REGULATION OF
FIRE INSURANCE
COMMISSIONERS APPOINTED BY
GOV. DENEEN MEET TODAY.
win Consider the ACCESSIBILITY of the
state of Illinois to Undertake Its
ReeuIation-Much Dissatisfaction
at Present Method.

Chicago, Nov. 10 Inquiry into
the sentiment among business men as
to the advisability of the state Of
Illinois undertaking the regulation OF
| fire insurance rates has been con
cluded by the commission appointed
by Gov. Deneen, and the investigators
meet in Chicago today for an execu-
tive session. at which they viii COM
plete plans for the hearings which
are expected to develop from under
writing and rate-making experts the
! facts for which the commission is
seeking.
The commission feels that it has
now developed the average public
sentiment as to State regulation of
rates. which generally favors it.
This is largely because of the in
volved and technical nature of the
rate-making problem, which the gen
/ eral public, with many insurance
men, cannot understand. The insured
is given a figure which is told he
must pay. If he is shown the details
of an elaborate schedule. making
/ charges for deficiencies in his risk
from the assumed standard and Civ
ing credits for improvements. He
does not know whether those charges
and credits are correct or not. and
is equally at sea as to the basis rate
upon which they are built up. For
that reason, because he does not
know and cannot know, he asks that
the State intervene, compile the sta
tisties and see that he gets a fair
show.
Most of the witnesses said they
woald be satisfied with any rate if
they were only sure they were not
being gouged and that no favoritism
was being shown. Having developed
this sentiment, the commission will
endeavor to learn from economists
and others whether it is possible and
advisable to meet it, or whether the
same end can be reached by changes
in present underwriting methods,
with a minimum of State Interior

chant that ever lived could not afford
to hire 10000 different clerks to tell
about his goods And these at most
could visit in one day 100000 homes.
