* The word " lodge," when applied to all societies, is to he understood as embracing the synonymous terms " court," " tent," &c, as used in the various orders. 8. In Tables 1., VI., and VII., attached to this report, the respective district totals include the funds of the central bodies. 9. In the final column of Table I. is entered the average surplus or deficiency per member, as shown at the last valuation of the society. 10. In the monetary tables, except the first, shillings and pence have been omitted, there being no apparent advantage in publishing the values more accurately than as shown by the nearest pound. 11. The number of members of these lodges at the end of the year was 26,013. 12. The following balance-sheet gives their total funds (including those of the central bodies) as at the 31st December, 1889 :— Funds. H Assets.

14. The average sickness per member at risk has been calculated for the year 1889 in respect of lodges established twenty years and upwards. The number of members at risk was 11,091, and the average sickness per member 1-57 weeks. It is instructive to compare this average with the averages in the Manchester Unity in England for the quinquennium 1866-70, as shown in the following table taken from Mr. Eatcliffe's report, in which the lodges are grouped in districts classified according to density of population : —
15. The sickness during the year 1889 in two lodges of the Otago District, M.U., affords an illustration of the extreme variation which frequently occurs among small numbers. The average sickness per member in the Naseby Lodge was 0038 weeks, while that in the Waitahuna Lodge reached the unprecedented height of 6-184 weeks, the ratio between the two being as 1 to 163. 16. The percentage of members sick and the average sickness per member at risk in lodges containing one hundred members and upwards at the beginning of the year, is given in graphic form in Appendix 11. 17. Averages and percentages deduced from the tabulated returns for the years 1880-89 are given in Appendix I. 18. The incompleteness of the returns at the date when this report was sent to the printers rendered it impossible to publish a table of statistics for the year 1890. Valuations. 19. An examination of the valuation reports for the year conclusively shows how unsatisfactory must be any attempt to generalize the results. The widest divergence between average values in the lodges which are thus accidentally brought into juxtaposition appears in a surplus of £20-7 per member as contrasted with a deficiency of £22'3. Even within the smaller field of vision, which embraces one society only at a time, the branches exhibit marked contrasts in respect of their financial position. 20. Every valuation which discloses a surplus may be regarded as furnishing an answer to those who would make the adoption of certified rates of contribution a condition of registration. As the fact becomes more and more widely appreciated that both honour and substantial reward follow the introduction of a sound system and careful management, and that those who neglect these essentials must bear the blame as well as the loss of failure, it may be hoped that societies generally will recognise the responsibility entailed by freedom of action, and adopt measures for the perfecting of their thrift. With the exercise of a little more patience, if public sentiment continues to grow in the direction which it has taken of late years, it will come to pass that a society in an insecure position will be looked upon as a reproach alike to its members and to the order to which it is affiliated. Neither must it be forgotten that the due adjustment of a scale of contributions to the value of the benefits assured is not the only condition requisite for continuous success. Those, therefore, who would enforce a compulsory rate at the start should consider whether they are prepared to apply the principle throughout. An actuarial certificate, if required as a condition of legal recognition, would consistently be followed by periodical certificates of solvency. Every society insuring against either sickness or death should be required, in the public interest, periodically to publish, or furnish for publication, a true statement of its operations and position ; and if such publication does not act as a sufficient warning to members and others, it is difficult to understand what better means of protection can be afforded, unless, indeed, a society financially unsound were declared an illegal society, which extreme action few probably would be found to advocate. 21. The valuations have been based on the same assumptions as in former years. It is not maintained that a standard once selected may not be varied, but at present no adequate reason appears for a new departure, except in the single instance of societies whose members are pledged to abstinence from intoxicants-. In regard to these, the valuers will be instructed to base their calculations on the experience of the Independent Order of Bechabites in England, recently compiled by Mr. Neison. Neither have the results obtained .been modified on any account. For if, in a valuation of the prospective assets and liabilities of a friendly society, an adjustment of values deduced from a selected table be made in roughly approximate accordance with the experience of the soeiety for the period under review, comparison between the respective results of two successive valuations

