Y. M. MUTUAL URGED
$50,000,000 Risk Would Be
Handled, Says H. W. Stone.
RATES FOUND EXORBITANT
Premiums for One Year Declared
More Than One-Half of Losses
Sn stained In 60 Tears; Sav
ing of $45,000 Likely.
Organization of a Y. M. C. A. Mutual
Fire Insurance Company to handle th
850.000,000 risk on the 759 association
buildings in North America is being
promoted by H. W. Stone, general sec
retary of the Portland Y. M. C. A.
Letters that Mr. Stone is receiving
daily show that the movement is tak
ing hold over the country, and that th
formation of such a company win De
but a matter of a few years. Yt. J.
Parker, assistant general secretary,
Chicago, is working out the details..
Association property In North Amer
ica is valued at 877,484.448, exclusive
of other assets of 8.324.561. Of thi
amount properties in the states of
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Call
fornia are valued at nearly 8a.000.ooo.
On the grand total of value tne
North American associations pay 8150,
000 in annual premiums more than
half of all of the fire losses that have
been sustained in all of the assocla
tions in their history of 60 years.
Moral Hazard Not Involved, He Says.
Mr. Stone says he cannot understand
why the associations should continue
to nay for losses that tho experience
of 60 years show are not sustained, or
why tho Y. M. C. A. buildings, scat
tered as they are over a large territory
and lacking moral hazard, should have
a rate that is influenced by policies
which are a constant risk.
Mr. Stone does not hold local agents
in any way to blame for this condition,
He believes they have been wording
for eauitable rates for Portland and
Oregon, and aays their efforts have
been directed entirely to promote the
nterests of the state.
The growing importance of the mu
tual company to the Y. M. C. A. is
indicated by the building record for
1915. lust announced. Last year
new buildings of all kinds were erected
or opened, valued at 88,663.171, a gain
of 81.390,371 over the year before.
More than 86.165.345 will be spent on
buildings to be erected in 1916.
843,000 Saving Predicted..
In discussing the issue in a report
that has attracted Nation-wide inter
est. Mr. Stone estimates the associa
tions can save at least 845.000 a year
by handling their own risks.
About 50 per cent of the premiums
paid by the Insured to the stock com
panies is consumed ln home omce ex
penses, agency expenses and fronts
The other 50 per cent pays Are losses.
It ought to be unnecessary for the
associations to pay more than one-
third of this item. The saving would
amount to 30 per cent of the total
premium income; or 845,000 a year, If
applied to the entire volume of our in
surance business."
Agencies May Be Used.
Several methods are suggested for
the formation -of the company. It could
be managed by the members of the
International committee or by a board
of five persons representing local as
sociations. The work of obtaining
members, paying Are losses, adjusting
damage and general omce detail couio.
be left to companies already in ex
istence that would do the work tor
small percentage. The company
would be on record in the office of the
tate Insurance Commissioner of each
state. '
At the end of each year the pront
would be divided, half of it being re
turned to the associations and the
other half being to Increase the re
serve. The company would start wun
each association paying one annual
premium as a contingent liability fund
The entire liability might be reinsured
'until enough associations had come into
the plan to make it a success.

It is the duty of everyone to keep
themselves in good health,, but if the
stomach is deranged it affects the liver,
kidneys and intestines, and it is im
possible for these organs to perform
their proper functions; the result is
indigestion, dyspepsia, headaches, bil
iousness, sleeplessness, lassitude, pains
in the back and sides, coated tongue
and a general run-down condition.
Many people are daily testifying to
the efficiency of Plant Juice. Only re
cently the following signed testimonial
was received from Mr. Franklin Larkln.
who lived at Savannah, III., and now is
in the National Soldiers' Home, Milwau
kee, Wis., and who was a veteran in
the Ninth New York Cavalry. Ho
stated:
"I have been troubled with my stom
ach for a great many years. My food
used to distress me after eating, caus
ing bloating and belching of gas. I
was also restless and nervous and did
not sleep well at night. I was trou
bled more or less with constipation,
dizzy spells and headaches. I had doc
tored for my troubles but did not seem
to get any relief. My roommate told
me about Plant Juice and how much
good it had done for him and I decided
to try it. I can now truthfully say
that it has cured me, for I can now
digest my food: have no more consti
pation or headaches. I sleep all through
the night now, whereas before taking '
Plant Juice, I could hardly sleep any. I
can recommend Plant Juice to all stom
aoh sufferers."
Plant Juice is sold in all Owl Drug
Stores.
