The rural districts in Kansas,
not the cities, are taking out in
creased insurance this year. ac-
cording to the fee receipts, based
on the percentage of business
written, in the state department
of insurance. For while the
state collections on insurance
written on city property fell off
several thousand dollars, the to-
tai amount paid the state depart
ment is $4,000 more than at this
time a year ago. The receipts
the first five months of last year
amounted to S400.190.25. The
first five months of this year the
fees collected by the department
amount to $416, 010. 70.--the in
crease alone more than paying
the cost of running the depart
ment for the entire year. The
receipts for the entire year of
