FRIENDLY SOCIETIES (TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT BY THE REGISTRAR OF).
Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly pursuant to " The Friendly Societies Act 188-2," Section 5, Subsection (8).
Mr. Chaeles Hakdwick, in tlie preface to his able work on friendly societies published in 1859, expressed his " belief that the spirit of investigation now aroused will continue to grapple with the " question till these valuable institutions shall become purged of all financial error, and their " capabilities for the common good, consequently, more completely and effectually developed." 2. Nearly thirty years have passed since the above was written and, although the financial position of many societies in this colony is very unsatisfactory, New Zealand has shared in the progress predicted by the author of the "Manual." A few societies were established here on a sound financial basis. A considerable number have recognised the necessity of raising their rates of contribution, although they have hesitated to make the remedy applicable, or fully applicable, to existing members. For these there is a possibility of eventual success if good management and a favourable sickness experience are combined whereby they may tide over the critical period of their existence. But for the others whose members ignore past experience there can only be one result absolute loss and disappointment. The bankruptcy of a friendly society is so long deferred that warning of the impending disaster is unheeded by those whose ignorance of their own ignorance on the subject disposes them to indifference and sometimes even to an assertive denial of the correctness of the data and deductions on which such warning is based. The following extract from a recent report of the Executive Council of the A.O.F. is calculated to convince all thoughtful members of the reality of the danger. " For some years past all who have watched the working of our order have foreseen that, " sooner or later, the finances of some of the courts would become inadequate to meet their " liabilities. In some instances this unfortunate state of things was entirely the result of the " members paying inadequate contributions for benefits which they expected to receive but which " their contributions did not warrant. Some of these courts were established at a period when " little was known about vital statistics or the importance of a graduated scale of payments being " adopted for all the members. Pioneer courts which owe their distress mainly to this cause are " generally admitted to be deserving of the greatest amount of sympathy from the order at large ; " but, unfortunately, there are many other courts which, when their members found their existing " scale of contributions sadly deficient, made no effort whatever to remedy this defect, although " repeatedly called on to do so by successive Executive Councils. What a few years ago was only " looming in the distance has now become a reality. The cloud which at one time was com-' " paratively small has now assumed large dimensions, and courts which by timely effort on their " own part might have kept themselves right, in common with courts which have struggled hard " and long against their fate, are now seeking aid from the High Court funds or shelter as High " Court members." 3. In England it has hitherto been the practice to refuse to register an amendment of rules providing for the reduction of sick pay unless members then in receipt of benefit were exempted from its operation but, at the urgent representation of some of the leading societies, the English Eegistrar has recently conceded the point. That there are two sides to the question cannot bo denied, and the Unity Magazine contains a very temperate article on the subject, from which the following extract is taken.

" So long as any reductions are on principles of mutual equality and affect all members alike there "is little room for uneasiness. But it is idle to ignore the fact that lately there has been quite a " scare organised against one particular form of benefit, the quarter or reduced pay in cases of con- " tinuous sickness ; and an unfortunate desire has been shown in many cases to adjust the me"- " quality between assets and liabilities by reducing or striking off this benefit while leaving others " untouched. A very little consideration will show that the immediate effect of this falls with " great severity on the older members, frequently a comparatively powerless minority. How far " their rights can be allowed to be entirely at the mercy of the majority is a question of policy of " the first importance which may come to closely affect the whole principle of affiliation. The " system of arbitration affords an appeal from local decisions on comparatively minor matters of " dispute, and the frequency with which the branch decisions are reversed as to matters of sickness " pay by tribunals of a broader and more independent character goes to show that the branches are "By no means infallible in dealing with the rights of the members. Surely, then, it will be neces- " sary for the societies to regulate their powers on some broad principles of equity, where such a " vital matter as the continuation or alteration of the benefits promised to a member on joining is " involved." In the Registrar's opinion sick pay in chronic sickness is the last benefit which ought to be reduced, and in New Zealand 10s. a week may reasonably be regarded as the minimum. If members are not willing to contribute sufficient in order to provide a higher rate of sickness benefit than this for temporary illness, it would be better to have a uniform rate of sick pay rather than dole out a miserable pittance to those members whose need and suffering are the greatest. 4. " Fifty Years of Friendly-society Progress " is the subject of a series of papers by the Eev. J. Frome-Wilkinson in the Odd-Fdlcnvs' Magazine. The following are the w 7ords in which he concludes his review of the affiliated orders.' "To sum up the leading features in fifty years of reform is all that space will allow of. Its "characters are written in the history of the gradual introduction and growth of financial prin- " ciples and better government. In the financial department, valuation must stand first because of " the lessons it has taught and because of other improvements it showed the need for and directed " the way to, such as graduation and the formation of funeral funds on equitable principles; while " underlying all progress must, of course, be placed the maxim that the benefits promised by the " society should not exceed those which the contributions paid for them can legitimately and with " safety carry. In the history also of graduation we have the slaying of the most terrible enemy " to a sound financial condition that has ever warred against the efficiency of the friendly-society " system—the charge of a uniform contribution to members at all ages of entry. To be rid of such a " fell disease is like the ejectment of an undermining and life-destroying consumption preying upon " the vitals till the outwardly fair (to the eyes of the casual observer) fabric falls in hopeless ruins. " Significant, too, in its warning is the absolute failure of heavy extra fees for members joining "at higher ages to check this evil. The fate that has overtaken the application of the supposed " remedy should admonish members that no quack pseudo-scientific methods of treatment will do " aught but increase rather than alleviate the condition of the patient Friendly- " society institutions are rapidly arriving at a crisis in their history when progress 'will be sadly " checked or still firmer ground attained. Societies are beginning to understand that almost con- " tinuous sick pay to old and past-work members means a drain on the funds such as has never " been paid for. Their case is like that of a city whose water-supply is proving to be insufficient " for increased and increasing demands for which provision had never been made. There is only " one remedy in either case, the increase of supplies. The funds of no society will stand continuous " sick pay. The first society that popularises a sound scheme of superannuation and educates its " younger present members and all future initiants to take shares in it will be the premier friendly " society of the future, will never capitulate to the attacks of want aud pauperism, but will provide " a shelter to the end against the ills industrial life is heir to." 5. In Appendix I. is shown, in a graphic table, the percentage of members sick during 1887 in lodges comprising 100 members and upwards, calculated for each order; also the highest and lowest percentages occurring in any one lodge. In most of the orders the number of lodges represented is too small to afford even an approximation to a standard value, and the very wide divergence between the highest and the lowest experience proves the worthlessness of averages except when large numbers are under review. 6. A similar fluctuation is noticeable in the table of the average duration of sickness per member contained in the same appendix. 7. The average experience of the total of all the lodges included in these tables exceeds that of the total of all that are included in the compilation of the New Zealand statistics for the decade 1873-82 in each particular, as appears from the following tabulation.
