INSURANCE COMMITTEE
WILL SEE IF RICHMOND
PAYS LOSS OF OTHERS

Is Richmond paying for fire losses
in other cities?
Are the expenditures on the fire de-
partment bringing in adequate re-
turLsG
These are two of the questions the
fire insurance investigating commit
tee to be appointed by. Mayor Law
renee A. Handley will have to answer.
According to the best obtainable
figures Richmond is paying an IN
usually high rate per capita for her
fire department.
Figures published by the census bu-
reau at Washington for cities from
80, 900 to $4,000 show that in 1915 the
average per capita expense was only
$156 while in 1919 it was SLIT. These
figures are all for cities larger than
Richmond. and it should be borne IN
mind that the larger the city, the
larger the per capita expense OF the
fire department.
The Richmond figures, as taken
from the reports of the city comptrol-
Ter, show the following per capita ex-
penditures for the last four years:
1918, $3.50; 1919, S2.08; 1920, $2.51;
1921, $2SS.
Fire Protection Cost High
These figures show the expenditures
to be almost the highest for its size
of any city in Indiana. Statistics sent
TO the legislative reference depart
ment at Indianapolis show the follow
ing per capita expenditures: for 1870,
compared with Richmond's 1881.
Anderson. S1s8; East Chicago,
S2.22; Elkhart, 2.29; Hammond. s2-71;
Kokomo. S155; Lafayette, S1.76; Lo-
gansport S207; Michigan City, S1.58;
Muncie, S1S7, and New Albany, SIPS.
Comparatively speaking the same re-
suit is found in other years when the
expenses Of Indiana cities are consld-
cred, and to a less degree it is also
true of cities with 10000 population or
more in all parts of the United States.
1t would be fair to assume that at
least $4,000, 600 of insurance is carried
on buildings in Richmond. Allowing
for the value of stocks to be only
twice that of the buildings. insured at
the same ratio, there would be another
$20,000,000 or total of $30,000,OOO OF
fire insurance carried.
With the average rate at only $1.00,
pays Out ANNUALLY P-OOsOOO
to $500, 600 in fire insurance premiums.
Pays Fire Losses.
The report of the state insurance
department for 1921 shows that
approximately half of the premiums
collected in the state are used in pay
ing fire losses about the state. In
that case, Richmond pays out each
year from SIS, 900 to 100000 in in
surance premiums to pay for losses in
Cured in other parts of the state.
Let Richmonds average insurance
rate jump to 81 or IS and the amount
that Richmond pays for other cities
fires jumps to from 100000 te
$500 900.
1t will be the business Of the mayor
committee to determine the exact sit
uation, and find some remedy for the
high rates if they exist.

Hanna was a little disturbed over
Roosevelt's temperamental impetuous-
ness in situation calling for as much
circumspectness as this enterprise
did In any event, Hanna went to
Roosevelt one day and said: You are

we have any other kind Hanna knew
his own mind. To try, in the familiar
phrase, to listen to the grass roots
was no part of Hannas conception OF
leadership.
Went Straight to Point
He made up his mind what ought
to be done and he went straight to-
ward it. With. Hanna it was not a
question of trying to find out what
various people or groups Of people
thought. 1t was not question of try
ing to arrive at the net of various
conflicting views. 1t was not ques-
ton of any kind of compromise what
ever.
Hanna's conception of leadership
was that a leader should have the
intellectual strength and the mental
| industry to arrive at correct decisions
decisions which should be correcI
regardless of whether or not they
were popular. Hanna thought that
the simple duty of leader was to
provide the public with guidance and
with correct courses of action.
However, to dilate further upon
these letters, or upon the contrast
they provide with the lack of leader
ship in both political parties today
would be futile. The letters tell the
whole story of the sort of political
leadership we had in 1900 The kind
we have-or rather the kind we lack
today, is familiar knowledge.
Beverage Meant.
(Parenthetically, if anyone is inter
ested to supply the word that Kohlsaat
; left blank in this letter, the name is
! Beveridge. Hanna hated Beveridge
with the instructive hate that the lead
| er of the herd has for any youngel
aspirant who threatens the security d
his power. And when Hanna hated
man he wasn't particular about th'
words he used to describe him-an1
brick would do. Beveridge at tina
time twenty-five years ago, as {
young man in the thirties, was new
in the Senate, and was aggressive t
a degree that Hanna didn't think new
senators ought to be. Beveridge, II

