RIBATING WOULD FOLLOW

AT first glance the declaration of
Commissioner McMaster seems TO be
sound and patriotic. But a closer
consideration make us doubt the wis
dom OF his opinion on the PROPOSE
ton to receive cotton in lieu of cash
in payment OF insurance premiums.
II see no reason" says Mr.. Nc
Master. why the insurance compa-
MES and agents should not ACCEPT
cotton on ten cent basis in payment
OF premiums on insurance.
There is good reason" he contin-
ues. TO believe that cotton Will prob
ably be worth more than that, espec-
tally IL the crop of next year can he
reduced in size as compared with the
past production. At any rate the ex-
egencies OF the case and the general
methods OF doing business of today
seer to warrant me In saying that
there is no violation of the law In
agents and insurance companies ac-
cepting the cotton on ten cents bas-
IL for payment OF premiums.
The objection that may be made to
Mr.. McMaster's ruling is that under
the law 1t would not affect renewals,
we believe. while to accept cotton at
higher price than It's market value
would inevitably lead to rebating to
get new business. and the standard
and substantial companies could not
engage In that kind of wild cat bus
mess. While Mr.. McMaster's pur-
pose is no doubt laudable. yet he
should be more definite in his ruling
or revoke It.