8. Information as to the forms kept in the Registry Office for the convenience of societies and sent free on application is to be found in Appendix VI.

24. Averages and percentages deduced from the tabulated returns for the years 1880-87 are given in Appendix IV. Valuations. 25. Of the members of friendly societies very many are too careless of the future to be interested in the solvency of their lodge, while others are misled by the reckless assertions of a few who, utterly incompetent to form an opinion on the subject, do not hesitate to assert, with a confidence in proportion to their ignorance, that the rates of contribution are adequate to provide the benefits assured. Outside the ranks of friendly societies many are asking, "How can a sound society be distinguished ?" There is a simple answer to this question. The result of a society's valuation is the true index of its position, so that it is easily within the reach of every one to ascertain whether a society is established on a secure foundation, and whether it is being managed with prudence and care. From time to time, paragraphs are inserted in the local newspapers in which the membership and funds of friendly societies are set forth, accompanied by congratulatory remarks on their financial position and numerical progress. These notices cannot be regarded as trustworthy evidence of the soundness of the society. If societies would publish their true position as ascertained by valuation the public would have an exact means of deciding which of them in any
Twice amended during the year. The word "lodge," when applied to all societies, is to be understood as embracing the synonymous terms "court," "tent," &c, as used in the various orders.

Of these 102, in regard to 18 " inadequate contributions " is assigned as the sole cause, #nd in regard to 76 as one of the causes, of such deficiency. 31. In 7 of the 39 which show a surplus in respect of the branch benefit fund, such surplus is more than swallowed up by the deficiency in the central body funeral fund. 32. Of the 11 separately-registered lodges, 1 shows a surplus and 10 a deficiency, and of these 10, in regard to 7 " inadequate contributions " is assigned as the sole cause, and in regard to 3 as one of the causes, of such deficiency. 33. The position of the funeral- fund of the lodges of the U.A.O.D. established in Victoria is referred to below (paragraph 54). 34. Such being the general result of the valuations of the year, the advocates of an adequate scale of contributions as a condition of registration will doubtless find therein an argument in favour of their contention, while others, recognising how slowly the best changes in human progress are effected, prefer to accept the advance made along some portion of the line as an augury of good omen. For it may be hoped that the ground that is gained by means of voluntary action will be steadfastly held by those who thus in sound financial principles have taken the lead, and that others also may be induced thereby to move forward. 35. It is a noteworthy fact that the societies in which some bond of union, whether religious or social, other than that of mutual insurance of life and health, is a sine qua non of membership, are conspicuously the worst financially. 36. On those societies whose financial position has been declared unsound, and especially on those which for the second time have been weighed in the actuary's balance and been found wanting, the Eegistrar urges immediate reform both on the ground of self-interest and also on that of honesty. Worse than the folly of a blind disregard of earnest warning is the action of those who admit a new member into their society which has been shown to be actuarially insolvent without informing him that, if he shall live to be old, there is no reasonable probability that he will receive the benefits which he is being led to expect ! And it should be borne in mind that the breaking-up of an insolvent society does not affect its own members only. Its collapse brings discredit on all kindred societies, because the general public do not distinguish between the sound and the unsound. 37. Included among the valuations of the year are those of the two districts of the Independent Order of Eechabites as well as the Grand Division of New Zealand of the Sons and Daughters of Temperance. Members of a total abstinence society seem to imagine that in respect of health they possess, on an average, an advantage over the members of societies whose rules do not forbid a temperate use of alcoholic drinks. No satisfactory evidence from colonial experience has, however, been adduced in support of this view. On the contrary, the history of the 1.0. E. in Victoria for the years 1877-86 shows that its sickness was more than 6 per cent, higher than the expectation as based upon the M.U.1.0.0.F. 1866-70 experience. It is true that in the said society the mortality during the same period and judged by the same standard was comparatively light, but the combined result, when estimated by its money value, can scarcely be said to prove the existence of any advantage in favour of this special class of society. As a low rate of mortality is necessarily followed in future years by an increased percentage of members at risk, it is not unlikely that the gain resulting from the deferred payment of the funeral benefit will be outweighed by the additional liability on account of sick pay. If ail the members of a total abstinence society had been brought up in the observance of the vow, possibly among such a low average sickness for each year of Life might be found to exist; but, even so, the extra number of years during which the members, under the assumption of a high average longevity, would be at risk for the sick benefit would most probably raise the value of the average sickness, when summed up for the whole of life, to the disadvantage of the society's position regarded from a pecuniary point of view. 38. The Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Sons and Daughters of Temperance of New Zealand, in his address at the annual meeting of the society last year, urges the members of the order to " try to convince abstainers that the Sons and Daughters of Temperance, as a benefit society, stands pre-eminently above societies whose members are not abstainers." And the Grand Scribe, in his report, speaks of the " stable character of our position." In justice to other societies, and in the interests of those who may be invited to join the S.D.T., the above statements cannot be allowed to pass unchallenged. A reference to the valuation report! dissipates, alas, the claim to pre-eminence and stability. 39. In Appendix 11, a table is given, showing, in a graphic form, those of the societies and branches valued as at the 34st December, 1887, which earned as interest during the preceding quinquennium an average rate of 5 per cent, per annum and upwards.
