ISSUES STATEMENT OUTLINING
PROCEEDING AT MEETING
IN CHICAGO.
Wim+ttiMMnm IMms Ml if. X.
Th«> KxproHR Austin Bureau.
APSTIN, Ton Oct. 4.—Judge (>. S. Lut-
tiniore of the Court of Criminal Appeals,
today gave nut the following:
I was ti delegate to the Sovereign Camp
Woodmen of the World, which met at Chi-
cago In July, and as such was asked to
address a meet lug of the members of this
society at Port Worth on the night M
September 2(1, which I did. I talk very
rapidly, and have been thld by stenog I
raphers that my speeches are difficult to !
take, and to this i attribute the fact that
In the report of what I said, as carried
by most of the leading papers of the
state, there are some things which I did
not say or did not Intend to say. To
correct this, and to further answer In
quiries from members of the society who
are Intensely interested in what was done
at the Chicago meeting In duly, I will
ask you to kindly give space to this:
"I did not say that the W. O. W. had
been in a had way. but did say that, in
common with all other fraternals of which
I had any knowledge, the W. 0. W. had
organized and operated on Inadequate rates
and that a condition had now arisen under
tlu» laws of a majority of the States, where-
by even though It may have paid every
loss and have money Invested or In the
hanks enough to care for Its obligations
for some time to come, a society might not
continue to operate in those States men-
tioned without either Increasing Its rates
or decreasing Its liabilities.
"The W. o. W. Isv now and hns been
nlways actually solvent, but was not, in
contemplation of these laws, actuarllv colv-
ent until that condition was remedied at
the Chicago meeting. At that meeting ade-
quate rates were promulgated for the new
i members coming In after January 1, 1020,
| or for nny old member who might wish
i to re-rate. A provision was also made
I that any old member who did not wish
i to re rate might continue to par the rate*
In existence promulgated in 1017, by hav-
ing established In favor of the society a
lien against his certificate approximating
In amount the difference between what had
been paid thereon by inch member, and
what would bate paid at an ade-
quate rate. Because of the Inevitable fact |
that this amount would be burdensome I
upon the older members of the society, I
its accumulations, amounting to some tliir i
ty millions of dollars, was divided up
among these olders members in proper- !
tion to their ages, and they were given I
credit upon sdld liens. Provision was
made for those who did not care to carry
these liens to pay such amounts into the
treasury and continue to carry the full
amount of their present certificates on the
old 1917 rate for the rest of their lives.
Tills both reduces the liability of the so-
ciety and increases its assets, and when
understood is not seriously objectionable
to any man who cares for his beneficiaries
or wishes success to his society.
"It is as clear as day that the only in-
come a fraternal society has, arises from
payments of assessments, and it Is thor-
oughly understood by its members that
unless the aggregate of these payments
exceed Its death losses, it must cease op-
eration; and if the Income at Its exist-
ing rates fails to meet any requirement
of the law. it is certain that the income
or the law one must be changed. It
seems equally clear that, if any man has
had protection for his family for 25 years,
for which he has paid tin inadequate rate,
it is not fair or just to the other fellow
for him to now be unwilling to pay an
adequate rate or have the amount of his
certificate reduced so that his payments
at the former rate might take care of the
amount of his insurance. Let me make It
clear that the rates are not raised or were
not raised at the Chicago meeting upon
any old member who does not wish to re-
rate; he can continue to pay the 1017 rate
and simply have the amount due his bene-
ficiaries reduced to the amount of insur-
ance which his present rate will adequately
care for.
"There has been some talk of injunc-
tions by some men who have not under-
stood, or who, for reasons best known to
themselves, are unfriendly to the action
of the Chicago meeting. With the utmost
kindness I say that such talk is foolish.
No man or set of men can get an injunc-
tion without being able to snow the court
that a wrong has been, or is about to be
done, and for which no adequate remedy
at law exists. What proof could these
parties offer a court that the action at
Chicago was wrong? I would suggest that
they prepare themselves to make such
proof by paying a disinterested actuary
to investigate the rates promulgated at
the Chicago meeting: and there is no fear
that they will quickly drop the matter,
for the actuary would tell them that such
rates were fair, reasonable, and neces-
sary.
