OF PRESENT FIRE RATE LAW
A Resolution to That Effect was Unanimously Adopted

Appointed to be Present Next Tuesday at

At a meeting of directors and mem-
bug of the Temple Commercial Club
held last nignt, altar an extended
discussion of the fire insurance rat-
ing law, and the board, and the ef-
fect of the new order of things dis-
closed locally, tbe meeting unani-
mously adopted tbe reaolutlon which
declared "It la the sense of tbe Tem-
ple Commercial Club that tbe repeal
of tbe fire rating law as now consti-
tuted Is desirable."
Committee to Austin.
The cbatr appointed, by motion
adopted, tbe following to constitute
a committee to be present next Tues-
day In Austin at tbe public bearing
scheduled by tbe fire rating obard:
Chas. M. Campbell, A. J. Jarrell,

Capt. Geo. E. Wlllcox, waa added to
tbe commottee.
clothing merchants, the bankers, in
abort all clanses of mercantile busi-
ness are allowed to govern them-
selves. Others (but somewhat in
the minority at the meeting) be-
lieve that a new fire rating law,
eliminating the defects of the pres-
ent, would, in time, prove fair, both
to tbe companies and the insuring
public.
The action of tbe meeting, as re-
ported in tbs foregoing, followed the
expression by several present of their
opinions relative to the ebtlre mat-
ter. Tbe concensus of opinion, as
disclosed, was that the present law
could scarcely operate to tbe benefit
of all the people here (not to Bay,
also, elsewhere In the State) beta use
of Its defects, particularly those In
tbe machinery for quickly adjusting
rates on Individual fire Insurance
risks after Improvements therein
have been made, entitling a lower
rate to be effective. There was quite
a division of opinion, at tbe same
time developed existing, as to tbe
necessity of the fire rating law, and
tbe board, at all. Numerous of those
present, each an owner of large val-
ues for protection by Insurance from
fire, were clearly of the opinion that
nothing by tbe State should be done
to prevent competition among the
companies for business. In other
words tbe fire Insurance companies
should be held to a competitive bssls

Special to The Telegram.
Austin, Tex., June 17.—Tbe fire
rating board at tbe public hearing
here next Tuesday expects to reduce
rates throughout the State, accord-
ing to authoritative statements made
this morning.
This. It is hoped, will partly coun-
teract tbe sentiment now prevailing
against the law, and probably lead
to a mere amendment of the present
law, Instead of repealing It entire,
by the Legislature in special session
next month.
Following the call for a special
session of the Legislature, the Gov-
ernor's office is being flooded with
mail from all parts of the State,some
of the writers indorsing the Gover-
nor's attitude, others asking for cer-
tain proposals and recommendations
to be sent to the Legislature bearing
on,the matter.

sion charter, and wants a bill there-

KENNEDY S STAND IS
PROVED CORRECT
(Waco Times-Herald.)
Representative A. M. Kennedy said
today:
"The fire rating board law was
enacted by the last legislature, after
a most persistent campaign made by
the representatives of the State ad-
ministration. Its advocates claimed
that its passage would prevent un-
just discriminations so common then
a^id would reduce tbe cost of Insur-
ance to 90 per cent of the insuring
public. While being opposed to dis-
criminations of every kind and heart-
ify In favor of a square deal to every
person, I did not believe the law
would be beneficial, hence opposed
the bill. On the motion to strike
out tbe enacting clause, I voted no,
hoping to amend the bill so as to cut
out its trust features and retain
those features that would reduce in-
surance rates and prevent discrimi-
nation; falling in this, to defeat. If
possible, the bill on final passage.
But the sentiment for the bill was so
overwhelming thai Its opponents
were swept off their feet. I have
heretofore announced >*fat If evpe-
rience proved that tbe law was a bad
one, I would vote to repeal It. And
now that the Governor has called
the Legislature together for its re-
peal, I will attend and vote to re-
peal the law.
"I will also Introduce a bill to
prevent unjust discriminations and
to give every man who buys Insur-
ance a square deal."

