WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY

Insurance Commissioner VIM. H.
Hotchkiss 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, write you this ex-
preston Of views as TO the necessity
OF your order-as we'll 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 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-perhaps
slowly, but not the less surely
when 1t must fail and it's 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
r.f l.
hciai interview in which he says:
"Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on a sound basis.
This means 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 they have much more
valuable insurance than before. All
are benefited by getting a permanent
insurance for what was uncertain be-
fore. The Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea, by reason of its long experience
with a large membership, is permitted
30 make o rate Upon - own expert.
ence,. which is even lower than that
pdStu On the national FTdternal 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 mem
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-
tion 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 pay more for their insurance,
but let them think how much more un-
pleasant It would be for those 5,000,-
00O women and children, or any OF
them, to be deprived of that protec-
tion because their husbands or faith
ers got angry. That is what all Wood
men should think about"