"Some other men have talked about se-
cession, urging that Texas withdraw from
the sovereign Jurisdiction and un a
separate order. This luis less merit than
the injunction proposition. There Is no
such thing possible as the secession men-
tioned, even if a goodly number were con-
vinced by these people that it ought to
be done. There could be a withdrawal
from the society, to be sure, but 111 such
event the next step would be to organize
tin entirely new one. Nothing could be
taken away from the sovereign ean\p by
the aeceders or wlthdrawers. They would
have to promulgate new rates; take new
medical examinations; pay their officers
to conduct their work—and they certainly
wo''1 not be willing to start out on In-
adequate rates. Their old men could not
join, nor could those who are unable to
take medical examinations become mem-
bers. These matters are fixed by laws.
"These »"*ntlemen had a meeting Satur-
day night, September 27, and some wanted
to secede, but a vote on the proposition
was lost by about 00 to 00. They have
called another meeting for the 31st of Oc-
tober, but 1 think by that time they will
have perceived the futility of their course
and the fairness and Justness of the ac-
tion nt the Chicago meeting. Many men
haTo a mistaken idea of Insurance. T hey
fake It expecting to pay little and get
much. Tills is erroneous. There will be
some, indeed, who pay little and get
much, but they are the ones who die
well within their life expectancy, and for
everv one who dies thus there must be
another man who overpays- else the com-
pany or society could not continue busi-
ness. If any man figures on what he
would pay if he lives out Ills expectancy,
be must 'not fall to figure at the same
time how the order or company Is going
to pav death losses on those who die long
before thev live out thetr expectancy,
"I am not an Insurance man. but bare
fnlth in the policies of the W. O. W.,
and am flrmlv convinced that no member
who understands the actions taken at Chi-
cago will seriously object to same; nnd
that more men will now seek membership
than ever before when they come to know
thiit the order \n now on the firmest and
best basis it has eter been on being now
netnnlly and nctnartly solvent and with
rate* adequate to carry and to e*re for
ttfl death lease* for all time to eome."
DEMAND FOR LUXURIES GREAT-
EST IN YEARS, FEDERAL RE-
SERVE BANK REPORTS.
By AssooiJitod Press.
CHICAGO, Oct, 1.—Public demand for
luxuries continues unabated according to
the September report from the Federal Re-
serve Bank of Chicago on business condi-
tions In the Seventh District. In the
language of the statement luxuries "are
beiag gobbled up faster ihan they can be
produced.
"The people will have jewelry and they
want the costliest," the report continues.
"The watch factories cannot keep up with
orders, partly because it Is impossible
to obtain materials and efficient labor.
Prices would go higher but for the policy
of one dominant factor, stated thus: 'We
do not want to see this vicious circle of
advanced prices and costs go on any
longer.'"
The demand for silks, the report says
"is characterized as 'extravagant."
Evidence is seen in the Middle West of
"a rather marked disposition to 'capital-
ize' present prices and conditions, not-
withstanding the fact that they are due
primarily to the war." This is indicated
it says, by the land movement where pres-
ent owners of land, seeking to capitalize
present prices of farm products, are exact-
ing higher rentals and holding for higher
acreage prices, and by the appeal of the
Illinois Agricultural Association and the
Indiana Federation of Farmers to hold
their live stock and grain until a "sane
market has re-established itself." If the
latter movement becomes widespread, it
is declared, it would in a measure defeat
efforts to readjust living prices to a lowef
level."
Efforts to use the cost of living as a
lever to obtain high wages and shorfc
hours, "thus curtailing production an<l
tending to perpetuate the existing hlgti
living costs," are said to make for unrest,
and manufacturers "report an attitude
among wage earners not to work full time
when they have plenty of money in thelf
pockets."
But business in the district Is said to b»
"very good" anil "retailers are selling all
the goods they can get, at high prlcen,
making enough money to cover the in-
creased cost of doing business."
"The demand for the best qualities of
merchandise is Insistent and, regardles#
of newspaper headlines, the people npnear
to have money in pocket to pay for what,
ever they fancy."

Longing for the keen activity, the youthfu
step, the fresh rosy cheeks and the sunny dis-
position of buoyant health is making
many a woman unhappy, discon-
ti nted, wrinkled and old
before her time. Sleepless
nights spent worrying over
supposed ailments, con-
stant dosing with habit-
lormlng drugs and nar-
cotics and useless attempts
to brace up with strong
;offeef do not help the real
cause of their trouble,
which may be nothing more
than lack of iron in the
blood. For want of iron a
woman may look and feel
old at thirty, pale, haggard,
and all run-down—while . at
SO or 60 with good health and
plenty of iron in the blood she
may still be young in feeling, and so
full of lite and attractiveness as to
