perfectly natural for it to keep its eyes
wide open that it may not miss an

misleading statements. Now we wish
to repeat that the fire loss rate in the
South is less than it is in the North,
yet the rate for the same class of
hazard is greater in the South than
it is in the North. The companies do
not propose to release the grip If they
can hold on. They recognize that the
next legislature is practically sure to
abolish the rating board law They
also recognize the fact that the law
as at present has created such a noto-
rious trust within the state that should
the legislature fail to provide relief
the commercial organizations will in
all probability go into the federal
courts and secure relief under the
Sherman antitrust law. |

this action, and to enable the CON-

The Insurance Companies
PerfeCfing Their Trust
BY l.. NJ. HEWITT.

The current issue of Texas Issur
ance reproduces the article published
in these columns April / and ther
proceeds to comment as follows:
"The fire rating board law now
known as the state insurance board
law was primarily enacted to equalize
rate, that is to say, to prevent discrim
ination as against the small insurer
This it has accomplished.
According to Mr.. Hewit's showing,
in Texas. Further, the recent Houston
fire will cut big swath in 1912 as the
insurance loss is given as $2,520310,
and yet solely for the purpose of re-
ducing rates he advocates the return
OF competition regardless of actual
conditions Or the burden that would
inevitably have to be borne by the
community. In other words, il is SIM
ply urging the policy of each one for
himself and the devil take the hind.
most.
Texas Insurance is perhaps as
much opposed to an increase in rates
as anyone in the state. but It can not
close its eyes to facts which are be-
yond dispute.
Mr.. Hewitt says that conditions in
the state have been improved by at
least 10 per cent Now the board
shows by tabulated statement that
has been carefully compiled, that out
of 10000 fires reported upon, the loss
ratio of preventable fires in dwellings
Is 80 per cent and GAL in all other
classes except cotton gins and auto.
mobiles (Which classes burn from in
herent hazards
From this it is clear that the rem.
edy is with ourselves Let us improve
conditions by rigid care and the en-.
forcement OF those rules laid down for |
the prevention of fires. When it can !
be demonstrated by actual results that !
we cut down this criminal fire waste ,
sufficiently to justify reduction in
rates Texas Insurance may be relied
upon. If necessary, to press the claim"
We will agree that rates have been
eQuali2ed to the very highest possible
point As to equality in rates there is
no such condition. There are any num-
Der of instances in this city where
rates have been raised 800 per cent,
vet hazard conditions are better than
existed under the old plan of competi-
