The insurance press has been CRITICS.
ing quite freely Superintendent Nc
Brides recommendation relating to the
appeal of unsatisfactory rates to the su-
perintendent.
Superintendent Mcbride says on this
subject:
''Yes, the insurance journals have
pretty generally condemned that portion
of my report relating to supervision of
insurance rates, but as yet only one
journal, The Coast Review, has at
tempted to give any valid reason why
my recommendation is impraeticable-
81 recommended that the companies
be compelled to establish rates of pre-
MUM, not the superintendent, and only
in cases on appeal is the superintendent
to have Jurisdiction
'Rates are not based on the fire loss
of single community, but the fire loss
of the whole country; the expense &C
count and dividends TO stockholders
must all be taken into account.
"There must be basis to start from.
When commenced the insurance bust
ness twenty-four years ago the company
sent me book OF instructions, and
made my own rates subject to approval
by the company, and 1 never had Aut
two policies cancelled on account of in
adequate rates. Sixty cents was the
basis then, and we added d per cent as
the hazard was increased.
"The rates are made in about this
manner now. The gentleman who rates
the cities and towns of Kansas for near
ly all the fire companies authorized to
transact business in this state was once
superintendent of this department and
really 1 cannot see why he conld not
have made as equitable rates when su-
perintendent ar he does now.
''In the twenty two years this depart
ment has been in existence seven super
intendents have been appointed and
there never has been any complaint of
unfairness to insurance companies unless
in the case of my immediate predecessor.
The trouble complained of is that some
communities are charged higher rates
than others on the same class of build
ings and under the same conditions.
This is all that I recommend should be
referred to this department, and I still
think it is right and believe sooner or
later it will be the law.
II know of several companies doing
a large business in Kansas who employ
special agents from their local agents in
| the small country towns. Why should
| they know more about the rates than
| the supervising officers of insurance de-
| partments of the several states? There
! is no conflict between well managed in
suranee companies and state supervis-
OTIS. The companies, L believe desire to
do what is fair and the supervising Off
GERS have no interest to do the compa-
MES an injustice. Inequalities in rates
will occur and some way should be
found to remedy the matter. My way
may not be the best but the insurance
journals evidently know of no better
/ nlan -
