MODERN FRATERNAIS ARE PROSPEROUS and aelentlga Principles ill Boa ad to "aeeeed In Their Mlaslea. V Fraternal life Insurance Interests every body who has A spark of affection for those dear to them. It Is a system of re cent origin. In Its present form, althoinch societies with similar ends have existed as far back' as history goes. It la . gen erally conceded that the first form of life lnsuranoe was the fraternal idea, the mil- Co 1 pledge of individuals to rare for the sick, bury the dead and pay such sum. as might be rained by mutual contribu tions or as stipulated by the articles of the association to the heirs. Soon after the civil war in America there waa a great activity in life Insurance, and a large number of stock and mutual com paniea were organised and were seeking business. The premium rates were ' con sidered beyond the means of laboring men, and they were ready to grasp any propo sition promising mortuary benefits at con alderible lens cost. Out of this condition grew the first American fraternal Insur ance society, orgsnlsed at Mesdvllle, Pa., in ISfi. under the name of "The League of Friendship, Supreme Mechanical Order of the Sun." Its objects as expressed in Its preamble mere "the protection of the worklngmen." J. 3. Upchurch joined it, but, dissatisfied with Its construction, with drew and later in the same year formed the Ancient Order of United Workmen. This soolety was a purely mutual organ ization 'and made provision for the pay ment of not to exceed $2,000 on the death of a member. The amount to be paid on each benefit call or assessment was $1, and the limitation of age was 21 years at join ing and nc medical examination was re quired. First Graded Assessments. Tn 1873 James A. Demaree and seventeen United Workmen members founded tha Knights of Honor, which differed from the first organization in that it deter mined that members over 45 should pay greater sums as assessments than thOTe tinder that age. The Ancient Order of United Workmen abandoned the uniform 11 rate and adopted the graded plan. In 1S78 tha yellow fever epidemic In tbe south gave the fraternals their severe test, and It waa then prophesied that they could not withstand the strain. The Knlghta of Honor had 193 deaths during that year and paid out $386,000 thereon. The pay ment of every death claim at this critical time assured the people that the fraternal insurance order had come to stay. Dur ing the next ten years the Royal Arcanum, National Union. Maccabees. Royal League, Knights and Ladles of Honor, Modern Woodmen of America and five or six other societies came into existence, adopting the Knights of Honor Idea of graded assess ments. A .myriad of speculative or down right swindling societies followed In the wake of tbe better organized bodies, tak ing advnr e of the prestige gained by the yellow fever epidemic test, and many per sons were deluded by tha attractive plana of Insurance offered to gull the public. These swindling concerns were most nu merous In Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Maryland, and the state legislatures set about Investigating them and provid ing means for protecting the publio. Sev eral of the swindlers were arrested and others In the confidence, schemes were forced to go out of business. The genuine fraternal Insurance societies were bene fited by the investigations and continued to gain In publio eateem. Wet Pally Developed. Fraternal life tnauranca Is still largely in a chrysalis condition. State legislatures ; have enacted laws controlling the socle ties, and the very few that hay a "com bine" lo control will sooner or later be curbed by compulsory legislation. The weakness of tha fraternal life In surance system today Is that there are so many societies that Ignore the mortality experience requirements and are deluding tholr members by only collecting from them a sufficient amount of assesmejit or premiums each month to meet the pres ent deaths Incurred, and are making no provision to provide for the payments of death claims In the future. The failure of such aoctetles Is inevitable unless they change their plans. Some of the older societies have been compelled to Increase ths monthly contributions to suoh an ex tent aa to create apprehension among the membership, who, tn reality should not de mur, because they have been getting their protection ' at less ' than cost, and now, when the mortality reaches its normal con dition must be met by Increased contribu tions. In no Instance has the Increased cost been nearly aa lari? as the amount charged by the Insurance companies. New aoctetles Have Reserve. Most of the recently organised societies are profiting by the experience of the more careless, not to say ignorant pioneers, and are accumulating a reserve, equalizing or emergency fund. The rates of assessment are higher than in the careless and Im provident societies and higher than pres ent actual needs, but the surplus is in vested In Its reserve fund and the Interest compounded, so that later on. Instead of a burdensome Increase of assessmsnt rate, or Increase of the number of assessments. or possible failure of the society, tha assessment rate is not to be raised and the accumulation Is availed"' to meet every claim In fulL If a society has made a careful com putation from a standard table of expe rience and states to you that the society must collect a certain rate of assessment at your age, and that a certain per cent of this goes Into a surplus fund to be In vested to meet future actual cost of your Insurance, then you may feel compare tlvely certain that you know the price and can depend , upon It which Is cer tainly a more comfortable feeling than that you are getting something for less than It actually costs and that you will have to meet the deficiency later on, as you certainly will have to do If you as sociate , yourself with any Insurance scheme that lives from hand to mouth and has no reserve, equalisation or emergency tuna. Blllloa la Beaelts. American- fraternal Insurance societies have paid over one billion dollars in death benefits since their organization. During 1904 new members to the number of 876,931 were admitted to the various orders, and at the end of that year 4,K79t41J members were in good standing. At the present time there are undoubtedly V more than S,000.