It was explained that many insurance companies run regular get-rich.quU.-k scheme under the guise of offering enormous dividends that - -are Wholly Impossible of realisation. It waa shows to be a fact that frequently some wealthy and. influential man In com munity Is offerad secret or special con tract, reducing the cost of the Insurance to him on the promise that he will work for the ends of tha eomnanv in his to- NcsJHv. It further was represented that mauer people who - nss me aw of getting the large dividend, are In. duced to Insure beyond their capacity to pay, but that these dividends, which It was stated are really secret-rebates, go to the rcher memliers ot the community who. It was alleged, do not need them. An address of general Interest waa made by Carlos S, Hardy, of Chicago, on "The Future of : Fraternal " Insurance.?
