The Stock Market crash and the Great Depression had a great effect on the Society. But the greatest problems were internally. First, solvency was only at 84.75% with the goal being 100%. At the 1930 Convention, an ill-advised plan was adopted that assessed each member $55.00 to bring the solvency to 100%. If any member failed to pay, it was deducted from their benefit. Many members just quit. Second, those elected in 1930 began to make questionable mortgage investments that impacted on the financial status of the Society.
