ALEssoN IN CORPORATION LAWS.

Some wears ago. says the Insurance
Herald. the insurance commissioner oi
Ohio in his annual report laid particular
stress on the bad effect OF the Va'ueu
policv laws ard other laws fninicai 10 INC
business Of fire Insurance. In that report
he stated that IN France the average rae
of insurance is only eight cents on each
sion insured. while in the United States
the average rate exceeds huhorea
cents on each 800 of the amount insured.
Our insurance contemporary says that
this Is due to valued policy laws IN the
t7iferen. States tending to encourage
rather than prevent arson. and thinks
that It IS a great pity that these COM
nar;sons have not been brought to the
attention CT legislators in the several
n States, SO that they might address them
selves to the task Of securing the rePeai
of all laws adverse to insurance inter
ests and to the enactment OF stringent
protective laws somewhat on the order
of those in France. But tho Herald goes
on to say that the Legislatures OIL many
y States do not know, or If they KNOW, GO
= not heed the prevailing effect OF most OF
these reeulative statutes which do more
harm than good This example is given:
Some wears ago the State of Virginia
enacted what is popularity known as the
: Wharton law. under which the sotth-
eastern Tarif Association was drlVeH
Z from that State. At that time, or rather
for each of the two years before, Inc
4 average rate for fire insurance in Geor-
: Eia and Virginia was the same. II was
tcontendcd that the effect of that law
: would be to reduce rates. but the fact Il
THAT although as above stated, the aver
: age rate in Virginia and Georgia for each
a of the two years preceding the enactment
q of the law was precisely the same the
Z average rate in Virginia has increased
Ito S.45. while in Georgia. where the
Z Southeastern Tariff Association is al
- lowed to operate. it has decreased TO
sI24 n difference of q cents, Which is
I nearly three times the total average rate
{. sn France. where good laws prevent fire
while, we are informed. it was stated
), few weeks ago in the Virginia. ConStltu-
< tional Convention that the Wharton law
6 had saved to the people of that state
: sl5e. 900, the fact is that it has not saved
them che dollar. but has increased their
. premiums. II had cost the city of Nor
folk not less than $4,000. and probably
9 go more into detail as to the effect OF tne
Virginia law referred to in different cities
: in that State, but the central fact above
stated of the increased average rate in
Virginia aud the decrease in Georgia tells
( the story sufficiently for this time.
We do not vouch for these statements.
4 for we have not had the opportunity I"
examine the records. but a well known
insurance agent of Richmond says that
he has made an investigation and has
verified the comparative figures given
by the Insurance Herald. At any rate
the statement is worthy of attention and
investigation by the membership of the
Constitutional Convention and General
Assembly. As a general proposition we
believe that nine-tenths of the so-cailed
antitrust laws do more harm than good,

right is a much more outrageous per-

by the cities which have already collected

George G. Lorimer. ID. D.. founder OF Tre-
mont Temple, Boston. The hall was filled
to the doors and the music was furnished
by the choir quartet of the First Baptist
church.
DIR. Lorimer took for his subject the
text: "What shall It profit man If he
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul"
lie said In substance: ''rhe time is past
when we talk about the crude Christiani-
~ OF the soul. you can't even see the
