' (Ho turn Post Special.)
AUSTIN' Texas June 2S. Th defend-
ants aa the Insurance companies may
be colied in the fire Insurance rats In-
quiry progressing before the State ratine;
board began their say today and dis-
closed the character of the reply they
have to offer to the nun-.eroua com-
plaints that havs followed the attempted
application of the new rates. Said reply
Is to the effect that the companies did
not ask for the passage of the fire rat-
ing board law and do not want to be
understood aa defending it. but that they
resent the Insinuation that thev havs
tried to take advantage of that law's pro-
visions to gouge the people.
Judge A. VV. Terrell waa the first com-
pUiliiunt to appeal1 before the board this
morning. He submitted a statement
from the proctor of the State medical
college at Ualventon Indicating that the
rules for that institution had been dou-
bled tie also complained niat the rate
on the State university buildings In Aus-
tin had boen lncrwiHed without any good
reason that he could see. The multiple
occupancy charve which hits a number
of Austin householders who rent rooms
to students struck him as being partic-
ularly unjust and obnoxious. In con-
clusion he said that If the legislature
that passed the "fire rating board act
had undertaken to raise tho taxes in the
Bame proportion that the insurance rates
have been raised many of tlie members
of that bory would have been hung by
this time.
Senator Hudspth paid that he had
been commissioned hy K. v. Lake a ctt-
zen of IUIlos to say to the board that 90
per cent of the people of that cltv were
protesting against the new rates. He
als) filed a telegram from the Dallas
chamber of commerce to Mr. Ijike ob-
jecting to the manner In which those
rates are being assessed.
W. H. Stacey v. ho 's a member of a
firm of Austin Insurance agents said
i. on oi ins patrons have complained
".!. ." iuir mi' Hi;.' m most In-
stances they could by complying with
certain inexpensive conditions get relief.
In
nm opinion luny in per cent of the
rtumin commercial nuns can secure a
reduction under the present schedules
with the co-operation of the cltv authori-
ties and by making certain provisions to
minimize the effect of exposures.
TKKRELL HAD A RKMKI.W.
Judge A. w. Terrell said he was
against the rating hoard law and that
his suggestion would he to let the people
make thoir own trailer with the compa-
nies and that If the latter organized
trusts to put their managers In the peni-
tentiary. Complainants having announced that
they had no further testimony to offer
llilam Thompson of 1 'alias attorney for
a number of fire Insurance companies In-
joi i ugami v . u. Mater or the Rl Paso
Herald und Senator Hudspeth of Kl I'aso
with regard to some of the statements
they had made yesterday. The trend of
Mr. Thompson's questions Indicated that
his purpose was to establish by these
gentlemen that In so far as they know
the companies had manifested a willing-
ness to make corrections in the schedules
wherever the necessity for doing so arose
and was demonstrated and thai they ap-
peared to be ready to lie guided by expe-
rience In straightening out the- rates.
Generally speaking the answers Mr
hompson received were satisfactory
from hts standpoint.
Mr. Thompson created a breexe how-
ever by asking Wr. His fur" If; 'when on
yesterday he hod declared that the col-
laitlon uf balances. f premiums under
authority of the "little red rider" had
been suKpended until after this hearing
he had meant to be understood as saving
that this had been done as the result of
an Agreement in his care.
Mr. Water replied that such wns not
the purport of his statement. He had he
declared seen a letter from a general
agent to a local agent In t:i I'nsn order-
ing tlm suspension of the collection of
the premiums in question and It was
upon that his statement was based.
EL. PASO COM.KCTIONS HCPI'ENDKD.
At this Juncture Senator Hudspeth said
he had received a telegram from the
president of the Kl I'aso Retailers" .asso-
ciation to the effect that the companies
had Instructed their agents to suspend
collections until after this hearing.
Mr. Thompson asked Mr. Sifter If he
did not know that this order had orig-
inally been lwn:sd at the suge: tlon of
the board i':. f but suhseqitnntly can-
celed presumably because of the posi-
tion taken by the commissioner of in-
surance that tho companies bad no au-
thority to siis"-inl thrlr schedules under
tlie law
Mr. Hlater replied In the negative.
'haliman Hawkins asked Mr. Blater
for the name of the general and of the
local agent concerned. He answered
that he did not know the name of the
general agent but that he could give
the name of the loo-il agent which he
proceeded to do.
Interpreting I he chairman's question fls
Indicative of i pui pore to take action In
the premises . A. Hanger representa-
tive of Ihe Koi t Worth complaiuanU
said that he ished lo enter bis hum

"I would res etf nlly suggest that you

pathies are always with the little fellow."
HVDSrETH'S STATEMENT CHAL-
LENGED. Later along Mr. Thompson started
something once more by asking Senator
Hudspeth If he had not on yesterday raid
that he had been informed by an Kl
Taso local agent that by a proper ap-
plication of tbe new schedule the Kl Paso
key rate could be reduced to J7 cents.
Mr. Hudspeth answered that his state-
ment was that nn Kl Paso agent had told
him that the Kl I'aso key rate could b
brought down to 17 cents by complying
with all the conditions laid down by the
Insurance companies some of which he
thought It imposslhle to meet.
Mr. Thompson then read a number of
telegrams from different El Paso agents
to th effect thai they had never told
Mr. Hudspeth or any one else that the
41 Paso key r'lte could he reduced to 17
cents hy a proper application of the new
schedules.
This brought Senator Hudspeth to his
feet w'.th a prof ft against what he de-
nominated an effort to discredit him.
