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 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 mem
bers either fat 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 it 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
Ekern of Wisconsin has issued an Of
ficial interview in which he says:
"Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on 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 they have a 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 large membership, is permitted
to make rate upon its 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 matter of mortality tables or
rates charged, but depends upon the
actual deaths in the society. A re-
rating merely means that each men,
ber 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:
'Tt 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 I'M
pleasant it would be for those 5,000-
900 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"

islands. This ukase involved Russia in dis
pute with the United States and Great Britain,
resulting in the treaties of 1924 and 1925,
which recognized Russia's claim to jurisdiction
the whole of Bering Sea, Okhotsk Sea,
and other water inclosed by Russian territory.
From the outset the company placed ra-
tional limit on the number of animals killed
each year, and in the light of later experience
it is evident that the herd would have been
fully able to sustain the annual harvest OF
skins if these had been taken only from the
males. But males and females alike were
slaughtered in ignorance or disregard of the
polygamous character of the seals and
early as 1906 it was necessary to suspend
operations for two years in order to permit
the herd to recuperate.
When killing was resumed, however, 1t was
along the same destructive lines and the
mighty fUr-seal host continued to dwindle un-
til by 1884 its numbers were reduced to one
fifteenth or one-twentieth of those present in
the first years after the discovery of the
islands. The suspension Of all killing for
term of years then ensued, and by the time
operations were resumed the company officials
had come to realize that the females should be
protected. and later the sacrifice of old bulls
and young pups was stopped.
The result was a remarkable recuperation
and increase in the herd that afford valid
basis for the belief that speedy recovery of the
decimated herds of Alaska, Russia, and Japan
may follow the elimination of the factor re-
sponsible for their present condition, namely,
the indiscriminate killing of males and females
at sea. When Russia ceded her Jurisdiction
over Alaska. the Pribilof fur-seal herd had at
tanned degree of prosperity closely approach
ing its condition at the time of its discovery,
and we thus came into possession of a re-
source but little impaired and had knowl-
edge of its significant history to guide us in
its treatment
1t is a cause for congratulation that no coun-
try has dealt with it's seal life in more intel
ligent, humane and Jealous manner than the
United States, and it was cruel fate that for
SO many years rendered our effc-ts futile. The
only occasion when there was Ivy laxity in
our administration of the seal isant1s was dur
ing the first years of our possession, s.sen the
government was still unorganized anywhare in
the territory and various private compSnies
landed parties on the Pribilofs and took seal
skins without any government supervision o.
restriction. 1t was in that year that the lars-
est killing in the history of the islands was
made; the number of skins obtained was prob
ably not less than 100000, and may have
reached 375.O00; but this take was not indis-
