compilation of the losses by fire for the
past ten wears IN the United States and
Canada j. TO be found. Another advance
has also been made. that OF studying and
classifyiu the causes OF fires, not sccur-
ately. but approximately, as no existing
law Of the State affords authority for
holding fire inqucsts or insti.uting any
judicial examination into the causes of
of the crime Of arson. Thus, taking the
ascertained causes OF fires In Indiana
during 1854. we find that 50 per cent.
were OF incendiary origin. Stated plain
ly. The fire insurance companies paid
Ss44,775, and the State lost $l,757 ,6Ss by
the torch ofthe incendiary.
This red.hot fact should be burned in-
to the mind and recollection OF every
legislator and taxpayer in the State un-
iii laws are enacted that will compel a
judicial Investigation into the cause OF
every fire loss that occurs, and make it a
punishable ofl'ense for any fire insurance

ed to overcome loss BY fire waste ex-I
ceediug S2s,0oO000 before making any
advance in material prosperity, aud in-l
cendiaries have cost taxpayers $4,000

md count $4,000 profits on business
low attended with constant loss. The
ocal effect Of incendisrism upon certain
sections of the State is serious.
Some companies will not now write
upon farm property anywhere in certain
districts, embracing whole blocks of
counties Having lost so heavily upon
his usually profitable class Of isolated
risks, they can continue the fight with
