Threaten 70 Stop Writing.

An informal conference OF ire In
surance companies interested in Ken
lucky business was held in New York
to consider the unfavorable conditions
in Kentucky. Judge Thomas Bates, OF
Chicago, and Glen E. Wheeler, pro-
prietor of the Kentucky Actuarial Bu-
reau, attended in order to give any
information desired regarding the sit
uation. There was no concerted &C.
ton, but the company managers say
that there can be no profit in any Ken
lucky business, on which rates are re-
duced, in view of the fact that the
loss ratio for Kentucky in 1912 was
SAT and for 1911 68.6. When expense
ratios are added to these figures they
say Kentucky rates are too low now,
and that the only remedy, when Ken
lucky rates are reduced by the state
rating commission, is to stop writing
the classes made expensive to COM
panies by the new schedules. This, it
is apparent, will be done by companies
acting independently of one another.

Not Bound to support Eather.


The Appellate Court decided that
when son takes land from his
father in consideration of an agree
ment to support the father for
life, and the father goes crazy and is
sent to the asylum, the son is not COM
PEELED to pay the asylum for the keep
of the father. The case decided is that
Of the Eastern State Hospital of Lex
ington against w. P. Goodman, in
which the judgment of the Fleming
Circuit Court is affirmed.
w. P. Goodman had transferred to
w. A. Goodman tract of forty-seven
acres of land on consideration that w.
A. Goodman would support him for
life. He was sent to the asylum for d
few months later and the asylum sued
him to recover $140.95. The court
holds that the contract made between
the son and the father was for the
support of the father at home and not
in a hospital, and that the son at all
times was ready and willing to carry
out his contract at home.

Amendments Probably Adopted.

While it will probably take the off,
cial count of the returns in the 120
counties to determine the result of the
vote on the two amendments proposed
to the Kentucky constitution it seems
that both have been adopted. The
first calls for such change in the con-
stitution as will permit convicts to be
worked on the public roads and
bridges, and the second provides for a
change to permit the classification of
property for taxation, the idea being to
curtail the amount of evasion and to
get more revenue into the Golfers of
the state. One of the most commend
able, features of the election was the
vote in Fayette, Christian and Hender-
son counties to establish and consti-
tute each Of those counties as a tuber-
culosis district and to erect and main
tain therein sanitarium for the treat
ment OF the white plague.

western Newspaper Union News Service
Frankfort.-The state insurance
board adopted schedule OF fire insur-
ance rates for buildings used for vari-
Gus industries of the tobacco business
to become effective December 1. The
general reduction of the present rates
on loose leaf warehouses is 35 per
cent and on their contents KS per
cent; on storage warehouses, 80 per
cent. on their contents Is per cent; on
frame stemmeries and -rehandling
houses, 10 per cent, and on brick
stemmeries and rehandling houses %
per cent. Basis rates on each 800
value of the brick buildings were re-
auced, as follows: Storage houses,
from so cents to 40 cents; sales houses
and loose leaf houses, 81 to rs cents;
pricing and rehandling houses and
stemmeries, $1.75 to $3.50, and drying
houses 81 to $1.75. To this rate 40
cents, instead of SO cents, is added for
frame construction, and Is cents, in
stead of 20 cents, for iron-clad con-
struction on wood skeleton; cents,
instead of 10 cents, for wood founda-

ished, except in unprotected towns.
The board will fix the charge, in
stead of the companies, for unsafe ar
engagements of boilers, fiues, electric
fixtures or any other undesirable con
ditions of the buildings and direct the
| changes desired. The system of the
cumulative exposure is abolished, even
in unprotected towns, Heretofore the
rates have been the same on buildings
as their contents, but on account OF
| the nature of tobacco and its suscep
tibility to damage by smoke and water
as we'll as fire the board decided that
rates on brick buildings in protected
cities should be lower than on the to

reduced 80 per cent, and on their con
tents 20 per cent. Further reduction;

The Census Bureau at Washington

has been unable to announce the re-

and it is stated the statistics will be

Census Bureau, said that much diff
Guilty is encountered in the collection
of the data, because many dealers
either unintentionally or wilfully neg
lect to make the census reports until
they are repeatedly reminded of the re-
quirements of the law, and in some
cases it has been necessary to threaten
to enforce the penal provisions. The
law requires that these reports shall
be made to the government April 1
and October each year.
When the law first became effective
it was necessary to send special agents
into the field to enforce compliance.
Recently, however, the dealers and
manufacturers have shown more will
ingness to comply with the law.
