Wells Fargo operates two daily
solid express trains between New

will probably be an extension of the

WHAT INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS SAY


Insurance Commissioner VIM. II.
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 it's 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 a 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 1t must fail and its 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 benefciaries 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
fetal interview in which he says:
"Fraternal societies generally have
come to recognize that their business
must be conducted on 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
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 it's 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 mem
Der shall pay his real share of that
cost. Members who think of drop
ping their insurance will do well to
take enough time to study the ques-
ton before doing anything which may
bring regret to both themselves and
their families"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
at 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 1t would be for those 5,000.-
900 women and children, or any OF
them, to be deprived of that protec-
ton because their husbands or faith
ers got angry. That is what all Wood
men should think about"
