C., August 8, 1918. I have had so mainy requests to discuss my views on a National Warehouse System and the time al lotted me on the stump is so short, that I have decided to place my views before the public through the col umns of your paper. What we need most, at the pres ent time, is to get our agricultural products in shape to be used as col. lateral. My suggestion is that Con gress pass a separate bill, authoriz ing National Bonded Warehouses in .vhich non-perishable products of the soil can be stored, receipts to be is sued therefor guaranteed by the Gov 'rnment. About seventeen years ago, I saw the necessity of aiding the farmers n marketing their crops and organi sed a bonded warehouse at Laurens. this was one of the first organized in the State. This warehouse is built )n modern designs, practically fire proof, with the best sprinkler sys tem, etc. The insurance on contents t at an exceedingly reasonable rate. it has always been a success finan ially. The moneyed world knows that he cotton crop has to be marketed .vith a chort space of time, in order that the farmers can meet thzeir obli ation with the local merchants or banks, and the local banks be pre pared to meet their obligations for uoney borrowed elsewhere. There Fore, the owner of cotton has to take vhatever price he can get for it. If this price. should happen to fall fifty per cent. he has to sell. While, I am speaking of cotton I realize, of ourse, that no law could be passed governing this commodity alone. I do not believe in appealing for help when one can help one's self, but in this complex nation of ours it is necess,:ry for the citizens to abk the National Government for aid under these peculiar circumstances. If the States were allowed to issue money, then it would not be neces sary to go to the National Govern ment; but when we remember we gave up this right to the general government, and can issue money only on prohibitive terms, we can see the reason and justice of asking Congress to help us. It took me some time to make up my mind that this was the proper thing to (10. We see wvherc the Government appropri ates money t oedlucate us and aid us in making greater crops. We knowv of no Constitutional provision for this; however, we arc not complain ing, but on the contrary are thank ful. A great and good work is being (lone, but after we are taught to make greater crops, it would not lbe wvrong to hellp us get the best results we could for the products of our la bor. By doing so, our citizens will be encouraged to go on the farms, thereby improving their henalth and giving employment to many millions of idlle people, and they could help raise something to live on. This sys tem wvould increase the price of land, give employment to labor, would help the merchants, and would bene fit the cotton mills, and would dlraw~ at tremendous amount of trade from the other countries of the world which use our cotton. Farmers would be encouraged to raise greater crops, knowing that they could get a fair price. My undlerstandling is that tle Gov ernment issues certificates for whis key storedl in bonded warehouses. I see no difference in this and receipts or certificates given for the cotton in similar warehouses, except that the Government gets a revenue out of the wvhiskey, and it wvould be said thI the owners of cotton wvould not want to pay a tax. Trhis is true, but they would be willing to pay what ever expense wvould be necessary to get a receipt countersigned or guar anteed for their cotton, corn or grain. There are three ways to ac comiplish this. The first is by private warehouses similar to the one outlined above. This method, however, is inadequzgte, in that it does not take much money to build a warehouse. The capital is too small to insure confidence. Some time ago I listened to a man speag ing to the farmers along this line, and he advocated that wherever a few .thousand bales were raised, to build warehouses, lie meant well, but evidently had not stud iedl his subject. It would not (10 to build warehouses, unless they were practi cally fire jroof, tnd unless equipped with sprinkler system in order that the content could be insured, and at a reasonable rate. No one would loan money on such contents unin sured. This method, howvever, helps somel( locally, b)ut my idea is to get a system that will aid1 the whole coun try. These local warehouses can borrow Somec money at times, but this dlepenmds upon the reputation of the mr-nageiment more than the capital of the company. go ' ito the warehouse business. This is a big problem for the people to consider, and there is a great deal to be said on both sides. However, some States might pass such laws, and others would not. State Consti tutions would have to be amended. The third way, and this is my so lution of the problem, is for Con grd.s to paws an independent ware house bill. I do not know that the National Government would build, or that it would desire to own warehouses, but it occurs to me that it could recog nize all warehouses which are built according to modern standards, and if it should be thought necessary for the title to be in the Government, it could lease these warehouses for a nominall rental. Such warehouses then could be declared to be ready to receive non-perishable products of the soil. Before this is done,-how ever, let the warehouse companies furnish the Government strong bonds to protect it in every way, and then let the receipts be given by the ware houses, countersigned by some agent of the Internal Revenue Department. These receipts would specify the weight, grade, staple, etc. Let the warehouse company pay the Govern ment what expense i snecessary to get the receipt-in other words a very small fixed charge. There should be no compulsion upon any one to store the product, but in case they desire to do so they would have it in a form which could be used as collateral. The result in my opinion would be that money would flow in the direction of the warehouses from all parts of the country, and the owners would be, therefore, enabled to market their product throughout the entire year instead of being forced to sell in pan icky times. As every one knows, cot ton deteriorates but little, and there is z. ready market every day in the year; hence money should be bor rowed at the lowest rate. The Federal Reserve Bank has more than once indicated its willing ness to lend money at a low rate of interest, say 6 per cent. on cotton. What it does will necessarily be the measure of accommodations through state and National Banks, and in this they will the more readily coop erate where the basis of credit is guaranteed by a government certifi cate. When the present State Ware house plan was in its infancy, in dis cussing it through the press with lion. Jno. L. McLaurin, I undertook to show that it would be inadequate. Since Mr. McLaurin has made his views more fully understood and since he has perhaps even broadened those views, it is evident that we are trying to reach the same end by dif ferent routes. I would not detract anything from Mr. McLaurin's zeal and his great ability in evolving a State Warehouse plain to coordinate the interest of the cotton State. If Mr. McLaurin could bring about the cooperation of all cotton States as he advocates, the State system could be made successful. If 4s he sug gests, he could then establish a cen tral marketing bureau in New York, he wvould coordinagte the forces for gradual selling at the best prices, which aftcr all is the real thing to be desairedl. As between his viewvs an dImine then, there is merely the question of the most effective method of reaching a dIe!iredl result. I contend that if a National Ware house system is established, under a D Iirector with the intellectual force andI the enthusigsmi to go before the people and explain its details and pur~poses, the result wvill mean m)il lions of dlollars annually of add(ition al profits to farmers throughout the United States. It is for such a plan undler the dlirection of a capable di rector tha.t I favor National Bonded1 Warehouses. jI realize that the above suggestion is al ittle bit revolutionary, but this is a progressive age, andl it is neces sary to enact laws to meet the re quirements of the times. In ordler to get people to lend or invest their money, they must be convinced the security is perfectly safe. The plan above outlined sieems to me to be entirely reasonable, constitutional afnd practical. N. B. DIAL.
