ONE IMPORTANT OMISSION. , r Up to the present time the Wys and p means committee has made a most Important ; omission In Its recommendations. Two years I . ago the legislature placer at the disposal a of the governor $10,000 to be used In defray- I log the expenses of the suit brought by thc I ! state to recover the $235,000 lost In the 1 : , Capitol National bank failure. The litigation thus authorized has been dragging slowly l and painfully during the past fifteen months. , First snit was Insttutelr In tIme district court In and for Douglas county The d. t : cis Ion _ or Judge DavIs threw the case out of t that district court for lack or jurisdlcti n . f Then an appeal was taken to the supreme 1 ' court , where Jurge , Davis was su talned , Then the supreme court was applied to ( or t an order granting permission to try the , case before the supreme court without going through the district courts of Lancaster w , county Time order was granted and the case anr set for last fail. A postponement was secured - cured until January , and then the death of one of the bondsmen , John FItzgerald bonrsmen Fizgerald. occasioned - - sioned another delay. The case Is about ready for trIal and lay be taken up within a few weeks , possibly at the sIttIng of the : . court next week 1 or the 10,000 originally appropriated but $ J,600 has been expended , leaving a balance In the state treasury of $8.600. Although the expenses o the coming trial before the supreme court wi be heavy , It Is believed that $ S,500 wi 0 amply sulclent to pay I all 'lahns. nut the $ 8.600 still unexpenlled will , under operation uf law , revert hack to the treasury , on Apri 1.

' - OMAhA , March G.-To the nrlor of [ The lee : As a vigorous effort Is being made by , their local the Insurance companies , through representatves , to secure from the present legislature the repeal of the vahlll policy I ' law In this state , 1 few facts regarding time operation or Insurance II Nebraska for time past ten years may be of Interest The Insurance - surance lobby at Lincoln Is earnestly plying every member of the legislature with an array of statistics to prove that there has been an "alarm In ! Increase or the loss rate " and that the valued policy law Is wholly respn- slhll for It , In that It has so greatly increased - creased the moral hazard of Insurance In creaer their demonstratons the unrerwrlters invariably - variably figure from the basis of "ratio of losses Incurred to premiums received , " and then draw the conclusIon that time Increase or the loss rate Is wholY due to the "Incen- lve to imtcendlarismn" and the "premlul al arson" offered hy this law. Looking at I from that standpoint even Auditor Moore says In his last report that he "can't resist the conclusion" that such has been the elects of that law The rlnculy arises from the fact that thc uuderwrlers from Intent and the casual ob- server ( rom lack of thought anti Investga- ton , figure entirely from n false basis , and their "IrresistIble conclusions" are therefore erroneous The astute underwriter Invarl- ail ) ' bases his computations upon the rate or loss to Iremlums received , and 15 also careful to use the "losses Incurred" column Instead or the "losses paid" when presenting his lure ! to the publc , and the casual reader accepts his sophistry as au Incontestable - testable fact. CONVICTED BY ThEIR OWN MOUTHS. The sworn statement of the companies ! doing business Ir this state as filed with the : auditor of state , proves conclusively the Jroves falsity of their premise and the error of the conclusion drawn therefrom. A proper analysis of these reports will prove conclusively - elusively to the mind of any impartial reader that the Increase of moral hazarr has not been as "alarming" as Insurance writers have portrayed I , and that lusurance companies In Nebraska are not surerlng any hardships or Injustice from the operation or the valued policy law. Their base of reck- oning Is radically wrong , from the fact that premium amid loss bear 10 rte relations whatever to each other. They represent unlt quantities and therefore no true rate can exist betweemi them. The premium upon an Insurance polcy Is not the contract be tween the company and the Insurer , but Is simply the compensation paid ( hy the Insurer for tIme contrct , I Is not based upon timeless loss covered by the policy , but upon the pre- sumpton that no los will be Incurred. It Is the Irle of n hazanl that the company wi not bo called on to pay the Indemnity namer In the policy. In Insurnco all premiums are supposed to he based upon the risk assumed , amid all losses must be computed upon the same hasls. The rate of premiums varies ac- corrlng to the degree or physical hazard imivolved . competition enforced and many other contingencies consequent upon the business of fire insurance while time loss , if I any 15 fIxed by the specific terms of the contract. In the adjustment of 1 loss the measure of damage Is by no means figured upon the premium paid , hut upon the face vllue of the risk assumed : To arrive at the true ratio of Increase or i decrease of the loss rate for any given period the computation must be made upon the , volume or risks carrie and net upon the volume of premiums received. This propo- siton will commend Itself to the unbiased judgment as the only true amid correct basis for computing the Increase of the loss rate Underwriters , by their method of figuring. drop from their calculations the very hn- Ilortant feature of the Increase of the risks assumed. assumed.FIGURES FIGURES THAT SHOW FACTS.

