a rAx-PAYER.s VIEW.

Mr.. Editor I have read the dis
cussion in your columns on the sub
ject of fire insurance. and with your
permission. 1 desire to give my ex-
perience as a property owner and
former resident in a state where there
is law prohibiting fire insurance
companies to combine to charge Ger
tain rates.
When this bill was before our leg
isiature I championed if, but after
ward saw it was folly and tended to
raise rates
A rate on building or stock is
made scientifically. The fire insur-
ance companies see what the profit
or loss has been on a certain kind OF
property for several years. They
then fix a rate on a standard building
and charge an addition for those that
are not up to the standard, thus en-
cOuraging good construction. These
rates are given agents, and when a
man improves his property his rate
is decreased.
If laws are passed to prohibit COM
panies from using these rates. invari-
when a man improves his property he
gets 10 advantage in his rate.
These laws therefore keep rates up
and companies can not pool their ex-
perience to see if they can be reduced
Since 1898, rates in all states in
| this country having no anti-compact
| laws have materially declined. The
average rate in these states for twelve
years has been Sill on every 800, or
| eleven points lower than 1893.
The average rate in states having
| laws preventing combinations or
rates for the same period is s127 or
one point lower than 1898. In the last
seven years rates of fire insurance
have been lowered 17.2 per cent while
| in anti-compact states they have been
! lowered only rs per cent.
In Kansas, for example, which has
an anti-compact law, the average rate
for fifteen years is $1.35. In states
having no such law it is SLOT for the
same time The average rate in Kan
sas since 1893 is S1.S2 in states hav-
| ing no anti-compact fire insurance
law. Sill
| SldlSS pdSSlHS SuCu laws, anu
are sixteen, hoped to force companies
to reduce rates. but it will be seen
such was not the result. These FIG
ures are taken from the state insur-
| ance departments.
These anti-compact states like Kan
sas have not participated in the bene-
| fit OF reduced rates because the com
| panies were not allowed to combine
and see if the results warranted a de
crease. Kansas today does not know
whether its rates are correct simply
because the companies cannot figure
out their combined experience.
Knowing that to abandon rates is
to invite disaster, companies will stick
to the old rates, therefore anti-com-
pact law states get no benefit at all OF
new rates. based upon standards that
give reductions.
for one see that these laws are
| failures and should be repealed.
