V MESSAGE OF GOV. MANNING
f v TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE
(Continued from page 2, column 3.)
r
pfopriation made by the last legislature;
and with the increasing amount
' of cotton stored, it may be that this
' department can be operated on a
yearly decreasing amount or money.
I refer you to the report of the comt'i:
^ missioner for further information on
this subject. I have gone over this
entire matter with the State commissioner,
and he, from his experience
jf and observation, is entirely in accord
> in accord with these recommenda:
tions.
Uniform Warehouse Receipts.
V "Uniformity in State legislation
governing commercial and financial
transactions, is desirable and impor
/ ; ">; , r. ?
tant,. This is true of laws governing
t . - storage. The Southern States should
* Have uniform laws on warehousing of
agricultural products; and an im!'
' *,portant step towards this would be
^ ' ^ . taken by the adoption of the uniform
^ I v warehouse receipt act, and I urge upon
you its adoption,
r- , ? Land Registration.
"I again advise that you enact a
land, registration law based on what
v is commonly known as the Torrens
system. Thies is a necessary prerequisite
to a system of rural credits.
f Jk land registration act will simplify
^ - I
the matter of land titles, reduce the
expense of examination of same and
si mole and inexpensive plan
that will cheapen the cost of borrowing
money on real estate, thus
making more practicable, at small
expense, the use of land as collateral
for loans.
"A Torrens system deed gives the
owner the'secure feeling that the
State warrants his title and tlfus puts
-an end forever to any doubt or fear
of litigation.
MThe time has arrived for definite
action on this-matter, and I strongly
. - urge upon you the necessity for its
enactment at this session.
\ 1 Rural Credits.
"Forty-three per cent, of our white
farmers are tenants. If we are to
build tfp our rural districts, increase
the production of the soil, make easy
the improvement of our rural schools,
churches, roads, and all rural community
life, we must have a greater
proportion of our people as owners
of their homes and farms. No one
can contribute to this accom
Iaent and this blessing more
a practicable, workable system
ral credits, so that homes and
' can be bought on long-time
snte and at low rates of interThis
would furnish our white
ts the plan by which the money
is now paid as rent for farms
be applied to payments on
Vbought Every imprpvement,
acre whose < production is ind,
would be for the benefit of
ircfhaser. After some yeans of
afid industry, the annual Wy,,little
more than the rent they
ay, would ggve them a fee simlencumbered
title to their home
urtn: /
tave prepared a plan to provid?
ig-time mortgage loans, repayot
which is provided .for on
&^rtizati6n plan; but inasmuch
neasure of this kind has been
aced in congress, ' with the
probability of its adoption, it
e unnecessary for the State, at
this time, to act on this question unthe
experiment has been tried Out
'by tbe federal government.
"But as a statement has been published
by the comptroller of the currency/3Ueging
that excessive rates of
interest have been charged by certain
banks, and. in view, further, of the
/ ? ? . . - /
X widely advertised statements alleg;ing
exorbitant yates of interest being
charged for advances to farmI
deem it of great importance
^ V that the State ^bould provide a plan
for short-term credits for farmers,
> -under which money can be borrowed
by farmers at low rates of interest. I
"have drafted a plan by which \this
purpose can be accomplished, and
this plan will, I hope, receive that
t attention which will perfect it so
as to make it available for our farmerg.
I shall submit this plan to you
fn a later message.
'.'This matter I deem of great importance,
for if the'statements thai
% have been made as to the exorbitant
. rates of interest charged to farmers
are true, then one cause for the fail~
ure of unprofitable farming will have
* V been discovered, and it is our duty to
r -endeavor to remove the cause of this
V 5 :
complaint. It is manifest that no
^ "business can succeed that has to be
^ - v t operated under such adverse condi!^8.

r .Good Roads. "
V-. .. , ?<.
- "It is apparent to every observer
*;hat the roaQs in South Carolina are
' " better now than thhy were a ' few
/ I - years ago.- It is apparent, however.
