FTGHTING THE FIRE loss.

An excellent move in the campa ign
for the reduction of fire losses in Fan
sas has been made by Fire Marshal
Parkman in demanding that fire insur-
ance agents be compelled to view tire
risks against which they issue policies
Most of the insurance companies do
ing business in the state have promised
to instruct their agents to make per-
sonaI inspection of all risks offered for
insurance. And if they make these
promises good. which they undoubtedly
will, one of the holes that help to swell
the fire losses will be plugged effec-
tuaIly
1t is true that the great bulk of the
fire losses is due to carelessness If one
sort or another on the part Of prop
erty owners. They pay scant attention
to reasonable safeguards against fire in
the construction of their houses. They
let rubbish and trash accumulate in
cellars and closets that are often the
media for spontaneous combustion.
They don't use reasonable precautioh
in the storing and handling of matches.
Men and boys are not particular as 10
where they throw their lighted G'gsr
and cigarette butts. In fact, the ways
in which people are careless apodt
guarding against fire are well 1iga
numberless.
But it is also true that no incon-
siderable portion of the fire loss that
has to be paid by the insurance com
panies. and which helps most materlal-
" to keep the cost of insurance hlgh,
has been due to the negligence of tne
agents of these companies in not in
specting the risks on which they write
insurance. This has resulted in much
over-insurance and has been an open
invitation to the incendiary to get rich
quick. Indeed, if the inspection OF
risks were made mandatory the toun-
try over, it is safe to venture the as
sertion that the incendiarism which the
unscrupulous indulge in for profit, and
which is now actually carried on TO
an extent of large proportions, would
soon become an activity of the past
This evil of non-inspection of risks
is far more pronounced in the larger
centers of population throughout the
country than it is in the smaller ones.
In cities of the size of Topeka, where
most of the people are generally known
to each other, the insurance agent IS
usually familiar in a way with the
risks he is asked to insure. Indeed. the
biggest part of his business is done
with friends or people with whom ne
has something of an ecquaintance.
Such a condition of affairs maintains
pretty much throughout the state.
Nevertheless, the move that has been
made for an inspection of risks in Kan
sas is wise one. 1t Is certain 20 re-
duce the fire loss here for there has
been incendfarism and over-insurance
in Kansas And it is reform that
might we'll be undertaken by every
state in the union. 1t adds a little more
work to the labor of the fire insurance
agents, but the returns in cutting DOWN
the fire losses would be worth Will.
