TAX DODGING
ENCOURAGED

1t is unfortunate that In order to
pass what is often a meritorious
piece of legislation. an entirely I'M
fair and unnecessary clause will be
inserted, which is a direct handicap
to existing business. The federal
farm loan act offers a perfect illus
tration of such legislation.
The theory of the act was good
namely to furnish encouragement and
assistance for farm development. But
the bonds sold under the act to sup
ply the money for loaning were made
entirely tax exempt No kind of
taxes whatever can be charged the
owner of the bonds. This feature OF
the act should be remedied, as it is
unfair to all other lines of industry
which must compete in the open mar
ket for money, and whose securities
are subject to every known form of
taxation.
If federal farm loan bonds were

COMBINATION
REDUCES EXPENSE

For the purpose of establishing safe
and uniform fire insurance rates, in
surance companies many years ago
decided that by cooperation various
companies could maintain a single
rating bureau which would survey
property and establish rates, at a
great deal less expense per company
than would be the case If each COM
pany were compelled to maintain
separate rating organizations.
Fire rating as it exists today is the
result of a long evolution, in which
reasoning has had to contend with
selfish disturbing influences from the
beginning. 1t has increased in COM
plexity, until today it is understood
by underwriters generally.
After an exhaustive investigation
the Illinois Fire Insurance Commits
sion says:
THE work of constructing basic
schedules, instead of being performed
by secret conclaves of underwriters
themselves under star chamber meth
Ouo, dS tuc puDliC Dtel leu W Dt-
lieve, appears from our testimony to
have passed out of their hands al
most entirely into the hands of well
trained experts. The testimony shows
that the fire companies have little or
nothing to do with the construction of
schedules. The schedule maker in
fire insurance today occupies a posi-
ton analogous to that of the aetuary
in life insurance. He is expected to
deal with the fire hazards by analysis
and classifications of its elementary
parts"
If insurance companies as individ-
ual organizations were each required
to maintain separate rating bureaus
to handle the complex problems of
the business today, the cost of insur-
ance would be greatly increased and
1t is for this reason that every inves-
tigation of insurance combinations
for rate making purposes has found
that rating bureaus are benefit in
