State Insurance Is
Planned for Iowa

movement that favors the state fund
plan for meeting fatality ana accident
claims. Private insurance companies, as
can be expected, are opposing this the

idea Commissioner Garst said:
in my Judgment the amount charged
to the employer under existing manuals
has been and is grossly excessive, it
having cost the employer from 90 to loo
per cent more than it should at FAIR
rate, At the same time, the eompensa-
