The statement has been made that
one reason why fire insurance rates
have not been reduced in this city is
because insurance agents have held
office in the council and police board.
We do not believe this to be true. Fire
insurance rates in this territory have
for years been fixed by commission
or high board of underwriters, to whose
decrees nearly all insurance companies
have subscribed. 1t is nothing less than
trust. Nebraska Is ruled in the
matter of insurance rates as If it were
n province of the trust to which the
state has for years paid high tribute
Smarting under its arbitrary demands
the people of this state passed the
valued policy law. To make the law
unpopular the board from its Chicago
office ordered the rates raised again and
again in order that its servile subjects
may see the error of their way and re-
peal the valued policy law as a condi-
tion precedent to reduced rates. And
the property owners of Omaha may as
well make up their minds now as later
that insurance rates will not be reduced
until they organize for mutual protec-
ton.
Omaha daily bee., 1896-02-29

Congressman Hopkins has introduced
a bill into the house for the establish
ment of Il mint ut Chicago, arguing in
its favor that whereas there are mints in
philadelphia New Orleans, San Fran
cisco and Carson, there are smelling
works in oniahn, Denver, Kansas City
and Pueblo, for whose product there is
no mint handy. A very good argument
for another western mint. but hardly
IN argument for it's location at Chi
cago. If we are to have new mint.
why not locate itssat Omaha, the site of
the largest smelling and refining plant
in the country?
