President Wilson's note says
"The German people are
kept quiet only by assertions that
England intends the utter de-
struction Of their country. TINS

Is conveyed to the German peo-
pie the better for u chance of saw
ing civilization from an indefi-

If ibis were done, the government
would occupy a very strong posi-

The Guardian contends that Grea

to say what she has to propose.

FRIDAY, APR. 81, 1916.

Political candidates are already
beginning to come out into the
open and, as is often the case,
many of them are attempting to
get their announcements before
the public at the expense of the
printer. Some even have the
nerve to send announcement ar
ticles that would require several
hours to put into type and would
cost the printer several dollars
for labor alone and ask that this
matter be run free of expense in
order to hold down the personal
expense of the candidate. Space
is the newspaper mans stock in
trade and foolish is he who gives
it away to the ungrateful candi-
date from other parts of the state.
The Chronicle has received sew
eral of these announcements"
but they were not accompanied
by the necessary wherewithal
and were consigned to the waste
basket. With paper and every
thing else in the printing line
going skyward with leaps and
bounds because of war conditions
it costs real money to run a paper
and we certainly shall not heed
the call of these Cheap" politi-
ans. Whatever we have to give
away will be donated, as it has in
the past, to the upbuilding and
advancement of conditions in this
community in which we live. !
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1916-04-21

Why not try planting a few
trees, shrubs or flowers around
our homes each spring. If it is
our lot to live a number of years
of our lives in Cottonwood there
is no reason why we should not
do our best to improve the con-
ditions around our homes and
make life here as pleasant and
agreeable as possible. And if
this holds good in the home it is
equally true in the town and on
the farm. The better homes we
have, the better streets and roads
we can build, the better our
schools and the nicer our features
of amusement, the more we will
be able to get out of life here,
and if it becomes necessary for
US to live out our lives in this
community we will not feel that
our days have been spent where
there was nothing but toll and
hardship and but little to make
life worth living.

state enter the insurance field The
old line companies established for
many years with efficient and expe-
Tienced organizations by scientific
management have been unable to re-
duce the cost of doing business un-
der an average Of 80 cents, and |
am told on good authority that the
fire losses of this state for the past
enight years have averaged 67 cents
for every dollar premium paid which
means Il loss Of cents on every
dollar OF insurance written. In the
face OF these figures, to say nothing
Of the folly of such a huge under
taking, it is ridiculous to hear cur
politicians advocating such a meas
ure. Insurance is necessity and
since il is such ii should behoove the
insured to get with the vrey best
and strongest companies possible.
One may go without certain COM
modities if ne feels that the price
is eXtortionate and the control a
menace to the public, but fire in
surance is something which the busi-
ness man cannot do without. That
he must purchase, not because he
wishes, but because his credit is more
or less dependent upon II. There
fore, as ii is fixed charge in his
business it is far more important
that ne should get it at price based
on the same cnoditions as those Of
his competitors and that he should
secure temporary advantage; for
he will remain constantly in doubt
as TO whether his competitor after
all has not secured a far better one.
Merely because the state is the in
surer will have nothing to do with
| lessening the hazard of fire and the
possibility OF being able to conduct
such n business at a cost anywhere
near what experienced companies
making it a speciality is extremely
remote. In addition to the regular
ordinary hazard there is the extra
ordinary hazard of conflagration
which comes at unexpected times
and there a few fire insurance COM
panies in the United States which
have accumulated a special "confla-
grafton reserve" For this reason
it is easily seen that many fires like
that which occurred recently in Au-
gusta or Nashville, or even Lexing-
ton OF this state would result in i'm
pairing original capital to such an
extent that no company could remain
IN business. What we need is better
fire laws and enforcement of those
laws. In our heedlessness we pay
81 cents worth of loss in each dol.
lars worth insured as against Eng
land IL cents, Germany II cents.

Missouri year or so ago faced al
most the same conditions as we ia Ca
today and the governor of that state
in commenting upon the obnoxious
laws at the time Of modification said
that after all the loss ratio was re-

wasn't a case of highway ROBBERY
on the part of the insurance com
panies as had been supposed. Mis-
souri's laws prove dto be unscienti-
fic. We first must correct the evil.
That evil is lack OF preventive
tinue TO be exacted if we fail to
grasp the Importance of this very
grave situation. We must decide for
ourselves whether we will continue
to pay an average of S1.10 for the
security which Sweden buys for 40

ined to remain incog should be suf-
ficient evidence that I have no polit-
ical affiliations and do not aspire

STRENGTH IN UNITY
Old Motto Rules Commercial and
Political Life.
To the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
Your editorial in to-day's issue is
timely. As reader of The State
and buyer of insurance l am tired
of reading about "our proud state
must not yield her sovereignty" IT,
Smith, Brown and Jones-"the hold
ers of the bag'-such chatter is
meaningless. There is an old motto
holding that united we stand; di-
vided we fall" That is equally ap-
plicable to commercial as TO political
life. One of the features of the Ian
ey-Odom bill is to enforce competi-
ton. This bill was enacted law
without any care for the economical
effect resulting and without regard
for the increased costs. Instead of
correctin what they termed unfair
practices our lawmakers have sue
ceeded in placing the business fabric
Of this state in most perilous po-
Sition with the further possibility
that the citizens will have TO pay,
individually and collectively, a tax
to this theory of enforced competi
tion that will be staggering. If only
the popular idea that fire insurance
companies are robbers and chiefly
interested in holding up the public
for the highest possible rates could
be destroyed, il would at once be-
come evident that the interests of
the insurer and the insured to an
insurance agreement are identical.
Neither desires the disaster of fire;
both are equally anxious to prevent
il for such loss sustained is absolute
loss. But let me here ask, is it not
true that we Americans are the most
careless nation OF the world when
it comes to the prevention of fires?
1t is estimated that one-half of the
fire losses in the whole world occur
In the United States and that one
half in the world of fire insurance
is paid in the United States. The
annual ash heapBof America is ap-
palling in its size while on the con-
tinet of Europe and England the
fire loss is not more than one-tenth
Of that of this country. The reason
given for this difference is due pTin-
cipally to improved building con-
struction and to a better elfoT ce-
ment of fire laws. 1t is recalled that
a short while before two-thirds of
the city of Salem. Mass, was re-
duced to ashes, a member OF that
