Less Insurance Being Carried

Insurance men are beginning to
feel the effects OF the unjustIy high
rates recently piled upon some sec
uons Of Main street.
AS policies expire and should be
renewed, they are being dropped
People are thinking about the ques-
ton and figuring the cost.
Insurance is simply a business
proposition If insurance rates, taxes
and other fixed charges eat up all
the profits then man had better go
out of business and work for a sal
airy.
Some men are figuring that they
can afford to carry some OF their
own insurance. Some can do this to
a greater extent than others. The
late Mr.. F. A Reynolds. who had
many houses in Canon City. said he
made money carrying his own insur-
ance.
Take George Bethel, for example.
He has carried insurance on a stock
of merchandise in Canon City for rs
years The rate he is asked to pay
today is $3.50 for $1,000. Suppose
he had carried $4,000 insurance dur
ing that period at the present rate
of $3.50; he would have paid to the
insurance companies s17,70s Quite a
handsome fortune in itself And he
has never had a fire.
Another question people are asking
is-how much insurance is it good
business to carry? What proportion
of the value of business block
should be carried in insurance?
Many have been carrying heavy in
surance. Some so and 90 per cent.
Is it good policy to carry so much? ?
OF course, that is a question for each
man to settle for himself, but all can
learn something by looking into a
proposition.

LEE FRANCIS LYBARGeR

One OF the mos; interesting and ex-

delivered by Lee Francis Lybargor Of
Philadelphia at the First Methodist

Mr.. Lybarger is one of tho masters

country where the system of admin

mutation OF vast sums or money In
the hands OF a few men controlling
the resources of public wealth to the
prejudice OF the people at large.
The development OF the marvellous
resources OF this country during the
nineteenth century. according TO Mr..
Lybarger. was without precedent in

OF William Montgomery and william

co. COMMISSIONER BACK
FROM TRIP TO DENVER

Messrs. W. II. La Grange. W. r.
Alfred and $. G. Kelso returned home
Thursday afternoon from Denver.
where they went the first OF the week
TO urge the adoption OF several good
roads measures now before the legis-
lature. especially the bill asking for
an appropriation OF $4,000 from the
state treasury for the construction Of
the proposed public highway from
Parkdale mp the Arkansas river to
Salida. Leadville and on over the di-
vide to the western slope. They are
ssnguine OF the passage OF the bill,
but expect the appropriation to be
sealed down very materially from the
amount named in its provisions.
On Wednesday night they were
guests at the good roads banquet at
the Albany hotel, which was attend
ed by thirty members OF the legisla-
ture and the boards OF county COM
missioners. The banquet was for the
purpose of discussing the improve
AlthN anu tNithSlOu Vi AAt hiSuN ds
system OF the state and addresses
were made by Senators MeCue, Skin
ner. Barella and Crowley; Represen-
tative Durfee of Florence; c. A. John
son, president OF the Denver Cham
Der OF Commerce and Chas. r Nc
Lain. OF Canon City. president OF the
recently organized good roads move
ment in Colorado. Ex-senator T. J.
Ehrhart. of Salida was POSTMASTER
at the banquet. which was among
the most notable gatherings OF the
kind that has been held in Denver
for some time.

able interest. was that regarding the
proposed Moffat tunnel The speakers
all declared they we're opposed TO the
using OF convict labor for this work.
Cañon City record., 1911-03-02

IN twenty-five years a building has
not burned completely down on Main
street. There have been several fires
but in every case the FIRE has been
detected and extinguished before
much damage was done. We DO not
recall a single fire-in that time that
did to any one building a damage OF
$500.
The figures are not at hand--per-
haps cannot be had-but we risk the
estimate that in 20 years all the fires
on Main street put together have not
cost the insurance companies so
much as the business men and prop
erty owner on Main street pay out
for insurance premiums in single
year.
Insurance companies recognize the
fact that large fires are not to be ex-
pected. They show it in their rates.
They want you to carry heavy in
surance because that is profitable TO
them. They make big inducements
to get you to- carry full up insurance
because they know the chances are
greatly in favor of a small fire if any
fire at all
So. the more insurance you carry,
the lower they make the rate.
Take the case of a building where
the rate is $50 for 81 900:
A little Ins. costs $50 per $1,000
20 per cent Ins costs. 16 per 1000
so per cent Ins. costs. 15 per 1000
30 per cent Ins. costs IA per 1000
Where the rates are moderate many
people feel that they can afford to car
ry so per cent insurance; but where
they are put up out of sight many
feel that they will take chance on
smaller amount, and under the pres
ent schedule of extra high rates
great deal less insurance will be car
ried in Canon City than ever before.

CHARLES K ATAIy HAS
MANY EXCELLENT POINTS

Dear Mr.. Hardy
Here are some reasons why Mr..
Charles r. McIain would make a
good candidate for mayor:
Because he is interested in the well
fare and growth OF Canon City and
although a business man himself, l
think could give both time and
thought TO its up-biulding.
He is well known not only in our
own state. but in neighboring states.
as an enthusiast and worker in the
Good Roads movement and would
take pride in making Canon such 4
worthy terminal that all good roads
would lead TO us and many good peo-
PIE would follow the good roads.
He is progressive in his municipal
ideas. He accomplishes things and
in my experience with him has never
put his shoulder to the wheel that it
did not turn and there was SOME
THING DOING.
