INSURANCE LAWS ALL RIGHT

Mr. w A. Williams representative OF big insurance

occasion crtcSe rather severely the laws OF oregon
regarding insurance, which the same in q of the

directly it is for it allows the person who has oyerSated
the value of his building collect than the building
is really worth and therefore temps him to wish his
place would burn However the law not altogether to
blame Tor this for it is the insurance companys business
not to insure building for more than it is worth II 1t
does should pay the loss since II collects the premium
on the full value stated.
The modern insurance policy is long and so verbose
so wound round and bound up in legal terms and lnsur
ance phrases made apparently for the sole purpose OF be-
ing unintelligble that few if any taking out insurance
either understand the terms of the policy or try to- They
simply look for what they think is sound company and
sign up any old paper handed them without understand
ing anything about it. Without the law as the Il states
have it. an insurance company insure building worth
81 900 for say $4,000 and when the building burns can
90 into the courts if necessary and showing the actual
value of the building and the amount Of the loss pay
that loss and settle its debt in full 1t can collect the
amount required to cover all risk $4,000 building
while it has never risked more than the $1,000 loss.
1t is the companys business and its duty not TO insure
building for more than is WORTH and if it does and
collects the premium for the larger risk should pay the
sum for which it collects the premium To put it mildly
il is at least guilty of conributory negligence IN such
