IN the beauties Of freak legislation. The state has
forbidden fire insurance companies to do bust
ness there II they belong to any rating organiza-
ton either in Arkansas or elsewhere. Since
such organizations are recognized and neces-
sary feature Of the insurance business almost
everywhere the companies are Withdrawing
from Arkansas. which they can better afford TO
do than sacrifice their organizations. since the
business there is only about one-haf Of J per
cent of their whole business. So Arkansas pco-

render them in an impressive and dlSnl-

thing. In nine lodges out of ten the body
is opened and closed in a hurried lrreV-
