DISCRIMINATION
If the fire insurance companies are guilty of this discrimination
against the State of North Carolina, which pays them $10,000 a year
in premiums for insuring State property, with its Insurance Commis
sioner to place the insurance, what kind of treatment can the plain or
dinary citizen expect from them and what is he getting ?
The State of North Carolina and the citizens of the State may sub
mit to this injustice at the hands of the Trust, which has acquired and
exercises the arbitrary power of fixing and increasing these rates, as
long as they wish, but we conceive it to be the duty of the Press of
the State to inform them of the facts as far as possible.
Price : $1 a Year.
