Statistics of Membership and Funds. The following table shows the. membership of 717 lodges* of the Dominion, which furnished returns for 1914: — Number of members, Ist January .. .. .. .. 74,643 Number admitted by— Initiation, &c. .. .. .. .. .. 5,064 Clearance .. .. .. .. .. .. 718 5,782 80,425 Number who died . . .. .. .. ... 500 Number left by— Clearance .. .. .. .. .. .. 798 •Arrears, &c. .. .". .. .. .. 5,047 6,351 Number of members at 31st December .. .. .. .. 74,074 It will be seen from the above figures that the members admitted by initiations during the year only exceeded the lapses through arrears by the small number of 17 ; and with the addition of the deaths and the adverse clearance balance, there is shown on the whole a small decrease in membership equal to 0'76 per cent. Apart from the effect of the war on general, trade-conditions the call for the Expeditionary Forces would naturally divert from the friendly societies' ranks many of the young lives that go to create the increase in their membership, an effect which is also noticeable in other States. It is satisfactory to note that the propaganda work of the New Zealand societies has been well maintained, the number of new branches opened being well above the average. The total funds of the societies and branches as on the 31st December, 1914, amounted to £1,744,456, made up as follows : Sick and Funeral Funds (inclusive of amounts transferred to special funds out of surplus), £1,604,895 : Medical and Management Funds, goods, &c, £139,561. Dividing the total funds by the number of members at the end of the year, it is found the average capital per member is now £23 lis. Taking the several years 1905-1914, the number of lodges whose returns were tabulated, the number of members, total funds, and average capital, per member at the end of each year were as under :

The above figures include only the statistics of those lodges which furnished annual returns by the legal date in each year. The following statement shows the disposal of the total funds (including those of the central bodies) as on the 31 st December, 1914 : —

Sickness. The number of members sick during 1914 was 11,980, equal to 16-61 per 100 members at risk. The sickness experienced during 1914 was 113,500 weeks, equal to 9 weeks 3 days per sick member, and 1 week 3 days for each member at risk. Owing in great measure to differences in the proportion of members at the several ages, the averages in the several districts differ considerably, also in the several societies or orders. The figures for the six large orders for 1914 are found to be as follows :—

The percentage of members sick for the year 1914 was therefore highest in the M.U.1.0.0.F., while the average sickness per member at risk was highest in the A.O.F. and lowest in the 1.0.0.F. In 1913 the percentage of members sick was 16-70, the average sickness per member sick was 9-12 weeks, and the average sickness per member at risk 1-52 weeks. Mortality. The following statement of average mortality experienced for the year is given herewith, but it takes no account of age incidence : —

Sick and Funeral Funds. The contributions and entrance fees paid to Sick and Funeral Funds in 1914 amounted to £114,657. Divided by the mean number of members the average was £1 10s. 10d., as compared with £1 10s. 3din 1913. . The interest and rent received by the lodges and central bodies amounted to £73,789 in 1914, equal to 19s. lOd. per member, as against 18s. Bd. for 1913. The amount of sickness benefit paid was £77,812 in 1914, equal to £6 9s. lid. per member sick, and £1 os. lid. per member, as against £6 6s. 4d. and £1 os. 4d. respectively for 1913. Viewing the amount paid in relation to the weeks of sickness, the average benefit per week is found to be 13s. 9d. in 1914, as compared with 13s. lOd. in 1913. The funeral benefit paid amounted to £15,983 in 1914, equal to 4s. 4d. per member, as compared with 4s. 2d. for 1913. The total worth of the Sick and Funeral Funds of 717 lodges at the beginning of 1914 was £1,457,626, and at the end of the year £1,548,417, as compared with 681 lodges, worth £1,380,750 and £1,465,159, at the beginning and end of 1913. The balance of gain for the year was £90,791, or £1 4s. sd. per member in 1914, as compared with £84,385, or £1 2s. lid., in 1913. The averages for the six leading orders and for all societies are given in the following table for the year 1914: —

Investment of Funds. The net income from investments credited to the Sick and Funeral Funds lor 1914 amounted to £73,789, the average rate being 5-03 per cent, (say, £5 os. Bd.), as against £4 19s. in 1913.

