now has before the state insurance
board a plan to raise rates 50 per-
cent on full coverage wind and hail
policies.
Homer Duffy, president of the
Farmers union, joined Lawter in
the criticism, saying, "I don't see
how an increase is justified—we've
had one of our best years in his-
tory."
Records Quoted
Duffy referred to the Oklahoma
Farmers Union Mutual Property
Insurance Co., of which the Farm
ers union is the parent organiza-
tion.
Supporting its claim for a rate
increase, the inspection bureau
holds companies are paying out
mor than 80 cents of every pre-
mium dollar for claims. It blames
wind and hail damage for the
heavy bite
On the other hand, Lawter claims
the Farmers union insurance firm
is paying out less than 50 cents of
every premium dollar for fire,
wind, hail and water damage.
Few Bad Storms Reported
He disputed the bureau's state-
ment regarding high wind and hail
losses.
