NEW INSURANCE
RATES EFFECTIVE
National of Hartford Makes
Substantial Reductions.

Much unrest has been felt over the
State since the rates for automobile
theft and fire insurance were estab-
lished by stock companies effective
June / of this year because owners
felt the rate was too high. This rate
was determined from the average loss
ratios for all such companies.
After careful examination of their
individual rate of losses the National
Fire Insurance Company of Hartford,
Conn. found that they could con
sistently and within the confines OF
legitimate stock company insurance
give a lower rate. They filed these
findings with the insurance commits
sion of Indiana asking permission to
reduce its auto theft rates, and this
deviation was granted, to he effective
Dec. 8.
As far as can be ascertained no
other stock company has asked for
or received such deviation agreement
so at present this insurance can be
obtained at this reduced rate only
from the Theodore Stein, Jr. Insur-
ance Company, 240 Consolidated Bldg.
agents. This company has the old
est existing insurance Office in the
city.
The rates on Fords as fixed by the
June agreement were s6.S5 while the
new rate is but $3.50. An additional
reduction also may be had IL lock-
ing device approved by the Under
writer's Laboratories is attached to
the car. There is also reduction of
rs per cent If the insurance is made
out so as not to cover the accessories.
The National of Hartford" ac-
cording to the local department man
ager, Mr.. Edward Donaldson, of the
Theodore Stein. Jr, Insurance Agency,
is a 62.year-old stock company with
10000 600 assets and $s,S5o,064 sur
plus with loss paying record second
to none.

In signed pamphlet Higbee makes these assertions:
"Msmanagement of the Port OF Seattes business has

and they only been saved recevershp by the
commissions power to gouge the taxpayers"
That of any informed citizen knows, is plain
fasehood The ports business has not been msmanaged
The port has been in bad business condition The
taxpayers have been gouged At present they

Then Hgbee adds "Creosoted ping has average
life of ten years. Two of the port district terminal docks
must have piling Immediately; during the next few
years 1000 must be spent for renewals. No
where the port commissions reports it shown that
any intelligent effort has been made to prevent these
docks from falling down when old age claims the de-
