unable to do. It was often said in
all kinds Of trades in Duluth when a
puzzling job confronted young me-
chanics: "Take it to Mr.. Parker:
he'll show you how to do it, And
he never failed. He always took
pleasure and pride in giving lessons
to the young mechanic.
Mr.. Parker was patron of The
Labor World ever since coming to
Duluth, He. sympathized with our
work. and often dropped in for a
pleasant chat. His reminiscent stor-

Are fire insurance rates in Duluth
too high?- The matter Is worth look
ing into, According to statement Is
sued by the state department of insur-
ance last week there were paid in
premiums by Duluth people last year
$6a3,7S7.0S. For the same period
there were paid in losses by the in
surance companies to Duluth people
s227.9o2.74. .-.e * t..
During 21 years fire insurance COM
panies have received in premiums
from Duluth $1o,s3o,064.os, and they
paid back in losses exactly $780,
354.74. The loss ratio for 1918 was
approximately 33 per cent. In FL
years 1t was about 81 per cent.
Putting it another way the people
of Duluth last year paid to the fire
insurance companies doing business
here just $465,SS4.74 more than they
received. back in losses. In another
way it Is 50 for the company and ST
for the insurer.
In II years we gave the Insurance
companies :$5.o00,o00 in round mum
bers more than were paid back here.
There is big fire risk in Duluth, but
from this statement we are morally
certain the insurance companies do
not propose to take any chances. In
any event 1t would not hurt for some
agitation over insurance rates. If we
are to pay more taxes to improve our
nre department, we at least should be
given reduced insurance: rates in re-
turn to make it worth while to pay
