A bill has been Introduced In tho State legislature for tho purpose of regulating and conti oiling tho rates of flro Insurance premiums In this state. If ever a state was held up and deliberately robbed by Insurance companies, it Is Kentucky. Our rates are from 25 to 200 per cent higher than in neighboring states. In Mis souri it Is about one-half; but In that state tho law takes the burden off, while in Kentucky tho rate-makers pile It on. Tho Insurance trust works In this state similar to tho beef trust territory Is divided up and all compare rates. In Hickman tho rates are all out of reason, and tho Cour ier hopes our representatives at Frankfort will drive the harpoon deep into tho hide of tho malllod thief. If Interested in this matter wrlto your sonator to support Senate Bill No 21, and your representative to support House Bill No. C2. They will lower your insurance rates and durn the companies; let them live on what they havo already squeezed out of us. Gov. McCreary has appointed Esq. It. A. Browder, of Fulton, a Colonel on bis official staff. The 'Squire is right there with tho goods, alright, and tho Courier is glad to see him land In the state's dress circle.
