example Of a law which has been al

long after its usefulness and the con
dition that called it into being have
ceased to exist Attention has been
directed TO it by reason of the fact
that some days ago a citizen of Nor

THE ANTITRUST BILL
What It Will Do for Arkansas II II
Becomes Law

substituted the King bill, originating
with it, and gave il the right of way
Everything that the insurance and
do to kill it, or at LEAST secure the eX-
cmption of the insurance from its
provisions. proved futile The mem
bers were flooded with petitions sever.
al days We're given to hearings and ar
guments on the exception of insurance
from its provisions, but the amendment
failed and the bill passed the senate
bv a vote OF - to J. Governor Davis
had made the bill part OF the Demo-
cratic platform in the last campaign
and swung the party whip and claim
ed that its passage was demanded by
the voters In spite of all that Is
said, he insists that the companies are
only blahing in threatening to with
draw from the state, and asserts that
if Arkansas shows them that she
means business, they will all retire
from outside associations and com
ply with the Jaw Meanwhile the bill
has been postponed for Two weeks IN
the house. and the business interests
are making another effort to defeat it.
The ultra-tcrritorial feature of the
bill is one that makes the trouble. The
companies could easily add Arkansas
10 the'list of anti-compact states, but
they could net afford, for it, TO retire
from every organization for the max
ing and maintenance of rates. any
where in this country or elsewhere.
Under the bill a company would be
subject to heavy pena lties, even though
ticular in Arkansas. if it were a mem
Der of the Chicago Underwriters assO-
citation or of some rating association in

Much depends, of course, upon COM
plete cooperation on the part of COM |
panies Whether union or non-unlon, |
their interests are one in such con
test, and they should all go out to- |
gether. Already many companies are
discoura ging the efforts on the part of
their agents to cancel and reWrite for
long periods, and are limiting this
TO nearby eXpirations. The effect OF
withdrawal will be greatly weakened
if some companies hold on till the eX
piration of the sixty days. Any at
tempt to get around the law by or
business of general agencies. which
will do no business outside the state,
should be deprecated. It is hard on
the general and local agents to be
sure but the passage of this bill
means war, and war is hell and
someone is sure to get schorched.
The thing to do is to accept the issue
and fight il out If Arkansas insists
that she can learn sense only by
having it hammered into her, give her
all she wants But in such a fight |

Discussing the antitrust bill which
has passed both houses of the Arkan-
sas legislature the Insurance Post of
Chicago says:
1t begins to look as though Arkansas
would have a chance to see how her
business interests can get along With
ont fire insurance. Her governor, Jeff
Davis is having unexpected success
in forcing his ultra drastic antitrust
bill through the Legislature, and It's
enactment now seems probable. The
affiliated companies have already de
cided upon their course, and will retire
from the state as soon as the Dill
is signed by the governor. Then the
trouble will begin It will not be easy
for the companies, it will be very hard
on the Arkansas insurance men, but
it should be worse on the business IN
terests of the state. Arkansas credit
has been none too good at best ana
with it's insurance basis Withdrawn,
the merchants will begin to realize
how essential it is, unless they are
able to pay cash for all they buy, and
that is not the Arkansas style.
The companies have decided to force
the fighting. The bill allows sixty days
in which to comply with its require
ments. and if all Of the companies
had no intention of complying. they
could stay on that long without inter
ference. But they will not wait. They
want the people of Arkansas to trace
cause and effect Enthusiastically. II
they rtired two months after the law
had been passed, the short-slghted and
iiCkie-mindeG public might forget the
reason why. Then, Arkansas might as
we'll serve as an object lesson to other
commonwealths, since she IS deter
mined to make a fool of herself. Other
legislatures are still in session, and
while none have gone so far as she
in restrictive legislation, many are
going too far, and what may happen
TO Arkansas will make them go slow
and think several times, which will
be a sanitary innovation for some leg
islators.
And vet the companies are not de-
serving over-mueh credit for nerve and
backbone The law is one with which
it would be impossible for them to
comply. They would have to get out
sooner or later. and all that they have
done is to decide to quit sooner. This
is a gronnd-hog case, and not a choice
between TWO policies, like that present
ed when thousand dollar fines were
sMnposed in Missouri, and the compan-
les lost their great chance to prove
that business as conducted nowadays
cannot get along without insurance.
Arkansas will feel it much less than
Missouri. She has no large cities,
few large lines, and no great congea-
ton of values And yet even Arkan-
sas will know that something has hap
pened if she passes this law and the
companies go out.
Two bills have been before the leg
islaturc. each a duplicate of the other.

NARROW ESCAPE
Team CoIlided With Train al
Railroad Crossing
WILL SUE FOR DAMAGES

Mr.. Elias Shallcross, who resides near
Odessa, had narrow escape from instant
death at the railroad crossing in this
town early Wednesday morning. When
he approached the railroad he noticed
the passenger train which arrives here at
12.49 A. NJ, standing at the station, and
after waiting for it to pull out attempted
to cross the track.
As soon as the train passed, freight
train which had been lying South of the
crossing pulled out and before Mr.. Shall
cross noticed it approaching, the collision
occurred, and in his attempt to jump his
clothing was caught in one of the wheels
of a freight car, which drug him quite a
distance. His cries for help were heard
by the conductor, and after signalling to
the engineer to stop the train he pulled
the young man from his perilous position
just in time to save his life and fortu-
nately he was not seriously hurt
When the crash occurred the horse
broke loose from the vehicle, and was
not found until late in the morning, and
was only slightly hurt but the carriage
was reduced to splinters.
During the past few years several SINH
lar accidents have occurred at this cross
ing, and night fagman is badly needed.
We are informed Mr.. Shallcross has
retained counsel and will bring suit for
damages.