A surplus or deficiency of loss than Is. in the pound is disregarded. See Paragraph 59.

S.D.T. —Grand Division of New Zealand. H.A.C.B.S.—New Zealand District. 41. Summaries of the results of the valuations are given in two tables (Appendix III.). Table A shows— 1. Number of members at the date of valuation ; 2. Present value of benefits; . 3. Present value of contributions to benefit funds ; 4. Value of accumulated benefit funds ; 5. Surplus or deficiency; 6. Average surplus or deficiency per member ; 7. Average age of members ; 8. Average annual contribution, per member, to benefit funds; 9. Average value, per member, of accumulated benefit funds; 10. Bate of interest, per annum, dredited to benefit funds (average for quinquennium); 11. Surplus or deficiency at previous valuation (average per member). Table B shows— 1. Eatio to liabilities of— (a) Present value of contributions to benefit funds; (b) Value of accumulated benefit funds ; (c) Total assets; (d) Surplus or deficiency; 2. Causes of surplus or deficiency. For convenience of publication the causes assigned for the surplus or deficiency disclosed by valuation are indicated in Table B by means of letters referring to a list prefixed to the table. 42. An epitome of the valuation reports and occasional extracts therefrom are given hereunder. Valuation op the New Plymouth District, M.U.1.0.0.F., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wright.) 43. In this district, there being no central funeral fund, the death claims are provided for on the "equal levy" system. This method has been condemned as financially unsound and in practice unjust to the younger branches. The valuer reports that the contributions are inadequate, especially those charged to members admitted prior to July, 1887. With one exception the lodges show a deficiency, the Excelsior Lodge being saved from a similar fate by its favourable sickness experience and its profitable investments. Valuation of the Wellington District, M.U.1.0.0.F., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.) 44. In this district the " equal levy " system which the valuer, in his report for the quinquennium 1878-82, pointed out as having been condemned by authorities on friendly-society finance is still in existence. Two lodges only appear with a surplus. These are the fortunate possessors of some town property which is valued at a sum considerably above the original outlay. The chief cause of the deficiencies is the utterly inadequate rate of contribution paid by original members. In the oldest lodges the sickness experience exceeded the expectation based on the data of the M.U.1.0.0.F., 1866-70. Britannia and Antipodean Lodges. —The valuer reports a surplus of £1,930 and £1,300 respectively. This is, however, contingent on the correctness of the value at which the freehold property is estimated. As the valuer states, the property does not earn 4 per cent, upon the principal as set down in the return. This, therefore, for the purpose of an actuarial valuation, exceeds its true value. The sickness experience has been heavy, especially in the amount extending beyond twelve months' duration. Rose of the Valley Lodge. —A large deficiency is shown, and the cause assigned by the valuer is that the contributions of the old members is utterly inadequate, being less than one-half the amount sufficient at the youngest age. When those who are paying under this absurdly reduced scale cease to form a majority the lodge may determine that they shall receive benefits only in proportion to their payments, and no reasonable argument could be adduced against such a course. The old members would do wisely to be guided by the valuer, who advises them to raise the rate of their contribution voluntarily. Another cause of deficiency exists in the form of a hall which has proved, as usual, an encumbrance. Kainapoura Lodge. —Notwithstanding the small membership there might with good management have been a fairly satisfactory result. Here, however, is a conspicuous instance of the folly of sinking money in a hall wHich has involved a serious loss, and rendered the financial condition of the lodge apparently hopeless. Rose of Sharon Lodge. —Upwards of 40 per cent, of the benefit funds are invested in a hall the worth of which is returned at £226. If> as seems likely, this property is far too highly valued, there is a serious deficiency.

