HAME* (FF WOM<?OCK • HEAD CLERK '•" . f r s y • • M - : -X-Mm. Msik-MiiSMiMi, '* MiSiiAjli'i Whereas, at the head feamp of the Modern Woodmen of America held at Chicago in the year A. D. 1911, the delegate^ at said head camp fixed a new basis of rates for the members of the Modern Woodmen of America very much in excess of the old rates and doubling and trebling the same, and fixing a rate for a large portion of the membership that was excessive, ex­ orbitant and compelled a great number of the membership to drop out of the order, and to lose the benefits of their membership and policies entirely and at a time in life when they could not take other insurance, and Whereas, the said rates fixed ^y the head camp in 1911 were excessive, ex­ orbitant and unnecessary and were voted by the head camp at a time when the order . was carrying a surplus fund amounting to many millions of dollars, and that since the said head camp rate, the surplus fund of the order, upon the old rates has increased and in many ways it is shown that the old rates were then and are now ample and suf­ ficient to pay all death losses and claims, and the said rate, as originally held and maintained, promises and bids fair to be sufficient for the payment of all losses and death claims in the order for many years to come, apd ' : Whereas, the head £amp in 1912," la voting the new rates and advancing the same, were led and urged to take such action by the head officers of the Modem Woodmen of America, and that Since the said camp in 1911, the official organ of the Modern Woodmen of America has been run and managed, and the funds of the order employed, not only in trying to establish the new Chicago rates and foist them upon the order, but the funds of the said order have been used by the head officers in sending agents, deputies and hired speakers thru the camps of the differ­ ent states to urge the necessity of establishing the said Chicago rates, and Whereas, at the present time many of the head camp officers are again candidates for the head offices and in their literature and letters, among the neighbors, they now assert that they are not now for the Chicago rates and promise the neighbors that, if elected to office, they will not again favor the establishment of such new rates or any additional rates until the same have been submitted to a referendum of the neighbors in all the camps of the jurisdiction, notwithstanding the same men, as head officers in the spring of 1913 at Springfield, Illinois, did everything in their power to defeat the Donahue bill, which merely pro­ vided for a referendum vote of the neighbors before any increase in rates was had, and Whereas, by reason of such actions and conduct on the part of the present head officers of the Modern Woodmen of America, the membership and neigh­ bors in McHenry county have lost con­ fidence and faith in the present head officers, and Whereas, also, it is for the best in­ terest and preservation and advance­ ment of the Modern Woodmen of America that the present and past dis­ sensions and criminations and recrim­ inations in the Modern Woodmen of America cease, and that all neighbors join together and elect head officers, in whom the camps in all jurisdictions will have confidence and' for whom they will have respect, and that it is for the best interest, prosperity and advancement of the Modern Woodmen of America that the^ present head of­ ficers give way and do not be re-elect­ ed, and to that end that all factions unite and elect the best men in the Modern Woodmen of America, and new men, and men who can take up the work of the order and carry it on, as it was'heretofore progressing, and men who are broad and patriotic enough to heal up all of the differences in the Modern Woodmen of America an<$ unite the factions, drders and different elements so that they will again all join hands and again make the Modern Woodmen of America the most pro­ gressive and substantial fraternal order on the globe; Therefore, Be It Resolved* by the county camp of McHenry, Illinois, by delegates in convention assembled at Crystal Lake in said county, that it is the sense of ,this county camp that none of the present head officers should ask for or again be elected to the po­ sitions of head officers, and that the head camp, when it meets in Toledo in June, 1914, should elect as head officers new men, and men, the best, broadest and most patriotic in the order, to the end that all dissensions, criminations and recriminations should cease, and that such men and only such jmen should be elected to theNhead offices as may be able to carry forward the work of the order according to the wishes and instructions of the neighbors and members, and that such head officers ishould be elected that may and will be able to heal up all wounds and destroy all factional differences and insure the growth and perpetuity of our order, and Be It Further Resolved, that the del­ egates elected from this eotinty camp be, and they are hereby instructed in the state camp to use their influence and cast their votes in accordance with the spirit and wording of these resolu­ tions, and the best interest of the Mod­ ern Woodmen of America, regardless of, and to thedoing away of any fac­ tional differences that have existed in the order. And Be It Further .Resolved, that any new rate to be suggested or pro­ posed by the head camp be first passed upon and approved by a referendum Mm ifcV-3; rates sQ called bfc $2.50 |!p|pp||p;p§ ^r'i • •' ~ •A- Hi**- $ $4.00 f'M and that the repealed. ' And Whereas, also, we have in this County Neighbor Theo. Hamer of Woodstock camp, who is a candidate for head clerk, and we wish at this time to express our' confidence and reliance in Neighbor Hamer, both in his ability to perform the work of that office and also in his integrity and honor as a man and a citizen and neigh bor in this county and this county camp takes pleasure in recommending Neigh­ bor Hamer to the state and head camps for the office of head clerk of the Mod­ ern Woodmen of America, and can as­ sure the other camps and neighbors that in Neighbor Hamer they will find a man who is true to 'the order of the Modern Woodmen of America, a man of ability and integrityf and a man who in every respect is qualified and fitted to perform the duties of head clerk and in whom the neighbors and camps of this county have every con­ fidence and respect and ft man and a neighbor who, if elected head clerk, would fulfill every wish and desire of the camps in this jurisdiction.

COLLECTORS PAID &218J1 FOR C^ECTWO TAXES Of 8tyE|5||P» Or COUNTY ^ [Harvard Gerald) cost McHenry connty taxpayers the sum of $9,216.51 to collect tax money in the seventeen towns of the county, this sum having been paid the seventeen tax collectors by County Treasurer Crissey, to whom the books were" recently returned, the last return having been made last Friday by W. H. Brott, collector of the town of Dorr, and who received a commission of $1,368.43 for his work in collecting the taxes in his home town, this being the largest amount paid any collector in the county and the least was t8d.77, which was paid to Vyvian Esh, col­ lector in the town of Burton. The total tax to be collected amount­ ed to almost a half million,dollars, the* exact figures being $489,848.42, and of this sum there was returned as delin­ quent tax the Bum of $29,190.46, of which the torfn of Dorr contributed a delinquent sum of $12,691.50, while the town of Alden retained its previous record of being the banner town of the county in the smallness of its delin­ quent returned.. Roy B. Fink, collector in Alden, col­ lected every dollar of tax levied against real .estate In the town and his delin­ quent of $41.43 was taxes levied against personal property, the owners of which had moved from the -town before he received his tax books. This is a rec­ ord not attained by any other town in McHenry county. The first collector to return his books was John Sheahan, collector in the town of Riley, and his compensation for collecting the tax of the town was $255.14.
