The insurance agents of this city are
dubious as to whether the companies will
pay the 81 LOCO fine imposed. MANY are of
the opinion that IL will work a hardship
upon the smaller companies The agents
who represent the small concerns think the
large companies had hand in having the
fine placed at $lo0O in order to lessen the
competition by crowding out the little fel-
lows.
Subdued excitement prevailed all day.
One. of the leading agents said: 'I cannot
see how, under the law, a fine could be i'm
posed ana the ousted companies readmitted
10 the state However. It appears to me as
81 the Missouri officials could do anything
they desire to, regardless OF the law" The
local agents. generally speaking are jubil-
ent over the outcome OF the case.
