INSURANCE LAW
STOPS REBATING

ILLEGAL.
FIRE RISK MEN AFFECTED.
Milwaukee Agents Win Victory in
Stamping Out Time Honored
Custom.
HEAVY PENALTY FOR VIOLATION

MADISON, Wis, May 90 Special
Without beat of drum or flare of trum
pets a new law has been placed on the
statute books that makes fire insurance
relating a criminal offense. The bill
known as 2S5A was signed by Gov
Davidson almost two weeks ago but If
the rush of legislative business WAS los
sight of and, despite its Importance
has not been commented upon generally
Milwaukee Is Affected.
The bill was introduced in the Assem-
bly, early in the session at the re0ues1
of delegation of insurance men who
expressed their desire to put Il stop tt
the Pernicious practice of fire insurance
rebating. 1t is well known in Milwau
kee that several agents a~e giving largs
rebates on fire insurance policies anc
the custom has grown to such tire
mendous proportions that certain agents
who stood firm on the ground that i
was bad business policy have been driv
en- out of business. Many of the laTg
est business concerns in Milwaukee are
known to have accepted heavy -ebares
and the agents have bowed to the prac
tlce to 50 large an extent that nova.
days the agent who grants the biggest
rebate gets the business III a large per.
centage of cases.
Penalty Is Severe
The anti-rebate law provides that ''Nc
agent shall offer to pay or allow, or of
Ter or agree to pay or allow, as an in.
ducement to any insurance, any rebate
OF the premium paid or payable under
It's policy, or any special favor, ad,
vantage, benefit, valuable consideration
or inducement whatever not specified in
its policy" Thus an agent who, in an
effort to secure Il good line of fire in.
surance gives as an added inducement
an accident policy to the prospective Gus.
toner, is as liable to suffer as the agent
who pays back part of the premium.
The penalty under the new law is
severe. When it is proven by com
plainant that an agent has rebated he
may be fined from $50 to $500 or be
sent to Jail for six months. If the IN
surance commissioner is satisfied that the
Offense has been committed he is EN-
powered to revoke the agents or the
company's license for three years.

benjamin Franklin entered the
printing business soon after his ar
rival in Philadelphia, and on October
2. 1929, issued his first number OF the
Pennsylvania Gazette. AS every print
er in the colonies published an alma
nae Franklin issued his first number
in 1892, under the name of Richard
Saunders. Poor Richard as the peo-
pie called the almanac, contained, be-
sides the usual information found IN
such publications, collection of max
inns in quaint and simple language.
An extract from one of the pages OF
this almanac runs as follows:
Richard says 'Tis foolish to lay
out Money in a Purchase of Repent
ance; and yet this Folly is practiced
every Day at Vendues; for want OF
Winding the Almanac. Wife, Men, as
Poor Dick says, learn by others

but, Felix QUEEN faciunt aliena Peri

says, put out the Kitchen Fire"
1t was in this style, and in this way
on the pages of his almanac Poor
Richard gave to the world the hun
dreds of maxims which are now al
most universally, quoted.
In order to devote more time to
study, Franklin, in 174s, sold his news
paper, almanac and printing house to
David Hall, one of his employees, in
of G1s,000, payable in
IS years, during which time Frank
