PLANS TO CURB
CERTAIN AGENTS
Insurance Commissioner o. Iowa Says
Doycottlng Of Companies FL
inp Low Rates, Prohibited

Emory a. English, insurance COM
missioner of Iowa, believes that there
IL conspiracy among agents hand
ling automobile fire insurance to
eliminate competition IN rates offered
under the new insurance law, and to
regulate rates through the means OF
a boycotting of companies htng low
rates The commissioners says boy
cotting will subject those SO engaged
to the drastic penalties provided IN
the law
Mr.. English has given out writ
ten statement bearing on the sub
feet matter, which is as follows:
'In an effort to discourage the re-
duction of rates, and Notwithstanding
the Blanchard law, prohimitins any
agreements between insurance com
panies, is still in force, some OF the
agents of the above companies arc
said to be not quoting the lower rates
fled, but are placing the business In
the conference companies at the
higher rate and Withholding the bust
ness from the lower rate companies.
Recent filings with the state in
surance department Of auto fire 1nsur-
ance rates indicate the intention OF
q number of stock companies TO make
rates down to the level OF cost to
members of mutual associations.
"A large number Of the stock COM
panies are said to be members OF
what is known as the western con-
ference, and such companies have
contented themselves with fling the
bureau rates.
some other companies among them
being the Springfield Fire & Marine,
Niagara, Standard. Boston, Old COL
ony, Scottish Union and National,
and Equity Mutual Fire Insurance
associations Of Iowa have filed lower
rates.
IF there is concerted action upon
the part Of agents to eliminate the
competition afforded under the law.
and thereby regulate rates through
means of a boycotting of companies
filing low rates, the action IS a plain
violation of the law and will subject
those SO engaged in the drastic pen
alties provided"

derstanding of its magnitude.
Every Nickel,
Six hundred thousand dollars Is q
tidy sum to dump into any community
each year. It probably would not stag
ger a Rockefeller or Carnegie to any
appreciable extent, although we have
been reliably informed they watch a
nickel as sharply as anybody else, but
to the rest Of us It Is no mean sum.
But that is only the beginning. We
are accustomed to look on the pop
corn merchant with good natured toll
erance IL not with contempt, but he
lis one OF the wheels of q mighty ma
chine in the world Of business. A
nickel business is not to be despised
II the nickel is kept In action. as It
most certainly Is in the pop corn trade.
Popping the corn adds 20 times to
its bulk Six hundred thousand bush
els would make a pretty big pile. Null
tiply It by popping and the heap would
total 100000 bushels. which at the
rate OF a quart to the bag as ordinar-
tly sold on the street corners, would
mean 3s4.ro0,00o bags and at nickel
each, the prevailing figure the country
over, totals the magnificent sum OF
81 100000. which safely represents
the amount Of business done IN this
line growing out Of the annual output
of pop corn from Sac and Ida coun-
ties. OF course, the entire crop is not
retaIled at nickel sack fresh but
tered and salted;' much Of it goes in
to fancy CONNECTIONS of one sort and
another, but that only adds to the vol
ume of business in the aggregate.
