ture over the repeal of the rating law
which gave the state insurance com
missioner some authority over rates
Mr.. English, who was commissioner al
the time. predicted that the repeal .ol
the law would be followed by higher
rates. while those who advocated the
repeal did so on the theory that the
rating law itself had worked foI
higher rates.
The question is not now over the
right of the insurance companies Il
higher rates in view OF war taxes and
other extraordinary demands. (, The
question is over enforcing that right
without public supervision. The rating
law gave the state commissioner the
power to act. Now nobody has power
to act and insurance ADVANCES are
made without without public supervision
In relation to rate increases to cover
the war taxes, 1t happens to be a
material part of the record that such
increases have been secure In all
states having the type Of rating Law
which Iowa abandoned. On that ques-
ton. therefore. which really was the
text of the foregoing extract, the best
that could have happened to the state
under that peculiar form of public
would be to get about

The Iowa insurance commissioner
either is OF some use to the state or
he is not, At a time when the insur-

advantage of public preoccupation is
a good time for the commissioner ia

be OF some interest TO him to know
that the Blanchard antf-compact law

TINE GENERAL BUSINESS FIELD.

There is no industry or trade OF
Importance, in fact. that is not now
dominated by the government, and it is
no longer a question of how much
civilian business is Offering. but of how
much may be consummated without
interference with the pressing federal
requirements. That these wants are oi
great and growing magnitude each
weeks reports make palmer, tho in
stances are not lacking of war orders
being curtailed or countermanded, and
ship plates are moving to some yards
in such quantities that they can not
be handled. Yet it is the exception
where outputs are so extensive as to
create any stable surplus and capacity
production is inlpracticable at many
establishments, owing to the labor
shortage. With larger numbers of men
being constantly called to the colors,
revolutionary changes are appearing in
the character of employment and wom-
en- are becoming an increasingly po-
tent factor in the nations business.
While the possibilities of renewed
Tightening of the local money situation
during the closing week of the half
year had not been disregarded, there
was actually no repetition of the 6 per
cent maximum on call loans--which
has been recorded in almost every
week this year--on any occasion. In
fact. in New York only on one day was
anything as high az per cent named
on this class of borrowing and Wednes-
day brought per cent minimum,
thus duplicating the low point reached
on last weeks easing. What also dem
onstrated the comfortable monetary
conditions at one of the most impor-
tant financial periods of the year was
the tendency toward further slight re-
was obtainable with somewhat less
difficulty and at a trifle lower cost
This statement, however. applies only
to the shorter maturities, as lenders
have continued distnclined to release
funds for the longer dates. But the
general market, all things considered
has remained in gratifying position
and rates average bat little higher now
than year ago, when federal financing
was just really beginning to become a
factor and when gold was flowing this
way from Canada in large volume.

Chicago.--While civilian consumption
of merchandise undoubtedly is being
steadily decreased-from both choice
and necessity, due to inability to OBJ
tain goods-wholesale distribution is
for ahead of last year, measured in
dollars, and retail trade holds up well.
There is little civilian business in dry
goods. activities in all departments
having been small. With the cotton
and wooden mills. government contracts
are still the main feature and produc-
ton in this direction is limited only by
the available supply of labor and fuel.
Kansas City.--Business is uniformly
good. and many houses report sales
limited only by the shortage of mer-
chandise and uncertainty regarding
future supplies.
Minneapolis. Business conditions
have not changed to any great extent
during the week. Department stores
report sales considerably ahead of cor
responding period last year, and job
bers have large order on hand for sea-
sonable summer merchandise.

The money raised in this manner
