The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1921-02-27

There are two kinds of competition
that make it impossible for any COM
pAAy, or class Of carriers, to acquire
! monopoly Of the business of fire
Insurance.
I know that many people have the
impression, and we frequently hear it
remarked, that There is no such
thing as competition in fire insurance"
but this impression is due, at least in
part, to the fact that because carriers
Of the same class maintain a uniform
rate for like classifications and rat
ings, and do not cut and slash the
premium charge directly without re-
spect to the classification and
without respect to improving the
rating of the risk, the conclusion is
reached at once that there is, there
fere, no competition.
This is a case Of correct premise
with false conclusion. People are
looking for the same kind of compe-
tion that would take place between
two merchants, where one, offering to
sella barrel Of flour for sl2, is met by
q competitor who directly cuts the
price to $l1.50; and when the compe-
tition does not come in the way it is
expected to come, they conclude that
there Is; therefore, no competition.
Csm petition Between Different
T Glasses Of Carriers.
Id order to point out the competition
between the different classes of car
ritrs 1t becomes necessary for me
briefly to call attention to the several
clpsses effecting fire insurance under
the. insurance laws of the different
states. do this, not for the purpose
Of comparison between the different
classes as to their relative merits, bu
for the single purpose Of showing il
1 practical way, if possible, that if /

class of carriers offers he has tn

Paper Once Royal GIFT.

There was time when only the no
bility, the great personages of history,
could enjoy the use of paper, and then
In only the most meager quantities.
Only $500 years ago Emperor Trajan
Of Rome was the delighted recipient of
a munificent gift consisting of 20 reams
of paper from the emperor OF China.
In that age and Time 20 reams of the
precious fabric was considered a royal
gift indeed, and only potentate with
the vast resources of China at his dis
posal could afford to give a present of
such value.
One can imagine the elatIon enjoyed
by Trajan upon receiving so great a
quantity Of paper, and thus know that
through such generosity he was to aug
ment the number of volumes contained
In his library.

CONSOLATION FOR THE FAT
Surety Company Gives Stout Denial to

Fat men need no longer 20 hungry

post Of duty may be hard on the
nerves Of the household, but they
bring Joy to bank auditors. Fat men
and loud swearers pay their bills
much more promptly than lean and
cl0se-iipped men, and run away much
less frequently with the employers
bank roll. For this we have the au-
thority OF the chief expert Of a surety
company Of New York.
1t is good to have the statlsticians
give final Judgment on a point which
the literary students Of human nature
have left In doubt. II Tartuffe was un-
derfed, Chadband exuded hypocrisy

Heep had the siimness demanded by
clothes styles with a difference, Peck
sniff filed out his raiment admirably.
Falstaff. on the whole, would have
made a poor risk for the post Of bank
teller, though II is highly possible that
his pilferings would have been con-
fined to comparatively small sums,
enough to pay for the days sack and
venison.
One doubt occurs. II the fat mans
-ectitude is due to contentment with

'hances Of getting fat man to swear?
This is perhaps the reason why 100 per

THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF
THE LUTHER LEAGUE

Of which Sister Carrie Click is President,
was celebrated on Wednesday night at
the Lutheran Parsonage by the members
who on the same occasion entertained
the late confirmants. The first on the
programme was a selection by a band
which was an improptu assemblage OF a
few e~x-service men of the u. S. Navy
and two old members of the Church
Band Then followed a short welcome
and commentator by the presiding pas
tor Rev. Critchlow, who also at that time
introduced the Rev. j. P. Christensen of
the St. Thomas congregation, this gen
tleman then opening with the prayer for
the evening. Games came next which
was interspersed by a song from Rev.
Critchlow, my Last Cigar" which was
heartily cheered. Refreshments of cakes,
creams, sodas, and peanuts were served
while the band entertained with their
selections, until 1890 when it was
thought that the children ought to dis
perse; which took place after the bene-
dictior and after each had expressed by
word or action his satisfaction for the
hours spent. Much is due to Sister Carrie
for the upkeep and management of this
League. She also showed great tastiness
by her beautiful decoration of the League
