Gently congratulated organized labor
upon the fact that since the arms

workers is less than five per cent
Few men have had longer, more

his common sense, administrative alb
ilty, and vision, organized labor has
grown and prospered. He has made
few mistakes, and always recovered
from those.
But Mr.. Gompers is not perfect; nc
human being is, And when he exult'
officially at the fact that organized
labor has succeeded in holding OF
the day of complete return to normal

J. A. Davenport Jr., Declares
Co-Insuance Clause Legal
And Proper

Editor Times-Recorder: In con-
ncction with the recent articles pub
.shcd in this paper regarding insur-
ance rates ard insurance in general
in Americus, | am taking the liberty
to try to properly inform the public
as to the existing conditions.
The 1870 co-insurancc clause dis
cussed in yesterdays paper is legal
aud is applicable in first, second and
third class towns, and is illegal only
in fourth class towns such as Ander-
sonville, Ga. Andersohville has no
PAVED streets, paid fire department,
police force and other requirements
tending to raise their grading from
an insurance standpoint, and there
fore the 1870 co-insurance clause Is
inapplicablc rather than illegal.
Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, Sa-
vannah, Albany, Americus, and all
towns of this rating are required to
comply with the 75M co-insurance
clause, The 75a6 reinsurance
clause is to protect the companies
from small losses in large stocks of
merchandise. If said clause was not
attached to policies, merchants would
insure their stocks for about two
thousand dollars and thereby afford
ing covcrage for their entire stock,
and in case of fire the companies
would be liable for full amount Of
policy and the amount of covcrage
would possibly be about 1919.
The insurance companies are not
discriminating against Americus and
the rates in Americus are as lo"
as any place in the state, in COM
parison with the size and grading.
1t would surprise lot of people
to know that the insurance companies
are heartily in favor of low rates and
want every step taken to acquire
them, When a man builds build
ing, as soon as the first nail is
struck he is given basis rate and
thenceforth he makes his own rate
by building contrary to specifications.
Insurance is everybody's friend
and is the cheapest thing in the
world, so why attack insurance com
papies who are most lcnient adjust
crs i'll case of fires? Ask the man
who has had loss. Lets attack
gasoline or taxes again. or income
tax, railroad fare or freight rates.

sue has been seriously undertaken by
the Amcrieus Rotary club for the pur-
pose of having every man informed
thoroughly on the subject before the
matter becomes really active, the idea
being that if it is really as important
for the advancement Of the state as
it is believed, every man shall get be-
hind it and help put it over, because
lit is recognized it will need the great

Iterday's luncheon saW the launching
of the study Of the subject, half of
the hours session being set aside by
special order for consideration of it.
AT this opening discussion, w. C.
Caye, Jr,, division highway engineer,
who is member Of the club, talked
for twenty minutes, outlining the
facts and details as a matter of in
formation and basis OF discussion. His
remarks were to have been followed
by talk by W. w. Dykes, county
attorney, but because of the expira-
ton of the time Mr.. Dykes talk was
postponed.
Present by special invitation of
the club was A E. Hines, of Ameri-
Gus, who is a member of the state
Legislature, before which body the
proposal will come first. G. w.
Riley, the other member of the house
from this county, also was present,
he being a member of the club.

said:

that will allow you to create a dis,
cuasion at the end of my talk by
which great deal more information
can be had for each member of the
Rotary club.
"To begin with, will outline to
you in brief manner the starting
point Of the recent good roads pro-
gram IN Georgia. You will recall
that in April, 1916, the federal gov
Iernment through its congress appro-
priated $100,000,000 year for five
years as federal aid in the construc-

states Of the United States. Georgia

was the outcome Of this federal aid
act, the time for this program hav-
ing expired in July, 1921.
