Fire and Dishonesty Prevention

Fire insurance companies have been chiefly be-
hind the against fire prevention which is
spreading all over the country and has resulted in
measurable reduction Of losses by fire. This has
been accomplished by improved building methods by
more stringent regulations and by the education of
the people. The interest of the fire insurance
panes been of course properly selfish one but
in serving themselves. they have served the public.
Now the surety companies have taken leaf from the
fire insurance companieys book and have started
movement for the promotion Of honesty FOR dishon-
esty to the surety companies what fire has
been to the fire insurance companies.
There Is another similarity OF the movements.
The first was provoked by great conflagratons,
which swept away millions in few hours. Perhaps
the common run of fires would not have suggested
to the fire insurance companies any pressing need
for additional precautions against fires 1t the
common run of fires which the insurance companies
expected and the losses in which they expected to
pay.
So it was not the common run OF instances Of
dishonesty which has aroused the surety companies,
for they expected to make good the thefts about
a certain proportion of the persons whose honesty
they guaranteed 1t was the "crime wave" which
awakened Mem to the need of prevention of dis
haaes*y
They now propose to begin in the schools and
revive interest in and restore meaning to that old
copybook maxim: Honesty is the best policy
Formerly it was considered only in relation to
its benefits to him who practiced honesty. But
now the surety companies desire to enroll them
selves among its beneficares-
The companies find that prisons are not suffi-
cient to meet the crime They believe the
schools will prevent or lessen it.

steadily in the thirteen years since the organization

the people of the states of these regions giving
promise of an earlier through route by this enlist

TARIFF BILL
81 suppose you've studied the new

DUNN to Representative Dummer
1t has been reported to the senate
and should reduce the high cost OF
living very materially"
i've just looked over the schedule
in the newspaper. and it leaves nc

of eating cheaply and regularly is
completely solved. Shingles. barbed
wire, ylang yland oil. chickpea seeds

on the free list. and such necessities

lengthwise or from left to right. 1t

"Interesting!" exclaimed Repre-
sentative Dummer, Il suppose you
think it would cheer up the peepul
enormously If arrangements could be
made to broadcast the tariff schedule
by radio Immediately following the

People are more interested in the
tariff than you think, insisted

replied Dummer.
How so?" asked DUNN.
THE schedule calls for a duty of 80
per cent on bathbricks as against 10
per cent at present. duty Of so per
cent on perfumed soaps as against
80 per cent, and, if / amt mistaken,
it calls for higher duty on Turkish

"Ham and eggs should be made

it should be discouraged. Why don't
you be fair and cite the cases where