is rendered worthless; as in a relatively small society it is most improbable that there will be, in respect of both periods reviewed, a similar deviation from the standard. A favourable or an excessive sickness and mortality among a few hundred, or even a few thousand, members during the limited period of a quinquennium affords no sufficient warrant for a haphazard increase or decrease of values. If an examination of the past history of a society should distinctly bring to light conditions that are likely to exercise a permanent effect upon the rates of sickness and mortality, then certainly the valuer's assumptions ought to be modified in accordance with such conditions ; but it is because the society's actual experience is admitted to be insufficient as a basis for a table of present values that we fall back upon some wider experience whereby to estimate the future. If, for example, the sickness experience of the societies in this colony, so far as it has been tabulated, showed a manifest increase or decrease as compared with the English standard, the effect of such difference should be taken into account; but if the soundness of the assumption, which is based on the experience of upwards of a million years of life, be called in question, it may be answered that there is more probability of error in the assumption that the sickness in a small society affords a reliable indication of what may be expected in the future, especially when it is considered that the actual experience is found to vary greatly, not only in the several branches of a society, all existing under similar conditions, but also from year to year, and from quinquennium to quinquennium in individual lodges, and that the average total sickness of the colony cannot be adduced as evidence of probability of considerable variation from English experience. Nor should the fact that a lodge is so well served by its trustees as to realise for a few years a high rate of interest upon its accumulated funds be deemed a sufficient ground for assitming a higher rate than that which on general considerations can reasonably be regarded as approximately probable, on an average, for the lifetime of existing members. On the other hand it may fairly be assumed that, although there has hitherto been negligence or mismanagement in regard to investment of funds, trustees will in future be found to manifest greater zeal and ability in the discharge of the duties of their responsible office. On one ground, indeed, it may be argued that a more stringent method of valuation ought to be employed. A death-rate lower than that assumed in the calculation of present values and premiums, in conjunction with a sickness-rate equal to that assumed, would involve financial loss. Whether or no the mortality experience of New Zealand will continue to repeat itself, and the after-lifetime at each age show a better record than that obtaining in other temperate climes, such experience indicates at least a probability of a favourable average in respect of longevity, while the recorded total sickness affords no evidence that a similar advantage may be anticipated in respect of health. So far, this liability to error has not been provided for. Hereafter it may be necessary to take the contingency of this adverse combination into account. Meanwhile the profit on well-invested funds will act as a partial compensation. Moreover, it is possible that, by reason of a diminishing rate of sickness following upon advances in physical and economic science, or by reason of an unexpected distribution in respect of the periods of sickness duration, the difference in money value may fall to a minimum. 22. An improvement during the quinquennium is recorded, of a more or less marked character, in the financial position of a considerable number of the lodges valued, due partly in many instances to a favourable sickness experience. And yet the table (Appendix II.) showing the percentage for the year 1889 of members at risk who were sick and the average sickness per member in lodges consisting of one hundred members and upwards, grouped according to Orders, repeats the evidence of former years in respect of the wide range of the sickness experience in single lodges, while the average of the whole remains nearly constant. Such marked fluctuation proves the necessity of allowing a margin for safety even when a surplus appears on valuation, especially when the membership is small. 23. In the societies valued the average annual sickness per member ranges from 0-10 weeks to 2-68 weeks, the contrast between a light and a heavy experience resulting partly as a consequence of the higher ages of the members of the older lodges, and partly, probably, from the fact that, although town life and town occupations in New Zealand cannot be said to be severely trying to health, the conditions of life in the country districts are favourable by comparison. 24. Of the New Zealand lodges of the U.A.O.D. only the sick fund is capable of valuation, the accumulations of the funeral fund being held by the Grand Lodge in Victoria. The last published valuation of the Grand Lodge funeral fund having been made under a misconception in consequence of imperfect information supplied to the actuary, it is to be regretted that the error has remained uncorrected, especially as there is reason to believe that there existed a serious deficiency. It is announced that there is a proposal to reduce the annual contribution to the funeral fund from 6s. to 4s. per member. The Eegistrar hopes that the good sense of the majority will avail to avert the adoption of such a measure without actuarial advice. The only branch of the Order in New Zealand that has yet registered a graduated scale of contributions is the Blenheim Mistletoe Lodge, and it is also the only one whose assets are equal to its liabilities.!;; 25. The figures in the column in the valuation summary, in which is shown the rate of interest earned during the quinquennium indicate great differences in.the amount of attention and care bestowed on matters of finance by the various lodges. They also bear witness to the fact that a careful investment of funds, although essential as an adjunct to adequate rates of contribution, goes but a very little way in making up a deficiency arising from the initial failure to establish a scientific relationship between the scales of contribution and benefits. Of thirty-three lodges, the mean annual rate of interest on whose funds during the quinquennium exceeded 5 per cent, twentythree show a deficiency ranging from 6d. to 4s. Bd. in the pound.
