Cab |nsurances Rates
Defended by Moor
Al House HEARING
Declares SIG q Month
Is Minimum to
Protect Patrons

Charges that taXicab insurance
rates in Washington are eXorbitant
were denied before the House Dis
trict Committee today by j. Balch
Moor, superintendent of insurance.
The present rate of SIG month,
which was recently reduced from
$21, Mr. Moor told the committee, is
low In comparison with rates in
other cities and is the minimum fig
ure at which insurance can be writ
ten and afford protection to the rid
ing public.
Mr. Moor was called before the
committee as a result of charges
made at meeting two weeks ago
by Representative Bates. Democrat,
of Kentucky that taxi drivers were
being overcharged for liability in
surance.
He told the committee, however,
that most of the insurance carried
by taxi drivers is written by local
mutual companies, whose rates are
far under the rates of large stock
companies. The taxi drivers, he
declared, get insurance at a fiat cost
plus fair minimum charge to
cover the cost of the companies for
doing business.
Kennedy Backs Moor.
Representative Kennedy, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, who is connected
with a large insurance company in
Baltimore, agreed with Mr.. Moor
that taXicab insurance rates in
Washington are not eXorbitant.
Il am surprised at the low in
surance rates here" he declared.
I'll predict now that it will be only
short time before you have to
raise the rates or not pay the losses.
You can't raise rates and get cab
drivers said MI. Bates. Il don't
know how they make a living now"
Representative Schultz. Democrat,
OF Indiana asked Mr.. Moor If WASH
ington is "overburdened" with am
bulance-chasing lawyers
Mr.. Moor said he knew of only
two or three of, this type who ARE
rather alert
The committee favorably reported
a bill sponsored by Representative
Kennedy to establish a so-called
fair trade practice law for the
District. 1t would authorize a
manufacturer or producer of trade
marked or branded articles to enter
into cont acts with retailers for the
maintenance OF his price. Mr. Ken
nedy said the proposed legislation is
designed to increase competition and
prevent a monopoly.
New Cab Schedule in Effect.
The committee discussed but
passed over without prejudice a bill
which would prevent liquor dealers
from purchasing beer on credit.
Taxi patrons today began paying
under the new schedule which calls
for higher fares in all but the first
zone, but the opinion was expressed
that a week S trial would be neces-
sary before the effect on travel could
be judged.
The principal lines have said they
expected to lose under the higher
rates, ordered into effect last mid
night by the Public Utilities Com
mission, but a representative of one
of these this morning explained that
as this is right after payday" and
there are hundreds of visitors here,
it would not be possible to get an ac-
curate line no business.
The new schedule is 2O-4O-6O-8O
as compared to the old of 20-3O-50-7O.

Highway Toll in State

Although the number of
highway fatalities in Della
ware exceeds that at the cor
responding date a year ago
the difference is not so much
as to shatter the hope than
1889 yet can be made to show
a creditable record. The total
to date, "A, compares with 20
at the corresponding time last
year. We quite agree with
the Morning News when it
says:
IF every motoriSt in the
state will resolve from now on
to drive carefully it should be
possible to overcome the diff
ference before the year is at
an end. Delaware drivers are
not responsible for al Of the
accidents on Delaware roads,
yet it is a fact that most of
the persons injured and killed
on our roads are residents of
the state.
IF all drivers will exercise
care and courtesy and adjust
themselves to traffic condi-
tions at all times there should
be little difficulty in avoiding
trouble. When there is a
jam on the roads, as there
was last Saturday and Sun
day, the proper thing to do is
to keep in line until there is a
clear way to pass cars moving
in the same direction. What
may be gained by adopting
any other course is slight,
while the risk is great. 1t is
particularly advisable to
adopt this plan when round
ing curves or ascending hills.
In no other way is it possible
to gauge road conditions
ahead"

DR.. Cremer said he was expelled
with other members of the foreign
coiony in Ethiopia following an un-
explained order from Rome.
French officials here interpreted
the sudden ousting of non-Italian
foreigners as a move by the Ital-
ian authorities to stop the seepage
of news, across the iron censorship
clamped down on the country, OF
serious defeats of the Italian forces
