Safe Driver
Reward Plan is
Very Successful
Safe Drivers Make Gain in Better
Insurance Rates as Result
of This Practice.
Eighty-eight out of 100 insured
motorists in 97 of the 107 rutins
territories where the Safe Driver
Howard 1'Ian Is now operating, it is
calculated, will pay net liability pre
miums lower than those previously in
effect although rates, based on acci
dent and loss experience, -went up
February 1 in nearly half the terri
tories. Kates were lowered or un
changed in the rest of the terri
tories. This is shown in a survey of new
basic liability rates issued by the
National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters in conjunction
with the Safe Driver Reward Plan.
This new program was instituted
February 1 in 27 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia by 32 stock com
panies members of the bureau and
provides u return of 15 per cent of
the premium if no losses occur under
the policy within a. year from the
date it is effective.
The bureau pointed out that
whether it was higher, unchanged or
lower, an addition of 4.S per cent
had botfi made to the base rate in
each territory which, while it ap
pears to be an arbitrary increase over
the level indicated by accident and
loss experience alone, actually is a
charge upon the driver who has acci
dents that produce losses so that the
safe driver can be given a substan
tial reduction in insurance cost.
"The Safe Driver Howard returns
the 4.S per cent to the safe driver
and gives him an additional saving
of approximately 11 per cent that
would not be possible otherwise."
said William Leslie, manager of the
national bureau. "Our figures show
that SS per cent of our insured mo-i
torists are no-accident drivers and
will get this saving."
Once each year the bureau revises
rates on a basis of accident exper
ience in the 300 territories into which
the country is divided for this pur
pose. Determined by cost, size, horse
power, etc., cars are placed in one
of three classifications for rating.
The great majority of insured cars
take the time and caution to drive
safely has been advocated for some
time and caution to drive safely has
been advocated for some time by mo
tor vehicle commissioners, safety of
ficials anil others," said Mr. Leslie.
"We hope that even more than the 8S

WASHINGTON7 ( UP) Technolog
ical inipren ements in industry have
contributed largely to the downfall
of coal from its former position of
economic pre-eminence, according to
Dr. W. H. Young, economist for the
Xatioual Pituminous Coal Commis
sion. Not only improvements, but the
sudden and gigantic: development of
oil and gas as fuels, and water power
as a source of electrical energy also
have contributed. Dr. Young pointed
out in a current study of the ailing
industry.

Dr. Young cited the following factors
contributing to the downfall of coal:
1. Changes in fuel-using indus
tries, citing the smelters as an ex
ample. Many smelters now are using
gas or oil.
2. Improvement in fuel burning

Price war, such as those In the

?2.20 a ton in 1924 to $1.34 in 1933.
The 192:'. price was $2.GS a ton.
Loss Shown in 1929
Even in the boom year of 1929,
the industry suffered a net loss of
'$12,000,000, and $50,000,000 a year
during the three years after 1930.
Dr. Young estimated the 193G loss
at $29.;4(J.9S1.
Labor costs since 1933 have in
creased 117 per cent per ton. he
found. An all-time high in mine
employment was reached in 1923
with 705.000 workers on the pay
rolls. In 1934. this figure had shrunk
to 45S.OO0. The peak production was
re ac hed in the: war year of 1918 when
579.000.000 tons of coal were mined.
Since then the demand has fallen
steadily.
Despite adverse conditions in re
cent years, wage agreements have
been generally maintained in con
trast to 1923 when contracts were
widely abrogated during the slump
of coal prices. Dr. Young found.
The tederal government is at
tempting to regulate prices, fixing
a minimum below which production
can not -sell in market areas, to aid
the industry. The coal commission
recently issued minimum price sched
ules which were attacked, and the
Guffoy-Yinson act setting up the coal
commission has been challenged In

Obituary of George Maurer.
George Maurer was born June 17,
IS 63 in Ottenheim. Germany. He was
the son of John George Maurer. In
the fatherland he grew to manhood
receiving his schooling, his baptism
and confirmation in the church of his
homeland.
As a young man in his early
twenties, he came to America during
the ISSO's. He came to the Eagle vi
cinity tor a short time, then resided
in I'lattsmouth for ten years. He
later returned to Eagle and with his
brother farmed a piece of land north
west of Eagle.
His brother, John, passed away In
1931 and since that time he has lived
alone on the farm. Declining health
and illness brought him to the end
of the journey of life on February
10th, 193S. at the age of 74 years,
7 months and 23 days.
There are no immediate relatives
with the exception of one brother
and one half-brother still living in
Germany as far as is known. Three
nephews in Florida and four cousins,
George and Henry Trunkenbolz and
George Reitter of Eagle and Mrs.
Anna Rockenbach of Alva. Oklahoma
are the only relatives living in this
country.
Mr. Maurer lived very much to
himself, living humbly and without
an ostentatious life among his
neighbors and friends.
Services were held Saturday, Feb
bruary 12th in the Trinity Lutheran
church of Eagle with Rev. R. E.