J - to every observer that we have not
. yet arrived at that point when a system
of building and maintaining our
public highways has been satisfactory
in results and economical in
operation. The fact is many thou
L v sands of dollars are annually wasted
P in ill-iudged construction, and almost
negligible maintenance. When we
i
consider the importance of cheap I
transportation in our usual districts,
and that transportaiion is u.n expensive
item in our l.\es, it is J
time ofr us to ben^ attention!
seriousiy to the matter of road j
improvement. The time has come j
when we should act, and not
roads, and the economic question ini
vnlvpH in
"A number of plans have been suggested
to bring about a system of j
roadways throughout the length and
breadth of the State, with construction
that will be permanent and the
cost of maintenance light, and I commend
this subject to your earnest
consid'eration. We unquestionably
r
need these highways. They must be
constructed if we are to keep pace
with the progress of our sister States.
"I direct your attention to the
plan offered by Mr. Reid Whitford, of
Charleston, as a basis of a plan for
your consideration. It may be that
a State registration tax on motor vehicles?our
supreme court in a reHorisinn
has declared that this
I VV/UV
can be done constitutionally?can be
so devised as to accomplish this great
object, and I commend it to your consideration.
I Board of Conciliation.
"Labor conditions in the State, particularly
in Greenville and Anderson
counties, have, been acute during the
past year. Tlje situation there shows
that we should provide some legal
machinery to investigate strikes, and
mediate between employers and employees.
"I recommend the creation 6f a
board of conciliation, which wull have
power to investigate strikes and to
mediate in their settlement; in connection
therewith, to have power to
summon and examine witnesses, to
compel them to testify, to require the
production books of record and pa- j
pers, if necessary, but, above all, to
have as its duty the settlement of in- j
I dustrial disputes; and to make a report
of their work to the governor,
and through him to the general asI
sembly. I
j, . "I deem it important that this
board be removed as far as possible
from partisanship and from political
influence; and I suggest that such a
board should consist of three., members,
to be appointed annually for a
- ? ? Ko nnnnint.
term 01 one .year, vmo iu
ed by the supreme court, one by the
governor, and one, by the commissioner
of agriculture, commerce and industries;
that these members should
be paid a per diem for the time employed.
In the interest of justice and
harmony I urge the creation of this
board.
State Federation of Labor.
"The State federation of labor desires
the enactment of a law creating
a bureau of labor. I approve of progressive
legislation in behalf of labor,
and with' the operation of a
board pfy conciliation during 1916,
and the enforcement of the laws
which we now have on our statute
books protecting labor, we should be
in position by the next session of the
legislature to remedy such defects in
the laws as have been discovered, and
. r 4
to pass new and effective legislation
to work out the proper protection and
destinies Of our working people.
Workers.
"I wish to call your attention to
the necessity for some legislation in
behalf of workers, especially women,
in large industries, and also women
employed in other lines of work.
Women are sometimes cruelly op
j ' i. n
pressed, anu nave lu wuin. iyi a
greater number of hours than flesh
and blood can stand. Sometimes
they arei required to work as many as
sixteen houns or more, without opportunity
for rest, and with scant
time for meals; and with their work
places at times in an unsanitary condition.
"These questions are of vital import
to the future of our race, and
we must vitalize and put into active
effect the laws now on our statute
books, which apply to these conditions.
If the present laws# are insufficient,
they should be so amended
as to give the*power and means to
provide for their enforcement, so that
these conditions may be improved
without delay.
Workmen's Compensation Act.
"Damage suits for injuries received
by employees fill our courts. An
investigation of these cases reveals
many miscarriages of justice. Often
a wropg is done in paying unsufiicient
damages to the injured; often a
wrong is done by paying damages
which are not deserved; oft?n delays
in trials-?delays on account of appeals?work
a hardship and expense
to both sides to the dispute. It seems
to me in keeping with the spirit'
of progress and in simple justice,
that .uncertainty and delay should
be'avoided and a plan adopted by
which regular and certain payments
for injuries should be made by employer
to employee. The (machinery j
ior adjusting a settlement 01 sucn
cases should be provided, and I recommend
the adoption of a workmen's
compensation act providing for the
payment for injuries received by an
employee on such a basis that the
payment should be certain and
\
\
?r ' Ji-.. %
prompt, and at the same time, just
and fair to both employer and employee.