St. George Lodge. —The valuer's advice offered at the time of the previous valuation having been disregarded, it cannot be a matter for surprise that a deficiency again results; and, if the old members are to receive the stipulated benefits, the funds contributed by the young men will have to be taken to pay them. Unity Lodge. —As usual, the hall has proved a ruinous investment. Had the funds been prudently placed at interest it is probable that, owing to a very favourable sickness experience, the financial position of the lodge would have been good. Combination Lodge. —The money sunk in the hall has been borrowed from the benefit fund. This is illegal, and, whatever be the present value of the property, the amount must be credited to the benefit fund. Heart of Oak and Masterton Lodges. —A tery serious deficiency is shown resulting from " inadequate contributions." Oreytown Lodge. —There is still a deficiency, although a considerable improvement has taken place during the quinquennium. This lodge is burdened with a hall, but, fortunately, the amount spent upon it is not very large. Petone Lodge. —This lodge was established in 1882, and it might have been hoped that after the losses experienced by other societies its members would not have sunk their savings in a hall. The portion of the contributions credited to the benefit fund is stated by the valuer to be inadequate, and, moreover, as not being in accordance with the rules. Valuation op the Motueka District, M.U.1.0.0.F., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.) 45. The following remarks are extracted from the valuer's report to the district officers : — " I regret to have to lay before you'a statement showing a serious deficiency. Nevertheless it " will readily be admitted that it is better to be made aware of the true position of affairs, though " unfavourable, than to go on in ignorance of it until, perhaps, the application of a remedy becomes " all but impossible. The cause of the deficiency disclosed by the valuation is not far to seek. It is " to be found in the fact that your contributions are insufficient to provide the benefits promised. " Other minor causes have been at work, but the one which I have mentioned is the main and all- " sufficient one. The contribution is insufficient at the younger ages, and, being ungraduated, of " course this discrepancy largely increases in the case of members admitted at the higher ages. " . . . . Your district was formed when the parent orders in England had not yet been aroused "to the necessity of setting their houses in order. You have only lately been registered, have not " been valued before, and have therefore missed the useful counsel and guidance which other " societies have had, and, in many instances, have availed themselves of." The valuer concludes his report by recommending— "1. The formation of a central funeral fund to which contributions shall be payable " according to existing members' present age ; " 2. An addition to the rates of contribution of existing members, regard being had to the " ages of the members at entry and the position of the lodge as now disclosed ; " 3. For future members the imposition of a scale of contributions adequate to the benefits " assured, and equitably graduated according to age at entry." Widow and Orphan Fund. —Owing to the inadequacy of the contribution which is ungraduated there is a considerable deficiency. As the valuer points out, a uniform rate of payment by members at all ages is more than unusually unfair to the young men, by reason of the very great variation in the respective liabilities. Valuation of the North Westland District, M.U.1.0.0.F., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Black.) 46. The lodges in this district, with one exception, show a surplus. The deficiency in the Waimangaroa Lodge results, as the valuer points out, from the adoption of the "equal levy" system. Since the date of valuation, however, a more equitable basis of contribution to the district funeral fund has been brought into operation. The surplus in each case results in great measure from the excellent investment of the funds, for which the lodge officers justly receive from the valuer due praise. Valuation of the Ashley District, M.U.1.0.0.F., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.) 47. The scale of contributions in this district is most satisfactory. As a set-off against this, nearly all the lodges have suffered more or less from the "building mania." If the accumulated funds had been wisely invested, a substantial sum would have been available as a nucleus for a superannuation fund, and the district might have had the credit of being among the first in New Zealand to initiate this essential addition to the completeness of friendly-society finance. The present mode of providing for the funeral claims should give place to some sound and equitable system. Valuation of the Geand Lodge of New Zealand, 1.0.0. F., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.) 48. A notable illustrations of the fact that solvency does not depend solely on an adequate scale of contributions, which has been approved by an actuary, is afforded by the results of this valuation. In some lodges in which the management has been good, a surplus appears; in others, not less favourably circumstanced, a serious deficiency is shown. The following is an extract from the valuer's report:—

" Some lodges are unfortunate enough to own a hall. If I wished to work a lasting injury to " a friendly society, I would present it with a section of land. I know of several cases where such " a fatal gift has been made with fhe Best intentions, but with disastrous results. I cannot help " thinking that it is quite time for the Legislature to step in and prohibit the sinking of the benefit " funds of societies in these speculations, which not only swallow up the capital embarked in them, " but often prove veritable horse-leeches in the constant drain which they cause on the resources of " the society. In any case the disastrous nature of these so-called investments has been so clearly " shown that the governing bodies of societies ought really to take the matter up, and forbid any " further appropriation of funds in this direction." Pioneer Lodge. —There is no evidence of the correctness of the value of the property as returnedNo interest is being earned. The surplus, therefore, is purely hypothetical. Leith Lodge. —The result of this valuation is much less favourable than that made at the end of the preceding quinquennium. Alfred Lodge. —This lodge has been financially very successful during the quinquennium, a»d, not having burdened itself with a white elephant in the form of a hall, has passed from a deficiency at the previous valuation to a surplus. Star of Canterbury Lodge. —The financial position of this lodge, though nominally worse, is actually better than at the former valuation. Alexandrovna Lodge. —The remarks made above in reference to the Pioneer Lodge are applicable to this lodge also. Unity Lodge. —This lodge, though favourably situated in a chief centre of population, has so mismanaged its affairs as to call forth the severe remark of the valuer that either it should determine in future strictly to carry out its rules, or dissolve. Victoria Lodge. —The valuer says that there is, according to the return, " a net balance of £197, "provided the value of the landed property is correctly stated. Of this I have no means of judging; " neither can I give any opinion on the anomalous circumstance of a lodge which has been in " existence for twelve years possessing no cash whatever and being in debt beside, since I have not " been supplied with any information aa to the financial transactions of the lodge during the past " five years except a cash account for the last six months." Linden Lodge. —In this lodge there has been misapplication of benefit funds and general mismanagement. Southern Gross Lodge. —ln the success of this lodge is seen what a good resxilt a branch of this order under able management can accomplish, so greatly does success or failure depend upon other causes in addition to an adequate scale of contributions. Pioneer of Southland and Star of Auckland Lodges. —There have been some irregularities in the past with regard to the funds, in spite of which there is a surplus. The secession rate for the quinquennium is very high. Washington Lodge. —The following is an extract from the valuer's report: "There is one " item in your balance-sheet about which I feel it my duty to caution you. I allude to a ' section of " land, £75.' Now, it is bad enough to have £75 lying idle, but if you contemplate making any use " of this section, as is too often the case, by building a hall on it the consequences will most likely "be utterly disastrous. Should such an intention exist, I can only urge you in the strongest terms "to abandon it. Within twenty miles of where your lodge is situated are to be found as many " societies which have become all but hopelessly crippled in their finances through having changed " hard cash into land and buildings." Prebblelon Lodge. —A small surplus is shown; but in every lodge whose members are few there is danger from possible extreme fluctuations in the sickness experience. Alma Lodge. —-The recent enormous decrease in membership has left few to share the funds of the lodge. The consequence is that a surplus appears, but the result cannot be regarded with unmixed satisfaction. Wallace Lodge. —On the assumption that a correct estimate has been returned of the value of the property there is a small surplus ; but without better management and strict application of the benefit fund there must ensue financial ruin. Bidgley Lodge. —The valuer reports that owing to imperfect information ho cannot offer a certain explanation of the deficiency. KaivakoAva Lodge. —The surplus is the result of a favourable sickness experience combined with a heavy secession rate. The numerical weakening of the lodge increases the risk of an abnormally heavy sickness in the future. Gladstone Lodge. —The surplus would have been larger had there not been misapplication of the benefit fund. Maiaura Lodge. —Notwithstanding two sources of weakness—a hall and a paucity of members —there is a surplus. Kaeo Lodge. —There is an estimated surplus, but no interest has hitherto been credited to the benefit fund. The membership also is too small for safety. All the other lodges included in the valuation have been recently established, and nothing in the several reports appears to need special comment. Valuation of the Auckland District, A.0.F., as at the 31st Decembee, 1885. (Mr. Wright) 49. An exceptional feature in the rules of this society is the provision that members permanently sick are cut off from benefit when their sickness has extended over two years. The option of accepting £10 in lieu of all further claim upon the funds is offered to them. The valuer thus refers to this rule :—
8
H.—2.
