Do Not be Misled

The problem that Is a~gitating the
Modern woodmen Of America In
this state Is particularly interest
ING to those outside the order, rs
well 40 those within It, because
of the principle involved. The
contested point Is a proposed in
crease In rates. II is not for out
aiders to attempt to pass on tn
merits OF the case at issue among
the woodmen, but the public will
not be slow TO recognize the i'm
portance OF having the rates high
enough to pay the cost OF the in
aurancc. While the rates imposed
on members OF that order may be
high enough, II will be conceded
that many f~raternal organizations
have been furnishing insurance be-
low cost. That has been possible
because OF the acquisition OF ever
Increasing numbers OF young mem
bers.
II In obvious that pyramiding
could not continue indefinitely
that n time would come when the
insured must expect to pay for
what he gets or eventually there
would be nothing left to get. The
adoption OF fraternal insurance
rates based on accurate mortality
statistics Is n question OF national
importance. There arc more than
nine and a quarter millions Of PEG
pie In this country carrying fra
ternal insurance totaling more
than ten and one-third billions OF
dollars. Every bit OF the protec-
ton implied in those figures
should be fortified by rates that
will leave no chance for disaster.
II is the duty OF the state TO see
that it's citizens are not misled
by insurance schemes that arc not
aound.-St Paul Dispatch.