In adjourned regular session yes-
terday afternoon, the Aldermanic
Board made rather slow headway.
Maybe It was the weather's beat, for,
the "blue room" at this time of the
year is akin to What we are taught
to believe is Hades. Then, too, the
Mayor was out of physical trim
which was the reason, perhaps, that
he grew "peevish" at tbe wind-up
because the council voted to suspend
the third fine against an employe of
the Temple Foundry and Machine Co.
at the request of Mr. Brockelmeyer,
who supported his suggestion by say-
ing that tbe party had since then
taken tbe pledge, and he, the speak-
er, purposed paying the second of
the man's fines. Mayor Hain.il], af-
ter the council bad voted to grant
the suspension, declared it waB out
of all order, and that "it matters not
how many tlmee hereafter the man
is brought before me charged with
drunkenness, I will refuse to again
fine him." The Mayor's position
seemed to be based on his opinion
that the council by Its act to suspend
the fine has established one of those
"■precedents" bound to be worrysome
in other future Instances, besides
setting at naught the proper proce-
dure of the corporation court. But
the council had adjourned just after
voting the fine suspended, when the
Mayor protested; therefore there was
no "reversion" a* the time to be
had, even, had the council deemed It
expedient to reverW««d they appar-
ently do not so deem.

that tbe structure was to be used

ferred to the sanitary committee for

Preliminary estimates of various
methods of street paving for the N.

