its insurance rates, as they are based On
the entire United States and not on the
record made in Salem or the state of
Oregon.
Hal d. Patton said his rates had been
gradually going higher with every lm-
provement for safety that he made.
Roy R. Wise, manager Of the Cherry
City Baking company said his rates had
been gradually advancing within the
past two years, although the building
was exactly the same as two years ago
and there had been no increased fire
hazard.
c. S. Hamilton asked Commissioner
Wells if the Salem fire department was
uD to standard, such as would give the
city a low rating. Mr.. Wells didn t
know. When told THAI the fire depart
mcnt had II men, he said the depart
ment was well manned.
AS to the question whether all com
panics had the same rate for Salem,
Commissioner Wells said all were prac-
tically the same. G. S. Hamilton sug-
gested that the state Of Oregon might
90 into the insurance business for itself,
as it was shown that the state was IS
sessed high to help pay losses in other
parts Of the country. Mr., Wells replied
that state insurance was not a success

Businessmen Discuss Means
of Reducing Insurance Rate
and Increasing Protection

Why the business man should be
obliged to pay higher insurance rates
now with the efficient fire department
and the passing Of the Kerosene lamp
thG1 nc did several years ago when the
city had only hand pump fire engine,
is a little more than the average busi
ness can figure out.
At the meeting held last evening Of
the Business Men S league of the Com.
mercial club Harvey Wells, state insur-
ance commissioner, spoke on the insur-
ance problem. He said the business
men should have lower rates in Salem
and suggested that one of the quickest
ways to be assured of lower rates would
be TO install additional fire alarm boxes
and to provide the fire department with
a hook and ladder company that could
handle fires on the third and fourth
floors Of business blocks.
Dan j. Fry, who said he had been a
business man here for 80 years, couldn u
understand why, with the improved fire
department, chemical engine, new truck
and efficient fire department, insur.
anc, rates had been gradually increas-
ing, especially since Salem had had no
disastrous fires in 80 years, except the
flOuring mills.

Epidemic Nearly Wiped Out

(Capital Journal Special Service.)
Monmouth, Or, May l3-Monmouth s
third flue epidemic promises to be end
ed very soon. Dean Todd reports that
of the forty-thre eases that wero cared
for at the dormatory, only two are not
fully recovered. These are normal, how
ever, and win doubtless be out in a day
or two. All cases reported were mild
again this time as before, but seemed
peculiarly contagious. In several in
stances whole families were down with
it so it was necessary to secure out
side help. The local Red Cross provided
cooked food and other necessities -
afflicted families during this time Of
need. Professor Gentle, Mrs. Strom-
baugh, Miss Lewis and Miss Brainberg
were among the normal people who wei.
i'll. Three nurses were employed at the
dormatory but were dismissed several
days ago. From present Indications the
wave has passed rs there have been no
new cases for over a week. 1t is very
probable that all Schools win open next
Monday morning. Monmouth has not
had a single death from influenza.

and referred TO the experiences Of Wis
eonsin, where he said the state was in
debt in its insurance department.
AS to conditions in Salem, Commits
sioner Wells said: "Our inspectors s
went through the city Conditions are
bad right in the heart Of the business
district. On one floor was seen a stove
with the wood charred all around it. In
In another location in the center of the
business district was piled up rubbish,
such as could easily be lighted from a
cigarette. In another gasoline was
stored around loose. Salem has no ordi-
nance that will compel the business men
right in the heart Of the business dis
triet to keep the alleys clean. ="
1t developed that a city is inspected
by the state insurance department only
on request. That is, if Salem wants ~
know whether it is getting the right
rate and whether lax conditions prevail,
it must request the state department of
insurance for inspectors.
Mr.. Wells resented the insinuation
that he was appearing IN seAalS "a inc
insurance companies. He said he was
just stating conditions as they are and
that he was more than willing to help
the situation in Salem aud aid in get
ting lower rates. "It is not my duty to
inspect cities unless asked" declared
the commissioner.
w. II. Dancy said: "We have a good
fire department, but not enough. We
need another pumping engine. II any
thing should happen to the pump, we
would be up against it. II the Spauld-
ing mill should get on fire not fire
man could get within a block of it if
the wind was blowing strong from the
west. We need a hook and ladder truck
like Corvallis"
On motion of Mr. Dancy, Director Z.
II. Choate gppoineed a committee con
sistinc of H. W. Meyers, D. j. Fry and
W. H. Dancy to bring the matter Of
more fire equipment before the city
council. ~..srA
VIM. Gahldorf said that he knew OF
an alley in the business part Of the city
that was a regular fire trap, with ex-
eelsior, straw and paper stacked up, al
most inviting a fire.

nance be passed whereby the fire de
partment would keep one man busy in
speeting the city and requiring owners
