Provisions of Bill.
! The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Wheelan is along the line of the
Kansas law on the subject. Mr..
Wheelan's experience in the insurance
world is proving of value, and he has
been, able. to frame bill that Will
prove advantageous to the people Of
the state and particularly to owners
of property, and at the same time sat
isfactory to the local representatives
of the companies. Insurance men and
others who have studied the subject
have seen Mr.. Wheelan's measure. and
have given their opinion that the
measure covers the ground well.
The provisions of the bill are as
follows:
Every fire insurance company shall
file with the superintendent of insur-
ance, general basis schedules, showing
the rates on all character of risks ID
the state, and all charters, credits,
terms, privileges and conditions that
in any way affect the rates or the value
of the insurance
No change may be made in thu.
schedules except after 10 days notice
{ to the superintendent of insurance.
The notice must state plainly the
! change proposed and the time when
the changes shall become effective and
new schedules must be filed to show
the changes. The superintendent ot
insurance may, if good cause is shown
allow changes on less than 10 day;
notice.
/ If in the opinion of the superintend.
ent of insurance any rate made by any
company is excessive or unreasonable
: or any rate is inadequate. he shall
direct the company to file different
rate, either lower or higher as the case
may be.
No company can insure any risk un-
less the schedule of rates has been
filed as required, and no insurance
shall be written on any other rate,
and no rebates or refunds shall be
given nor any, extensions allowed en-
cept as provided by the schedules.
Any company issuing insurance on
any property not scheduled, shall file
within 80 days schedule of this prop
erty. showing the rate and such infor-
nation as the superintendent may re-
quire.
Open to Inspection.
Section provides that all sched-
ules and local tariffs shall be open 10
public inspection. and the local agents
shall exhibit copies to the public.
No company shall collect or in any
way obtain a greater or less compen-
sation from one person than from ali
other for the same character of risk.
and any company doing so shall DC
deemed guilty of unjust discrimind-
ton, which is declared by the act 10
be unlawful.
The superintendent of insurance IS
given the power to revoke the license
of any company found to be violating
the terms of the act. but the revok-
ton of the license shall not affect the
liability of the company or its agents
to any other penalty provided for in
