The Missouri Supreme Court en banc held that a fraternal life insurance association may forfeit a member’s policy for nonpayment, reversing a trial court ruling in the case of Mary Woester men versus the supreme lodge Knights of Pythias. The decision, though narrowly framed, is described as profoundly important to 400,000 Missouri policy holders and millions nationwide, affecting nonforfeitable claims under state nonforfeiture law derived from Massachusetts.

Sheepmen contest Blue Mountain reserve tax
Umatilla county sheep associations challenge a $12,000 grazing tax on Blue Mountain range not allotted this year. The tax is based on 340,000 sheep from Umatilla Morrow and Gilliam counties with six cents per head in Wee noha. A recent federal court decision questions the authority to issue such regulations, increasing uncertainty for future reserve use. Reports also show sheep losses from the storm, with Joe Connolly’s band at 300 and Frank Dickerson about 600. J. E. Smith records total losses around 700.
