WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY

Insurance Commissioner VIM H.
Hotchliss OF New York, chairman OF
the executive committee of the Ma
tional Convention of Insurance Com
missioners. prior to the last Head
Camp of the Modern Woodmen Of
America. gave the following official
notice to that society:
Pursuant to action of the national
convention of state insurance commits
sioners. at its adjourned session in
December last. l write you this ex-
preston of views as to the necessity
OF your order-as well as all other
fraternal benefit societies-placing
itself on firm foundation as to rates.
An insurance society which in these
days does not recognize that the cost
of insurance is fixed by laws other
than mans laws-namely. the laws of
nature-or prescribes for its men,
bers either a fiat rate, irrespective Of
the age of its members. or any other
rate that is not scientifically safe. Is
deceiving both itself and its members
and approaching the time-perbaps
slowly. but not the less surely
when it must fail and its contracts be
repudiated. The fraternal spirit is a
good thing; but the rates and man
agement of fraternal societies must
also be such that the beneficiaries Of
the last member to die will receive
every dollar that such members GER
tificate calls for"
State Insurance Commissioner
Ekern of Wisconsin has issued an Of
fetal interview in which he saws:
"Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on a sound basis.
This means a re-rating for nearly ev-
cry society, and members who do not
fully understand the situation are
often inclined TO complain of in
creases in their rates. They should
understand that with a re-rating on
a sound basis thev have a much more
valuable insurance than before All
are benefited by getting a permanent
insurance for what was uncertain be-
fore. Fhe Modern Weodmen of Amer
lea, by reason of it's long experience
with large membership, is permitted
" name rate upon IT'S OWN expert
ence, which is even lower than that
based on the National Fraternal Con-
gress table, which new societies must
adopt. The cost of this insurance is
not a matter of mortality tables or
rates charged. but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society. A re-
rating merely means that each men,
Der shall pay his real share Of that
cost. Members who think of drop
ping their insurance will do we'll to
take enough time to study the ques-
ton before doing anything which may
bring regret to both themselves and
their families"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
ut is unpleasant for the members
of the Modern Woodmen Society to
have to Fay more for their insurance.
but let them think how much more un.
pleasant it would be for those 5000.

difficulties and is seeking an arrange

to statement issued by the firm to-

has assets valued at $3,875,00O.
The difficulties of the firm are said

1911. Several leading Berlin banks
are said to be involved.
