lawed system Of preferential rates for
transportation. No one now regards It
legitimate to take a rebate or pass
frank. The old methods OF favoritism
IN transportation are outlawed forever
and never will again be tolerated by
the public. A similar evolution in the
relationship Of the state to the insur-
ance business is now in progress and
beneficial results have already been
realized in some Of the states.
1.-The law will encourage the correc-
ton Of defects Of construction and the
cleaning up Of premises, securing to
the owner a credit in his rate, thereby
placing premium upon precautionary
methods in connection with the Gus
tody Of property and the conduct of
business. 1t will cause more thorough
inspection of risks and result in cut
ting down the fire waste. Lower rates
for fire insurance can only be guaran-
teed by lessening the losses.
The motives of the commissioners
who have recommended this legislation
in the several states were to place fire
insurance upon an economic basis
wherein the rate would correctly re-
fleet the loss experience construction
and occupancy hazard. 1t was expect
ed that rates might be equalized as
nearly as the degree of hazard will
permit and all policy holders treated
alike"
