Local Road Improvement

Good roads not only cheaper the
cost Of transporting farm produce
to market, but make the country a
desirable place TO live in.
We hear much talk about federal
aid for good roads, yet If We wait
for this movement TO crystalize into
reality the people of the country
will be riding in mud for some time
to come. The thing to do is to
take of coats and buckle into a plan
for local road Improvement, as IS
contemplated IN this county now
and we hope the movement will re-
suit IN good highways from the
east to the west end and from the

WILL RAISE RATES.
Local Insurance Men Say New Law
Will Affect This City.

Altho they have no Official 1nlorma-
ton on the subject, and do not expect
schedule of the new rates for pos
sibly six months, local insurance men
say that the new law that went into
effect July 4, establishing uniform
basis of rates for different classif1ca-
tons. will affect materially rates now
existing in this city.
"Marshalltown is noted in state in
surance circles for its wide variance OF
rates satd ore insurance man
Agents have written insurance at RI
diculously low rates he added in
order to get the business, and the re-
suit is that many people now CARVING
insurance will, under the new law,
have to pay more to have their risks
carried. In some cases believe the
rates will be lowered. but IN any event
all risks will be equalized. and one man
will not pay more FOR his risk than
does his neighbor who buys insurance
of a similar class
The new law provides uniformity
of rates in different localities. and these
rates. when established. must be lived
up 10 by the agents writing the in
surance. and by the companies them
selves. There is penalty for the
agents who disobey the law and the
insurance companies are liable to for
feiture of their charters to do business
in Iowa should they violate the law.
insurance men cite several institu-
tons in the city that have been writ
ten at rates far below what they
Should be compared to risks that are
taken on other properties where per-
haps the hazards are no greater. Ac-
cordng 70 the insurance men the
premiums in Marshalitown do not yield
over 800 600 annually to the insurance
companies. The moral hazard here.
however. has always been of high
standard, and this and the fact that
the city maintains a good fire depart
Inent have tended to cause the insur
ance companies TO accept insurance in
many instances at less than the pub
lished rates This is in marked con-
trast with Sioux City, one agent said,
where there have been so many fires
and heavy losses within recent years
that many companies have already
withdrawn from the fad and refuse to
write insurance there at anys price.
Until the new schedule OF rates has
been issued for Marshalltown, local
agents are writing insurance at prem
iunls that are subject either to the in
crease or decrease caused by the new
schedule, a S the case may be.
