A NEEDED LAW.
Will our Legislators Look Into Its
Merits?


Yorkville Yeoman.
This State is suffering at the hands of fire
insurance trust. The lunatic asylum. and
probably some other public buildings In the
State, have been special objects OF this rapa-
cious money sucking trust They refused at
one time TO carry the risk on the asylum un-
less the electric wiring was fixed as they
wanted IL. Some changes were afterwards
made in the wiring, and then the insurance
companies demanded an exhorbitant pre-
MUM. Every business man in the State (and
they pay q large part OF our taxes) is suffer-
Ing from the extortionate charges OF this
trust, which Is known as the Southeastern
Tariff Association. In behalf Of thselement
of our citizen taxpayers we call the attention
of the legislature, to these facts and suggest
that they endeavor to better conditions by
the passage of such laws as would meet the
exigencies OF the case. We are reminded Of
these things at this time by the agitation oil
this identical question before the legislature
OF Georgia, now In session at Atlanta. A bill
has been introduced there which, 1 ( passed,
promises to abate or restrict the powers Of
this unholy association. This association of
insurance companies Is so strong that they
have on numbers of occasions compelled In.
dependent companies TO cancel policies they
had written in this territory. We suggest
that q law be passed authorizing the appoint
ment OF board OF three or five men to be
known as the insurance commission and that
they be empowered to regulate rates. The
tariff association will fight the effort TO pass
sucn law. and do all they can to keep 1t
from getting on the statute books, but we
need relief and look TO the legislature for
help.
