INSURANCE LOBBY.
SEEN IN CODE ROW
Baldwin Asserts Big Interests
Fight Proposed LaW--CaIIs
Rates Too High.

Opposition Of certain big insurance
interests" to any legislation that might
affect fire insurance rates in the Dis
trict Is jeopardizing enactment by Con-
grcss of the proposed new code of in
suvance. ii was charged today by Thomas
NJ Baldwin. IT,. superintendent of in.
surance. in a letter TO Senator Edwards,
Democrat. OF New Jersey.
Mr. Baldwin's communication was in
the form OF reply to correspondence
from Senator Edwards In which he de-
clared that he was wholly unable To
understand the need for such an ex-
tension OF the code in a jurisdiction 50
small as the District OF Columbia,
Mr.. Edwards also declared that ne
had been advised that insurance rates
In the District are lower than In any
other jurisdiction in the United States
In answer 10 this statement. Mr.. Bald
win said.
In reference 10 the insurance rates
in the District of Columbia being lower
than in any other Jurisdiction in the
United States | want to say TO you
frankly that the contention is not
correct.
Not Fair Comparison.
when considering the question of
/ the lowest average rates Of any subdi-
vision In the United States. 1t is neceg-
sary to take into consideration the fact
that the District is a small, compact
body with values mainly located In the
city Of Washington alone.
In other words, you cannot compare
the District OF Columbia with State
for the reason that the territory outside
Of Washington. so far as values go, Is
almost negligible, and the only just COM
parison would be comparison Of Wash
| ington City with city Of given State
approximating 1t In size. location. width
OF streets, congested area, construction
(which. Of course, must include the
Government buildings, which are well
built. etc. So the statement that the
District enjoys the lowest average rate
is without merit unless placed on that
basis
Mr. Baldwin pointed out that the
percentage OF losses 10 premiums in
The District is the lowest in the union
From 1880 10 1924. he said, the per-
centage of losses 10 premiums was 35a
per cent. while IN Maryland 1t was Ga 2
per cent for the same period, and 500
per cent in Virginia For the five years
beginning 1920. he added, the per-
ceniage of losses 10 premiums was SO !
per cent, in Maryland 5l4 per cent and
Virginia 497 per cent.
Rates Too High.
IT Is Obvious" he added that this
/ Is the true test Of adequacy or iu-
adequacy VI rates. and not the average
premium received il comparison with
/ other States. This. IN comparison with
/ the low ratio Of the District Of $50
/ would clearly demonstrate that tht
premiums charged for the District are
much In excess Of what is reasonable >
| MFR. Baldwin explained that the
| District for 20 years has been trying tc
get workable insurance law, but every
time proposed legislation comes III
certain big insurance interestg" who
oppose 1t are represented before con.
| greeGi0naI committees by an attorney
who makes the same argument-~-thal
there is no reason for the enactment oi
a new Insurance code.