ing completed their labors, but be-

Brittons Demands Were, at the Eleventh Hour, too 'Hoggish
McDaniel, Therefore, Declined to Consider Them in
Any Particular—Temple-Northwestern Has the
"Toe-Holt" in That Territory, and Con
struction Work Will be Rushed
"At the last moment, the demands
of President Britton of tbe Cotton
Belt, as disclosed by him. were so
harsh in their plain intent as to make
impossible their acceptance, in the
purpose of conserving all the people
and ccmmuuitieg interested in the
Temple-Northwestern railway; there-
fore, the negotiations were suddenly
called off. The Temple-Northwest-
ern railroad will proceed lu construc-
tion according to the original plans,
I. e., to Bay between Gatesville and
Hamilton, as well as between Tem-
ple a»d Gatesville and Hamilton and
Comanche."
That, in substance, wa$ the report
brought here yesterday by President
McDaniel and Judge Peck of tbe
Temple-Northwestern, upon their ar-
rival from Dallas, and presented last
night to a meeting of the directors
aud several members of the Commer-
cial Club, all of them interested fin-
ancially In tbe Temple-Northwesteru.
Ratification is Recorded.
After bearing the verbal report of
the negotiations and how and why
they were terminated without having
reached an agreement as was first
proposed, the motion of Jas. K. Fer-
guson, seconded by A. J. Jarrell, to
ratify the action of President Mc-
Daniel and counsel Judge Peck, as
reported to the meeting, wae unan-
imously adopted.
A meeting of the local stockhold-
ers, directors and tbe officials of the
Temple-Northwestern railroad will
be held today at which time tbe pro-
gress of construction work to the
present time will be reviewed, and
contracts for material for further
work and other matters of impor-
tance at the present time will have
full attention.
Brief Review of Negotiations.
'At tbe meeting Judge Peck and
President McDaniel briefly reviewed
ths course of negotiations during tbe
past ten days between President Brit-
ton of the Cotton Belt and themsel-
ves. The negotiations (which fin-
ally came to naught) were for the
purpose of arriving at the proposed
arrangements between the roads as
to trackage between Gatesville and
Hamilton, and for the TempleNorth-
western were to be subject to tbe ap-
proval of tbe stockholders and sub-
scribers to bonds of the road.
Tbe conferees were in session from
time to time through about ten daya,
during which time they visited
Gatesville and Hamilton, also Austin
with reference to legal points aris-
ing.
When finally Judge Perkins, gen-
eral counsel of the Cotton Belt, sub-
mitted a form of contract such as wag
desired by the Cotton Belt, It was
found. Di practically every detail, so
tar restrictive of the rights ami priv-
ileges—even the very life of the
Temple-Northwestern—It was reject-
ed in toto without further consider-
ation by Judge Peck aud President
McDaniel when they were told by
President Britton that "it is that or
nothing."
In the principal essentlala, the
contract proposed by the Cotton Belt
officials amounted to this: The
Temple-Northwestera's tracks should
extend from Temple to Gatesville,but
no farther. The Cottoa Belt propos-
ed to extend Its tracks from Gatea-
vllle to Hamilton, and, tentatively so.
from Hamilton to Comanche; the lat-
ter detail not being guaranteed, how-
ever. The Cotton Belt would permit
trains of the Temple-Northwestern
tbe use of the Cotton Belt's tracks
fromi Gatesville to Hamilton, but the
former's trains would not be permit-
ted to stop at way-stations between
those given points, nor were the
freight and passenger departments of
the Temple-Northwestern to solicit
business at any point West of Gates-
ville, In short, the Cotton Belt's
terms amounte^o its own occupancy
and control of all that territory be-
yond Gatesville.
A glance is all that Is necessary to
make obvious tbe very good reasons
actuating the Temple-North west-
ern's officials in so precipitately
bringing the negotiations to a ter-
mination, and telling the Cotton Belt
to "go ahead and build your own
tracks, If you're bent on so doing,
and we'll go ahead with our own con-
struction and operation of train In
the original territory and what other
we may choose to enter;" the which
amounted to the "last word" spoken
in tbe matter.
The Temple-North western officials,
when they entered Into the nego-
tiations, proposed to the Cotton Belt
that either of the roads should track
the gap between Gatesville amd Ham-
ilton, and agree upon a basis of joint
use of the track, each of the road's
interests being fairly conserved, and
all the territory to remain neutral
between the railroads as to freight
tonnage and imssenger traffic; also
that the Temple-Northwestern would
build, own, control and operate Its
tracks between Temple and Gates-
ville. and Hamilton and Comanche.
Not only was such a proposal not
attractive, it seems, to the Cotton
Belt, but, as was disclosed, that road
could not agree to anything short
of nullifying the Temple-North west-
ern as a railroad In that said terri-
tory.
President McDaniel and Judge
.Peck asserted last night that, hav-
ing the unanimous support of the
people from Temple to Comanche,
they entertain no disappointment for
the attitude of the Cotton Belt. Con-
struction work of the Temple-North
western is progressing rapidly and
eutlrely satisfactorily along the line,
and they propose to have trains op-
erating between here and Gatesville
by October 1, next, and soon there-
after to Hamilton, and thence they
will hurry forward completion of the
property connecting with Comanche.
Moreover, in view of the disclosed
attitude of tha Cotton Belt, construc-
tion of the Temple-Northwestern #111
be pushed with double the force here-
tofore at work. The Cotton Belt,
through the etubbornneea of Pi»esl-
Aaat Britton, may, eventually, paral-
lel the Temple-Northwestern's tracks
to Hamilton from Oatesvllle, but tht
"home road" Is so well entrenched
between those two places; construc-
tion work is so far advanced, and
the right-of-way now owned consti-
tutes all along the route such a
strategical position, that the Cotton
Belt's trsck. If built st all, will rep-
resent one of the costliest pieces of
railroad building In the United
States.
Tbe eense of tbe meeting here last
night. In which all the business men
present were united, was, aa In the
foregoing outlined, that "the Tem-
ple-Northwestern railroad shall and
will be built from Temple to Co-
manche, via Gatesville and Hamil-
ton."
Watch for our prioes for tonight in
onr After Supper Circular.