* Since the above was written an amended graduated scale has been registered by the Excelsior Lodgo, U.A.0.D., tincl it is reported that other lodges in this Order intend to take similar action,
5 H.—9. 26. The valuations of the undermentioned societies were made as at the 31st December, 1889:— M.U.l.O.O.F.—Hawke's Bay District, Wanganui Lodge, Otago District. N.l.O.O.P.—Auckland Provincial District. B.U.O.O.F.—Wellington District. A.O.F.—Hawke's Bay District. U.A.O.D.—Lodges Hope of St. Albans, Excelsior, Oak of Sydenham, Myrtle, All Nations, West Harbour, Endeavour, Blenheim Mistletoe, Turanganui. 27. Summaries of the results of the valuations are given in two tables (Appendix V.). 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 ; i. 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. Eate of interest, per annum, credited to benefit funds (average for quinquennium); 11. Surplus or deficiency at previous valuation (average per member). Table B shows— 1. Ratio 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. 28. Societies have been notified by the Treasury that after next year the quinquennial valuations will be made in the office of the Registrar free of charge. Societies wishing to have their valuation made by a valuer selected by themselves must engage the services of a valuer duly authorised, and be responsible to him for his fee. A copy of the circular is attached (Appendix VI.). 29. The New Zealand United Legal Friendly Benefit Burial Society, established at Auckland, after a very brief existence, came, during 1890, to an untimely end. Although the society's dissolution involved loss to some hundreds of persons, its career was fortunately brief, so that great hardship was suffered only by very few. It is to be hoped that the experience of those who have been victimised may serve as a warning to others, and that no similar institution will find persons in New Zealand willing to intrust to it their savings. In connection with the failure of the abovenamed burial society, it may be mentioned that a Select Committee of the English House of Commons was appointed to inquire into and report upon the operation of that section of the Friendly Societies Act which relates to collecting societies and industrial assurance companies, and to suggest what amendment of the law (if any) is required to insure the better management of such societies and companies and the more complete protection of their members. In their report the Committee distinguish between friendly societies proper and collecting societies, the former being " promoted and conducted for the benefit of the members," and the latter being " promoted and conducted for the benefit of the managers." They recommend, among other things, that collecting friendly societies and industrial assurance companies be registered under a special Act, and that the terms of this Act be made more stringent than the present section of the Friendly Societies Act which relates to these classes of societies. 30. From time to time societies have been informed, in some instances in reply to inquiry, that a trustee may not concurrently hold the office of either treasurer, secretary, or auditor in the society or branch for which he is trustee, and that a trustee may not borrow money on mortgage from the funds of his trust. 31. Under section 13 (4) of "The Friendly Societies Act, 1882," " A member may nominate any person, not being an officer or servant of the society or registered branch, unless such officer or servant is the husband, wife, father, mother, child, brother, sister, nephew, or niece of the nominator, to whom any moneys payable by the society or registered branch on the death of such member, not exceeding £50, shall be paid at his decease, and may from time to time revoke or vary such nomination by a writing under his hand similarly delivered, or sent; and on receiving satisfactory proof of the death of a nominator, the society or registered branch shall pay to the nominee the amount due to the deceased member, not exceeding the sum aforesaid." As it has been frequently contended that the will of a member is a sufficient revocation of such nomination, and as the decisions of Magistrates and County Court Judges on the subject have been conflicting, a case was submitted by the Board of Directors of the Manchester Unity to Sir Horace Davey, Q.C., whose opinion is as follows : — I am of opinion that the execution of a will by a member disposing of his funeral benefit without delivering or sending the same, or a duplicate thereof, at or to the office of the society, so as to comply with section 15, subsection 3* of the Friendly Societies Act of 1875, is not a sufficient revocation (as between the society and those claiming under the member) of a valid nomination previously made, and that the person named in such nomination can give a good receipt to the society. It would, however, be prudent for any society to obtain the concurrence of the executor in the receipt where it can be obtained, but I do not think they can insist on it unless the executor gives them notica not to pay to the nominee.

