Ask MT. Hard
Fire Insurance Rates in Alabama As Fixed By the Trust Are Too High and Must Be Reduced.

National and reciprocal insurance compan- \ ies organized in other states and some of them licensed to operate in Alabama by the state insurance department, are writing in surance in Alabama and returning to their policyholders dividends of from 15 to 60 per cent of the premiums paid, and paying their loss claims promptly
 If these Companies can do this, the .compan- ies in the trust can greatly reduce the rates charged and still make legitimate profit. The underwriters of the state can secure a reduction in rates if they desire to do so, and arepatriotic enough to make the effort.