National ^Guard.
''The National Guard of South Carolina,
by reason of the high standard
of its personnel, their patriotism and
loyalty to duty, deserves the highest
commendation and support of the entire
citizenship of the State. '
"I will communicate with you in
a special message on this subject. In
the meantime, I refer you to the report
of the adjutant general.
Confederate Veterans.
"Smith Carolina has always been
proud of the splendid service and
patriotism of her Confederate soldiers.
The assistance that she has
given to these veterans has not been
in proportion to her loyalty and devotion
to them. The appropriations
have increased, but this increase is
not in proportion to their needs.
Their rapidly thinning ranks reminds
us of increased attention that is
necessary to them. 1 It is gratifying
to note the better care and increased
comforts given to those in the Confederate
infirmary. I commend to
your attention their needs, and urge
that liberal appropriations be made
for them.
State Board of Charities and Correc.
. tions. '
"T desire to commend your creation
of this board, and ask your consideration,
in detail, of their report,
which will reveal the character of
their work. Its value will be more
apparent as time goes on. Their
work leads -the way to the improvement
of those afflicted, and will lead
to more humane and proper methods
in dealing with the problems that
come under their supervision.
"I urge the continuance of the appropriation
necessary for this work;
and am satisfied that their accome
plishments in these few months justify
the creatior " this board. Their
work is necessar., for the better and
eiflightened treatment of criminals
and unfortunates.
Penitentiary.
"The penitentiary, under the wise
guidance of the superintendent and
board of directors, exhibits a wonderful
record in financial success, and
shows improvement in the treatment
of prisoners. The spirit of progress
and of greater humaneness in the
treatment of prisoners is a subject
which cannot be neglected, and which
must appeal to our human nature and
sympathy.
South Carolina Industrial School.
"This institution, at Florence! has
outgrown the expectations of its earlv
advocates. Comfortable accomino
dation is provided tbere for about ope
hundred and fifty white boys. That
institution is . endeavoring to take
care of two hundred and fifty. This
means over-crowded buildings. * Its
needs are apparent, and I commend
its report to your careful thought and
consideration.
Board of Fisheries.
"The work of this board, during
the year, has been hampered by limitations
placed upon them by legislative
enactment. /I call your attention
to their report, and the suggested
changes which will enable this
commission to carry out its mission
and make the fish and oyster industry
in South Carolina a great and
growing one.
The State Board of Health.
"The work of the State board of
health deserves high commendation,
and I suggest a careful consideration
of their report by the general assembly.
"Their budget for the coming year
does not ask for an increased appropriation,
except for an appropriation
of $4,687.50 for community work.
If this extra appropriation^ granted,
the international health cpmmission
will contribute an eq,ual amount; and
with this money the State board of
health will be enabled to initiate
work and supply health officers to
lead our people to take such precautions
that will prevent the spread
of typhoid fever, hook worm, tuber
culosis, and other diseases which now
afflict the State and produce such a
high percentage of death rates,
"The death rate in South Carolina
from typhoid fever is 316 to the 100,000.
Some cities in this country
have reduced the death rates to 20
to the 100,000 as a result of these
precautionary measures. I approve,
therefore, of the appropriation for
this work, and believe that its benefit
will be great in the rural districts,
in our towns and cities, and especially
in improving the health conditions
in our mill villages.
Cattle Tick Eradication.
"Another important question to be
considered in preparing to cope with
the situation that will confront us
when the boll weevil comes, will be
the raising of cattle. The money
that is now being spent on cattle
| tick eradication is a wise investment,
and is proving effective.
"This matter has been so clearly
set forth at a previous time that T
feel it is only necessary to say that
I earnestly urge that you make the
appropriation of $30,000 requested
for this purpose, so that the effective
