NO REDUCTION DUE TO M,NALL.

NEWTON, KAS.. Sept. 1s.-(Special)
The reduction in the rates of insurance
which the McNall organs have been harp
ing about, has not been apparent in New
ton. The old figures are still in force in
general, be the applicant large merchant
or the owner of an humble Kansas home
There have been a few instances of a
cut from 4 former rate, but they are
the city's water service is 200 per cent bet
ter. and the fire department 100 per cent
more effective.
The administration organs have copied
with great gusto an item from a Newton
paper, stating that the policies on the
school buildings of the city have been re-
newed Eat a very low rate" This is true
The old rate was s2.70; this year the "spe-
cial rate" made the board of education
was S1.25, but the agents who wrote those
policies are not doing their regular bus
a canvass of the representative business
men on this subject brings to light these
facts. The Journal correspondent quotes a
few of them, and the interviews are a fair
index of the sentiment of the city. These
men are all either big business men or
heavy owners of rental property. They
say:

road Loan and Savings Company-"We

of a great number of our members. and

tions have been the same. the rate has not

M.NALL.s INSURANCE REprCEp.

TOPEKA, Sept. 1S.-(SpeciaL) McNalrs
decreased rate on fire insurance has not yet
overtaken Topeka, although its arrival
here would be hailed with delight by the
people. The only thing that the people gen.
orally here know about there being a re-
duction of rates in Topeka is what Nc
Nall says in his speeches in other parts of
the state. This is certainly not very sub
stantial and the business men are now
anxious Ito be shown 1t mas reached
that point where they are from Missouri
Have your insurance rates been de-
creased since Insurance Superintendent
McNall began his fight on insurance COM
panies one year ago last April?'
This question was asked oI twenty-five
business men of Topeka. Twenty-Five said
No" Three said they had. but in each
statement that McNaIl had nothing to do
with it; that the risk had either been i'm
proved or that the local agent had shaved
his commission.
This same question was asked McNal
who owns some property UP in Smith
county.
He blushingly admitted that his rates had
been decreased. 1t would not have done
for him to say they had not.
This leaves ii where the Topeka business
men interviewed have not profted by Sc
curing reduced rates of insurance but
where McNall has. 1t is reported here that
that is what ails Governor Leedy's eye
he almost lost the sight of it looking for
some man whose insurance rales had been
decreased by McNall.
The business men whose interviews on
the subject appear below were called upon
promiscuously. Their replies to the above
question follow:

ness houses and the largest apartment

the life and fire insurance policy holders OF
Kansas have been saved $4,000 through
the instrumentality of Webb McNall," as
Congressman Botkin is charged with as
serting when in the city week ago. Green
wood county policy holders have certainly
not received their apportionment.
the correspondent for The Journal inter
viewed large number of the leading busi-
ness men OF the city in regard to what, IL
any, change has been made in life and fra
insurance rates to the betterment of poll
the reply was that they were paying prac-
tlcalIy the same rate they had paid in sew
erai years. But two men claimed to have
received a reduction over preceding policies.

with them. The same also holds good as

city is writing policies to-day on the same
conditions and at the same price that pre-
vailed one. two and more years ago.
H. C. Zil!ey, mayor, and one of the lead
ing hardware dealers. says: Il am paying
the same rate for fire insurance today that
nave always paid in the eight years that
have been in business"
w w. Morris, who IS probably the
heaviest taxpayer in the city, says: THE
rate is the same as 1t has been for several
years, and the policies are written up
with the same rate We have claimed to
our agents that ths Clarkson rate was
knocked out. but our claim apparently cuts
no figure in the case
The above are in substance the same as
that of a score of other leading business
men. The Leedy administrators alleged

good to policy holders

No REDUCTION.

EMPORIA. KAS., Sept. 1s.-(Special) In
his speech delivered here about two weeks
ago. Webb McNall claimed that since he
has been superintendent of insurance all
rates had been reduced and that he had
saved money for every business man in
Emporia. Twenty of the leading men were
interviewed and not one is getting fire or
life insurance at a less rate than two
years ago.
DIV. Morris. who carries $4,000 insurance,
states that his rate has not been affected
by McNall and that, in his opinion, the
work being done by the superintendent
tends only to drive from the state good,
reliable insurance companies and to bring
in companies who are not first-class, but
who will stand in with McNali. He also
stated that he would, in case the McNall
method continued, take his business to
Kansas City and run the risk of collecting
from good company in case of fire.
G. w. Newman, who has the largest
store in Kansas, says that his rate has
not been affected since the reign of Nc
Nall. ard that he is unable to see how
McNall has benefited this community in
the least.
Howard Dunlap, president Emporia Saw
ings bank said: 1.-THE state has not re-
ceived any benefit through the holdup
methods of McNall. Several good COM
panies have been driven from the state:
they. consider McNall a passing evil and
would rather withdraw and lose the Kan
sas business than remain and be held up
by n pirate. McNalfs figures show that
the insurance people make great amount
of money, but ii must be remembered that
30 per cent of the income credited to the
companies should be deducted for expense.
The business done in Kansas does not
justify the expense which a fight on Nc
Nall would incur, consequently a number
of good companies have withdrawn and
will return to Kansas for business when
McNall is out"
