KANSAS CITY Is Held UP.
FIRE INSURANCE RATES NOT IN
LINE WITH OTHER CITIES.
Underwriters Claim Rates Are Not
Proceedings Brought by Attor-
ney General - Commercial
Club to Meet.

A reduction of one-third in fire insurance
rates has been made in New York city,
except in congested districts, such as the
dry goods district. the tenement district.
Broadway and the central districts. where
the reduction is only 20 per cent. No reduc-
ton whatever is made on buildings occupied
in whole or in part by oil or paint dealers.
distilIers. sugar r%efiners. -four and feed
mills. department stores, car stables. cleo
trio light and power stations. and piers and
wharfs.
These reductions are in line with others
that are being made in large cities. There
has been none in Kansas City. and local un-
derwriters say there will be lone until the
quo warranto proceedings brought by the
attorney general of the state against all Of
the companies in the St. Joseph compact
have been disposed of. Insurers generally
regard the excuse as lame, and are divided
In opinion as to the wisdom Of the inaugu-
ration of these proceedings, but underwent
ers insist upon this excuse in explanation
whenever a complaint is made that Kansas
City fire insurance rates are higher than IS
justified by the rates in other cities.
The insurance companies themselves are
proceedings brought by the attorney gem
eral, but the excuse for not reducing rates
does not seem to be materially affected by
this fact. and local underwriters assert
settlement has been made.
A meeting of the Commercial Club to dis
cuss the high insurance rates in Kansas
City will be called in the near future. The
insurance committee of the club, of which
w. A. Wilson is chairman. has held sew
eral meetings to discuss the situation dur
strongly of the opinion that reductions
should be made in the fire insurance rates.

AGENTS. POWER cuRTAILED.
COmmissiOner Frfcke Holds They
Cannot Issue Policies in
Wisconsin,.

Insurance Commissioner Fricke has decid-
ed that all fire insurance policies must be
issued by the company assuming the risk,
and that it is unlawful for a policy to be is
sued by any agent of a company. There
have been many rumors of late that he
contemplated such action. He has now de-
ciGed to issue a circular, which will be sent
to all the companies doing business in Wis
consin. This circular says that all policies
must comply with the conditions laid down
in the standard policy law, and If the COM
panies put in any new conditions the pol
icies are issued contrary to law. The law
says policies must be issued by the COM
therefore 1t is a violation to AVE a policy
on its face purport to have been issued by
the agent. All policies must contain the
name of the company or companies. the
place of business, the date of incorpora-
ton. amount of capital, and the names of
the officers on the face. Policies may have
anything printed on the back which does
not change the express agreement made on
the face of the policy. In the case of poll
cieS issued by agencies the
names of all the companies must appea
on the face of the policy. but a policy can
not purport to be issued by the agency, al
though the name of the agency may ap-
pear on the back. The circular gives the
can appear on the back: "The Milwaukee
Mechanics and the German Fire Insur-
ance Company. of Freeport. ILL.,, through
the Western Underwriters tagency, issues
this policy" etc. Agents in that state have
been in the habit of issuing their own pol
icies. Now all business will have to be
transacted directly with the companies.
