J OCAL Insurance agents sOho
L. were told by Surveyor Lee
WcksnS;e that the new rate cards
zvouId Be issued yesterday acre some
1'hat disappointed BY the fact that
they did not reeerVe them. The rates
are not effectrpe yet. although It suas
believed by the agents. under repre-
sensations made by Mr. MeKensie.
that the new card pvould be out three
or foor weeks ago. It is understood,
howeper, that ovins to the large
amount of typographical and press
zvork to be done a delay has been en-
oountered 1obich It has impossible to
AVOID. ibis is the explanation whicb
has been sfven the insurance agents
for The non-appearanoe of the cards.
~ NTIL the agents receive the new
schedules and examine them. the sv-
erage reduction made will no, De defl
nitely known /, is the general under
standing among the insurance men, how
ever. that the reduction Will he between
Is and % per cent. on an average In the
case OF hazardous stocks the reduction will
not apply. however.
AS yet the members of The local insur-
ance agents organization have not agreed
upon the date when the new rates saau
become effective There is a wide diver
gence of opinion as 10 what date should %
chosen for the taking effect of the lower
rates. Investigation yesterday developed
the fact that among the agents themselves
there exist strong differences of opinion
and policy on This score. 1t was learned
that no general policy has been adopted
by the agents. but that. at present at
least. the agents Will solve the question.
each firm f,r itself. regardless OF the ac-
tons Of the other.
Insurance men do not attempt 10 conceal
the fact that in this condition Of affairs
there exists an impetus to cause rate
war By this IL Is not meant that II Is
probable that there Will be a war Of rates.
However such a thing is possible at any
time Tire facts are that several insurance
firms in the city have definitely determined
on instructions from their companies 10
make the new rates effective August and
10 diibN REBATES on a.! p0iiCicS written
since that date. according to the individual
reduction made in each individual ease
Some firms, on the other hand, insist
that the new rates should be placed in eff
feet as II issued prior 10 August l. One
agent said
We have made certain promises to our
clients In the matter OF reduced rates
which We will carry out. no matter what
course is pursued by the other agents In
other words, we understood that when the
resurvey was made last summer the new
tes would take effect Immediately Our
customers during that time expected "a
much, and they asked to he treated ac-
cordtngly. In some eases We agreed TO this
view Of the matter. Under those conii-
tons we Will make renates according 10
our agreements with policy holders"
A rebate In premium amounts 10 a re-
duction in the rate ot insurance Thus II Is
APPARENT that there may be more or less
controversy among the agents as To the
time when the new rates shall become -
fecttVe. While the agents themselves as
sert that a rate war is thing 10 be avoid
ed. they do not deny that one is possible
under eXiSti3 z circumstances.

A WORLDS CRISIS.

We live i'll strange age. Things
improbable and almost impossible
transpire and We do not wonder. In
this day cf the telephone, magnescope,
liquid air, K rays and wireless tele-
graph, few would be surprised if
g!ancing upward some day they beheld
a full rugged air ship flying at the rate
of 500 miles an hour carrying a party
of Chicago excursionists to the moon
for a picnic.
Great changes are taking pla7c in
the moral, religious and social political
world. Evolution and sevolution
two of natures mighty FORCES. are at
work Change is the order of the
day. In business and political life
the golden rule has been modified &c
read, ,"Do others before they get al
opportunity to do you" "Thou shalt
be as mean as the law will permit
thee" has taken the place of the new
commandment to '.love one another.
While the Ethiopian cannot change
his skin, nor the leopard his epots, ;
political parties can change their skin
spots, principles and policies and the
average partisan is SO color blind and
prejudiced that he refuses to believe
his own eyes, AMI usually votes with
them shirt. .-Es
