BROTHERS: In compliance with the laws of our Order, I submit for your examination my biennial report, as Supreme Secretary, for the term commencing April 23rd, 1893, and terminating April 20th, 1895. Notwithstanding the general financial depression that has existed, we have had many accessions to our ranks; our death rate has been large, but all claims have been paid as promptly as our laws will admit. W e certainly should pay all death claims within sixty days from date of filing, but under our laws it is impossible to do so, as Branches do not remit promptly enough. The statement of our finances shows we are in the best possible co.n. dition financially, and with our laws adjusted to suit the times our Order will be second to none. Our laws must be modernized in order to com- pete successfully with rival organizations. W e all desire to see the Order grow so that the expense may be reduced to the lowest possible amount to the members, and that our obligations may be honestly and promptly met. Promptness will create confidence and a larger membership, and consequently a reduction in the cost to the individual. Our records are not in the condition the size of the Order demands, and a change should be made as soon as possible. The membership has been variously given for years past, but the fact is the exact membership cannot be given and will never be definitely known if subordinate Branches will not make the proper reports required. In the fall of 1894 I presented a plan to my brother supreme officers for making a new register of members. It was approved and the work started, but owing to the failure of Branches to make the semi-annual report as provided by law, I have not been able to entirely complete the work, and the membership stated in this report does not contain the number of members such Branches have. 2 It is impossible for the Supreme Council to have correct records if subordinate Branches will not make proper returns. Your attention is respectfully called to a very important matter, namely, the relation the member, the Branch and the Supreme Council bear towards each other. The object of presenting this question arises r from litigatiom now pending in St. Louis and prospective litigation in New Orleans. The question is one that should have serious attention. Re-issuing benefit certificates is a considerable task, of vital impor- tance and loosely done under our laws. W e cannot be too careful in changing a contract once entered into with our members and our laws certainly require adjustment in this respect. Another important matter is the preservation of our books and records. In eighteen years we have accumulated a vast amount of very important papers and records and the only protection we have against fire is that afforded by one small safe. A building with a large well con- structed, fire-proof vault seems almost an absolute necessity for our pro- tection. The amount of money disbursed, given belo\^, under head of " On account of General Expense," is $23,656.91. In this sum is included $6,163,89 paid on account of the O'Brien litigation. The Ninth Supreme Council ordered the payment of $1,850.00 to Mary L. Moore, which sum was taken from the General Fnnd. Under the resolution appropriating $5,000.00 for increasing our membership, the sum of $1,090.20 has been paid, with a small amount yet unpaid. The cost of making the new record of members has amounted to $450.00 for clerk hire and $52.00 for books. The amount paid Branch 60, as directed by the Ninth Supreme Council, was $2,171.73, also included in the above sum of $23,656.91, so that the actual amount of general expenses is about $10,000.00. The postage bill for this office is enormous, amounting to $1,381.40 from July 1st, 1893.to April 20th, 1895. The cost of mailing assessments and notices of delinquency causes more than half of said expense. With an increase in Branches will come an increase in postage. To obviate this the assessments should be published in the Bulletin, which should be Cil issued weekly or semi-monthly. The cost of the Bulletin would be increased, but if issued weekly enough advertising could be procured to offset the added expense, but as it is now, comparatively little is given us. By publishing assessments in the Bulletin and discontinuing notices of jl delinquency, the Order can save at least $40.00 per month. The actual cost of printing and mailing the Bulletin for the term is $990.50. With more frequent issues and proper attention the Bulletin could be made self-sustaining; as it is now, it never can be. The balance as shown by the last biennial report could not be collected, but I am pleased to state 3 that for nearly two years the subscription has been paid in advance and we have no outstanding accounts due the Bulletin. Knowing that few are so gifted that they make no mistakes, and being aware of the fact that I am not one of the few, I desire to express my thanks, to those of my Brother Supreme officers and the members throughout the Order, with whom I have had dealings, for the kind treatment accorded me, I am confident that while a kindly feeling exists between officers and members there need be no fear of the prosperity of ours, the greatest fraternal organization that exists in the grandest coun- try God's bright sun ever shone upon.
