rot excepting the political gatherings.
The call will be out officially In
few days in the Kill the Bill" which
is the official organ of the Woodman
insurgents. 1t will provide for dele
gate convention to which every camp
in the state Is invited to send not
more than three delegates prepared to
take up seriously the proposals OF the
head camp at the Chicago meeting.
Every camp in the state not fully salts
fled with the proposed rates is urged
to send delegates.
There are 9SS camps in Iowa with
about $4,000 members. so that the con-
vention is likely to be big thing,
Every camp in Des Moines will have
delegates present as all are "insur-
gent" The delegates will come together
for the purpose of taking action with
regard to the proposed new rates
either to insist on abandonment or
such modification as may seem best.
Soc c;.;..e57=.:on IS o-dsr.
Those back of tile movement say
that the sentiment seems to be general
that unless something is done to pre-
vent the new scheme. from one-half
to three -fourths of the Woodmen will
drop out.
There are 100000 Woodmen in the
country and the business is enormous.
Under the present rates there will be
no double header" needed before 1920
at the earliest. Under the proposed
rates, so the protestants say. there will
be twelve assessments every year with
an increase ranging from 100 to 400 per
cent in the rates, and there will be ac-
cumulated in the reserve fund from
100 to 200 million dollars before any
part Of the proposed reserve fund
is to be needed to pay death benefits.
Opposition to this accumulation of a
vast and not needed reserve fund Is
the basis of the insurgency.
Conventions have been called in 1lli-
pois. Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri
and other states to protest against the
change of rates.

u.s. it is true, some disposition in this
part Of the country to fear that in the
domination of Wall street and the east

these eastern interests is natural. But
whenever the people examine closely
into the plan they viii sec now utterly
impossible it ever would be for the
bankers of any group or section to gain
control. and further it is impossible to
see what benefit they could derive by
so doing if they could. When the whole
plan is explained that fear vanishcs.'
The greatest difficulty. Mr.. Bonynge
says, Is that the people are slow to be
reused to the necessity for some action
being taken. Right after the panic OF
1907 they were ready for almost any
thing Now they have forgotten what
terrors they experienced at that time,
and it may be necessary tc wait for
another panic before the people will
become interested in a remedy.
