competition in Fire insurance.

From the journal OF Commerce.
A special committee Of different
state insurance commissioners has
been holding session in this city to
| consider the general question of State
! regulation or control of fire insurance
| rates 1t was held some years ago
bv the Supreme Court of the United
| States that insurance conducted by
! the same company in different states
Ia not interstate commerce which can
| he subject 10 national regulation.
Each state may regulate the bust
ness within its own jurisdiction, and
tho result is O variety of laws In diff
Serent states and with which II is diff
hc,llt to comply with due regard for
equity among the insured and safety
For the underwriters. Some system
of uniformity is desirable, and the
presumed purpose OF the commission
ers is to seek that, so far as II may
be attainable.
The most common complaint
against insurance companies, as
against most corporations with which
the public has to deal, is that their
charges are too high and that they
enter into combinations to maintain
them. They do not keep rates down

in which iinrestrained competition ts

Of the interests of the companies en-
gagged in It, but of those whom they
serve than that of, FIRE insurance,
which involves risks that cannot be
calculated beforehand with any pre-
cislon. Premium rates should be rea-
sonable and charged without diserin-

ditions. But 1t is for the interest OF
all that they should be sufhcient and
that they should be stable. To be

one object of attack has been the
bureaus of rates agreed upon by dlI-
ferent companies or associations, and
one contention Is that rates should De

or superintendeuts In the interest or
the public. 1t is desirable, II not nee
essary. that there shouid be an or

which shall be observed without
undue discrimination or variation,

be subject to no influence or pressure

and practise. Therefore. Il should not
consist of subordinates of any pubic
official. This does not imply that
there should not be a strict official su-
neryision. accompanied by publicity

Competition IN the ordinary sense OF
the term is inconsistent with safe in

WASHINGTON, July 1s-S. Wood
McClave, Republican candidate for con-

the Sixth New Jersey district next
Tuesday, came to Washington tonight
and told the senate lobby investigating
committee that Martin NJ. Mulhall, late
"lobbyist" for the National Associa-

himself in his testimony before the
committee. McClave denied emphati-
cally that Mulhall had raised or spent
money for his campaign or had been a
close companion and associate in his
