THOSE INSURANCE RATES. 0 0 The Record says the insurance rates 8 of-Butler have been revised down- rs) ward. Now we will ask the editor of rs) the Record, if he believes that, to kindly publish the lines showing the 0 reduction and those showing the in- 0 creased ratings, and point out where- 0 in and to what extent rates in Butler rs) have been reduced. The facts are 0 the rates as a whole have been in- it) creased. In the same issue that pa- 0 per announces that Governor Hadley, 0 Attorney General, had saved the people of the state one and one-half million dollars by com- while serving as pelling the companies to abandon the combination and a tion of insurable property and a new classification of risks. The saving of this vast sum to the people is all in the imagination of r ~ublican editors, y man who carries insurance in the state knows. There has been no substantial decrease in any lines of insurable property, but what has been more than overcome by in- ses in others and the people of souri are paying more for their fire insurance than they did before Hadley made that grand stand play for the benefit of Hadley and the Re- publican party. These expert ad- justers always have methods by which they can have the insurance compa- nies get the full amount they desire and sftisfy the insured with buncomb displays of controling combinations, ete. The Times has been paying the stiff rate of $1.60 per hundred for years and is still paying that rate. Has the Record’s insurance been re- duced?