General. Members on Active Service. A preliminary count at the end of April showed that over two thousand members had joined the Expeditionary Forces. This number is quite incomplete, and is daily increasing. In almost all the societies these members are relieved from payment of contributions during their absence, the cost of which is borne either by their fellow-membors or out of the society's funds. This charge, and the consequent benefit payments on account, of these members, will probably strain the resources of some lodges, but it is certainly to the credit of the societies that they have shown themselves ready and willing to undertake what they regard as a national duty. I hope at a later date to be able to publish the number and particulars relating to each society. The legal position of these members in relation to their rights under the societies' rules has been the subject of inquiry. Section 101 of the Friendly Societies Act, 1909, is as follows : — " Notwithstanding anything in the rules of any friendly society or branch, registered or unregistered, no person, by reason of his enrolment or service in the Defence Forces, shall lose or forfeit any interest he possesses in any such society or branch at the time of his being so enrolled or serving, or be fined for absence from or non-attendance at any meeting of the society or branch, if his absence or non-attend-ance is occasioned by the discharge of his military or naval duty as certified by his commanding officer." The term " Defence Force " is in New Zealand held to include soldiers in the Expeditionary Forces engaged on foreign service, and the Act does not limit the privilege as is done by the English statute. In Great Britain the protection against deprivation of these rights only covers members engaged as Territorials, Militia, &c. — i.e., home defence —and not to those enlisted in the Regular Army and Navy. There is good reason for this, as the combatant on active service is nursed, cared for, and paid by the State, so that the immunity from payment of contributions, with cover for the death benefit, is probably a sufficient provision. If the New Zealand societies' funds are to boar the full sick-liabilities in terms of their present rules in the case of these members, it can readily be seen that the risk may turn out to be a most serious matter for some lodges. The New Zealand Act does not permit lodges to adopt rules dealing with this problem as freely as the English societies. Government Assistance in War Risk. By direction of the Hon. the Minister I sent the following circular to all friendly societies :—- --" 20th November, 1914. " I am directed by the Hon. the Minister in charge to inform you that the Government has made provision to assist the friendly societies to meet the extra risk entailed on their funds in respect of members in the Expeditionary Forces. " While the Forces are on active service the Government will contribute one-half of the premium cost of reinsuring the funeral benefits of those members who have joined the contingents. In respect of societies which propose to undertake the risk in their own funds, an amount equal to the abovementioned rate will be payable. " Claims for this subvention should be forwarded to this Department." All societies have not yet advised me whether they intend to take advantage of this offer from the Government, but the majority have furnished some of the information required for the purpose of computing the subsidy. War Legislation of 1914. In order to meet any contingency that may require societies to utilize their funds in a wider manner for the benefit of members who might be adversely affected by the war, a short Act was passed on the 2nd November, 1914, enabling relief rules to be registered. Section 30 of the Friendly Societies Act,

