Cash Dividends
For Safe Driving

The careful motorist is TO be fl
nancially rewarded for safe driving,
according to an announcement from
the National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters.
In the past, motorists have paid
the same price, based upon the acoi-
dent experience in the localities
where they live and the type of car
they drive, for Automobile Bodily
Injury and Property Damage Liabil-
ity Insurance. This has penalized
the careful motorist-though he
might operate his car year after
year without a mishap, his insur-
ance cost him as much as 1t did the
driver who was periodically involy-
ed in accidents. Now member COM
panies Of the National Bureau have
decided to write insurance on an en-
tirely new basis.
The new basis is the safe driver
reward plan" which guarantees to
automobile polieyholders a Is per
cent return of their annual prem
iums provided no claims are brought
under policies during the ~ months
after the effective date Of the plan.
The reward will be payable thirty
days after the expiration of the pol
icy year through the agent or brok-
er. All private automobiles covered
with bodily injury and property
damage insurance by the member
companies viii be eligible, with the
exception Of those which are subject
to the automobile feet plan. the ex-
perience rating plan, or some other
special plan.
It will be highly interesting to
watch the effects OF this new plan |
on the accident rate. Under It. TO
drive safely means that you are d.
rectly putting hard cash dollars in
your pocket. as well as preventing 1
accidents.

Are There TIOO
Kinds OF Monopoly?

The government is preparing an
aggressive legal drive against COM
panies which have allegedly con-
spired in restraint of trade and vio-
lation OF the antitrust laws. The
public supports government action
in preventing such abuses. but II
may find It hard to reconcile the
anti-monopoIy drive with certain
other governmental actions Of recent
years.
For example, large number Of
states have passed so-called "fair
trade acts" all of which are similar
in wording and identical in purpose,
and which permit manufacturers Of
trade-marked articles 10 arbitrarily
fix the minimum prices at which
they may be sold at retail. The Fed
eral government has given its OIL
clal blessing to these statutes,
through which we're passed in the
interest Of free and honest compe-
tition--than this? Theoretically, It
is perfectly possible for another
manufacturer OF a well-known COM
peting product to lower his prices
and thus cut into the sale OF the
price-fixed product. Realistically, II
is considerably more likely that
many manufacturers Of similar pro-
ducts will engage in "gentlemen's
agreements" whereby prices are fix-
ed. and middleman and retailer may
be forced to collect an excessive
profit at the pubIic's expense.
BY all means. let, the government
fight combinations in restraint OF
trade. But the role of government
in this drama would be more ehti-
cal If It had not encouraged mono
poly by placing the protection Of the
Law about prlee-axingl /
