Ripping Rhymes
The LAW
BY Walt Mason

l don't indorse that traffic law
which holds me down to thirty miles:
it makes my spirit sore and raw, and
from my map removes the smiles.
I'd like to send my old tin bus like
streaks of lightning through the
town, but Law is sacred to the cuss
who would enjoy a fair renown. And
so / drive my creaking van within
the limit Law prescribes, though l
am dubbed an also-ran by all the
whizzing speedster tribes. My face
is always sad and dour when to the
road my bus l take; I'd hit up ninety
miles an hour, but thirty versts is all
/ make. For if we break through
any law because we do not like the
same, from virtues path we then
withdraw, and play an ararchistic
game. The law prohibits stealing
hens, and though this fills my soul
with woe. no longer to my neighbors'
pens do l with sacks at midnight go.
The law proscribes the Demon Rum,
and though my thirst is truly great
make no bootleg guy my chum, but
seek the hydrant near my gate. Lei
us obey the law, my friends. in all
its curves and hooks and crooks; and
if at last our patience ends, it's ours
to wipe it off the hooks.

Insurance Rates in Richmond

The corporate city of Richmond owners of
business houses and factories, and the utilities
have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars
since 1917 for adequate fire protection.
Back of these expenditures has been one mo-
tive-the protection of property against the fire
hazard.
Many of the measures providing better fire
protection were instigated by theIndiana rating
bureau on the assurance of its representatives
that their installation would reduce fire insur-
ance rates.
Citizens not only made these expenditures
gladly, but they also engaged periodically in
cleanup campaigns to rid the city Of waste paper
and litter, which are regarded as potential fire
hazards.
The city has taken pardonabe pride in its
fire department, supplied it with modern equip
ment, established new fire department stations
and ordered platoon system-all with the idea
of maintaining this highly essential department
of the citys activity at the highest point of per
lection.
Today the fire department is one of the most
expensive parts of the municipal administration
No one begrudges money spent in the depart
ment, because the protection of property from
fire is vital one. Curtailment of expenses in
the department also is not sought.
Richmond is substantially built city. The
number of brick houses is far in excess of a
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-08-05

city of this size. Many business houses and fac
tories have installed sprinking systems, which
Immediately safeguard not only the property in
which they are installed, but provide also de-
gree of safety for other buildings nearby.
Despite all these factors, the rating bureau
constantly has been asking for the adoption of
further means of reducing the fire hazard.
Citizens naturally have the right to wonder
why insurance rates have not decreased after the
installation of all this fire fighting equipment
and the presence of other factors that make for
reduced fire hazards.
The citizens have paid for these improve
ments either in the form of taxes to buy new
equipment for the fire department and to main
tain it, or in the increased rates which the water
works company and the telephone company are
forced to charge by reason of improvements
which they had to make in their utilities to meet
the requirements of the rating bureau.
The small property owner has not benefited
one. cent in the form of reduced fire insurance
rates, although his taxes have been increased to
meet the changes ordered by the rating bureau
In the business districts the reduction has
been so nominal that it amounts to little IN COM
parison with the added expenses which show
themselves in the tax rate.
Mayor Handley has been studying this prob
lem. The heavy expense OF the ire department
as compared with other municipal departments
as well as the high cost of fire insurance induced
him to.analyze the situation to see if citizens are
paying entirely too high rates in proportion tc
the protective measures of many kinds which
have been adopted at the suggestion of the IN
derwriters.
He is performing a valuable public service II
asking for the facts in the case and in accumu
Iating data which will show exactly what rela
ton fire prevention measures of high kind have
TO the rates which the insurance companies are
charging.
