WOODMAN CIRCLE
OFFICERS OBJECT
Declare Criticism of Order in1
Reports of Examiners From
'Southern States Has Been
. ' Unjust in Extreme
(From a Staff Correspondent.) -
Lincoln. Oct. 20. (Special.) Offi
cers of the Woodmen Circle are tak
ing exceptions to articles published in
some of the-papers of the state re
garding the examinations of the so
ciety, alleging that the report made
by the examiners was unfair and that
the society had been damaged greatly
by the publicity when the real fac
in the case would not warrant such a
statement.
They allege that "the examination
of the society was made by young
men, two pf whom had never had any
experienceNn the examination of fra
ternal crriptiic nhl l-nw nnthinff
whatever of the practical management
and working jf such societies. Their
criticism of the society was not only
unjust, but in many instances without
a single substantial foundation upon
which to make the same.
"If asrents of the old line insurance
companies had make the examination
it could not liave been made more to
their liking. The examiners valued
the certificates of the supreme forest
upon the exact basis that old line poli
cies are valued. They ought to have
known that the law exempts fraternal
insurance companies from the opera
tion of the law covering old. line com
panies.
Declare Kates enough.
This is the charge made by the offi
cers in a communication to the state
insurance commissioner.
' The rates, according to the com
munication, in the judgment of Mrs.
Manchester, supreme guardian, are
adequate foi all purposes, present and
future, if the management continues
on the same economical basis that it
has during her term of office. To
substantiate this she takes the three
average months of 1917 showing the
income and disbursements of the so
ciety. The total receipts received
from the nembers (not including in
terest on investments was) $512,359.90
and the total expenditures for mortu
ary purposes for the same months was
$311,672.99, leaving a net balance of
$200,686.91 for general fund purposes,
which is more than adequate. The so
ciety has an emergency fund of ap
proximately $6,000,000 in investments
in municipal bonds bearing a rate of
interest of 4.83 per cent.
Continuing, the communication says
that the cost of management has al
ways been low. During the year, 1916
it amounted to only $1.11 per member,
which compares most favorably with
other societies similarly situate!!. In
1915 the society was thoroughly and
exhaustively examined and a para
graph from the report reads: "The
exammation of the records in this de
partment (field work) discloses the
fact fhat the cost of securing new
members is not excessive."
No Extravagance Used.
Sectins of the report t which criti
cizes the furniture, pictures of the su
preme guardian, theater tickets and
luncheons, the communication says,
are too frivilous to give more than a
passing thought. The offices are hot
Extravagantly furnished; the pictures
of the supreme guardian are offered as
prizes for new members and Ha s been
the means ff creating new interest in
the groves and been a valuabl asset.
The luncheon given by the officers
were to visiting delegates and given
as a courtesy to them. The mileage
and per diem of the reprsentativs of
the supreme forest is a matter over
which the executive officers have no
control, as the supreme forest is the
sole judge of those.
It is understood that the officers are'
making a very searching investigation
of the matter and if the publication of
the same has put the society in a bad
light with the public that it may re
soft to legal proceedings in order to
secure its former standing.
