vigilant property owners would
do well to keep, a careful eye on the
rising tendency of construction
costs, II they want to avoid serious
loss. AS Frederick P. Walther, Chief
Engineer of the Continental Fire In
surance Company, has pointed out,
Insurance based on valuations as
recent as January, 1886, would be
inadequate to cover losses at present
values"
During the years of declining
costs and values, thrifty property
owners periodically reduced insur-
ance coverage to compensate. Now
that the cost trend has reversed it.
self. they should reappraise their
property and, whenever necessary,
increase coverage. Under-insurance
can be far. more costly In the long
run than over-iRsurance.
To quote Mr.. Walther again,
Since January, 1886, construction
cost increases have been greatest in
the Eastern section Of the country.
ranging from per cent for fire-re-
sistive types of building to IL per
cent for frame joist construction.
"Since January. 1888, however. the
Western part of the country regis
tered some of the greatest increases,
brick types rising "a per cent in
cost. frame joist 80 per cent and
ire-resfstive construction 81 per
cent"
Here is a timely warning. that
should be needed without delay. As
the old adage says, it is useless to
lock the stable door after the horse
has escaped. 1t is hard enough job
to replace destroyed property even
when the fullest possible insurance
coverage is carried. If inadequate
coverage is carried, replacement
may wipe out the savings of years,
and plunge you heavily into debt.

Undermining Public
Welfare

Is bankruptcy of railroads, in or
der to pave the way for government
ownership. the purpose behind rail-
read legislation now pending in Con-
gress? This, in effect, was the ques-
ton recently asked by Samuel o.
Dunn. editor of Railway Age. Such a
deduction might seem too preposter-
GUS to even consider. But the facts
are that the railroads are being
hedged about. closerand closer, by
increasing taxation and discrimina-
tory regulation. In spite of drastic
economies effected through greater
efficiency of operation, 1t is becom-
ing increasingly difficult to make
both ends meet. Last year the roads
made a profit for the first time in
several years. However, this year the
combination of pay raises and en-
forced rate reductions threatens to
more than Offset possible profits.
This antagohistic political atti-
tude toward railroad prosperity is,
to say the least, hard to understand.
Why should the nations greatest
single industry be SO prosecuted?
The railroads hire more men than
the steel and automobile industries
and labor difficulties have
always been settled with justice to
both sides. The railroads now pay
nearly $1.000,000 a day in taxes.
School taxes alone, derived from
this source, educate 100000 chill
dren each year.
Legislation detrimental to rail-
road welfare is certainly detrimental
to the welfare of the entire nation.
As for government ownership and
operation (socialism) II is safe to
say that the public, IL consulted.
would heartily oppose such a dang
erous and un-American theory of
government.
Can government afford to cripple
Dr kill its greatest taxpayers?

"Guardian of the Purse"

More than thirty years ago. Chas.
Evans Hughes, now Chief Justice Of
the United States. said this: life
insurance is the effective agency OF
thrift. The best guardian of the
purse that has ever been discovered
Is the life insurance policy"
At that time. life insurance was
more or less in its infancy. The
amount outstanding In the light OF
present-day figures. was relatively
Insignificant Now the American peo-
pie own policies totaling more than
a hundred billion dollars--and in
surance per capita in this country is
several times as great as 1t is In any
other nation.
Millions of Americans have found.
through personal experience. the
truth in what MFR. Hughes said long
AGO. Not the least of the virtues OF
life insurance is that II makes us
save-to put aside for the future,
when dollars may come hard. money
that we earn with comparative ease
today and that otherwise might be
frittered away. M
