WHO PAYS THE FIRE BILL?

Fire means destruction and waste
always and often death and injury
yet the general public heed it not.
WAS the property insured? is the
public's stereotype question. This
clearly implies the fallacy, that fire
in insured property is not a waste,
and that insurance companies pay for
the loss.
Insurance is the basis of credit, and
credit the basis of business so insur-
ance is business necessity; but it
has led to public Indifference con-
corning the alarming annual fire
waste, and this because the public
does not fully understand the insur-
ance business.
Insurance companies are not al
chemists making gold out of base
metals, nor philanthropist paying
losses out of private funds. Annually
they collect from the public millions
in insurance premiums. This money
must pay for three things; the ex-
penses of conducting the insurance
business, dividends on the stock in
vested in the business, and all the fire
losses.
These business expenses and divi-
one-half Of the premium income, leav-
ing fifty cents of every dollar collect
ed from the people for settlement of
adjusted fire losses. The people get
back about one-half of what they pay
out in premiums.
The size of the insurance rate or
premiums depends on the amount of
fire losses which must be paid, and
,rnI duo
a result of a reduction of the fire
waste.
Fire lays other burdens upon the
public also. The ultimate consumer
pays the insurance outlay of the deal
ers in raw materials, the manufactur-
er, the jobber, the wholesaler, and the
retailer, when he buys any garment
food, piece of furniture, machine or
anything else; so large fire losses
mean high insurance rates and higher
costs of everything.
Again, the public pays for the most
expensive waterworks systems and
the best equipped and manned fire de-
partments in the world. With enor-
nous fire losses this protective arm
cannot be neglected or weakened, but
must be built up, improved and main
tanned at whatever cost to the public
We will not put a money value on
the rs to 100 lives lost in fires each
year, in Wisconsin, nor on the larger
number of burns and injuries, but
some one pays for these too.
The arsonist plies his contemplate
trade, Indifferent alike to loss of life
and property, and the careless mortal
will go on piling up fire losses, and
the people complacently pay for the
nefarious work of both These two
are responsible for more than 20 per
cent of the fire waste of the state.
Carefulness means fewer fires and
this means lower premiums.
