And the New Rate Books Are
Now Being Issued.
THE LAW is IGNORED
By the State Administration
and the Insurance Men.
Positive Evidence of the Exist
ence of the Combine.
Judge Skidmore DecidesAgainst
Underground Insurance Laws

The Clarkson rate book which Wehh
McNan compelled insurance companies
in Kansas to stop using has re-appeared
and is being used by insurance men,
generally, in the local business in the
various towns of the state.
Interested parties have denied the ex-
istence of the Clarkson rate book at
this time and the claim has been fur
Their made that the companies are using
independent rates such as were adopted
when McNall effectually completed the
job of bringing the old Clarkson book
into disuse.
1t has been but few days since an
official denial of the existence of the
rate book was issued from the state
house. This was also augmented by a
declaration from insurance men who
sustained the claim that the book is not
now in use.
True it is that the book is not issued
under Mr.. Clarkson's name but it is
issued by Mr.. c. E. Eldridge who
got after the institution. The book con-
tains a schedule of rates similar to those
found in the old book; is printed in the
same manner and except a change in an
occasional rate the books now being
issued by Eldridge are the same in ALI
particulars as the Clarkson book.
The following reproduction of the
cover of one of the new rate books is
the best evidence of their existence:

OPENS Way FOR RAIDERS.
Anti Underground Insurance Law
Knocked Out by Judge
SkidmOre.

Columbus, Kan, June 2S.-The insur-
ance law passed by the last Kansas
legislature, which prohibited a persons
insuring his property in a company not
authorized to do business in Kansas,
was declared unconstitutional yesterday
by Judge A. H. Skidmore. The decision
was made in the case of the state of
Kansas against John K. Williams. L. c.
Boyle, eX-attorney general of Kansas
represented Williams in the suit.
Williams is a lumber dealer of Galena
and dues large business. He was ar
rested recently for violating the law
passed by the last legislature. This law
prohibited persons inSurtng in a COM
pany unauthorized to do business in
Kansas and provided that in the event
one did insure with a company not so
authorized the contract would be taxed
in a sum equal to 10 per cent of the
amount of premium paid or contracted
to be paid; and such tax became a lien
upon the property so insured. 1t was
the insured who had to pay this tax.
About five years ago the lumber men
of the west conceived the plan of insur-
ing each other. J. w. Carney of Kansas
City, an old line insurance man, was
put in charge of formulating a scheme.
He did so. AS a result the principal
lumber dealers of the west commenced
to insure each other. This seriously
crippled the old line companies, as lum-
bermen were among the best cuStO-
merS the insurance companies had.
Premiums were cut in two. Still the
''Lum bermen'S Exchange" f1ouriShed
and expanded. The insurance compan-
les then inspired the law yesterday de-
clared void. The ''Lum bermen'S Elk
change" had no permit to do business
in Kansas. If the lumber men inSuring
at the Lum bermen'S Exchange could be
made to pay a tax of 10 per cent they
could not afford to continue such in
surance and would thus be driven to
purchase insurance in the old line COM
panies. So the old line insurance COM
panies had the law passed by the last
legislature, and Williams, who carried
insurance in the Lumbermen'S Ex-
change, was arrested under it. He re-
tained Mr.. Boyle to defend him, and
Boyle attacked the law as unconstitu-
tional for the following reasons:
That the title of the act was defec-
tive; the act interfered with the right
of private contract, the contract was
entered into in Missouri, and hence was
beyond Kansas interference; that the
tax was not levied for a public purpose.
Judge Skidmore sustained every con-
tentiOn made by Mr.. Boyle and dis
charged Mr. Williams.

.Fac-simile No. p
Supplement- 4-2. Inspection Report.
Lawrence. KS. May 25, 1899.

If the old rate book is not in use
what is this supplement issued for2 To
paste into the Clarkson book for use, OF
course. No new book has been issued
for Lawrence, hence the conclusion that
the old book has been resurrected.
The adoption of this rate book by the
insurance companies and the official
recognition given them by the governor
and superintendent of insurance is a
direct violation of the antitrust law
enacted in 1897. When the pool was
first started Attorney General GODDARD
stated that he would prosecute it's pro-
motors if the plan was carried into OPP
Grafton. The plan has been adopted;
the rates have been promulgated; the
companies are now using the rates
which were prepared, adopted and pro-
mulgated by the superintendent of in
surance and three representatives of
insurance companies.
The statute governing these matters
defines expressly, as a trust, a cOmbina-
ton for the purpose of raising or lower
ing rates of insurance. If the rates are
lowered it is trust; if the rates are
Increased it is a trust. Either condi-
ton being true it is the duty of some
official charged with the enforcement of
the law to take action.
People argue that since the rates are
lowered there should be no complaints.
On the other hand it is Contended that
the companies will soon tire of the re-
duced rates which are made only for
campaign material, and make increases.
If decreases may be made without legal
that the companies could violate the
law just as easily by making the in
crease.
The local agents in Topeka have prac-
tically decided to refuse to adopt the
new schedule promulgated by the in
surance department. The claim is made
by the agents, and they have had a
dozen meetings to talk the matter over
that the schedule is unreasonable; that
it is not what is claimed; that it will
not make reductions claimed for it and
that it is SO unjust as to be burden
some.
Notwithstanding all that has been
claimed for this alleged reduction of
insurance rates one of the most prom
inent and reliable men in the business
in this city said to a State Journal re-
porter today:
4 have carefully compared this new
schedule with the old rates and I can
find but little difference in the rates
fixed by the new bureau as compared
with the ClarksOn book. There are some
instances where changes are made but
on the whole the talk about a general
reduction is boSh. Reductions in many
cases will not be made. The theory of
the new schedule is such that reduc-
tions might be made if outbuildings
were all entirely modern, but the red

and says Funston went over on raft

permission to swim the river and stretch

and that they returned with a raft upon
