Within tho past few weeks a
number of them havo quit ot

from B0 to 100 por cent and
many .others will bo forced to

ments at tho first of tho year.

Thoso assessments havo ex
posed tho fallacy of tho "cheap
Insuranco" claim, and tho mem
bors who stay in faco tho li
ability of further calls, if tho
losses continue and tho usual
proportion of tho old membors
rofuso to pay up. Membors who
joined theso concerns rccontly
had tholr object lesson as to
choapness promptly, as In ad
dition to their original pay
ments they aro called upon to
pay from 60 to 125 per cent ad
ditional, and with no assurance
that this will end tholr liability.
After January 1, 1922, tho Illi

ed to retire from business in

but thoy refused to pay.
On October 31 tho United
Stales Mutual Automobllo In
suranco Company, o Bay City,
Mich., levied an rfssessment of
SO per cent upon its members.
They refused to pay, as usual,
and in December a receiver
was appointed at the request of
tho Michigan insuranco depart
ment Tho assets wero report
ed as $17,259, with liabilities of
$122,792, largely unpaid claims.