a few years later played into Roose

and Roosevelt came into the White
House
Thereafter, for a brief time, it was
a question whether Hanna in the Sen
ate would continue the dominance
over the Republican party which he
had had during Mckinley regime or
whether Roosevelt would elbow him
out. The question did not long re-
main an open one.
The outcome we all know now.
But Roosevelt, although himself a
wholly diff type of leader, never
theless reco, zed and admired leader
ship in any FORM. Some years after
Roosevelt had displaced Hanna in the
leadership of the Republican party,
and after Hannas death Roosevelt
said of Hanna. and of the whole cpl
! sode, the following words, which are
| of equal credit both to Roosevelt and
| to Hanna:
Senator Hanna had in him the
quality that enabled him to meet d
serious crisis with dignity with power,
and with disinterested desire to work
/ for the common good. Within a few
days of my accession he called Oh me,
and with entire friendliness and OBJ
vious sincerity, but also with entire
self-respect, explained that he mourn
ed Mckinley as probably no other
man did; that he had NOT been espe-
cially my friend, but that he wished
/ me to understand that tnenceforward,
on every question where he could con-
| scientiously support me, I could count
upon his giving me as loyal aid as it
/ was in his power to render He added
1 T6ot ~ L. !
committing him to favor me for NOM
| ination and election, because that
matter must be left to take care of
itself as events should decide; but
! that aside from this what he said
was to be taken literally; in other
words, he would do his best to make
my administration a success by sup
| porting me heartily on every point on
which he conscientiously could, and
| that this | could count upon He kept
his word absolutely. He never be-
came especially favorable to my nom
ination; and most of his close friends
became bitterly opposed to me and
used every effort to persuade him to
! try to bring about ny downfall Most
men in his position would have been
! tempted TO try to make capital at my
/ expense by antagonizing me and dis
crediting me so as to make my poll
cies fail, just for the sake of making
them fail. Senator Hanna, on the
contrary, did everything possible to
make them succeed. He kept his
word in the letter and the spirit, and
on every point on which he felt con-
scientiously able to support me he
gave me the heartiest and most ef-
fective support, and did all in his
power to make my administration a
success; and this with no hope of any

of leadership in the Republican party,
and of its past leadership, and of the
relation of Hanna and Roosevelt TO
each other, may be closed appropri-
ately with an account of an incident
which illustrates the relations of the
two men, and had the additional in
terest of containing an element of hui
NOR. Let me tell the story first in
the words in which Roosevelt wrote
it in his autobiography, at a time
when, for reasons of delicacy, he
omitted the names of the characters
and much else that makes the Incl
dent in its literal form racy and en-
pertaining. AS written by Roosevelt
in his autobiography the incident
read thus:
There we're many other men of
mark in both houses with whom l
could work on some points. whereas
on others we had to differ. There
was one powerful leader burly
forceful man, of admirable traits -
who had, however, been trained in
the post-bellum school of business and
politics, so that his attitude towards
life, quite unconsciously, reminded me
a little of Artemus Wards view OF the
Tower of London-'If like it, I'll buy
it There was a big governmental
job in which this leader was much
interested, and in reference to which
he always wished me TO consult a man
whom he trusted. whom l will call
Pitt Rodney One day I answered
him, The trouble with Rodney is that
he misestimates his relations to
cosmos. to which he responded, Cos
mos-Cosmas? Never heard of him.
You stick to Rodney, He's your
man! I"
Now, in order to get a more COM
p1ete account of that incident make
the following substitutions:
"A big governmental job" is the
Panama Canal
"one powerful leader" is Mark
Hanna
Actual Story
There is one other substitution
which ought to be made in order TO
complete the literal version of the
story. But Pitt Rodney is still alive.
Anyhow his name would mean little
/ to The general public. He was one OF
the lawyers for the previous owners
of the Panama canal, and he was more
! familiar than anyone else with all the
/ Panamians and all the circumstances
J involved.
! With these expurgations supplied
and other essential expansions, the
actual story would read about as fol
! lows:
| At the time Roosevelt was taking
over the Panama canal. Hanna was