" Your district does not fully carry out the principles which guide and actuate either your " parent society or those of most other friendly societies." This is a very mild mode of characterizing such a mischievous provision. It cannot be that the members realize how great violence is done to the bond of friendship and brotherhood by the operation of this rule, whereby are cut adrift from the society those whose specially severe afflictions ought to entitle them to all the greater sympathy. It cannot be doubted that every case which shall arise where the irrecoverably sick man is left, so far as the society is concerned, to live and die a pauper, will bring discredit upon the very name of friendly society. There is only one court which shows a surplus, the deficiency being caused in all cases primarily by "inadequate contributions," increased in some courts by negligence-in regard to the investment of the funds. The surplus of Court Pride of Parnell is contingent on the correctness of the value placed upon its invested capital. ♦ Valuation of the Canterbury United District, A.0.E., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.) 50. The district funeral fund and the sick fund of each branch, except that of Court Pride of Courtenay, show deficiencies, the contributions being inadequate, especially those paid by the members who entered before a graduated scale was introduced. The valuer comments on the fact that the contribution to the funeral fund is a fixed amount instead of being graduated according to age at entry. As the valuer also points out, in a society which is financially unsound those claims which have matured have been paid in part out of funds which should have been reserved to meet future liabilities. This is practically an unjust appropriation, on behalf of one class, of money which in equity belongs to another class. It is to be hoped that the day is not far distant when men who desire to invest their savings will not be satisfied to join a society without inquiry as to its financial position. Valuation op the United Otago District, A.0.F., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.) 51. There is a large deficiency in the district funeral fund which, as was to be expected, exceeds the amount of deficit at the former valuation. The valuer urges the society to take immediate action and raise the contributions to this fund to an adequate rate. In five courts out of the fifteen there is a surplus in respect of the sick fund, but Court Enterprise is the only one which, when the deficiency in the district funeral fund is taken into account, shows a net balance in its favour. The valuer in his separate reports to the various courts offers sound advice according to the respective positions and requirements of each, and rightly warns them of the inevitable consequences of further neglect. Court Pride of Dunedin. —There is a nominal surplus which the court's share of the deficiency in the district funeral fund converts into an actual net deficiency. Court Pride of the Lake. —A considerable portion of the benefit fund appears to have been misappropriated. Also, as is usually the case whenever a hall forms part of the assets, the rate of interest credited to the benefit fund falls far short of the average. Court Enterprise. —The court benefit fund is in a very satisfactory position, but the surplus is largely reduced owing to the liability caused by the deficiency in the district funeral fund. Court Robin Hood. —Nearly all the funds of the court have been sunk in a hall, with the usual disastrous result. The benefit fund has earned no interest during the quinquennium. It must therefore be concluded that a fictitious value has been set upon the property. The receipts and expenditure in connection with the hall should have been kept and shown separately so that the net profit or loss might have been readily ascertainable. Court Pride of the Leith. —Although the valuation shows a deficiency, the court's position has considerably improved during the quinquennium. This improvement has been effected partly by the operation of the graduated scale of contributions and partly by the satisfactory rate of interest credited to the benefit fund. Court Bruce. —The valuer states that, prior to the quinquennium, 1883-87, a portion of the benefit fund had been illegally transferred, and that in the division of the interest earned since 1882 the management fund has been credited with an undue share. Court Star of the Dunstan. —An improvement in the financial position of the court has taken place during the quinquennium mainly in consequence of the light sickness experience. There is still, however, a deficiency. The freehold property, estimated at £150, does not appear to have any effective value. Court Pride of Oamaru. —Considerable improvement has taken place during the quinquennium, but there is still a small deficiency. Court Star of TuapeJca. —There is a serious deficiency. The valuer reports a large decrease in the average contribution per member since the last valuation. No explanation is offered of this. Failing a radical reform, there are some among the members who are destined to eventual loss and disappointment. Courts Pride of Alexandra, Roxburgh, and Excelsior. —In each of these courts there is a nominal surplus which their respective shares in the deficiency of the district funeral fund convert into an actual net deficiency. % Court Haveloch. —The benefit fund has been trespassed upon for management purposes, and there has been negligence in regard to the investments. Courts Star of the South and St. Andrews. —There is a deficiency in each of these courts, but a considerable improvement in the financial position has taken place during the quinquennium.

