State Auditor Barton is opposed to the Idea of the state making rates for lnnurv/ ance companies and he insists that Ne- braska has not endorced this idea In the passing of a law providing for a honding board to pass on the rates charged by bonding companies. “That law,” sald the auditor, *‘simply gives the power to the state board to make a maximum rate. That was a neces- sity because the bonding companies had joined together and at any time they could change their rates and force them as high as they desired. So the legislature gave the power to the state board to place a limit on the rates they may charge. “I am opposed to the state making 1ates, for one reason because the rate naking might become a political issue and partisans might make rates which would ruin some companies and work to the ad- vantage of others. “The state should keep a close tab (n the affairs of insurance companies and it at any time the rserve should become | Impaired the insurance department should | force the companies to make good.” D.