(UO iven and women in America de pending on fraternal beneficiary societies for benefits at death. The older societies are combined In a. national organisation known as the Na tional Fraternal Congress, while the newer are members of the Associated Fraternities of America. Legislation haa been sug gested by the older societies to compel tho newer organization to accept an estab lished basis of assessment or be debarred from doing business, while the existing societies were t.ot held to this requirement. Only four or five states, have adopted this law. and since then unsuccessful attempts have been made le agree oa a uniform bill. The atate Insurance commissioners have prepared and recommended one that even more stringent. When the state laws become uniform and reasonably re strictive fraternal insurance will assume the stsndtng In the world of business it deserves. Commencing In a crude way, with radius of observation, and with no knowledge of the immutable laws of mor tality. It has had to gather its knowledge by experience, which at beat la a bitter teacher. The publio Is gradually becoming educated to the fact that even societies bound together by vows of fraternal lore will find their devotees unwilling to trust to sentiment and fair promises; they de mand a perfecting of the system, so that they will be protected from graft and ex orbitant profits by managers and pro moters of companies and excessive ex penses. To pay death, disability and sick benefit losses at actual rost la the true ob ject and mission of voluntary contribution and fraternal life insurance societies. Meaare la Sebraskn. Another menace in our own state is the assumption by state officials that societies which accumulate a sacred fund to be held In trust, available to carry out Its con tracts without distressing its member Jy extra demands over their established rates of assessment, shall pay tribute to the State; an exaction that haa not been re quired of money making companies. The success of this exaction will be to compel every reliable-society to establish Its head quarters In other states, as no other state has attempted to thus destroy such so cieties and rob Us members of their sav ings deposit. This plan of action, If suc cessful, will result In the creation of un reliable societies, similar to those that have by their own rottenness gone out of existence. Any Institution prohibited from accumulating a safety fund cannot become worthy of public confidence. Its victims will reap a harvest of disappointment, re gret and financial sorrow. J. C. ROOT. OMAtiA AS INSURANCE CENTER Many Companies Have Hradqnarters Here aad State Is Grow ing Raaldly. The growth of Omaha as an Insurance center during the last three years has been very gratifying, not only to the Insurance fraternity, but to the general public. In addition to the life Insurance companies making their headquarters here, there axe now three stock fire Insurance companies, whose home officea are located In Omaha, where their entire tmslnees is transacted. Nebraska, like a majority of the western states, is enthuslastlo over home institu tions, and today if a loyal citizen wants to insure his home he always gives the prefer ence to Nebraska companies. The State Insurance Company of Ne braska was organized three years ago by A. 1. Love of Brennan-Love company. The directors and stockholders of this company are among the leading business men and bankers of 'Omaha and of the state. The company haa a fully raid up cash capital of $100,000 and a. surplus to policyholders of $106.ft40.S. Until recently Omaha as a buyer of high grade bonds for Investment, outside of a few estates, was unknown, but probably no city the size of Omaha, in the west is today Investing aa much money in high grade securities as are the Insurance com panies of this city. The tendency in the Insurance business, like all others. Is con centration, and a well equipped agency to day represents companies doing every known kind of Insurance. Among the lead ing agenclea in Nebraska is Brennan-Love oompany of Omaha, who manage and have charge of the establishment of agencies throughout the state for all kinds of Insurance;- thus a bank or an individual entering Into the Insurance business, can arrange a complete outfit of companies from that firm. Nearly every bank in Nebraska outside of Omaha has an insurance department connected with its business, and represents not only fire and life Insurance companies. but liability, accident, surety, plate glass and burglary companies. The State In surance Company of Nebraska aloha num bers over 250 bankers throughout the state aa Its local representatives. Another significant change In Insurance methods Is that a merchant or manufac turer now having a large amount of in surance to place seldom places It among a number of agencies as in the past. On the contrary, he puts his entire insurance interests in the hands of one agency that has bad experience, not only in the gen eral operation of the business, but which has experienced adjusters and which is financially responsible for any errors which might occur. To any large manufacturing or mercantile concern the Brennan-Love company, through its newly established Sprinkler department," now. offers to In stall at Its own expense a complete auto matic sprinkler system, contracting for tha insurance for a period of years, at the end of which time such system becomes the property of the manufacturer or mer chant. This novel proposition haa already been accepted by a number of our leading property owners, and there are to be found today few cities in the west where more buildings are so equipped than in Omaha, The advantage offered by ita use to the Individual plant Is secondary only to the fact that by a general usage of such devices widespread conflagrations would be impossible.- F.