Valuation of Court Southeen Cross, A.0.F., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Leslie.) 52. This court was at the date of valuation registered as a separate society, but has since become a branch of the South Canterbury District. An increase in the deficiency at the former valuation is the result of the transactions of the quinquennium 1883-87. The members will do well to be guided by the valuer's sound advice, and apply the remedies which he recommends while the effort is within their power. Valuation of Court Coromandel, A.0.P., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.) 53. This court is an isolated one, with a very small membership. Its financial position, however, is reported as satisfactory; but, as the vajuer advises, an effort should be» made to increase its number of members, as great risk attends the existence of all societies which are not large enough to ensure a reasonable expectation of something like average experience, especially of that relating to sickness. * Valuation of the Pioneer Lodge, U.A.0.D., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.) 54. Owing to the fact that the contribution to the central funeral fund is paid to the Grand Lodge at Melbourne the valuers of the New Zealand lodges have been unable to ascertain the actuarial position of New Zealand's share of that fund. Mr. Owen, the Government Actuary in Victoria, has valued the society in that colony, but does not appear to have been informed that the New Zealand branches contributed to, and are entitled to a share in, the accumulations of the central funeral fund. If this error be corrected there is every reason to believe that not only does no surplus exist, as reported by Mr. Owen, but that there is a considerable deficiency. The valuation of the sick fund of the Pioneer Lodge shows a deficiency, and the cause assigned is " inadequate contributions." A similar result has been arrived at, and the same explanation has been offered in respect of each branch of this society in New Zealand which has been valued either last year or previously. 55. The names of the other lodges in this order valued as at the 31st December, 1887, are as under :■—■
56. The following extracts are from the valuer's report to the Albion Lodge : — " It thus appears that under this view of the case there is a deficiency in your sick fund of over " £404, and, seeing that the present value of your contributions to the central funeral fund falls so " far short of the funeral benefits (namely, over £260), I may be permitted to doubt whether it is "in any better condition than your own sick fund. It is true that an opinion has been expressed " that the funeral fund of the central body is in a solvent position, but the manner in which the " lodges in this colony have been valued—if at all—or what share of the funeral fund has been " apportioned to them—if any—is not at all clear. And I think that it is to be regretted that a " society with so many members as the Druids should not have one or more central bodies in the " colony so that all the finances might be entirely under their own control It is all " very well to be jubilant on quarter nights when the secretary reports that the membership has " increased by so many members and the funds by so many pounds ; but what if every member " who has joined means a loss to the society instead of a gain ? And "what, too, if the funds have " increased by £10 or £20 in the quarter or half-year when they should have been increased by " £100 or more ? If a trader is in the habit of selling all his goods at less than cost price, however " long the payment of his bills may be deferred, you all know what the end will be sooner or later. " By any one who knows the conditions of the case, any increase in the membership of a society " charging inadequate rates can only be viewed with extreme regret, for it means that men are " being deluded into thinking that they are making a sure provision against times of sickness and " distress, when in fact they are playing a hazardous game of chance, in which those who fall sick " the soonest and the representatives of those who die early are likely to get full benefits ; whereas " the young and the healthy—those who live the longest and pay the most —will have to submit in " their old age to greatly increased payments or great curtailment of benefits, perhaps to the " breaking up of the society, and the ruin of all their hopes of assistance at the very time it is most " urgently needed." Valuation op the New Zealand Disteict, 1.0. E., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wright.) 57. The district funeral jund is reported as solvent, but there are deficiencies varying from 2s. 6d. to ss. 2d. in the pounfl in the sick funds of the several tents. The valuer ascribes the deficiency in each case to " inadequate contributions," and urges the establishment of a new scale. If members are not willing to pay more, the only alternative is to reduce the benefits. The valuer kindly offers his services to the society in any effort it may make towards reform.

Valuation of the New Zealand Genteal Disteict, 1.08.., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.) 58. In five of the tents of this district, out of the twenty-four included in the valuation, there is a surplus in respect of the branch sick fund, but in three only—viz., Hope of Wellington, Rope of Napier, and Excelsior (Waipukurau)—is there a net average surplus per member when the deficiency in the district funeral fund has been deducted. In tents Haste to the liescue and Sir Wilfrid Lawson the average surplus is less, in the latter considerably less, than the average deficiency in the district funeral fund. As to the remaining nineteen tents, there is a deficiency, more or less serious, in the branch sick fund ; and to the average deficiency in each branch must be added the average deficiency in the district funeral fund, in order to ascertain the total average deficiency per member. One argument employed by the advocates of total abstinence is that the amount spent in alcoholic drinks could be put to so much greater use, either as expenditure or savings, that poverty, if it did not actually cease, would be comparatively unknown in the community, if absolute prohibition were in force; but, if members of friendly societies founded on total-abstinence principles are able, in New Zealand the majority do not show themselves willing, to pay adequate contributions towards insurance against sickness and death. The following is extracted from the valuer's report to the district officers : — " I regret to have to lay before you a statement showing so serious a deficiency. As, however, " your district has already been valued and found to show a deficit, you will probably be prepared " for some such result. The reason which I assigned in my last report is still sufficient to explain " the existence of the deficiency—namely, that your contributions are inadequate to provide the " benefits promised. It is true that a considerable portion of your members pay contributions " graduated according to age at entry, and this is so far an improvement on the old system of uniform " rates. But, unfortunately, the rates which you have adopted are not sufficient, and the society " starts with a balance against itself in the case of each member whom it initiates. Ido not know " whence the scale which you have adopted was derived, and can only conjecture that a scale which " had been adopted by some other society was taken, and an all-round deduction made from the " rates found therein, possibly on account of the total abstinence which forms a condition of " membership in your society. If this has been done I think it has been a mistake. It would " have been far better to fix the contributions at rates which you might have felt sure were safe, " and left the profits which might have accrued from favourable experience to be appropriated after " they