STATE INSURANCE
. MOVEMENT GROWS
Private Firms Concerned
Over New Proposals to Be
Made In Legislatures.
BY RoLLIN M. CLARK.


Insurance interests, which for 10
years have been involved in constant
warfare with the proponents Of State
managed insurance schemes. are facing
another major battle now on the eve.
Of the converting Of ~ State Legisla- /.
lures. :
Although it Is not generally known,
government in business has gained its
greatest toe-hold to date in the field :
Of insurance. Forty States are engaged
in one or more forms of the insurance
business through so-called State In
surance funds" either to the exclusion
OF private companies or in competition
with them. In two branches of the
business the State funds write about
one-sixth of the total annual premiums.
New Proposals.
What is worrying insurance men now,
particularly in the casualty field, which
includes workmen's compensation and
automobile liability insurance, is the
fact that scores of new proposals to
put the States into these branches of
the business will be urged upon the
1881 Legislatures
Some Of these measures win endeavor-
to establish. additional monopolistic
State workmen's compensation funds
There are seven States that now have
such funds, barring private companies /.
from writing this class of business.
Ten other States have competitive
workmen's compensation funds-that Is,
they permit private companies to en-
gage In the business in competition
with themselves, writing at lower pre-
MUM rates.
Insurance men contend that in these
competitive States despite a rate diff
ferential in favor of the State, the
private companies obtain about IS per
cent Of the available business. This Is
due, they say, to the service and EN- /.
cheney Of private business as contrasted
with the red tape and political aspects
OF the State in business.
On the other hand, the proponents
OF State insurance point to the rising
cost OF workmen's compensation instr-
ance and argue that the cost element
is OF primary consideration. When the
carry insurance, they claim it should
furnish it at cost.
Demand for Protection. !.
The growing demand for some meas
ure of protection for the victims of
irresponsible automobile operators viii
undoubtedly lead to the introduction of
number of bills in Legislatures this
year for compulsory automobile liabil-
lty insurance, such as the plan now in
effect In Massachusetts,, or for COM
pulsory automobile compensation irlsur-.
ance, patterned after the workmen's /.
compensation laws, whereby injured
persons would receive payments regard
less Of liability. Going hand in hand
with such measures will be bills for the :
creation Of State funds to provide the
required insurance.
