ASTORIA, OREGON:
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 18, IBS
INSURANCE NOTES.
The Coast Review for August has
an interesting collection of notes and
facts relative to the insurance busi
ness on this coast. Talking of the
recent legislation in this state regard
ing a tax on insurance polices, a Port
land correspondent says: "Insurance
companies are neither children nor
fools, and "when some rise granger
got a law passed in the Oregon legis
lature, calling for a 1 per cent tax on
the premium of every policy issued,
vfe (meaning the companies) simply,
in our generosity, called on the as
sured to pay for this little luxury or
else go without insurance." This ap
plies to the mortgage tax law as well
as other monuments of legislative
wisdom.
In an article on "City and Country
Bisks," the Review takes the ground
that property-holders outside of the
large cities should -not grumble at
high rates. It says that lower rates
are charged in large cities like San
Francisco because "the favorable loss
ratio of the latter is the result of
superior fire-extinguishing facilities.
The steam engines and other appli
ances, the electric alarm system, the
short interval between the alarm-and
the arrival of the firemen, the abnn-
dance of water restrict the
losses and keep the risk within rea
sonable bounds." The weak link in
the argument is the assumption that
none but metropolitan dwellers pos
sess these safeguards. Astoria, for
example, has "steam engines and other
appliances, the electric fire-alarm sys
tem, the short interval between the
alarm and the arrival of firemen, the
abundance of water," all of whioh
our contemporary cites as arguments
for low rates, and yet Astoria pays
the highest rates of any city on the
coast There are several reasons why
Astoria pays such high insurance rates
Th principal reason is just because
she does. Our city is looked upon as
a bonanza by insurance men. "When
a little $25,000 blaze in Spokane Falls
or Walla "Walla, or elsewhere in this
northwest, causes the board compan
ies to lose, they console themselves
with the reflection that they "play
even on Astoria.
This has been denied, but the mat
ter is susceptible of proof. As a
prominent insurance agent in this city
said to us about two months age:
"I've done my share of insurance in
Astoria for nearly eight years and
$300 would cover all the loses to my
companies occasioned by fires in this
oity." Insurance rates are higher
now with all our costly aDDliannpu
tnan when we had nothing but an old
hand engine and a few feet of leather
hose. Of course justice suggests the
statement that risks are rated on
higher markings, but the fact remains
that in the belief of many there ex
ists in this city in the important
matter of fire insurance an onerous
and unjust tariff in the rates charged.
An article "Fires in the Pacific
Northwest," in the same number,
takes for argument that we of Oregon
and Washington Territory are a pack
of swindlers who do nothing else but
sit up all night to put up a job on the
poor insurance men. Of course the
article doesn't say this; it is written
solely as a justification of the high
rates charged, but is to say the
least suggestive. In the course of
the article referred to the following
eccurs:
The fire insurance companies have
been compelled to come to the rescue.
They have afforded an unfailing mar
ket of last resort for unprofitable
buildings and unsalable merchandise. '
xney nave a barrier between disgrace
ful bankruptcy and many a merchant
of flexible conscience. The facts
abundantly sustain this charge of
commercial immorality. Fires have
been far more frequent since the hard
times began, and the most of these
fires have occurred in the new rail
road towns which were most affected
by Villard's failure and the suspen
sion of railroad improvements. In
our Portland letter this month,
will be found a case right
to the point There is no
other reasonable explanation for
these unsual fires. The weather has
not been dryer than it ordinarily is.
There has been no increase in the
number of fires in towns equally in
flammable elsewhere. The spirit of
improvement in Portland did not
wait for the impulse of bad times to
sell undesirable property to insurance
companies; for, during the past two
or three years, including a"periodof
great prosperity, ambitious owners
of frame ranges in thct city have been
replacing them with bricks at the
expense of the companies.
Underwriters have made no money
on business in the northwest, but the
compact has most opportunely help
ed them at a critical period. Yet it
is doubtful if 1884, even with the aid
of the compact, will show any profit
on the Oregon business as a whole.
If the business is to yield a profit,
there must be very careful surveys.
Inspections must be made with spec
ial reference to the moral hazard.
Skilled judgment should be exercised
in determining the value of stocks
of merchandise. This is a point upon
which too much stress cannot be
laid.
The argument of the above is so
manifest as to require no comment
but The Astobtan protests against
it going broadcast as a fair expression
of facte concerning the northwest.
That there is grounds for the covert
allusion is true, but no just writer
will use isolated and doubtful cases
to establish a charge against a busi
ness community. A paid' advocate,
with bis retainer in his pocket,
whether he be in a court or a news-
paper office, may use his opportunity
to the disadvantage of others, and
such -we believe the editor of the
Coast Review.
EN PASSANT.
It is with due humility and a prop
er understanding of its rashness that
The Astobiak ventures to suggest to
its contemporaries on the Sound that
a little less spite and malice in their
columns would be of mutual benefit
to their prosperity. To the ordinary
mind it is difficult to see what good
it does a man to make faces at his
neighbor and call him naughty names.
"When the Tacoma Ledger character
izes Seattle' as a sawdust heap and
vfllifiea the dwellers thereon, it is
but human nature on the part of the
Post Intelligencer to do some un
seemly sneering at the outlook of the
"Terminal Oity" and throw ice water
on its schemes, and, yet. en passant At
seems more the province of ordinary
judgment to stop such silly efforts at
belittling each other and "pull togeth
er."
Our friends on the Sound have a
magnificent country, but they are all
in the same beat: what hurts or helps
Seattle, hurts or helps Tacoma. Their
interests are bound together. How
muoh more benefioial it would be for
Seattle to say a kind word about Ta
coma, and Tacoma acknowledge
the kindness by reciprocity toward
her sister city.
Purely as a matter of business, as
a matter of commercial policy, the
newspapers appear to be injuring
their section by such wholesale on
slaughts .against eaoh other as occa
sionally appear. People will get to
believe all that after awhile and will
act accordingly. There is room for
both cities and one or two more.
Seattle can!t make $100,000 without
Tacoma's making $10,000, and vice
versa. Every honest, energetic man,
every thousand dollar investment,
every project of progress, every plan
of development in Portland helps As
toria; every dollar of capital brought
to Astoria, every new street laid out,
every new house built, every honest
business started in Astoria helps
Portland and the state. We are all
"in together" in a reciprocal relation
ship, and no man, however insignifi
cant he may be, can help or mar his
own fortunes without his action hav
ing corresponding effect on his neigh
bor.
This argument is either true or
false, and we commend its considera
tion to our friends and fellow laborers
on the Sound.
The New York Produce Exchange
Reporter gives the figures at which
wheat from -Chicago can now be laid
down in London as follews: Chicago
prime cost, f. o. b., 78o; lake freight
to Buffalo. VA insurance to Buffalo.
o; canal freights, Buffalo to New
York, 3j; miscellaneous, )c; cost
Lo. b. at New York, 85o; equivalent
at the par of exchange to 29s 2d per
quarter. Add to this sum the freight
to London, which has recently been
engaged by steamer at lc per bush
el, and a J of 1 per cent insurance
New York to London, and the cost
freight and insurance, Chicago to
London, appears to be 80s Gd per
quarter, or about $1.46 per cental.
As the cost of raising wheat in this
state is $1 per oental, it will be seen
that at present prices in Chicago our
farmers are not able to compete with
those east of the Bocky Mountains.
The American Miller estimates
that the loss on a bushel of wheat
from holding it from July, 1883, to
the present month amounts to fifty
five cents, making the loss on the
whole visible supply in the eastern
markets, $16,000,000.
