Governor Stubs Asks Mr.. Barnes to
Check Insurance Companies

Governor Stubs today sent the fol-
lowing letter to Insurance Commission
er Chas. Barnes:
Reports from all over Kansas in
dictate that the insurance companies are
raising the rates since the new iHsur-
bility of this whole matter rests with
you as 1 understand the law.
kindly advise me at once what ac-
ton you expect to take to protect the
interests of the people who insure pro-
perty in Kansas under this act be-
lieve the law to be a good one If the
insurance commissioner does his duty,
and a very bad one unless he uses the
power vested in him to keep the In
surance rates within reasonable limits.
An early reply viii oblige, yours
very respectfully,
The new insurance law requires that
all insurance companies doing business
in the state shall file a schedule OF
rates with the insurance commissioner
and If he thinks any rate is too hlgh
he can disapprove that rate and the
The governors letter is based on TINS
section OF the law
| However it is believed that most OF
the protests over higher rates are based
/ on that provision of the law that pro-
hibits rebating. The large property
owners who have heretofore enjoyed

have to pay the same rate now thai
the little fellows pay. Mr.. Barnes stated
/ a short time ago that by the time tbs
new law had been in effect a year h

who have made a study of the new in
