but many additional dollars to be paid in insurance pre­
miums against more fire.
Much of the fire loss could have been avoided.
Some of the fires were of incendiary origin. Others
might be called unavoidable. But an exceptionally large
number can be attributed to carelessness alone. Ten mil­
lion, or five million, or one .million, is a large sum for the
state of Oregon to pay as tribute to carelessness. The
higher insurance premiums that may come is another
sum that might easily have been saved. And all the time
and energy’, to say nothing of the cost that was expend­
ed in building part of that ten million of wealth might
as well not have been spent.
Oregon cannot afford to pay ten million dollars a
year in fire losses. It 'cannot afford to pay heavier in­
surance premiums. But they are bills that will be paid
so long as a few people persist in going through life with­
out a single thought as to the destruction they may bring
about by carelessly starting or spreading fires.—Oregon
