REDUCING INSURANCE RATES

REDUCING INSURANCE RATES.
II liability insurance companies
are going to find their outlay in
creased by the new w~orkman's com-
pensation law of New Jersey, how
can they be expected to reduce their
to employersg This Is the
question asked by Edison s. Lott,
srrcssdrnt OF the United states Cas-
nalty Company to Governor Wilson.
Lott also goes on to rdaicule
<4he governors Idea OF state insur-
since says that the governors
criticism was plainly founded on
hearsay evidence. Mr.. Lott further
says that the governor was evident
~ talking about q matter with
which he was not fully acquainted.
Incidentally It might be remark
that this speech by Mr.. Lott was
made at q meeting in New York at
which time a combine was perfected,
consisting of all thu big casualty in
companies so that hereafter
q tighter trust than ever will exist
In this branch of insurance.
Regarding Mr.. Lofts question,
that If liability insurance companies
are going to ind their outlay in
creased how are they to be expect
"a to reduce their rate, we would
say there was no one who expected
companies to reduce their rates
from what they were before the
woirkman's compensation law went
into effect. On the other hand, Il
was reasonable to suppose that the
rate would be increased. The fault
II found, however. with the fact
that the companies have gone be
yond all reason In raising the rates
jumping, IN some instances, even
more than 125 per cent. This, it Ii
claimed. Is excessive. Had the in
rance companies given a fair in
crease there would have been nc
complaints and Governor Wilson
would never have made the state.
mant regarding state insurance. Mr.
Lofts talk Of reducing rates, there.
fure, Is not to the point, The desire
for d reduction only comes after the
rates had been increased to such an
enormous extent. This reduction Ii
not only desired but will be insisted
upon or else the companies win And
themselves facing the seysrest kind
of competition.
Mr.. Lofts statement that the gov
nor In speaking OF state insur.
xnce. bases his statement on hear.
say evidence is amusing in the face
Af she t-c many OF the insur-
znce rates are liked BY those who
ara absolutely ignorant of actual
eonaltions ana thereby make tho Ia,
purance companies Ridiculous.

his argument has been that the loss
on second class matter was the cause
Of the great deficit in the postofice
department for years, and yet, while
the amount of second class matter has
increased about 1O-fold within a few
years, and $30,0O0,000 or $4,000, 600

the rural routes above the income

A generation ago Germany was
poor country. Today it is rich. Its
soil still is less fertile than the soil
of its great competitor, England; it's
climate is less favorable; its, iron
mines are poorer; its coal fields and
industrial centers are in a bad posi-
ton geographically. In spite of these
handicaps it has advanced, as Scot
land and New England have advanc-
ed, by development of its human re-
sources. The address on this subject
by Edwin G.. Cooley, former superin-
tendent of the Chicago public schools,
at the meeting of the national So
ciety for the promotion of industrial
education, which closed at Cincinnati
on Saturday, compels attention.

made in English trade by the com.

Home Rule for Ireland.

Having brought the power Of the
house Of lords down TO a veto which
only requires the passing Of bill by
the house OF commons in three con-
secutive sessions to overcome the re-
sistance of the hereditary house. the
liberal ministry announces its deter
mination TO settle the question of
home rule for ireland before the expir-
alton of the legal life of the present
parliament. Premier AsQuith is re-
solved TO put through a thoroughgo-
ing home rule measure before he runs
any chance OF losing control OF the
government in another general cleo
ton.
This course IS justified by the re
peated victories gained by the liberals
and their nationalist allies In recent
appeals 10 the country. Tho ministry
may well hold that II has been clearly
and definitely instructed to force
home rule at the earliest opportunity
notwithstanding the outcry which Is
sure TO cone from the unionists and
conservatives IN England and from the
conservatives in Ulster, the provinces