"These inrtlcs havs been followed from
the beginning of this hearing and I am
tired of them. 1 "s told by a local
ngent of Kl Paso who Is a friend of
mine and wlif.se ni.me I declined to give
for fear It might cost him hla Job that
by complying with certain requirements
of the Insurance companies some of
which I feel sallstled can not be fol-
lowed that tho F.l Paso key rate could
be brought down to 17 cents and the man
who disputes that statement Is an in-
famous liar "
Mr Thompson as.urd Senator Huds-
peth that he was mistaken P"-
.nose of the Introdui Hon of tho telegram.
i nrefoced my remarks regarding with
an apology to you for having to use
hem I understood yesterday and I
think the stenographer's notes will show
and that the board understood that you
said that you had been told In effect by
an agent that a proper application of the
schedules would bring your key rate down
W IT rants. This ts an Important matter
with us and It behooved us to find out
who the agent wns that made that state-
ment I am satisfied now that you did
not mean to moke a statement of that
kind and sines the matter has been
cleared I up I trust you -will rellev your-
df of further doubt of the nature of
mv motives In the premises. .
thl xplans.tton was gracefully .
cepted by Senator Hudspeth and the
hearing rwumfed Its normal eoursa.
' EXPLAINED IJLWS ORXOII. "
F peaking for the Insurants companies
Mr. Thompson said" that they had had
IttUe to do with" thS framing or paasatra
ot pi firs ratine board law. The local
agents collectively and Individually to-
gether with lb former commissioner of
banking and tnaur'anoe were responsible
tor Its paaamgs he declared. This com-
mlasloner had concluded from statements
that had been made to him that some
of the weaker concerns needed protection
and had made up als mind that leglsl-
tlon was needed on the subject and It
i was to his efforts -that ths law owed
Its life. ..'. . - .
The only voice the companies he rep-
resented had had In the matter Mr.
Thompson said was to protest against
some of the verbiage of the law. He
wanted It understood therefore that he
was not here to defend the law but to
protest against the aspersions east upon
the companies for endeavoring to ob-
serve It He wanted also to emphatical-
ly repel the Insinuations that the com-
panies were attempting to take advan-
tage of its provisions to gouge the peo-
ple. He had himself contended before
the legislative committees thst If passed
at all the law should not be given effect
until January 1 mi owing to the mul-
tiplicity of detail attending Its operation
but hla suggestion In this particular had
been disregarded with the result that the
companies had been compelled to do tbe
best they could tn endeavoring to get
ready to work under It In a limited time.
Continuing Mr. Thompson asserted that
numerically speaking there had bn a
reduction In rates throughout the State;
that Is that the rates had been reduced
on more risks than they had been in-
creased upon and that while the com-
panies had practically been given license
to charge what they pleased they had
not- done so. On the contrary they had
only tried he asserted to construct
schedules that would produce as much as
they collected last vear when they lost
$1300000 trusting to reduction In the
flro waste for a production of remunera-
tive business.
LOSS RATIO INCRBASED.
The fire waste had been reduced about
100 per cent for the first five months of
lsU" but the loss ratio had Increased 4
per cent. Whether this was due to the
assumption of fuller risks under the co-
lnsuranoe clause or not Mr. Thompson
could not say. The total of the haiarda
had actually Increased $9000000 In round
figures while the premium collections
only amounted toaltttleovei $1000000.
For the first five months of 1909 Mr.
Thompson continued the average pre-
mium had been $2.28 while for the first
five months of 1910 It was $17. The aver-
age for the whole of the year 1908 was
$1.48.
Repeating that he was speaking In de
fense of the schedules only and not of
the law Mr. Thompson declared after
having submitted that the average loss
ratio for Fort Worth for the past ten
years had been 74 per cent that It came
with poor grace for Orange and El Paso
to now complain after having enjoyed
lower rates than they were entitled for
yea rs.
"Those cities have ridden the balance
of the State right along" said he "and
now that an effort Is being made to
euuallte and equitably distribute the bur-
den they are howllnti."
A DEFENSE OF SCHEDULES.
Contending that the schedules had been
constructed to give everybody a fair
showing and that no rates save those of
Orange and El Paso would he raised
thereunder except In a few cases In Fort
Worth Dallas. Houston and San Antonio
Mr. Thompson argued that by Incurring
the slight expense of making the changes
required by the companies Ki per cent of
the people of the State could bring about
a lowering of their rates. He referred
especially to Orange and El Paso he
said because they were the only cities
that had the color of a ground for com-
plaint. They had been enjoying rntes
that were unreasonably low compared
with the hazard Incurred in carrying
their risks and had been picked out to
lead the assault on the schedules henoe
the attention he had on Id to them:
w.
neurunee
company of lmllua. who. -read aa essay
pltfhe.a t e tune that tlie fire- rating
board law is 'rich In beneficent possi-
bilities." Only tlie favored few have been
hurt by this law he said and they
should exercise a little patience while Its
kinks are being straightened out.
Charles H. Hrown a Oalveslon Insur-
ance agent said that there had been re-
(liK'tions of from 32 to " per cent in the
late for residence risks In that city. He
Inid not received the rates on all of his
commercial risks yet hut thought that
the iat"S on about BO per cent of these
would show a marked decrease when the
Improvements called for by the com-
panies sre made.
The (lalveston Wharf company which
was one of Ihe larsest Insurers In ths
State when shown how It could bring
Its rate down by making certain com-
paratively Inexpensive Improvements has
expressed their satisfaction with the
schedules Mr. Brown said. Anil the
snme was true of the Galveston
I'.o oils enmnsnv.