32. For the information of societies the following paragraph is copied from the Otago Daily Times of the 18th October, 1890 :— A point of considerable importance to those concerned in friendly societies has recently been determined by the full Court in New South Wales. The interests of the societies and of their members depend very much on the interpretation put upon their rules, and, when light is thrown on their meaning by legal decisions, it is desirable that the effect of the new reading should be clearly appreciated. The issue in the case under notice was the true signification of the word " financial." Under the rules of most friendly societies the benefits are confined to " financial " members —that is to say, to those who have paid up all contributions. In this instance a member of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows died, and his widow, thinking that she had a claim against the society in respect of his ten years' membership, applied for the £30 as provided in the rules. The society objected to the claim on the ground that the deceased member was not " financial," inasmuch as he had not strictly complied with the rules. The circumstances were peculiar. The man, after belonging to the lodge for ten years, had fallen into arrears, but he had paid up the back contributions fourteen days before he died. By a rule of the society, however, an " unfinancial " member is not entitled to receive any benefits until eight weeks after he shall again become " financial," except only as regards medical attendance and medicine ; and under this provision the societj' maintained that, the member having died before he regained his " financial " position, the widow was debarred from her otherwise legal claim. The Judge of the District Court, before whom the case was first heard, did not coincide with this view. He drew a distinction between the position of the member himself and the position of the widow, and held that the rules did not preclude the latter from claiming the benefits mentioned in the rules. The society, dissatisfied with this decision, sought the opinion of the full Court, whose finding was of a similar nature. Giving a strict construction to the rules, the Court held that the rule relating to membership provided simply for certain benefits personal to the individual during his lifetime; but that in the rules relating to death the benefit was to be received, not by the member personally, but by his widow or his other representatives after his death. The second sub-clause affirmed that it should be imperative that the member should be " financial " at the time of his decease, not that eight weeks should elapse after he had become " financial ; " and if he was " financial " his widow was entitled to the benefits which the rules provided. This is an important ruling, and should receive the attention of all affected thereby. Some societies have protected themselves against the liability above referred to by explicit provision in their rules, and now that attention has been drawn to the possibility of such a claim, it would be well for all others to amend their rules if they wish to leave no opening for dispute in reference to the point that has been raised. 33. The report of the New Zealand Friendly Societies' Mutual Guarantee Association for the year 1890 shows a satisfactory balance-sheet. The Committee invite attention to the advantages offered to societies and branches whose officers are otherwise than mutually assured. 34. It will be both interesting and instuctive to take a brief review of the progress of the Friendly Society movement in New Zealand since the passing of the Act of 1877, which was modelled closely on the lines of the English Act of 1875, and to show to what extent the facilities afforded by the legislation then inaugurated have been availed of. In the amending Act of 1878, the consolidating Act of 1882, and the amending Act of 1886, no change has been made in the principles on which the Act of 1877 was based. Although registration is voluntary, very few societies exist which are not registered, and, if the members of these were aware of the disadvantages under which they labour, they would doubtless take steps to secure for themselves a legal status. A quotation from .the valuer's recent report on the Wanganui Lodge, M.U., may here be appropriate,— I may be allowed to express my surprise and regret that, in this year of grace, there are any lodges, and, above all, a district of the Manchester Unity in this colony outside the benefits of the Friendly Societies Act. To get the protection of the law was what the leaders of the Unity struggled for year after year till they won it, and, until it was again brought under my notice recently, it had escaped my memory that any lodges in this colony so lightly esteemed that security which their fathers in Oddfellowship prized so highly. Not only is the absence of legal recognition fraught with danger to the members of unregistered societies, but also the good name of the Order is thereby at stake; for in an unregistered society there are possibilities of fraud and injustice such as do not exist in regard to a registered society. 