a TAx-7AYER.a VIEW.


Mr. Editor I have read the dis
cussion in your columns on the sub
ject of fire insurance, and with your
permission, I desire to give my
perienee as property owner and
former resident in state where there
is law prohibiting fire insurance
companies to combine to charge GER
tain rates.
When this bill was before our leg
islature I championed it, but after
ward saw it was folly and tended to
raise rates
A rate on a 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 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, int-ari-
ably they stick to the old rates and
when man improves his property he
gets 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 500,
eleven points lower than 1898.
The average rate in states having
laws preventing combinations
rates for the same period is S1-27
one point lower than 1898. In the last
seven years rates of fire insurance
n hoo hill
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 S1.35. In states
having no such law it is SLOT for the
same time The average rate in Kan
sas since 1898 is S1.32 in states hav-
ing no anti-compact fire insurance
law, Sill.
States passing such laws, and there
are sixteen, hoped to force companies
to reduce rates, but it will be seen
such not the result. These fig
ures 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 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 beneft at all OF
new rates. based upon standards that
| give reductions.
1 for one see that these laws are

Bulletin IS, Kansas Experiment Sta
tion- During the summer of 1898 the
milk from the college herd of so cows
was sent to the Manhattan Creamery
Our object in sending the milk to the
creamery instead of making butter was
to test how cheaply milk could be
handled and yet be delivered in good
condition, and how few and cheap
things could be used to keep milk
sweet for sufficient time that Sat
urday nights and Sunday mornings
milk could be delivered in good con-
iition Monday Many creamery pa
irons are unable to keep milk sweet
longer than IS hours, and either feed
the milk of Saturday night and sun
day morning or else set it and make
butter for family use They are not
properly equipped for making butter,
and most of them do not secure nearly
all the butter fat from the milk, While
at the same time, it only comes
once a week, the work is a nuisance
If milk can be kept sweet at rea-
sonable cost from Saturday night until
Monday morning, those who live at a
distance from creameries can hold
their milk and deliver every other day,
saving half the expense of hauling
Creamery men told US that if We could
make Automatically delivery of milk
pra ctIeable for farmers with little
money, large amount OF milk couio
be secured for creamer1eS and SKIM
ming stations In the newer ddAS us
tricts where the amount now secured
is not sufficient to make the business
profitable.
The Manhattan Creamery is 112
miles from the college dairy, and our
milk was hauled to the creamery by
neighboring farmer who handled a
milk route, the college milk receiving
exactly the same treatment while on
the road as that given the milk from
the neighboring farms We had a
creamery room which cost US 500 ana
was fitted with a cement floor and ice
box; but farmers who had difficulty in
keeping their milk said that they too
could keep their milk if they had such
a place but that the average farmer
could not afford the expense We,
therefore, abandoned tins room and
built what one OF our farmer boys
called an every -farmer-can-a fford-1t
milk house. We set some posts and
nailed to them old fence boards max

Probably the carbonic gas thrown
off does not readily accumulate at the
bottom of any such place but remains
mixed with the air and moves up and
down and goes out with the moving

separation would take place, but it is
not at all likely to occur where the air
