Insurance rings fixed by Iowa inspection bureau exposed
Des Moines report details the Iowa inspection bureau at Cedar Rapids allegedly fixing air and fire insurance rates across the state. The probe cites Henry Sampson and alleges local underwriters bands in Council Bluffs and Burlington operate separately, while most are tied to a state and national combination. It questions Blanchard law fairness, noting higher rates favor those who can pay, disadvantaging widows and the poor. The piece also outlines a quarterly conference of state institution executives and notes new money and credits tax findings.
