HOLD OWNER FOR
INSURANCE COST
Local Fire Company Approves
of Lead Taken by Missouri
Association.
COULD REDUCE ONE-HALF
Taxes Imposed by states Must Be
Added to Premiums-Fraud-
ulent Claims.

NJ. P. Wore, secretary of the Ameri
can National Insurance company OF
Rock Island, has received a copy of a
declaration on the cost OF fire insur.
ance adopted at the annual meeting
OF the Missouri Association OF Local
| Fire Insurance Agents held at st.
Louis. 1t is one that Mr.. Wore maiII-
tains should be generally needed over
the United States, and is as follows:
THAT fire insurance costs more
than is necessary is admitted. The
reasons are not generally understood.
Theories for its reduction are not
wanting, but the practical solution of
the problem bristles with difficulties
The greater part of the cost of fire in
surance is the losses, which could and
should be reduced one-half. This
would lower the cost of insurance at
least 80 percent. Such a reduction
would not be a hardship TO anyone,
but distinct benefit to all. Insurance
companies, their local agents and
other representatives are doing, and
will continue TO do, more than their
share Of the work for the reduction of
fire waste. The responsibility for this
excessive drain upon the resources of
the country rests upon the properly
owners and voters. The conservation
of the resources of the country repre-
scented by buildings, machinery snd
merchandise is of even greater i'm
portance than the protection of our
forests and mines. Good building
codes and fire prevention statutes,
coupled with fire mas1nal laws, would
substantially reduce the fire waste.
DISHONEST LOSSES.
Another factor in the cost of fire
insurance. and one that is unneces sary
and Ubiquitous, is the payment of dis
honest losses and the overpayment OF
legitimate losses. This robbery of all
other premium payers amounts pToba-
bly, TO 90 per cent of the losses paid.
For this part of the cost the Insurance
companies and their representatives
are not responsible. Upon public
opinion, which smiles upon and often
encourages those who soak the cor
porations', We must place the blame.
II is q notorious fact that the defense
of unjust claims by fire insurance
companies costs more than the claims
themselves. The public sides with the
claimant right or wrong. So powerful
is the injustice of public sentiment in
this matter that should a company
contest every questionable claim il
would soon be out of business. The
taxes imposed upon fire Insurance in
excess Of the amount required for the
proper supervision OF the business is
not part of the cost Of fire insurance.
The legislators, instead of collecting
direct from the property owners this

ARE To COLLECT
BALANCE OF FUND
Members Of Industrial Commits
sion Intend to Keep Faith
With Contributors.
PLEDGES ARE NEGOTIABLE
Donations Made In Form Of Notes.
About Half of Which Have
Not Been Made az Yet.

At q joint meeting yesterday after
noon OF the board of control of the
Industrial commission, the board of
trustees of the Greater Rock Island
Development fund, and the directors
Of the Belt line. 1t was decided 10 col
lect the portion OF the booster fund
which is still unpaid. The meeting
was called by the newly appointed
members Of the board of control of the
industrial commission. They found
that they possessed a treasury which
consisted for the most part of pledges
in the form of negotiable notes, but
that outside of this they had very lit
tie with which to do business.
PLEDGES IN GOOD FAITH.
1t was pointed out to the meeting
that it was the duty Of the Industrial
commission to see that the fund was
entirely collected and disbursed as it
was intended to be by those who SO
generously donated it.
The subscriptions were made in thu
best of faith and many of the contribu
tors have paid their entire pledges,
while others have paid the greater
part of them. There are many, how
ever, who have not met their notes,
and this works an injustice upon those
who have. 1t was unanimously agreed
that if the commission was to make
good its part, the fund would have 10
be collected, and accordingly the
board of trustees was ordered to pre-
coed.
TO REPORT ON AUDIT.
By July 10 each of the contributors
to the booster fund will be furnished
with copy of the report made by ex-
pert auditors who have gone over the
books of the Industrial commission.
The report will show just how mucL
of the original fund has been col
lected to date and just how it has been
spent 1t was also arranged that on
this same date a list of the contribu-
tors to the fund will be printed in the
newspapers and there will also be a
list of those who signed pledges but
have as yet failed to meet their notes
The meeting Of yesterday was held
at the Rock Island club rooms in the
New Harper house.
