Tho system now holding Is the one that Is adopted by all of. the orders In the days of their youth, and that is to go down into their pockets individually when there is a risk to bo paid and make up tho amount of the benefit That is all right while the order is young and tho membership is grow ing, but when tho young men have bocomo old and tho death rate in. creases it will not bo a safo policy for it will drlvo out tho good risks and make tho policies too expensive to bo carried. Under the rates that have been In rorce the old men have not been bearing their share of tho burden, and this was sought to be changed by tho camp at this session.