35. Dealing, in the first place, exclusively with benefit societies, there were, at the beginning of the year 1878, on the register twenty districts having ninety branches, and fourteen single societies. During the following thirteen years ending 31st December, 1890, there were registered eleven districts, 365 branches, and fifty-four single societies, while during the same period 109 branches and eighteen single societies either ceased to exist or were merged into others; the number on the register at the end of the year 1890 being thirty-one districts, 346 branches, and fifty single societies. 36. The membership, which on the Ist January, 1878, was returned as 8,560, had increased by the 31st December, 1889, to 26,013. 37. The amount of accumulations in hand at the beginning of 1878 was £109,983, of which £101,188 belonged to the sick and funeral funds. The total value at the end of 1889 was £430,544, of which £380,971 belonged to the sick and funeral funds. 38. During the years 1878-89 there were registered ninety-five complete amendments of rules and 151 partial amendments. 39. The number of valuations made are shown in the following table :—
40. There have also been registered under tha-Act working-men's clnbs and specially-authorised societies, of the former of which there were thirteen, and of the latter twenty-three (including one with branches) on the Eegister as at the 31st December, 1890.

41. In 1890 a Bill was introduced in the English Parliament by the Bishop of Peterborough to amend the law relating to insurances on the lives of children. A large amount of evidence was taken before a Select Committee of the House of Lords on the subject of the Bill. Mr. Justice Day, one of the witnesses, expressed himself in favour of the re-enactment of the law forbidding insurance on the life of another without an insurable interest. In answer to question No. 1964 he said,— • I can only think of one practical remedy, and that is restoring the law to the state in which it was before the Friendly Societies Act was passed. On this subject let the working-people be in the same position as other people are. Let there be no gambling with human life. It is not a fit subject for speculation. The majority of those witnesses, whose experience related to the slums of large towns, appear also to see only evil in the practice of infantile insurance. On the other side, representatives of the affiliated friendly societies and of the provident industrial assurance societies, as well as witnesses neither connected with, nor interested in, any such societies, gave evidence as to the advantages derivable from the existing legality of an insurance on the life of another within the present limits without an insurable interest. There was, however, a consensus of opinion that insurance on children's lives should be effected by their parents only, and by them only in one office, and that all classes of societies undertaking business of this kind should be compelled to register and be brought within the provisions of the Friendly Societies Act. The main arguments adduced in support of a continuance of the present law were that the crime of infanticide is not traceable to the practice of child-insurance; that ignorance and the conditions of life among the poor are causes of a very high rate of mortality among children; that in cases of infanticide other and more powerful motives lead to it; that children's insurance is not a speculation when done simply to provide for possible expenses of sickness and burial; that for a doubtful gain parents, by the abolition of the existing provisions, would be practically forbidden to give effect to the natural and proper desire to prevent the possibility of being driven to apply for parish aid or to seek help from their neighbours in the event of a child's death, which is a probable contingency; and that such restriction would operate to the general discouragement of thrift and of self-respect on the part of those thus pauperised. It may be added that the evidenee before the Committee brought into view two matters to which prominence has already been given — viz., the expensive management of what are called "collecting societies," and of provident industrial assurance companies, and the desire on the part of friendly societies proper to be dissociated from the former in name, and to be legislated for separately. 