by Mr.. Hess, it is clearly to the inter
est Of the people to see that all forms
OF insurance are taken from under the
restrictions Of the general Antitrust
Law, and placed under a separate and
distinct statute, regulating the bust
ness, a statute that will protect the
people from abuses, we one that will
encourage the best thought from the
companies, agents and people in the
just solution of the problems facing
them. No progress can be made by
spirit Of antagonism, one side ar
rayed against the other, with the To-
cal agent trying to serve both parties,
but in a spirit Of fairness, with mod
Grafton and reason we can take up the
task and adjust it to modern ideas of
progress. Mistakes may be made,
but these can easily be corrected as
we move along, and as surely as night
follows the day, the existing misun-
derstandings and animosities toward
necessary business will disappear

FAMOUS TRAMP LOVES HOME

A babys voice has proven stronger
than the call of the wanderlust to
"A-No.-l," the worlds most famous
tramp. For more than 30 years, Leon
Ray Livingston was on the road as a
tramp; not because he was forced to
take up the life, but because he loved
the freeness of it all.
There isn't a travelling man in the
country who hasn't seen Livingston's
mark on railroad stations and water
tanks throughout the country. Even
now one can follow his latest trip
through Georgia and Tennessee by
watching for -No.-l's" arrow and
initials.
His latest tramping trip, and he
says IT will be his last, led him into
Erie, Pa, last January. A crowd was
at the station to greet him as he slid
from the rods underneath a railroad
car. In that crowd was a young wo.
man. She timidly shook hands with
"A-No.-l." The tramp was interest
ed in her and soon learned that her
name was Miss Abigail Trohoski.
For the first time in thirty years
"A-No.-I was interested in some
thing besides his carefree life on the
road. That something was Miss Tro-
hoski.
In n few weeks the Miss" was
changed to Mrs" and everyone won
dered just how long "A-No.-l" could !
resist the call of the road
But he settled down to writing the |
book he had long planned. A few
days ago uniformed nurse crept
from room in "A-No.-ps"
home and walked up to him.
ITS girl" she whispered.
Thank God for that" answered
'A-No.-l," I'm glad it's not n boy,
Tor he might have decided to be
ramp, too; Just like his father. The
-oad has no more attraction for me
now; for with a wife and a young
tier at home, what use has a man for
he life of a tramp ?"-Hearthstone
Magazine.

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

Hush money does more talking thn
any other kind.
When you see an overdressed wo-
man escorting man who looks like
a door mat, you know who is boss in
that house.
A girl can put in ten years acauir-
ing culture. But that won't keen her
from snoring when she is asleep.
The man who beats his wife isn't
bit worse than the man who robs
his family by spending his money on
his friends.
The old-fashioned man who used TO
paddle his own canoe now has a SON
who owns motor-boat named "Ish-
kabibble." ~
1t is funny what difference a few
years make. The girl used to let you
chew her wax" in school while you
took whirl at her "all day sucker"
now has daughter who carries her
individual drinking cup so she won't
get any germs in her mouth.

CONCERNING INSURANCE


The most frequent question asked in
Missouri is Are FIRE insurance rates
too high or too low To answer this
question fully will require trcatmcn,
m detail and at great lcngth--too long
for news letter Suffice it to say
that hundred years ago fire insur-
ance was a new ching m America,
there being but little diversity in
risks, so that the manner of naming
rate on such risks rs were insured
was extremely simple. At first only
two classiticatlons were given any con
sidcration viz: wood buildings and
brick or stone buildings. Everything
including the building and contents.
WAS insured at the same rate brick
buildings and contents at $lOO and
wood buildings and contents at $500.
In the course Of time insurance
companies began to realize that the
two classifcations above mentioned
would have to be undivided, which
was done in this manner,
Brick or stone buildings with met
al or slate roofs.
Brick or stone buildings with shin |
gle roofs,
Wood buildings with slate or metal
roofs,
Wood buildings with shnglc roofs,
Brick or stone dwellings with slate
or metal roofs,
Brick or stone dwellings, with shin
gle roofs,
Wood dwellings, with slate or metal
roofs,
Wood dwellings, with shinglc roofs.
After time experience and observ-
alton taught the underwriters that
brick or stone building with slate or
metal roof was less likely to burn
than one with shingle roof, likewise
was this true as between slate or me-
tai rooted wood buildings and wood
buildings with shingle roofs. The on
ly element entering into the rate at
that time was the building itself, no
regard being given to the hazards
within or the exposures surrounding
it. In the development Of the bust
ness, however, it began to he learned
that building occupied as retail
or wholesale store was not as likely to
burn rs a building occupied as "A saw
mill, carpenter shop. laundry. cotton
mill or warehouse; that furnace in
a frame building was more hazardous
to that and surrounding buildings
than If installed in brick or stone
In like manner it was OBJ !
served that the inherent hazards of ;
contents differed, experience 1
teaching that the contents Of dwell {
ing house offered a greater loss haz-
ard than the dwelling itself; that l
stock Of merchandise offered a great t
er hazard contained within a store s
than household furniture in {
q dwelling house, and that the ma |
'hnery in factory offered greater /
oss hazard than the factory build @
ng. So the underwriters began to 7
'nlarge their classifications Of risks c
md to differentiate between the build
rgs and their contents, having careful n
1gard for the occupancy of the en- c
ice building, whether occupied by p
ingle tenant or by two or more.
Insurance is business that has de- s.
eloped step by step. experience being d
le infiexible teacher. and rates began b
, be constructed on a more scientific e,
isis. charges being made for all haz- r,

Experiences with forest fires on the
national forests this year show that
automobiles, where they can be used,
furnish the quickest and cheapest
transportation for crews of fire fight
ers. Motor rates are higher than
those for teams for the actual time
employed, hut the total cost per dis
lance Travelled and the wages paid to
men in getting to fires is much less.
The tlme-saving is self-evident; trips
which ordinarily require two days
time have been made by automobile
in few hours.

OPPONENTS TELL WHY
THE PORT DISTRICT PLAN
SHOULD BE DEFEATED

with pride to as good a school
plant and equipment as can be
found in any city in the entire
world.
I'VE have shown our enterprise
by spending 100000 for our
magnificent light and water sys-
TENS, just completed, which have
capacity for four times our pop
ulation.
Then We have the most COM
modious and we'll developed har-
Dor to be found anywhere In our
country. In this harbor we have
six miles Of modern docks that
will accommodate fifty large
ocean steamers at one time. We
have ocean warehouses four times
in excess of those of Seattle or
San Francisco.
I'VE have the only city in the
country in which four transcon-
tinental railroads have provided
warehouse facilities for a port six
times our size.
Such vast improvements have
necessarily made our taxes high
and a jump of % per cent in the
last year should call for a halt.
Any further harbor improvements
needed can be made by our city
commission without great ex-
pense. If our city commission
can bring two such utilities as
our light and water plants forty
or fifty miles through private
property surely they and the
county commissioners can adjust
trifling matter like the divid-
ing line between the city and
county. The expenses of the port
commission for one year, and this
must be raised by taxes, will build
