Supreme Court Grants Them
Another Court Case.
ORDERS FOR RATE REDUCTIONS
And Union Fif1ls Claimed II
Brought Big Loss.

The threat of. the uniou fire insur-
ance companies to withdraw from
business in Kansas WI not be carried
out, at least at presesJk. The supreme
court today decided that the COM
panies are entitled u&der proceedings
instituted nearly a yexr ago to have a
hearing in the district court Of Shaw
nee county as to whether insurance
premium rates fixed by the order OF
the superintendent OF Insurance are
compensatory.
After the enactment Of the Kansas
law, giving the superintendent Of insur-
ance power to regulate premium rates
by the 1909 legislature. the superintend-
ent Of insurance made orders for hor-
rates on mercantile risks and of IA per
cent on dwellings,.
The rates have been IN effect about
five years and the insurance companies
claim that they have suffered net loss
on their business in Kansas during that
half dollars.
Would Restore Rates.
About a year ago the companies
made application to Ike IS. Lewis, SUI
perintendent Of insurance, for author
ity to restore the rates TO the level Of
those in effect prior to 1909.
Superintendent Lewis refused to
grant this authority, and the compa-
MES began proceedings In the district
court of Shawnee coounty to compel
superintendent Lewis to permit an
increase in rates.
Attorney General John s. Dawson.
representing the state, has contended
that the insurance companies have
another course open to them under
the terms Of the law giving the super
intendent supervision of rates, and
that the case brought in Shawnee
county should be dismissed. With
this contention the supreme court does
not agreed, holding that the compa-
nies are entitled to full inquiry by
them the loss which they. alleEe.