had been earned. This is the plan which is adopted by life assurance societies which have a " separate section for total abstainers. They do not assure the latter at lower rates than are " charged to the general public, but they give them the profits which accrue in their own class, " including any special profit derived from the practice of total abstinence. Now, if this is the only " prudent system to adopt with regard to life assurance, it is still more necessary when to this risk "is added the far more complex one of sickness assurance. For it must never be forgotten that a " low rate of mortality works unfavourably as far as a sick fund is concerned. For it is evident " that if your members die less rapidly than those of other societies you have a larger number " exposed to the risk of sickness throughout each year of life, and at the advanced ages this becomes a " very serious matter. With regard to the funeral fund itself, the present deficiency is greater, both " absolutely and in proportion to the number of members, than it was five years ago. This increase " is due to the fact that, since the date of the last valuation, you have largely increased the " funeral benefits without raising the contributions. At the date of the last valuation the funeral " donation was £20 on the death of a member and £10 on the death of a registered wife. It has " now been increased to £30 on the death of a member whether married or single at the time of his " death, and in the case of the married members £10 of this sum is advanced during the lifetime of " the member if his wife dies before him. In the case of all members dying unmarried, and of the " married members whose wives survive them, you have therefore increased the benefit by one-half, " and these additional concessions have been granted without one sixpence being charged for them. " Little wonder that the fund, which was in a bad position before, is now worse. I have heard the " opinion expressed that the present benefit is simply equivalent to £30 payable on the death of " each member, married or single. But this is not so. For, in the case of all members who become " widowers, the society advances one-third of the sum assured before it would otherwise become " due. I observe that there are still 157 members occupying the exceedingly anomalous position of " being entitled to the above-mentioned liberal benefits and contributing absolutely nothing to the " fund. Now, as nothing can come out of nothing, it is self-evident that, as these gentlemen do " not contribute towards providing the benefits payable to themselves and their heirs, these benefits " must be provided out of the contributions of the remaining members. It is as well for both " parties to this arrangement clearly to understand the value of the transaction as it stands "at present. As I before remarked, sickness assurance is of a much more complex nature " than life assurance. The position of a funeral fund can therefore be much more easily compre- " hended by any man of ordinary intelligence and without any special technical knowledge than " that of a sick fund. We all know that death is certain, and that human life has certain assigned " limits. Now, let us see how the very simplest speculations bear upon the sort of contract which " you are making with your members in this matter of life assurance. Making allowance for half- " benefit members, you have in force 785 policies for £30 each, or a total of £23,550. Your'pre- " mium income is a little over £150 y or an average of 4s. per annum for each benefit member. " Now, putting interest out of ftie question for the moment, each of your members would have "to live one hundred and fifty years to provide the sum assured out of his contributions. lam " quite aware that the question of interest does enter into the calculation, but can any one " seriously maintain that its effect will be sufficient to make up for the enormous deficiency in "length of life which you must experience? ... A continuance of the present system
11
H.—2.
" simply means that the representatives of those members who die comparatively early will receive " much more than their share, and that those who live to a considerable age will find that they " can only receive very much reduced benefits, or will have to pay much higher contributions, or " both. Whether this will be just to those who will have contributed the most to this fund I must " leave to yourselves to determine. Since commencing this report I have had placed in my hands a " paper containing various notices of motion for your forthcoming district meeting. Judging by " these notices, it would appear that the disproportion between the funeral benefits and the con- " tributions has not escaped attention in the society. I observe also that one tent has given notice " of a motion bearing on the anomalous position of those of your members who contribute nothing "to the fund, while they are entitled to full benefits. But in the notice gives by Tent No. 17, " although it is proposed to reduce the funeral benefit from £30 to £20, this reduction is accom- " panied by a corresponding reduction in the contribution to the fund. I need hardly inform you " that this alteration would be absolutely valueless as far as raising the fund to a solvent position "is concerned. ... A few words on the sick funds of the tents as at present constituted. I " must congratulate you on having introduced a scale of contributions graduated according to age "in place of the old uniform rate. The pity is that this scale is, I am afraid, not sufficient for its " purpose. But there is another danger to which your order is especially exposed, even if your " contributions were adequate, to which I desire to draw your attention. I allude to the number "of tents among you which are numerically weak. Out of twenty-four tents which are included in " the present valuation ten have less than twenty members. "Without going into the question of " what number is necessary for safety, it will readily be seen that those numbers, at any rate, are " far too small; for it must be remembered that one case of sickness uses up, on an average, the "contributions of fully thirty-five members. And yet yours is eminently a philanthropic and " missionary order, and it seems a pity-that you should be deterred from opening tents in country " places where the numbers available must necessarily be small. The only way out of the difficulty " is the adoption of some plan by which the sickness risk would be spread over a wider area, as is " the case with the funeral benefit at present. On this subject I see that Tent No. 20 has given " notice of some very important resolutions, which are deserving of your most earnest consideration. " The first of these resolutions would render imnecessary the establishment of female tents, which " must probably, from the nature of the case, always be limited in number of members. I have " called attention to this in my reports to your two female tents, in which I have advised amalga- " mation with some male tent. If this alteration of law is carried there will probably be no diffi- " culty in carrying out this recommendation. . . . But the last of the resolutions proposed by " this tent is by far the most important. I am aware of certain objections which may be made " to a scheme for centralising the sick fund, chiefly founded on the alleged increased probability of " malingering; but, allowing these objections their full weight, I consider them as nothing in com- " parison with the absolute dangers of the present system of small tents. There are points of " detail about such a scheme as to which I do not feel called upon to express an opinion here, but " the general principle has my hearty concurrence." Valuation op the Grand Division, S.D.T., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wiggins.