42. Commenting on this Bill the English Chief Registrar of Friendly Societies writes as follows :— There appears to be so little likelihood of the Bill passing in its present shape that the Chief Eegistrar does not feel called upon to criticize it in detail. He would wish, however, to make some observations of a general nature, as he fears the view of the question entertained by the public is a very loose one. He would begin by distinctly expressing his conviction that there is a large amount of insurance on the lives of children which, under the law as it stands, is substantially innocuous—viz., (1) where it is combined with the insurance of the child in sickness ; (2) where the payments for both benefits arc made in one sum, and at intervals, say, of a month or more, and at the office of the society. These are the conditions under which infant life is generally insured, both in or in connection with the affiliated orders, and in many separate societies. The danger begins where the insurance is on the child's life only, and is enormously increased where the premiums are collected at the parents' home at short intervals, especially where this is done not by a fellow-member but by a professional collector, whose emoluments only begin with 25 per cent, of the collections, the entrance-fees, and the whole of the first or second week's payments. Although there are many gradations and border cases, this distinction draws a line between infant insurance by the genuine friendly societies and infant insurance by the collecting societies (so-called friendly) and the industrial assurance companies, for experience, often repeated, has shown that it is impossible for a collecting society to carry on profitably a sickness insurance business. Thus, in the view of the Chief Registrar, infant insurance by a friendly society, properly so-called, is practically harmless. It is always dangerous in a large collecting society or company making a business of what is called " industrial assurance." The object of legislation should therefore be, he considers, to separate the larger collecting bodies from ordinary friendly societies, of which, as he has endeavoured to show before the House of Commons Committee of 1888, they are virtually the inversion. The slightest reflection will show that the combination of sickness with burial benefits is an immense security to the child. The sickness-benefit constitutes virtually that insurable interest which the law requires in ordinary cases of insurance. It is to the advantage even of the unnatural parent, who would embezzle for his own use his child's sick pay, to keep that child alive for the purpose. But let the insurance be only on the child's life, and its sickness becomes a mere uncompensated burden : the prospect of gain is involved only in its death. Then add the enormous moral difference between tho payment of something for the insurance on a child's life as part of a lump sum once a month, or once in three months, at a meeting of fellow-mem-bers at which many other subjects are discussed, and the steady keeping before the parent's mind the idea of the child's death through the call, week after week, of a professional collector, and recollecting that the members of the best of these collecting societies are, according to the evidence of a witness of unquestionable authority on the point before the Friendly Societies Commission, Mr. Liversage, of the Royal Liver, " principally of the very poorest," it will be seen what awful temptations are placed before the minds of those least fitted morally to resist them through the system of infant life insurance divorced from sickness assurance, and combined with weekly collections. Probably not in one case out of a thousand is actual child-murder committed. But how little is needed to let a child die. A single draught of air may dispose of a baby. Later on tho use of unwholesome food, more omission to send for a doctor, or to give a prescription (all practices largely testified to by medical witnesses before the Commission), may suffice to bring in the death-insurance money. In an Oldham case, referred to by the Chief Registrar in his report for 1888, a mother, whose child, ten months old, and insured within the legal limit for £5, had swallowed a marble, did not send for a doctor till the morning after the accident, and when told by two doctors that only an operation could save the child, refused to allow it. Such cases may take place by the thousand. Even the religious feelings of the people may tend in the same direction. "Poor little fellow; he will be happier elsewhere," may salve over many an act of parental neglect, to which the real temptation lies in the burial-money. The Chief Registrar is inclined to think that the efficacy of the new Bill would be increased by requiring a child to have been insured for at least six months before any insurance-money can be paid, and that it might even go so far as to prohibit all payments on the death of infants under twelve months old. In justification of the lowering of the limits of payments, he would wish also to call attention to what he already pointed out to the House of Commons Committee of 1888 —viz., the far lower scales voluntarily adopted by (genuine) friendly societies. The following figures are from the observation of rules which have come before him within the last year or two, and show both lower figures than those allowed by the Bill, and the extension of such Ipwer figures to higher ages. *
* The Chief Registrar here quotes the scales ol several societies.

