This discussion eventually rais-
ed the question of the credits and
penalties given to communities as
a "whole for good or bad fire rec-
ords. Penalizing Big Spring for a
heavy loss occurring in the cot-
ton industry there was cited as
not making the industry bear its
own losses, Ralph Soape, execu-
tive secretary of the Insurance
Buyers’ association, contended.
Bayne Satterfield, member of
a, fact-finding committee for the
Texas Firemen’s and Fire Mar-
shals’ association, sahl there
should be no particular rata in-
creases by classifications because
the community charge for a bad
fire record offsets the high losses
The State Insurance commission
has set five per cent as a fair
return or underwriting profit on
fire insurance. Satterfield con-
tended that by such a standard
Texas insurance rates are too
high. H'e said the underwriting
profit in Texas is 16.42 per cent.
In the last year, he said, the av-
erage fire insurance rate in the
state has been reduced from 99
cents on $100 to 19 cents.
Soape said that even with this
reduction, Texas rates are not
keeping pace with the national
average of reductions.
Soape submitted figures going
back to 1921 to show that in the
19 years the national rate level
has been reduced 34 per cent
while in Texas the rate level has
been reduced 15 per cent. Over
the same period, he said, the loss
ratio in Texas had declined 46
per' cent while the natinal loss
ratio dropped 20 per cent.

BEWARE
t OF PLEA FOR *
Second Term
After receiving
a salary of be-
tween $100,000
and $150,000
and after hold-
ing public office
continuously
for 26 years,
my opponents
claims to be en-j
titled to a sec-
ond term.
On a second term plea, if
elected, my opponent will have
been on the public payroll for
32 consecutive years without
missing a pay day, and will
have received a salary out of
tax money of somewhere be-
tween $150,000 and $175,000.
I do not believe he is “en-
titled” to a 32-year term.