I desire to cal tie rcader'a aUcnton to a few prominent facts , conclusively proven hy tIme above table. that completely refute all charges against the valued Policy law : ' I. 'hat Instead of companies withdrawing from the state , lS threatoner b ) reason of the enactment or that law , the number of commip.mnies doing business In this state bas actualy Increased from ate average of ninety- four during tIm first lel'lor 10 10 during the I I pist five years , I 2. Time risks written Increased train $86.248,512,64 II 181 , to $133,271,393.60 $ II 189. or ( rom In average volum6 of risks of $8,2G1.370.75 for the frt five years , to )25,839,008,91 during the five years of time operatol of the saw , an annual average In- crease In the volume of rlss written of n , llr cent - 3. The rate of Ilremium gradually decreased - re- creased frolu $2.01 her $100 In 1885 to $1.50 vur $00 In 1&13. The average rate of Premium per $100 for the flrt period was $1.80 , and for the live ) 'ear following the I enactment of the law the average prtjmmmiuuo I rate has only ben $ .51 per $00. D decline In Iremlum , rates of 27 cents per $ , or 2,7 mia on the 110lar , As I result of limbs decline , while the average yearly increase of rhkl wrItten has been 4 per cent , the average yearly Increase In the volume of premiums receh"OI hiss only been 20 per ( \nt , In othlr wordl , the Increase In the average yearly yolul of premiums received - ceived lacks 21 per cent of keeping pace - with the early average Increase of risks assumed , 4. The loS s incurred exceed the losses paid dlrlng the perIod of ten years by the sum of $242:6 ,50 , or an average annual excess of $24,236.65. which amount , I suppose - pose , represents the annual value of the bras and bulldozing of adjustern. 5. Taking their own favorite basIs of computatIon-viz. : "RatIo of loss Incurred to premiums recelvctl"-we flail that the average annual rate of loss for the first five years was :1,28 per cent , while the "alarming Increase" under the value polcy law has only brought the rte UI to 48.87 Per cent-al Increase of only nS per cent , instead of 76 or 100 per cent as cnlmell by the ulilerwrler , On the true basis of compulaton , lmowever-vlz : the rate of loss pal lo risks written-the reader will ob- serve that from 1884 to 1888 , Inclusive , the average annual rate or loss was 55 mills on the dollar . whlo uUler the valued PolicY law , (01 a like period of time , the rate has been 7.8 mils on the dollar , or a net average Increase of 2 , : mils on the dollar , a fraction less thau one.fourth of 1 Ier ; cent. Not such an "alarming IncreaBe or time loss rate" alter all , when you stop to conslrer In rates that the average decrease 11remtlm for the same period was 2.7 mills on the dollar of risks wrItten , or four-tenths of a mi In excess of the Increase of the loss rate Thus I wilt be Been that the "alarm- Ing increase of the los rate" on account of the "premium placed on arson" hr the val- neil policy law amounts to our-tenths of a mill on the rolar less than the voluntary , reduction of Ilremium rate , with which the reructon nothing whatever to do. 10w ro I our friends emi the other Bide or this Ils- clsalon account for that fact ? That time volume of loss has largely In- creased during the past five years I ndml , anml the Increase Is fully shown In , the table herewith submitted , limit I must be borne In mhl1 also that the volume of risks written materially and that has also increased very materlalr , whIle there has also been an Increase In the voilme of premium receIpts , yet owing to the reduction referred to , this increase has fallen far short or the pace of Increase Bet by time other two elements of insurance . HAS NOT INCHEASED TiE ITAZM1D. What I claim , amid what I think 1 ham proven concluslvcly , Is that the valued PolicY law has not Increased the moral polcy hnzard of Insurnce In this state one Iota , and the only manner In which I has affected the loss rate at all Is that It has simply compeled the companies to comply with their part of the contract , and In case of total Icss Ilny the full amount of Inclemnly for which they hail accepted premium from the Insurcd. \Vhatcver Increase of moral hazard there hat ' been during the past fve years is . I be- leye , dime wholy 10 the conditions of the tmes and not In any degree to legislation , From 1884 to 1888 Incllsive this country was blessed with good crops and a general era of lrOsperlty. luslness Interests were plosperous , employment amply sufficient to meet all demands of labor , and money clr- eulater freely ; while the five years (010\ . Imig the enactment or the valued policy law hav been Jecularly disastrous upon busi- ness. Three of the live years have wlt- nesed almost a total crop failure In this state , while the crisis of 189 has had on unprecedented depressing erect upon all lines of business. In colsequeuce of these condi- tons there Is no dOlht but that the friction of I heavy Insurnce policy against n de- JHclater property or an unprofitable busi- ness has prorucer n great deal of "spontaneous combustion" In this country during the past two or three . years . ! ron which insurance companies lave surere1 seyerely. But the valued policy law should not ali cannot be held responsible for the depressed conditions of the times anti the general lack of prosperity from which the country Is suffering. Furtimermore that la\\ apples only to the Insurnce of real property and not to merchandise and other personal property , and I venture the assertion that by far the larger Jarof the Increase of the loss rate comes from personal property risks and that the Increase or moral hazard Is directiy chargeable to time 80 per cent Insurance - surance clause adopted by the companies themselves. There was no valued policy law prIor to 1889 In this state , yet in the report of the auditor of public accounts for time year 1890. on page 47 , I find a table which shows that the rate of los to premiums rectv d In I the year 1880 was 78 per cent' which exceeds the highest rate since that time by 1 per cent. Yet "moral hazard" was scarcely hinted atby the underwriters until after the enactment of a valued policy Inw Why this sudden change ? The fact Is thnt the moral hazard was far greater under the old methods of Insurance. when agents would plaster a risk with all the policies that time Insured could bo Induced to pay for , regard- less of the value of the nroPrty Insured and time - - companies In case o'r loss ) would bulldoze the unfortunate owner Into any sort or a settlement they pleased under threats of Incendiarism by reason of over-Insurance.
