ference of state governors with the presi-
dent of the United States, when the gems
eral subject of conserving the natural re-
sources of this country was discussed. 1t
has often been emphasized that property
destroyed by fire is an absolute loss to
the individual, and a destruction of wealth
In our national resources.
The proposition which is ungreatly con-
fronting the fire insurance companies to-
day is a business one, because for the last
ten years they nave transacted business
at a loss at 455 per cent, as Mr.. Kelsey
figures It.
In an article on the Annual Fire Waste"
MIR. Henry ]. Furber, jr, attorney of the
Chicago Board of Fire Underwriters, says:
THE combined population of France,
Italy, Switzerland and Denmark in 1890
(the year of our last census) was some
thing more than $1,000, 900, or about that Of
the United States, The average annual fire
loss OF these four countries, for periods
running between 1900 and 1904, was a little
less than 81, 5C0,O as compared with an
annual fire loss in the United States, from
1900 to 1906, of over $l73, O,OOO, or nearly
ten times greater.
If Great Britain and Continental Eafope
can reduce their fire waste and fire tax,
this county certainly can If it starts out
to do it.
The accomplishment Of this end would
also bring with It a saving on the actual
cost of the present fire insurance tax,
which would be so enormous in amount
as to insure the success of any enterprise
which had such a reward for its consum-
nation.

FARM VALUES MOVE UPWARD
Development of Nebraska a Story
Full of Magic.
BOOSTS RICHES OF THE NATION
wealth of the state, BRsed ON Land
is Solid, Our Farm Mortgages Are
GiIt-EdEe and Home Money
is Plentiful.

The basis Of value of farm lands is it's
productlveness. A farm intelilgenty
handled suffers no deterioration; it cannot
blow away or burn up and its value is in
trinsic.
The development of Nebraska farms Is
like a magic story, with its chapter on
making the desert bloom and arid regions
TEEN with rich harvests. Thu productive
ness of Nebraska soil has added many
millions to the wealth of the nation ana
today the Nebraska farmer, business man
and banker are Independent of Wal street
So wonderful has been the yield of grain
alfalfa, fruit and root crops In the last
fourteen years tina If statistics were COM
piled and given here IL would be astound-
ing. That investments in Nebraska farm
lands have been most profitable is evil
denced by the fact that thousands Of Ne
braskans five, ten and fifteen years ago
owning scarcely any property and many
working on salaries through investment In
Nebraska farm lands have acquired for
tunes. on every section, In every town

the sources of small or large fortunes. you
will find in ninety-nine cases out of each
hundred the accumulation of wealth came

safe or better than Nebraska farm lands, II
is not subject to the caprioes Of Wall street
as was evidenced in the recent money
panic. with which the average Nebraska
farmer had little concern and no worry
and during that money furry no tarmei
would consider parting with his holdings
for a cent less than before. From tina
time the price Of land has been steadily

surance tax direct to the. company, but
also contributes to the state tax on the
company, which is included in this rate;
while the noninsurer gets the same munich
pal or state protection, without this addi-
tional burden"
On the subject of state taxation of
premiums, Mr.. Kelsey gave figures show
ing a vast excess paid to the state over
necessary expenses, all Of which, he as
serts, lis in a way the penalty paid by
people who buy fire, life or other insur-
ance indemnity, over and above those who
do not"
Another crying need in this country, said
Mr.. Kelsey, is the adoption by large cities,
and by the state for smaller cities and
towns, of laws and ordinances regulating
building construction. In this connection
1 refer to four special recommendations of
the National Board of Fire Underwriters
to-
Provide for the protection of buildings
from outside exposure fires; for the pro-
lection of all vertical openings in build
ings; to prohibit the use OF shingle or other
combutible material for roof covering; and
to call special attention to the necessity
of limiting the height and area of build
ings. In fixing the limit of height and
area for buildings, consideration should al
ways be given to the efficiency of the fire
department and the adequacy of the water
supply. No fire department should be de-
pended upon to successfully cope with a
fire of serious proportions at a height be-
yond sixty-five or seventy-five. and a fire
in any building having an unbroken floor
area greater than 5000 to 1850 square feet,
Omaha daily bee., 1909-04-25

is likely to be difficult for the firemen to
control.
Mr.. Kelsey point out that, as the result
of the burning of San Francisco and the
losses sustained thereby, the foreign fire
insurance companies imported into this
country during the year 1906, 1852, 44 in
gold. Those funds went to pay actual
losses, which had to be met with spot cash.
During the last financial stress and furry,
the banks imported through New York
City, during the months of October and
November, $5S, SO1, 7s4, and in December,
1907, $50, $40, sos, or a total of $94,S7S, 692. The
total gold imports for the whole country
during that time amounted to SIP, 535, S46.
After the San Francisco fire, the Ameri-
can fire insurance companies raised and
put into their business to meet their losses,
a new capital amounting to $26, 29s, 513. This,
with the amount imported by the foreign
companies, make $S4, 900, 917 of absolutely
fresh funds required in the business to
meet the emergency.
1t is thus demonstrated, says Mr.. Kelsey,
that although given communities or even
states may be comparatively immune from
excessive fire loss for an extended period
of time, the confragration loss-that great
leveler in insurance experience-must al
ways be borne in MIND that reckoned on as
a liability-liable at any time and any
place to smash good records and make bad
ones worse.
Much has been said and written about
the enormity Of the fire waste in this
country, and frequent made on
| the conspicuous omission of any reference
to the national fire waste during the con-

prevent It's turther advance IN Ndlue'
Nebraska Values Solid.
Many good reasons exist why Nebraska
farm lands will continue to advance in
price. Approximately one-half of the popu-
lation OF this nation is dependent upon
agriculture and our crops are our main
stay. Nebraska Is fortunate in being in
the corn belt, and no matter how many
millions. Of acres are brought under Gull
tivation by irrigation, there is only q
certain area in the corn belt, and Ne
braska's yield of corn each year will bring
thousands upon thousands of dollars TO
its farmers. Corn, wheat, oats and alfalfa
have made Nebraska farmers Independent,
its railroads earn good dividends, its live
stock markets have been supplied with Ne
braska beef, pork and mutton, and the
mills grind night and day, furnishing en-
ployment for thousands upon thousands
who directly and indirectly are dependent
upon the prosperity of the farmer.
Nebraska farms, If judiclously bought,
are today a most desirable and profitable
Investment, and great fortunes will be
made by the shrewd, careful. conservative
investor. The higher priced farm in eastern
Nebraska has not reached it's highest
Ndlus' a SOou uuslllnS SCuub FARMER, nav
ing enough to make a fair payment, need
not hesitate to go in debt for a Nebraska
farm. The farm will pay every dollar OF
indebtness II properly handled. No Ne
braskan has any good reason for taking
surplus earning from Nebraska farms and
investing it in cheaper lands 200 to 400 miles
north or south, when right here in Ne
braska are more good, safe and sure oppor-
tunities for investment and speculation.
Conservative investors are realizing this
and refuse to invest other than here, no
matter how cheap land and glittering
promises are made. They know no greater
money making crops are produced than
corn, wheat, oats and alfalfa, and here in
Nebraska we have the soil and climatic
conditions that do not exist in the far
away localities. We feel like calling a
halt and shouting, Stand up for Nebraska
farms that made you the wealth by which
you have a surplus to invest" 1t is hard
to conceive of an investment as good as q
productive Nebraska farm.
