Affecting Insurance.

Barnes of Salt Lake will Introduce
in the house bill on behalf OF the
insurance department by way Of amend
ment TO the fraternal insurance law
passed two years ago providing that
the associations shall make a valuation
OF liabilities on certificates on a GER
tain prescribed reserve basis. This sd-
iustment Will be gradual, so as not to
work unnecessary hardship on the pres
ent members. AS the societies show by
the valuation that they are prepared
TO do so, they will be permitted to
issue certificates providing for paid-uP
values and other surety values on the
reserve basis provided for. In other
words, fraternal societies will be re-
quired to provide for their future SOL
vency as well as the present. The eff.
feet Of the act will be to increase the
membership fees at first, but il will
preveut the danger of radical action
in the way OF big increases later. The
working of the act is illustrated by
certain fraternal society which. some
years ago. was IN Il most hourishing
condition With low rates. AS the mem.
bers grew older and MANY died the
assessments became so heavy that the
rates were raised until now they are
almost nrobibitive and work hardship
particularly on old members The idea
IS to establish a reserve now instead OF
having to do It in after vears.

larceny is the nearest class Of crime

grand larceny involves the theft Of a

this line also, another amendment re-
