ter, to publish this article in justice

THE most serious charge that we
bring against the officers and direc-
tors Of this association is the fact
that during the last three years they
have been engaged in a system of ex-
travagance that has never been used
by any other fraternal organization do
ing business in the limits Of Iowa, or
any other state in the union.
While other fraternal organizations
do not pay out to exceed IL per cent
Of their receipts for expenses the
Modern Brotherhood Of America in
the time stated has paid out over
rs per cent on account OF this excess
sive extravaganza on the part of it's
officers. In this assocla.io in the
last three years, the membership has
dwindled from 10000 members to e.
600 members. The members of the
order have been dropping out. rapidly
because Of the high rate of assesses
lnents and the eXtravagant expendi-
lures on the part Of the officers Of
this association.
I'VE find by the books that there was
paid out during the year of 1913, the
following amounts to field managers
