption
of the Fraternal Congress table will
put the insurance rate on about an
even basis with old line companies
and when the lodge dues of the aver
age fratcrnal society are added the
cost of fraternal insurance under the
proposed law will be i'm excess of the
life rates of the old line companies.
The New Era association has been
practically alone in the fight thus far.
But now the members of the Wood
men and Maccabees are beginning to
take an interest. The New Era folks
point out that the republican form of
government i'm the average fraternity
gives the officers a free hand. They
set forth that the officers are not OPP
posed to law that will increase the
rates providing they are not held re-
sponsible for the increase. The New
Era has asked that the committee wait
in the reporting out of a bill and draft
one calling for the basing of rate on
normal death rate I'm companies and
fraternities writing life insurance
They deplore the basing of rates upor
theoretical grounds. The New Er;
also opposes the proposed amendmen
of Rep. Gansser which, they assert
merely makes it easier for certain
companies to gobble up fraternal so
cieties writing insurance.
The insurance department is in ia
vor of the bill and the committee i
divided on the proposition with the ul
innate result that It will report on
the bill without recommendation an,
probably without the amendment sug
gested by Gansser. In support of thei
position. friends OF the measure poin
out that it will not hit the Woodmei
and other big organizations at all be
cause there is a clause giving organiza
lions OF lUO,uOV lneHlbtiS anu dBtu -
years, the right to base their rates OF
any valuation they may choose. The!
indicate too that while the bill doe
provide for the fixing Of rates on thu
basis of the Fraternal Congress. thi
feature will not begin to be effective
until 1917 and then will provide tina
the rates be increased gradually t
bring the reserve up five per cent ever!
three years. And there is a provis'
that any policy holder who cannot pa!
the increased rates may let them ac
cumulate as lien on the policy to b.
deducted when it natures at his death
In communicative to the committee
the New Era has quoted Rep. Ganss-s
who is foremost among the committee
men i'm the house who are supporting
the bill, as having spoken before a Ba!
City camp of Woodmen and stated IN
would not favor the state fixing rates
\ for fraternal societies and would OPP
pose any such legislation. The com
| munication calls attention to the fac
\ that the Ashley bill will fix minimum
\ table of rates and will be condemnei
/ by real friends of fraternal insurance.