1909, which requires all rules before registration to be subject to actuarial certification, was in the meantime repealed in order that I lie postponement or waiver of contributions due from members might be authorized for the war period. Tin's amending Act is automatically repealed on the 31 st December, 1915, and the question of re-enacting it for a further term will require consideration. Subvention. A system for the subsidizing of friendly societies was circulated to societies by the Government early in 1914, but the proposals did not, with few exceptions, receive much attention at the annual meetings held during that year. Since then, however, interest in the scheme has shown itself in several important centres. The experience in New South Wales is of interest in connection with the policy of subventing societies, aud I append hereto some notes taken from the annual reports of the Registrar in that State : — In 1912 the sum of £1.9,809 was paid to societies, representing subsidies towards the benefits of 9,629 aged members and the continuous sickness of 3,296 other members. The Registrar points out that the old members are therefore the principal beneficiaries of the subsidy, and the society having the greatest proportion of this class of member draws the largest sum per head. The payment for .1.91.3 amounted to £20,851 9s. 4d., and tor the five years since the Act was passed £78,600 has been received by the societies from the State. The rate of increase in membership during the five years to 1913 has fluctuated considerably. In 1909 the rate was 8 per cent. ; in 1910 it was 12-2 per cent. ; in 1911, 10-2 per cent. ; in 1912, 9-1 per cent. ; and in 1.913, 4-8 per cent. Consolidation of Lodge Funds. , The powers of a society to centralize its branch funds came under the review of the Supremo Court at Dunedin in August last, and the judgment pronounced by His Honour Mr. Justice Sim has raised important issues. In this case, Cliff v. Bryant (Gazette Law Reports, Vol. xvii, par. 3, p. 93), the Ivanhoe Lodge of the Otago Druids applied for an injunction restraining the District Grand Lodge from registering rules proposing to consolidate the benefit funds of its branches. The Court decided thai in vieWparticularly of subsection (2) of section 40 of the Friendly Societies Act, 1909, " the proposed consolidation, as far as it affected existing accumulation of funds, is prohibited." The judgment has a direct interest for many societies in fact, lor them all -in that it touches one of the most valued of their privileges i.e., the right of societies to direct their own policies. Section 40 of the present Act runs as follows :- " (I.) In all registered friendly societies and registered branches thereof all moneys received or paid on account of each particular fund for which a, separate table of contributions has been adopted shall be kept, separate and distinct, and shall be entered in a separate account distinct from the moneys received and paid on account of any other fund ; and a separate fund or funds shall be established for the payment of all expenses of management, and of all expenses (ii any) on account of medical, and surgical attendance, including medicine and medical and surgical requisites. " (2.) Save as in this Act expressly provided, no transfer shall be made of the moneys of any one benefit fund to meet the liabilities of any other fund, nor shall such moneys, or any interest accruing therefrom, be in any manner applied for the use, whether temporary or permanent, of any fund save the fund to which they properly belong." This section was passed in 1875 for the specific purpose of checking the misapplication of benefitfund moneys for management purposes, and for forty years it has been so administered with excellent results. It must now be applied to prohibit the consolidation or centralization of the benefit funds of the branches of a society into one society fund, and it will probably come as a surprise to members of societies to find that this section gives the Act a restrictive character at variance with the long-accepted and well-established powers of self-government, hitherto regarded as untouched by legislation. Secession. A point of some interest to societies has been decided in the New Zealand Court of Appeal in the ease Battersby v. Wheatley (Gazette Law Reports, Vol. xvii, par. 8, p. 204). The plaintiffs (the Fountain of Friendship Lodge, M.U.1.0.0.F.) proceeded to seoede from the defendants (the Auckland District Branch of the N.Z. Branch of the M.U.1.0.0.F.). The New Zealand Society's rules provided that the secession of a branch could take place only with the consent of the central body. This rule has been accepted for registration in New Zealand since the judgment of Justice Penuefather in 1899, when the Revising Barrister was directed to certify it in the case brought by the Otago District, M.U.1.0.0.F. The Court of Appeal has now held such a rule to be ultra vires, as being in conflict with section 25, subsection (I), of the Friendly Societies Act, 1909. The Value of Societies' Assets. The mode of dealing with the tangible assets of a society in the actuarial valuation made in terms of the Friendly Societies Act is affected by the Court of Appeal judgment in Battersby v. Wheatley (Gazette Law Reports, Vol. xvii, par. 8, p. 204). Section 37 of the Act reads as follows : " Every registered society shall once at least in every five years send to the Registrar a return of the benefits assured and contributions receivable from all the members of the society and its branches, whether registered or not, and of all the assets and liabilities of the society and its said branches, accompanied by such evidence in support thereof as the Registrar prescribes, whereupon the Registrar shall cause the assets and liabilities of the society and all its .branches as aforesaid to be valued and reported on by the Actuary, and shall send to the society a copy of the Actuary's report."