******** The above figures show the paradoxical fact that the respectable working-men of this country receive often much less on the death of their children than the classes below them in the social scale. With respect to the age of insurance, the Chief Registrar regrets to see that the witnesses for the affiliated orders sought to break down what he deems the wholesome, though insufficient, restrictions of the present Acts. As the legal limits do not appear to be very clearly brought out, he-would point out that — (1.) Under section 8 (1) of the Act of 1875, parents, members of a society, may insure the funeral expenses of their children from birth upwards. (2.) Under section 15 (8), as since amended, societies or branches, consisting wholly of members under twenty-one years, but exceeding three years, may be registered for any purposes of the Act — i.e., a child of three may insure money on its own death, but subject to the limits and conditions of section 29. (3.) But societies which, on the Ist of January, 1876, had any rule or practice for the admission of members under three may continue to admit such — e.g., a new-born baby may, in the Eoyal Liver or Liverpool Victoria Legal, be supposed to insure money on its death. Now, the weakness of the above provisions lies— (1.) In the allowance of membership at all, as distinct from insurance by a parent, at so early an ago as three. (2.) In the privilege of membership, even below that age allowed to societies which had such privilege on the Ist January, 1876. In the Chief Registrar's opinion it is full time that the latter privilege, at all events, should be taken away, and whatever limit of age is adopted for the commencement of infant membership should apply to all societies equally. But he thinks that no harm would be done if the limit were carried from three to seven. A child of three cannot in any true sense of the word be called a member of a friendly society. At seven he is at least capable of joining in a procession and appreciating a badge or a banner. The complaint that the affiliated orders cannot insure the children of outsiders really depends upon their own rules. If they choose to frame rules for admitting, say, without an upper limit of age or medical examination, a class of members above sixteen, solely insuring their children's funeral expenses, there is nothing to hinder them from doing so. But the Chief Registrar would greatly deprecate any modification of the present provision of section 28 (2) of the Act, forbidding payment to any but the parent, or "personal representative " of such parent, a term which he has always understood to mean, in its ordinary legal sense, the executor or administrator. It may, indeed, be necessary, after the evidence of Mr. Justice Day (which the Chief Registrar must admit he saw with the greatest surprise), to fix this meaning by an additional definition. But any legal allowing of guardians to insure, however well meant, can only act as an encouragement to the mischievous system of baby-farming. The attention of the Committee appears to have been called by Mr. Dewey, of the Prudential Assurance Company, to the proceedings of certain companies at Rochdale, formerly registered as friendly societies, but which had their registry cancelled on being converted into companies. It has been held by high authority (somewhat, the Chief Registrar must own, to his surprise) that friendly societies thus converted do not become life assurance companies within the meaning of the Life Assurance Companies Acts, and are not subject to the provisions of those Acts as to deposits, the separation of funds, the sending of yearly statements and valuations to the Board of Trade, &c. If not life assurance companies, they also escape the provisions contained in sections 28 and 30 of " The Friendly Societies Act, 1875," with respect to industrial assurance companies, since, under the definition in section i of the Act, an industrial assurance company must be a company " as denned by 'The Life Assurance Companies Act, 1870.' " Accordingly these companies now claim to pay money of any amount on death, at any age, on any evidence they may think fit. It is clear that this was never intended by the Legislature, and that steps ought to be taken to bring such bodies under the provisions of the Friendly Societies Acts with respect to infant assurance, as well as under those of the Life Assurance Companies Acts." 43. In Germany the principle of compulsory insurance has been completed by the passing of a law dealing with insurance against old age and infirmity. Mr. Esme Howard, Assistant Secretary of the British Embassy at Berlin, who has rendered the Act into English, says, in his letter to the English Ambassador at Berlin, covering the translation, — This law may be looked upon as the crowning Act—to use the words of Mr. Rennell Rodd in his note to your Excellency of 28th September, 1888—of that great system of national insurance, which is destined ultimately to cover all classes of