REFUSE TO APPROVE RATES.
Insurance Department Holds Hail Risk
Is Same the State Over.
Special to Times-Republican.


Des iMoines, April 13.-Hail insurance
companies are protesting a ruling just
made by the state insurance depart
ment in which the department refuses
to approve rates which fix 4 per cent
rate in a number Of the northwestern
Iowa counties and a 3 per- cent in
other counties. The insurance men say
that the risk from hail is greater in
these per cent -. mites as there IS
more hail in those counties than in the
other counties Of the state.
; The ruling by the department Is as
follows: .tThe insurance department OF
Iowa has disapproved the hail insur-
stnce rates filed by the Iowa rating
bureau on. account Of disc rininatto
Shown between The \. counties of the
state. The filing made&by' the bureau
fixed d per ccHtSe-ate for the follow
ing counties: Buena Vista, Cherokee,
Clay, Dickinson, Emmett, Ida, Lyon,
OBrien, Osceola, Palo Alto, Pocahontas.
Sac, Sioux, Plymouth and Woodbury..
The rate fixed for the remainder OF
the state was 3 per cent. = H.
y fInasmuch as the charge fixed In
the rate was held by the department
20 discriminate unfairly. between risks
or essentially the same hazard and
having substantially, the. same. degree
Of protection it was held by the insur-
-ance commissioner that such filing
would be in violation Of the law" -

PECULIAR LAW POINT PUT UP TO
IOWA SUPREME COURT FROM
CLARKE COUNTY. ...H.
STATUS OF UNINcoRPoRArED
CHURCH Is IN QUESTION
Dispute Starts Over Strip of Land Used
by Church People as Roadway-Dis-
triet Court Declares Religious Soei-
cites Have Legal Rights and opposi-
tion Acknowledgements Filed.

Des Moines, April 13.-Has an I'M
incorporated church no right to go into
the courts of the state to defend its
interests?
This question will be determined
in the case of the Presbyterian church
of Osceola, Clarke county, by E. G.
Banta, ct al, VS.. w. D. and c. r.
Harken, appellants. Attorneys for
Harken claim that courts have ruled
that steamboat can not bring a suit
in court, and that an unincorporated
church is in the same fix.
The Presbyterian church society
erected new church on property pur-
chased in Osceola. A strip of ground
ten feet in width which had been dedi-
Gated as driveway, led to the rear
of the church property. The church
people insisted on using it, and the
Harkens owning adjoining land, OBJ
tected. The case was taken into the
district court where the church society
won.
In arguments filed in the supreme
court, the attorneys for Harken claim
that the church is not entitled to
maintain suit in court for the reason
it is not person, corporation or CO.
partnership and has no standing in
court. They assert that IAN action
must be brought in the name of a
real party in interest; that none but
a natural or artificial person can be-
come a party to suit; that a steam
boat can not bring suit; that an un-
incorporated society can not sue and
it's members can not sue for it."
The attorneys for the church society
reply by saying that the appellant
bases the argument on the code of
1851 and that the code of 1897 gives
unincorporated societies power to go
into court to protect their rights.
They say that the new law gives the
trustee of a church society power to
