FIRE COMPANY STOCKS BEST

Fire insurance companies are not
subject tC these handicapS as their
rates can be re-adjusted every one,
three or five years according to the
length of the outstanding policies.
This is also true of most accident
and health policies. Frankly, I pre-
fer the stocks of good fire and acci-
dent insurance companies to these
of life companies and health COM
Danies. Some other week will dis
cuss casualty companies: but thil
IS a subject by itself.
The cloud over the fire insurance
companies at the present time is the
very heavy fire losses. These are
running today greater than they
have been for years. Coupled with
these losses are the unju5tified cuts
in rates by the insurance depart
ments of certain states. These rate
should be raised instead Of lowered
The increased fire losses are due tc
poor housekeeping, unframed en-
ployes and the inability of fire
chiefs to get the needed equipment. :
Therefore. next week | shall say q
word tc your City Fathers as to the
immediate need for installing more
fire alarms, buying more fire equip
ment and making their departments
more efficient just as soon as poe-
sible before the big initiation come

COURT DECISION

Il is not Supreme Court decisions
or government operations which l
fear-but rather initiation. Initiation
could materially hurt life insurance
companies. 1t is true that they can
pay out the same dollars that they
axe III. but they have contracted to
make these payments based upon
certain operating expenses. In the
case OF participating insurance
companies, these operating expenses
could gradually increase, due to in
flation. without the direct writing
companies having any means of in
creaSing their income.
When a life insurance company
took a contract 40 years ago on a
young man at 20 years of age the
company assumed that conditions
would remain the same until the
man finally died. Up to the present
time. better health methods have
been reducing death rates. These
have offset, temporarily, these in
creased expenses and decreased in
terest rates. If initiation does not
come and interest rates soon again
ircreace, these life insurance COM
panies have little to fear but other

Insurance Price
Among Few
To Miss Raises
By ROGER W. BABSON

BABSON PARK, Mass, Oct. 27.-
Those who follow the market closely
know that the insurance stocks are
about the only group that has not
gene up in price during the past six
months. The industrialS are strong
based upon postwar prospects: the
railroads are strong based upon
huge temporary earnings; the pub
lie utilities are strong based upon
the hopes that Dewey will be elect
ed while other groups are more or
less following the leaders with the
exception of the insurance stocks.
These have been dull since the Sill
preme Court decision of few
months ago. This decision may not
hurt the larger direct writing fire
companies nor the well-operated re-
insurance companies, but it could
knock the present agency system

ness. Their honeymoon is apparent

INSURANCE COMPARED

All kinds of insurance companies
are more or less fearful of govern
ment interference in this country.
In foreign countries the insurance
industry has been che of the first to
be taken over by the socialiStic gov
ernmentS. SO many people are af-
feCted by insurance that it has been
a popular industry for politicians to
seek lower rates. Some economists
claim that the cost of selling in
surance could materially be reduced
under government ownership.
In the case of fire companies, this
might be done by adding the inSur-
ance premium to the tax bill, based
upon the amount that the property
is assessed. In the case of accident
insurance, the premium could be de-
Quoted from the wage envelope;
while life insurance will come more
and more under social security. Per-
sonally. l believe that these changes
may come some day but need not
be taken seriously at this time. Be-
sides. there always will be an op-
portunity for private companies to
sell excess insurance"-eXcess fire,
burglar. accident, life and certainly
casualty.