In the case above quoted the society's rule required the Actuary to make an award based on the " last actuarial valuation." This document included in the valuation balance-sheet a property quoted at a given sum, but with a footnote by the Actuary to the effect 1 hat I he result of the actuarial valuation was subject to the correctness of the values given in respect of the properties. The Appeal Court, however, directed that the results of the valuation as deduced from (hose unverified figures must be adhered to as the)' stood that is to say, the Actuary's proviso is to be ignored. A long-standing and. important practice in friendly-societies finance is vitallj affected by this ruling. The societies in New Zealand own a considerable number of properties, the values of which may vary from time to time. In order to leave the societies the right to depreciate their properties, the Registrar has accepted the values as quoted in their yearly balance-sheets, relying upon the fact that the qualification inserted by the Actuary in his report constituted a safeguard against any incorrect appropriation of the funds in case of distribution. If. however, Ihe A' tuary's proviso can no longer stand, then the question of demanding an independent valuers certificate in respect of all the properties of societies at each actuarial valuation must be considered. There are lodges now in a prosperous condition which owe their position to the practice of persistently writing down the value of properties in order to create what is common to all sound business a hidden reserve a procedure that has probably more to commend it in friendly-societies administration than in ordinary commercial undertakings. It would be a distinct loss to the societies if if w. ro found necessary to deprive them of their freedom of action in this respect. What the Fa mis of a Friendly Society are for. I append hereto some interesting figures illustrative of the large amounts paid by societies in New Zealand to individual members, as they furnish one of the fundamental reasons for the existence of friendly societies. One often hears the remark that there is no need for the accumulation of friendly-society funds that the claims could easily be met by current payments, and so on. I [ere is an answer to such a statement. • \n one instance a lodge has paid £829, £625, and. £365 thai is, a total of £1,819 in sick-pay to three members. Another lodge has paid to a member £802, and to ten members £4,833. Another lodge has paid £3,212 to eight members. In all there were 70 membeis who between them had received £30,152, or an average of £130. The contributions of these members (excepting medical attendance fee) amounted at the most to £5,200, or an average of about £71. It is clear that if there had been no accumulation of funds or help from the interest earned by those accumulations the above large sum of benefits simply could not have been paid, and the aged members would have been without that aid in sickness and old age which is assured to the members of sound societies. Trade-unions. One trade-union was registered during the year viz., the Whangamomona Railway and Road Construction Workers* Trade-union. The following registrations were cancelled : By requesl -The Foxton Waterside and General Workers' Union, the Glenhope Trade-union of Workers, the Puponga Trade-union of Workers, the Wakamarina Miners and Workers' Trade-union. By dissolution The Buller Deputies' Trade-union, the Nelson Waterside and General Workers' Union. There were 34 unions on the register at the end of t he year. Complete amendment of rules : New Zealand Locomotive Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleaners' Association. Partial amendments of rules: New Zealand Federation of Labour: the Waihi Trade-union of Workers. Inoobpoeatbd Societies A.ot. During 1914 there were 82 societies, clubs, or associations incorporated under this Act, and amendments of rules of 39 societies were accepted. Three societies were wound up and 3 dissolved. On the 31st December, 1914, then 1 were 959 incorporated bodies on the register. EXPLANATORY NOTE OF TERMS USED l\ REPORT. A.0.F... .. .. .. .. Anoient Order of Foresters. A.O.S. .. .. .. ..

REPORT BY THE ACTUARY. ' The Registrar. A Plow remarks in the nature of a general review of the actuarial position of friendly societies in New Zealand will probably be of some interest, particularly as in the ordinary course only a portion of the societies fall in for review in each particular year. As in other parts of the world, most of the New Zealand societies originally commenced on a basis which did not adequately take account of the more remote but larger liabilities that were bound to press in as members gradually drew nearer to old age, and their principal problem has consequently been that of financial reform. Under the statutory policy which required societies to submit every five years to actuarial valuation, but otherwise left them free, the only force exerted upon societies was the educative influence of the periodical actuarial reports. A serious drawback was that whilst, on the whole, societies made earnest efforts to carry out reforms on the spur of actuarial recommendations, there was frequently at other times a pressure by members resulting in haphazard increases in benefits, undoing the good work accomplished. So long as this was the case, it was in many instances impossible to speak confidently of the future of a society. The 1909 Act has materially altered the actuarial outlook; for, by preventing the registration of rules tending to weaken the financial position, it gives a guarantee that no movement can be made except in an upward direction (a fact borne out by the experience of the Act to date). The Act also ensures that new branches commence with an adequate scale of contributions. During the last six or seven years great advances have been made. Societies with an aggregate membership of considerably over forty thousand have improved their scales of contributions, not to speak of other reforms. Out of some thirty-four societies there are now only four whose scales of contributions for new entrants are markedly below the standard »f adequacy, though, of course, the scales of some others also are capable of improvement. On a careful consideration of the position I am bound to say that on the whole, so far as actuarial soundness is concerned, the outlook as regards the position and prospects of societies is distinctly good. The great majority of societies are either quite sound actuarially or are approaching that condition. Even the backward ones show some movement in the right direction. No doubt in a number of societies there are individual lodges whoso position is weak, but many of these are small or subject to special circumstances. There are very few that fail to show some progress. Considering the fact that the New Zealand legislation (apart from its operation on new branches registered since 1909) leaves societies free to adopt measures of reform or not as they choose, these results, effected by voluntary effort, must, I think, be regarded as remarkably good. Two matters which have exercised the minds of friendly societies during the last few years may be mentioned. Some years ago a wave of assessmentism (or equal-levy insurance) swept over some of the societies, until somewhere over ten thousand members, involving a sum assured of about £1,000,000, were drawn into this very unsound form of insurance. Some strenuous educational work was called for, and now the evils of this system are generally recognized to the extent that it is for the most part either out of operation or superseded by a very much better method. The other matter is consolidation of lodge Sick and Funeral Funds. The following societies have effected such consolidations : American Order 1.0.0.F., New Zealand District Rechabites (Auckland), Auckland District Foresters, Sons and Daughters of Temperance National Division (Canterbury). It is of course too early yet to speak of the success or otherwise of the policy of consolidation, as its virtues naturally come into view very promptly, while its possible defects are of a more subtle nature and take longer to appear. So far, however, the results have been very good indeed. With the except ion of the 1.0.0.F. the districts so far consolidated are all restricted in area. Whatever dangers may lurk in the plan will be more likely to appear in those cases where consolidation covers too large an area. This applies in particular to the two questions of management of the society and control of sickness claims, both of which are matters of which societies must be their own judges. As regards individual orders, the following remarks give the salient points in a general way : — Manchester Unity. (a.) New Zealand Branch. —The New Zealand Branch, comprises twelve affiliated districts, each more or less financially independent but subject to the rules of the branch, which provide for adequate scales of contribution. As a whole the New Zealand Branch is in a position which is not far from complete actuarial solvency, and is constantly improving. Of the individual districts, Hawke's Bay, New Plymouth, Wellington, Marlborough, Nelson and Ashburton are in a particularly fine position, and practically beyond criticism from the actuarial point of view, while others, such as Wanganui and Ashley, are in a position but one degree removed- The membership of the branch is 15,830. (b.) Districts not affiliated to the New Zealand Branch. —The districts of the Manchester Unity which are not affiliated to the New Zealand Branch include Lyttelton, South Canterbury, Otago, and Southland, with a membership of about 7,959 in all. The latter two districts some time ago increased their benefits without a corresponding increase in the contributions of the older members, but all four districts have in recent years adopted improved scales of contributions for new entrants. The first three are in a reasonably good position and have very good prospects. As regards Southland there is" considerable leeway to be made up yet, but I expect to see an improvement at the next valuation.

