Italy's Insurance Laws

yinccncio Ripamonti, president of an
Insurance company in Italy. who Is at

pering as never before. Mr.. Ripa-
monti said:
THE. insurance law which went into
effect the first OF this year is giving
satisfaction to our people. though 1t
has driven out nearly all of the foreign
countries. Under this law all COM
panies are required to give the gov
eminent the privilege of sharing in
their business to the extent OF 40 per
cent. and 1t is provided that the COM
panies doing business In Italy shall
not make their rates higher than is
prescribed by the government ofncials.
'sThe result has been that the gov
ernment itself has In q large way gone
into the insurance business. This ac-
tion was based on the principle OF self
protection.
IAN exhaustive investigation dis
closed the relation OF mortality and
births In italy to the cost OF insurance,
and the government saw that II would
be possible to insure life at lower rates
than the Insurance. companies charged
Now the poorer classes are able to
take out insurance where in the past
only the rich were privileged to insure
their lives"
