Another section of the constitution provides thet when in the opinion of the Supreme Regent or Jother Supreme officers, the fund {ts in |danger “of serious reduction through excessive numbers of deaths, the Su- preme Regent may then levy assoss- ment upon the members of the order, thereby obtaining the ceasary reve- nue to meet expenses.

Another section states that changes will go into effect the first day of August, following the Supreme Council's convention, Statement of the Situation, At the last convention a serious nge Was made in the rates, not only on prospective but present ‘members, This change Was the proposed new as- sessment rate, whereby the members ot the order advanced in years, and I might add, years that have made the order what It 1s, are deprived of their rights under their contract with the order and compelled to pay excessive rates to pre- vent loss of membership. ‘Dhie torrid at- mosphere of the Grand and Supreme of- ficers in their bombastic support of the change is deceptive, wherein they state we have for years been too cheaply in- sired, ‘ommyrot!

When the change in rates occurred jn 1688 a howl went up. The excuse for the change waa that tha table to go into effect was the peerless mental production of the atest actu- aries in the world—would never need change and never permit danger. How about that now? The same excuso Is now made for imtroducing this new table of rates. Is that consistent?