\ 59. Eleven branches are included in this valuation, nine of which contribute to a central sick fund as well as to a central funeral fund. Of the remainder, the Progress division does not contribute to either central fund, and the Say of Hope division contributes to the funeral fund only. The valuer, while approving of the establishment of a central sick fund, points out the utter inadequacy of the contributions for this purpose. Furthermore, the raising of the rates of benefit and the lowering of the rates of contribution immediately before the completion of the valuation manifests a thorough disregard of consequences, especially as at the previous valuation five out of seven divisions showed a deficiency. The only branch which at the recent valuation is reported as having a surplus is the Progress division, which continues to work on the original scale of contributions and benefits. The valuer's forcible comments on the position of the society are as follow :— " The causes which have led to the large deficiency disclosed by the valuation are easily " ascertainable. The society has been the victim of that passion for cheapness in preference to " safety which has proved disastrous to so many kindred institutions. As far as I can judge from " the information before me it would seem that several alterations have been made from time to " time in the rules relating to contributions and benefits. I have before me the rules of one of the " divisions which were registered in 1879. . . . Since that time the following alterations " have been made, and they have all been in the same direction—that is, the society has undertaken "to give more, and has agreed to receive less. . . . Since you have been thus ' burning the " candle at both ends,' and since the valuation necessarily takes cognizance of the present value of " contracts to be carried out in the future, you will probably not be surprised at the large deficiency " disclosed by the valuation. But even this is not all. Supposing that the rates of contribution " had been sufficient for new entrants, even then the Grand Division took over the sickness liabilities " of the subordinate divisions on terms that were not safe for the central fund and were unfair to " members of new divisions. ... A plea is sometimes put forward by men occupying leading " positions in friendly societies in favour of the retention of rates which are admittedly inadequate, " to the effect that other societies are doing the same, and if adequate rates were adopted members " w Tould drift off to other societies. That there should be any grounds for such an apprehension " augurs ill for the intelligence and discernment of the classes from among whom friendly societies " are chiefly recruited. IWit must be evident that the contract made when a member joins such "an institution is merely between the individual and the group of individuals. There is no outside " body to guarantee the fulfilment of the contract if it results in a loss. So that, if the members " do not as individuals put enough into the chest, they cannot draw out what is promised, any rules "or by-laws to the contrary notwithstanding. No amendment of rules can make a sovereign
12
H.—2.
" produce more than twenty shillings. Life assurance companies are simply friendly societies on a " larger scale. Now, the competition among them is at the least as keen as among the societies. " Yet who ever heard of an assurance company attempting to gain business at the expense of its " rivals by reducing its premiums below the rates shown by experience to be necessary? And why "is this? Life insurance men are not more scrupulous than friendly society officers. But the "business men to whom they appeal for support must have a keener sense of the stability which is " to them a necessary qualification of the institutions to which they are asked to confide their " savings. I venture to assert that, if a life assurance company came into the field offering assur- " ances at (say) half the rates charged by established institutions, instead of doing a large business " in consequence of this apparent cheapness, its promoters would do little or none; and after the " publication of the first report, in which the prgmiums were declared insufficient by an expert, its " officers would find their occupation gone. The discrepancy between your contributions and your " benefits is so considerable that the question as to whether any allowance should be made on " account of your members being total abstainers does not arise. Personally lam inclined to tlfink " that you may reasonably expect some profit to arise from this source. At the same time I am " bound to state that the experience of your society as compared with that of the other New " Zealand societies d.oes not at present confirm this opinion. In any case, I submit that it would " be far wiser and safer to provide for the amount of sickness which general experience leads you to " expect, and, if profits arise from the experience being more favourable than the expectation, your " members would reap the full benefit of such profits in the future. If your members are content " to look upon the society as a sort of medical club, providing themselves and their families with " medical attendance and being able for the next few years to make an allowance, at any rate, " during temporary sickness, well and good. But, if they are under the impression that they are " providing a fund which will be available during old age and its consequent infirmity, it is my duty "to inform them, in the most emphatic manner, that they are leaning on a broken reed. It is " quite impossible out of the present contribution to form a sufficient reserve to meet the claims " which must arise in the future. The only remedy for the unsatisfactory state of affairs, to which " I have been compelled to draw your attention, is a thorough overhaul of the rates of contribution " and their being largely increased, in order to bring their values into equilibrium with that of the " benefits. . . . This condition of affairs, it is apparent, is the very opposite of equitable, " and without justice such expressions as fraternity, &c, sound like a solemn mockery." The "pre-eminence " of the society thus appears to be very far from an enviable one, and the Grand Secretary's idea of its " stability " is not indorsed by the valuer. Valuation of thb New Zealand Disteict, H.A.C.8.5., as at the 31st December, 1887. (Mr. Wright.) 60. Eighteen branches are included in the valuation. In respect of each is shown a deficiency per member varying (inclusive of the deficiency in the central funeral fund) from £8-89 to £21-14:. Previous valuations of the Order, both in New Zealand and Victoria, have shown similar results. The valuer points out how utterly inadequate is the rate of contribution, and how manifestly unfair to the younger members is a uniform payment, irrespective of age at entry, and adds :— " It therefore cannot surprise the members of your district that the society shows a large " deficiency ; indeed, so bad is the position of more than one of the branches that, unless immediate " steps be taken to improve their position by the charging of a much higher rate of contribution, I " fear they will not continue many more years as branches, but will be compelled to break up for " want of funds." Negligence in regard to the investment of funds is also in many of the branches a further cause of deficiency. Tkade Unions. Begistration. 61. The New Zealand Federated Bootmakers' Union was registered under " The Trade Union Act, 1878," during the year 1888. Amendment of Bules. 62. Complete amendments of rules were registered on the application of the Federated Seaman's Union of New Zealand and of the Operative Bakers' Association of Dunedin; also a partial amendment of the rules of the Dunedin Operative Bootviahers' Union. 63. A list of registered trade unions as at the 31st December, 1888, is given in Appendix VII. Edmund Mason, March, 1889. Registrar of Friendly Societies and Trade Unions.
