IL per cent reduction in rates ordered

This is incorrect" said a prominent
insurance man this morning. THE let
ter of the state superintendent of in
surance has been misconstrued. In his
letter to the companies over the state
he asked that the companies follow a
certain form of stamping the rates on
the back of their files. AS far as the
reduction of the rates themselves is
concerned, they are being made strict
ly.
THE Kansas insurance companies
have followed every state law to the
letter." continued the insurance man.
I'VE have made these new reductions
effective in September and the many
people over the state who have felt the
reduction will approve these words.
There have been no attempts to evade

ed with great interest.

President H. L. v. Twining, of the
Aero club of California telegraphed his
position to CORTLAND F. Bishop. In
discussing the matter Mr.. Twining said:
Under the articles of utilization, the
local club has the right to arrange a
meet without consulting the Aero CLUB
Of America, with which 1t is animated,
provided 1t conducts the meet under the
rules and regulations of the Aero club
of America and the international Aero
auto association. So far as l can see
all these rules are being complied with.
see no reason why the Aero club OF
America should not be satisfied with
what we are doing. Since We under
stand the situation and have sanction
ed this meet as a local club. the Aero
club of America has no reason to go
back OF our action.
IT have no fear that the Aero club
of America when fully informed as to
cur action, will approve the sanction
granted to the aviation meet IN Los
Angeles, for there is nothing in the
coming meet which will violate the
rules or make this mere show. The
Merchants and Manufacturers associ-
alton of Los Angeles has placed it in a
position that will prevent its being a
money making scheme and the Aero
club Of California. by it's sanction and
supervision. will see that the meet Will
be conducted throughout for the best
advancement Of aviation"
