Mr.. Church then said that he was
not very well informed on the SUBJ
ject of insurance and could not keep
up his part in discussion of the
merits of the different methods of
conducting the business. He hoped
| would not be harsh in my judg-
ment, for he believed his department
was doing a great deal of good, and
that If it did not succeed while it has
competitors he thinks it will be able
to succeed when we get a state
monopoly. replied that | hoped no
widows and orphans would lose; !

partment would succeed. | said l

him take my paper whether it. suited
him or not.
He said he did not think that
would be the same thing. He did not
think that would lie fair. He would
not like that himself, but he would
be glad when he could tell people
where to buy insurance. | asked him
If it were not a fact that this state
insurance department might fail and
have to quit paying losses for lack
of money to pay them. He said they
still have money in the treasury, and
our conversation ran along about like
this:
Trego: You charge practically the
same rate as the old-line COM
panies?"
Church. Yes, | believe So
You had some claims filed the
first year you were insuring people?
And If man lost his life, leaving a
widow and orphans, they are drawing
insurance money now and will con-
tinue to draw it for years?"
Yes"
Your state insurance began in
1918. and you had no back claims
piled up to pay insurance on to
widows and orphans, but as one year
follows another these claims accumu-
late and each succeeding year you
have more of those people drawing
money out of the treasury"
Yes"
After you have operated a few
years there will be so many of them
that you may have to raise the rate
of insurance to keep money in the
treasury, or if you do not raise the
rates there will be no money to pay
the new claims unless you do it by
dropping the older ones and leaving
them to shift for themselves"
well, l don't know. We have
not been operating long enough to
know about these things. We have
to wait and see.'
And if your scheme of state in
surance is a failure, either the wild
ows and orphans will have to suffer,
or you will have to raise the rates
enough to put the burden on the en-
ployers of future years or you will
have to levy tax on all the people
of the state to cover the losses of the
insurance department, or you will
have to go back and collect more
from the employers of the present
time so you can keep on paying to
those who have misfortunes in the
present years.
well, there is no way of knowing
about that. We will have to wait
and see how it turns out. This is a
comparatively new thing"
Have not other states tried out
this same thing and furnished eX-
amples of how it all ends?"
Not that | know Of
Il think the state of Indiana or
Ohio tried that experiment long ago
and in few years had to give it up
in failure. Haven't you read up on
the experience of such states, so you
know what you are bring us to-"

any other states had tried 1t out and
failed"
81 am sure 1t has been tried by
several states, and that the first ones
were in the worst condition when |
read the last reports on the subject.
The trouble is that the state cannot
compete with private enterprises.
They use the political system for get
ting their managers and employees,
who do the planning and the work,
while private enterprise trains its
people thru all the years and always
has experts instead of new hands on
the job. think that is sufficient to
make the difference between success
and failure. | don't think the state
has any right to open business and
compete with the citizen who is in
that business, and if the state can
not succeed without passing law to
compel everybody else to quit and to
patronize the state, the people ought
not to have to stand for that kind of

Chicago, May 5.-Increased selling
pressure together with lack 'of sup
port led to decided weakness today
in corn. Better weather counted as u
beal.ish factor and likewise did re-
newed notice taken Of strained finan-
cial conditions. Much Of the selling
was of a speculative character.
Opening quotations which ranged
from N cents decline to cent ad-
vance with July s1.6SA to s1.6sA
and September s1.60A to s1.61 were
followed by a material setback all
around and then rally.
Subsequently covering by shorts

The close was nervous at IL net

Oats weakened in sympathy with
corn. After opening " to IA cents
lower with July 91% to s2A cents.
the market continued to sag.
Provisions.
Provisions reflected the decline of
grain. Demand lacked volume.
Later provisions rallied when some
firmaess developed in corn.