Independent Order of Odd Fellows. This is a consolidated society with a membership of 6,704, and operating all over New Zealand. On valuation a state of complete solvencv is disclosed, the position being a very creditable one indeed. Ancient Order of Foresters. The following districts of the A.O.F. are in a good position and improving fast: Auckland (recently reorganized to great effect), Taranaki, Canterbury, and Otago. Hawke's Bay has some leeway to make up, but is aided very much by remarkably good investment results. Wellington, Nelson, and South Canterbury are more backward. Wellington increased its benefits some years ago without adequate contribution provision, and has in consequence been much hampered; it is, however, improving slowly. In common with Nelson and South Canterbury its scale of contributions requires considerable overhauling. The total membership of the order is 16,359. Ancient Order of Druids. In the Grand Lodge of the North Island (membership over 11,000) good work has recently been achieved in remodelling contribution rates, and though there is a considerable deficiency in the Sick and Funeral Funds steady improvement in the future is certain. The death levy has been put on a very much better basis, though possibly some future measures may be necessary. The Grand Lodge of Canterbury and that of Otago are both within reasonable distance of actuarial solvency in their Sick and Funeral Funds, and are improving consistently. Subsidiary funds require some attention in these two Grand Lodges. The total membership of the order is 17,357. Other Societies. Of other societies, the New Zealand District 1.0.R. (Auckland) and the Sons and Daughters of Temperance (Canterbury), both consolidated societies, are in an excellent position. The New Zealand Central District 1.0.R. (Wellington) has been much hampered by a poor scale of contributions, but owing to reforms recently carried out, strong signs of improvement are to be expected, and I have no doubt the leeway will be steadily made up. The Protestant Alliance showed at the last valuation a marked reduction of its large deficiency, and the prospects for further reduction are good. The Hibernian Society has suffered from having had no actuarial valuation, and consequently no educational statement of its position, for a very long period prior to 1907. There is a considerable deficiency, but, as a result of the valuation report as at 1907, an adequate scale of contributions has been adopted for new members, and of course the outlook is much better. The N.1.0.0.F. Society is the only one which has not a graduated scale of contributions for its Sick and Funeral Fund. Its membership is about 450. The financial position is very weak owing to the inadequate scale of contributions. Particulars of the societies valued during the year are attached. A. T. Traveksi, A.1.A., Actuary.
