THE FOUNDATION OF CREDIT The annual fire loss of this country is about $250,000,000, a destruction equivalent to one house out of about every four that are built. Fire insurance distributes this loss over the whole community, thus dealing a crushing blow to Insurthose who have suffered. ance has gone far beyond the point of being simply a system of distributing loss, it is quite as important because of its 'potential indemnity, that is, because of the state of security which it produces. The financial operations of. the ' world are on a basis of credit. A paralysis of credit produces disast-.rou- s results. The credit system is founded on insurance; without insurance it would be impossible to g&t a loan on a cargo of wheat or to, mortgage a house or for a retailer to buy on time payment a bill of goods from a wholesale merchant.

State Public Service Commissions have responded in a few states and granted new rates under which the utilities can meet demands for higher wages and cost of materials and upkeep and pay their war taxes. In 'Colorado for example, the State Commission, granted an in- crease in revenues of about $270,-00based on state valuation of the telephone property, and allowing eight per cent income, on net earnings. The same commission under its state system of valuations had ordered net reductions in rates equivalent to half a million annually just before the war, and has now ordered reductions on rural service. The increased rates just allowed the telephone company applies to Denver; and a few large mostly cities', while in the same order rates on toll lines and rural lines are materially decreased. National, state and municipal commercial bodies see the justice of the President's position and these business organizations unanimously back the demand of the administration for increases. The business men of the country who pay the; larger part of all tele- 0, phone charges in any state or city, ask that the credit and efficiency of the utilities be placed on a sound business basis even at their own expense. But in each state a few politicians who pose as the Champions of the people are protesting at any step taken to rehabilitate the utilities, and refuse to permit any advances in the direction of sound business.
