THAT Co-INsURANcE STEAL.

There may be diversities of opin-
ion on some matters among the
business men Of this city, but there
is none upon the injustice Of that
insurance fraud known as the CO.
insurance clause. Why it is that
Texas should be singled out as the
only state in this broad Union Of
states in which to bring forth such
a mOnstrosity, is one of the things
that no fellow can find out. 1t is
so palpably fraud on it's face that
it is matter of establishment that
the adoption of it by any intelli-
gent body Of agents should have
ever been seriously proposed. 1t is
unequal, bearing with great sever
ity upon the poor, who are unable
to take out policies to the full ex-
tent of the eighty-five percent
demanded by the confiscators
of property under the guise
of insurance premiums. 1t offers
a premium on fraud, in that there
is under its unequal provisions no
way of getting even with the COM
panies but by over insurance. The
less a man insures for, the less per
cent of his insurance does he secure
in case of loss. The whole prin-
Ciple Of the iniquity is this: the
more risk that the company takes
the higher is the premium that it
pays on that risk, and the less its
risk the less proportiOnately will it
pay in the event of the loss Of that
which is insured. The man with
$4,000 insurable property, who
insures up to the full limit, in case
of total loss, gets his full insurance
The man with $4,000 insurable
property, who is too poor to in.
sure for that, and only insures to
One-half of his insUrable limit
in case Of loss gets one-halt
that he is insured for. II
is a compulsory scheme to force
people who insure to do so to the
full limit allowed by the insurance
companies, and then when that is
done they compel the insured to
pay a prOrata Of the loss, increas
ingly great as the loss is less
while charging the full premium
upon the policy. 1t is a scheme
invented by the devil of greed with
such diabOlical cunning that the
man who is Obbed by it neve,
does understand how it is that tn,
less risk he takes the more it cost
him. There is not another state il
the Union that would suffer tn
fraud to exist a day. There ar,
honorable insurance agents in thi
state who have positively refused
to do this thing at the demand O
the ring masters who concOct
ed this scheme, and if Their

Ploase allow US space in your valuable
paper for few lines which may inter-
est some OF your many readers. espe-
cially the farmers OF West Virginia, and
what we want to say Is in regard to
wool growing. In 1901 We started a
flock Of Shropshire sheep mt cost OF
from so to $50 per head. During tho
samo year our sales amounted to over
three thousand dollars, at an average
OF SIS por head. Sold our wool Mt )?
cents per pound. In 1892 We increased
our flock 100 hOal-4Amo kind Of sheep
at cost OF from SO to $45 per head.
Salcs Of the same year wsro
$1,000 at MI average OF $47 50 per
head; sold tho wool at 50 ccnts per
pound In 1898 We Thought We
would stilI continue in the shropshire
huaino4s, and decided We should 90 to
England to buy our sheep, where wo
could get IL bcttcr quality. In August.
1877, we imported loo head Mt II cost OF
from So TO So pur head. So carly in
tho Same mouth we sold fifty hOad OF
those sheep at an average OF S0j por
hoal. In Sephmber sumo year We
went bnck to England and bought ~
OF still hetlor sheep than ever before at
cost of from So u SI5 per hea !. They
arrived in December following. Our
sales wero slow duNng the latter part OF
tho year. In 1891 so far wo have sold
twonty head Mt nm average oil sl1 pcr
head. We sent seven sheep to SIann'

not yet had buyer for our wool this
