Fraternal Insurance Rates.

The Modern woodmen Of America
is only one of twenty-five fraternal
insurance orders with conventions
scheduled for action upon the mat
ter of increased rates as outlined In
a plan formulated and recommended
BY the state insurance commissioners
year ago at Mobile. Ala. Sixteen
fraternals have adopted the plan.
strong opposition arises in the ranks
OF the Modern Woodmen and, no
doubt, will arise in other orders.
The feeling strongly obtains that 1t
is wrong In principle to raise rates to
increase the burden Of insurance
with age. but more insistent demands
urge that II is better to liner aase that
burden than jeopardize the insur-
ance.
The remarkable showing was made
at the Modern Woodmen convention
In Chicago that by January /, 1914,
the order would have attainable as
sets of s3OO.000,o0o, less than
enough to meet the face value Of its
policies. From experience, the ex-
perts are convinced that a higher
level OF fraternal insurance rates
must be created IL fraternal insur-
anee is TO continue. This proposed
action is not the result OF any abrupt
or sudden discovery. Wise heads
have been shaking at some of the
low rates for many years and pre-
dieting Just what Is now taking place.
The workmen and other orders long
ago found 1t necessary to raise their
schedules. They sustained some
temporary losses. but gained In the
end.
Fraternal life insurance has been
boon to many thousands and should
be kept up. Aside from the financial
relief 1t affords In crisis. II fills q
distinct and large social sphere
through its lodge meetings and af-
filiations. In some communities
these are the very center and core of
the best social life. Many men,
women and children find in them
their chief diversion. The institution
has made its own place in the social
and economic life and should not be
sacrificed. but to perpetuate and in
crease its effectiveness. 1t must be
put on q stable basis.

The First Delegates.

The FIRST delegates to be commits
stoned to the republican national
convention in Chicago next June are
two instructed Taft delegates from
the Fourth congressional district OF
Oklahoma The significant feature
is not 30 much that the first dele
gates should be instructed for Mr..
Taft, but that the contest over in
structions should be. not with the
followers OF La Toilette or OF Cum
MINIS, the only avowed insurgent can
didates for the nomination. but with
those bent on endorsing Colonel
Roosevelt, whose attitude as TO his
candidacy Is enlgmaticai.
The republicans OF Oklahoma are.
for the most part. newcomers from
the various northern states, and
hardly to be classed with those in
the black belt states, and their action
may be regarded as reasonably free
and untrammeled. With this start.

the fourth day OF June, when South
Dakota viii complete the roster. The
results of the preliminary contests,
however. will undoubtedly have a

Democrats After the Appropriations

The democrats seem to have agreed
that their anxiety for economy In
appropriations shall not infringe
upon the pork barrel. otherwise
known as the public buildings bill,
and the rivers and harbors bill.
Leader Underwood has done q fine
Job thus far steering the pruning
hooks around these measures. II
takes time. OF course, for Two rea-
sons. chiefly: first. some OF the
newer or less skillfui patriots have to
be tutored In the why's and where
fores OF preserving these psrquisites
intact. and. second. II would not do TO
act hastily for fear Of arousing public
attention.
The potency OF a pork barrel bin
on the eve OF a national campaign ID
thoroughly appreciated by every
astute politician and Chairman I'm
derwood would be stupid leader Of
a militant democracy IL he misguided
II at this crucial point. A good many
communities are involved In a public
building measure carrying spproxi-
mately sl6.o0O,ooo, and possibly a
good many votes. Let the house
orators continue TO pirate about econ
omy. but let them curb their zeal at
the proper place.
Already the democrats have mani
tested the intention Of conducting
their 1919 campaign on the floor OF
congress. Look to some one besides
the cunning Oscar Underwood. there
fore. to make the egregious blunder
Of kicking over the appropriation
bucket or even knocking off a hoop
at this early stage Of the game.

Why Not Get Together!

Surface indications, as NE observe
them entirely from the outside. IN
spires the belief that a sincere effort
by the interested parties to get to-
gether and end the Union Pacific
shipments strike would have better
chance of success right now than at
any previous time.
The strike has now been on for
several months. While the lines have
been sharply drawn, it may be said
to the credit Of both strikers and
strikebreakers that, on the whole. 1t
has been an orderly proceeding, with
comparatively little resort to yio-
lence.
Neither OF the strikers nor the COM
pany win deny that the contest has
been a costly experience, the men
out of work on strike benefits being
deprived OF their full wages when
most in need of them, and the COM
pany being more or less embarrassed.
even though not seriously crippled.
All such controversies. however.
must have an ending. II the ending
could be now brought about on terms
which can command acceptance, 1t
would be a contamination greatly to
be wished by the public. the third
party. whose interest always suffers
in every conflict OF labor and capital.