labourers and workmen throughout Germany. These words have been literally fulfilled in this Act by the provisions of which every labourer, workman, or servant in the empire may look forward to receiving some material assistance when rendered unable to earn his living owing to mental or bodily infirmity, or as soon as he has reached the age of seventy. And in a summary of the said law, Mr. Howard writes as follows: — The great structure of socio-political legislation for purposes of national insurance, upon which the German Government have been employed since 1881, was finally completed on 23rd May last, when the Bill, containingthemost important and extensive scheme for State insurance ever yet devised by any Government, was voted bj' the German Reichstag, and became law. The extent of this measure being so infinitely greater and more ambitious than any of its precursors, the insurance statistics furnished by them, or by the various benefit and insurance funds distributed throughout the country, can hardly be considered to form a satisfactory foundation for so great a structure; and, indeed for this reason the National Liberal party in the Reichstag were at one time in favour of postponing the final decision upon the Bill until the autumn session, during which interval they hoped that more valuable data bearing upon the subject might have been collected, and the more advanced Liberals, while declaring themselves in favour of the principle of the Bill, desired that it might be indefinitely postponed with the same object. It was contended, on the other side, that it was evident that a measure, at once so novel and so extensive, could by no possibility be perfect at the first ; that the best and only way of finding out how it could be worked with the greatest advantage was by putting it into execution as early as possible, and that postponement would therefore be only rather disadvantageous than otherwise. The National Liberals finally fell in with this view, and the Government was enabled to obtain a majority for the third reading of the Bill towards the end of May. The main difference existing between this measure and its forerunners—and in this respect the Government may be said to have adopted for the first time a really socialistic principle—lies in the fact that, while the burden of the contributions raised under the previous insurance laws was imposed, either upon employers alone, as in the law for insurance against accidents, or upon employers and insured, as in that against sickness, a third part will for this Act be contributed by the State. . . . All already existing benefit and insurance funds, whether simply local, or for tradss, or Government services, are left untouched by this law, which officially recognises their existence, and relieves their members of compulsory insurance, provided that the regulations of such funds meet certain conditions ; while the Act works conjointly with these funds as regards persons insured at one time with them, and at another under its own provisions. . . . Perhaps the most striking consideration in regard to this law as a whole is its irretrievable character, and when it is remembered that it touches the entire industrial population of the empire, this fact assumes an even greater importance. Isolated provisions and clauses may be altered and amended, but the effect of the whole will remain ever present and, like a rolling ball of snow once started, will continue to increase in bulk and volume until the moment may come when the hands that fashioned it are no longer able to impel it further or to guide its course. It will become a force that must ever be reckoned.with and taken into account by future generations. The step once taken cannot be retraced, and the measure, such as it is, bringing in its train possibly incalculable benefits, possibly also unforeseen economic difficulties, must be considered as an unalterable fact, unless it be swept away with all other existing institutions by the wave of some mighty social revolution.

APPENDIX VI. Notice to Friendly Societies relative to Payment for Valuations under " The Friendly Societies Act, 1882." The Treasury, Wellington, 7th May, 1891. I am directed by the Hon. the Colonial Treasurer to inform you that the Government have decided to discontinue the present system of payment to Public Valuers for the quinquennial valuations required under " The Friendly Societies Act, 1882." In order that societies may continue to be relieved of the cost of valuation, it will be at their option to have the valuation made by the Actuary attached to the office of the Registrar of Friendly Societies. Should any society desire to elect its own Valuer, such Valuer must be approved of by the Governor in accordance with "The Friendly Societies Act, 1882," the fees of such Valuer being paid by the society. This notice will apply to all societies whose next due valuation shall not have been furnished to the Registrar of Friendly Societies before the Ist July, 1892. James B.
