My covenant will I not break, nor alter
the thing that has gone out Of my lips.
Psalms xxx. "a.

Psalms lxxxix. "a.
The near approach of a New Year, the
beginning Of a new period of affairs, the
taking Of stock of those things which have
to do with our business life. brings with it
also the period Of making resolutions, of
opening a new book, of turning over to a
new and unmarked page.
Resolution making is as old as life itself,
and it is good to make resolutions, better
to keep resolutions which are for the good
of self and of humanity. And this New,
Year habit of making resolutions is a habit
which can but help. The thing to do is for
each Of us to study wherein we have failed
in the past and with the help Of God re-
solve that we will do our utmost to over
come in those things in which we have
failed.
There can be no set rules as TO resolu-
tons Of the New Year, but each man and
each woman must make the rule for reso-
lutions which will best aid in each par
ticular case. But yet there is one resolu-
ton which all can well make, his that the
endeavor will be to lead better lives, to
strive the harder towards the goal of the
HIT, AOI j OCtS uCI even SQulIC IL
words Of Holy Writ TO teach us that there
are none perfect. no, not one.
And indeed does not that one resolution
cover all the resolutions which we could
make? To do better. That is what the
world should seek with all it's might. We
will find that every resolution which we
would Make, if it is a resolution such as
mankind should make, is for betterment
along some one line or another, along many
lines and all lines. If this New Year SO
close upon US leads you, Or you, or you, to
seek better and higher things it will be q
great year for you, and SO with you we hail
the coming of 1915, and wish that it may
become a year in which resolutions to do
better will find a reality in all the activities
Of life.

FIRE INSURANCE RATES.

The claims being made Of reductions in fire
insurance rates in North Carolina are such that
the people of the State felt a spirit Of rejoicing
that this reduction was real. But on top of this
came rumors that the reductions announced
were more than offset by increases made in
the methods Of apportioning these insurance
rates, and direct testimony as to this matter was
given in this paper a few days ago in q COM
munication from Mr.. Henry A. Page, of Aber-
deem, this same testimony as to increase being
given in a communication printed in this paper
today from Mr.. Victor S. Bryant, Of Durham,
both Of these gentlemen members Of the legis-
lative insurance committee appointed to inves-
tigate and make recommendations as to fire
insurance rates.
The matter is one of the greatest Importance
to the State, and there should be general knowl-
edge OF the findings Of the committee. This COM
mittee, appointed under a joint resolution Of
the Senate and House at the extra session Of
the Legislature. filed it's report with the Gov
ernor on November %. The report is accom-
panied by bills to be submitted to the Legisla-
ture TO give effect TO the recommendations Of
the committee. The committee recommends
that power be given the Insurance Department
of the State to make fire insurance rates. This
recommendation is based upon the following
finding Of facts by the committee:
Cd The present rates are made by the South
eastern Underwriters Association.
90 There is no competition in rates.
60 The present rates are not based upon the
collaborated experience Of the insurance COM
panies.
ca The present rates are lot fixed according
10 the hazard Of the risk.
(5) Large combinations CT property inter
ests have been able to-secure low rates.
(6) Where no large combinations of property
can be made. the property owner pays a larger
rate.
(7) The increase III tenant occupied dwellings
anG the increase on all household furniture was
not made upon the tabulated experience Of the
Are companies and is not justified.
so The basis rate on insurable property is
higher IT. North Carolina than In some Of the
states similarly situated and IN States using a.
different system cf rating.
(3) The coiasuranco clause Is not equitably
applied.
