DISASTROUS IIKI IHRIA1* ENED AT GRESHAM mat Master Hale of Now Write« as th« Mohjeet. Work (Hltecliil I'orrrapondanc« ) I feel myself liicoinpeteut to the task of writing on the subject of grunge life Insuraue«*. but gladly give you tuy |««r- so mil views U| hhi this question. When 1 was connected with the state ami national grange the quentlon of life lusurauce was often discussed In our executive meetings, but finally left without any positive reciMuuieudatloM to the sulsirdlnstv granges. The grange theoretically should Is* as eonipetvut to mauage life as tire Insurance, which they are doing very successfully and profitably In nearly all of the states. One of the serious hindrances to grange life Insurance Is the age of our mem bership. You are aware that a ma jority of our memlier» are past thirty- five years of age. consequently rates must Is* con***poudliigly high If such coiiquinles are to lie and remain tluau- chilly sound, and If they are not so lieyond question It would result In disaster to our Order. We have tiatay several fraternal organisations that are purely life lusuramv. They are so tlrtnlj- establlaiusl that It would be hazardous for our Order to undertake comfietltiou with them. Therefore I believe It should uot l>e done by the grange. No organization In existence has ■»> many Important problems and ques tions before It for solution as the grange, amt until we can solve the problem of how to k<*vp our boys and girls upon the farm ami how to make our farms more profitable it will be wise for ua to leave life Insurance alone. The terrible fact that our farms have ilepriM-latml In value aims* isso *isi>.- ttOO.tlOD; that there are 2t>.(10O farms of fered for sale In'our own state alone at barely the cost of the buildings U|M>n them; (tint Illiteracy Is Increasing U|s>n the farms more than In the city uot withstanding the large Influx of the Ignorant foreign Immigrants; thnt near ly all of otir brightest boys leave the fnrm ss soon as |s>sslt>le until we solve some of these questions I tuink that life Insurance In the grange had lietter l>« left for future consideration.
