CONTROL OF: risk RATES
NEXT LEGISLATURE WILL TAKE
UP PROBLEM OF REGULATION,
SAYS COMMISSIONER

Insurance Commissioner J. A. O.
Preus in a statement issued recently
predicts that the next state Legisla-
ture will "no doubt take up the ques-
tion Of giving the department of in
surance or some other state official su-
pervising authority over rate making.'
"To get the best results,'' he says,
$50 far as the insuring public is con-
cerned, losses must be reduced by fire
prevention methods and overhead ex-
Big Drain on People
The commissioner asserts that the
fire losses of Minnesota are too high
and that the premiums paid last year,
amounting to $7,297 900, are too great
a drain on the people Of the state. &c
also recommends that the Legislature
provide some way of having the state
fire marshal cooperate with local fire
departments in each city and village
and with township officials, in order
that all property in the state may be
patrolled without any additional ex-
pense to the state and no consequent
raise in taxation. Such system, he
says, would result in a tremendous
saving to the people of Minnesota
throug gh a reduction of losses, whether
insured or not.
Losses For Five Years
He shows ~remiums and losses in the
entire state for the last five years in
the three large cities and the entire
state to be as follows:
Premiums Losses
St. Paul IS 5,170,l15.23 S 4,2O1, ,090.92
Minneapolis 9,895,636.33 6,930,916.78

State 90. 40,s86,O56.56 22,498, ,404.74
The losses for 1913 were but
$3,608,000 in the entire state, a. de.
crease of $437 ,698 over the 1912 rec
ord. Minneapolis showed decrease
from $1,133,256 in 1912 TO $797, 1903 in
1913, Duluth a decrease of from $685.
668 to $240,418, but st. Paul's losses
gained, being $8o6,492 in 1912 and
$1,l58, ,237.42 in 1913.
Mr.. Preus attributes the decline Of
losses in the state to the fire preven-
ton agitation which has resulted in q
better systm Of inspection, less incen-
diarism and improved materials for
building construction.

Washington, April Ia. -Presi-
dent Wilson today ordered vir-
tually the entire Atlantic fleet to
Mexican waters to force public
salute to the Stars and Stripes
from the Huerta government as
an apology for the arrest of
American marines at Tampico
last Thursday.
N ultimatum has been issued.
that is. no specified time has been
set within which the Mexicans
must comply. but the naval de-
monstration has been ordered as
a concrete evidence OF the fixed
determination of the United
States TO back up Rear Admiral
Mayo's demand for salute. Up
to tonight Gen. Huerta had not
made satisfactory response to
that demand.
Future development depends
on Huerta himself" was the way
a high administration official close
to the president summarized the
situation.
The decision to send the fleet
was reached after the president
and Secretary Bryan had con-
ferred for an hour with John
Lind. personal representative Of
the president in Mexico. and af.
ter a two-hour cabinet meeting.
during which dispatches from
Charge O'Shaughnessy revealed
that the Huerta government dis
puted the right of American ma
rines to be ashore at Tampico,
and contended that its recent
public statement of apology was
ample.
Immediately after the cabinet
meeting adjourned Secretary
Daniels issued his order to the
Atlantic fleet, and wireless mes
sages flashed up and down the
Atlantic coast to put the fleet
under steam for Tampico.
