Minter Company Lauren. S. C. WAREHOUBB 5X1'LV P OBEAT AND SMALL N. B. Dial Tells of Operation of Plan in Laurens and State Orgranisation. To the Editor of The Advertiser: Upon my return from Pittsburgh and New York a day or two since, my attention was called to a piece writ ten by Senator Banks in which he mentions my name in conection with the' State warehouse srstem and the recent Insurance muddle. In order to keep the record straight, I will go back a little, and would state that the only letter I have circulated con cerning either of these matters was the one I had printed in the newspa pers on October 24, 1915, a copy of which I will be glad to send any one upon request. Of course, this could not have referred to the late insur ance legislation. For years I have ad vocated a nattgnal bonded warehouse system, and, in fact, went to Wash ington and made a talk before the ag ricultural committee of the house in October, 1914, on this subject. I have these remarks printed, and would be glad to send to any one upon re quest. Senator Banks and Senator McLaurin have occupied a great deal ,of newspaper space for some consid erable time, praising the present ware house system, and each praising the other. It was never intended by the system of our government that the 'tate, or county, or any other division of our territory, should engage in bus iness. I am opposed to the present State warehouse system for the rea son the State of South Carolina is not liable for the cotton stored in the warehouses and for other reasons. If it is thought best to have a State ware house system, then I favor amending the constitution and putting the credit of the State in full behind every re ceipt. This present makshift of a warehouse bill is a delusion, and mis leading, and was passed only when the people were in great distress about the low price of cotton. The best way for our people to market their cotton is to do as we do in Laurens county-build warehouses by individuals and corpor ations. We built one here nearly 20 years ago of which I am still president and we are today enlarging the same. I dislike to appear in print and to pa rade our private business before the public, but since this question is one that the people seem ery much in terested in, I will briefly state what we are doing. McLaurin and his friends blow loud trumpets about the low rate of insurance they are getting, to wit: $1.58 per $100. Our warehouse is paying now, and has been for some .1.5 years,,about 15 cents per $100, de pending upon return premium. This could be reduced about one-half, pro vided we put in additional fire protec tion. If the State warehouse system is such a great success as its friends claim for it, why is it necessary for the legislature to appropriate money to keel) it going? Aly information is that McLaurin asked the legislature, before this last one, to appropriate $120,000 to the State wvarehouse sys tem. What amount they gave him, I do not recall, lie asked the last leg islature. to contribute $25,000 of the people's taxes to carry on his institu tion. They gave him $1-2,000. it oc curs to me if the enterprise is a good one, and they have the credit of the State behind it, as they claim to have, they could make itself sustaining. On account of our warehouse, I have no jealousy whatever of the State sys temi, because I know we can operate a warehouse cheaper than the State of South Carolina can, and will not ask help from the State. It is the princi ple and management that I am opposed to. I am not certain, but I believe the State warehouse system is exempt from taxation. We pay our taxes like other citizens. Don't misunderstand me about wanting to help market our cotton gradually, because I believe this is one of the great crying needs of the times and I have been preach ing it for the last 25 years. Now, as for the money with which to hold the crops, Some time ago the editor of The State said he would like to hear from people who had been able to borrow money on the State warehouso receipts. His paper was flooded with letters from people wrho were able to do so at the rate .of 6 per cent per annum from local na tional banks. This was no argument as to the strength of the State ware house system since the government furnished all national banks money to be loaned on cotton, upon the con dition that it would ot charge a gtreat or rate than 0 per cent. I am presi dent of a national bank and we loan money on our local warehouse receipts at this rate. This doees not show any strength of the warehouse, or any lib.. erality on the part of the bank. It is just simply carrying out the agree ment with the regional reserve bank. The test of the strength of the wvaro7 house receipt would have been abor rowing money on it from banks other than national banks, or borrowing money on it out of the State. Senator Banks seems offended be cause I am opposed to the pesent warehouse commissionet. This I do not deny. I consider his methods very injurious to the upbuilding of our State. I am reliably informed that he prepared a -bill and had it intro duced in the last legislature requiring independent warehouses to pay into his system 5 cents a bale per month on all cotton stored by them. This bill was referred to the agricultural com mittee of the house which reported on It favorably, except reducing the amount to be paid. Wihen we, the rep resentatives of the independent ware houses, got the bill recommitted and had a hearing, the committee unan imously reversed itself and reported the bill unfavorably. I am also in .formed that Commissioner McLaurin had a bill introduced requiring every grader of cotton to get a license from him. I will not express my opinion of the motives of these acts but Just state the facts. He is an unsafe man to be at the head of a monopoly. As to the insurance legislation, I am not interested in the Southeastern Underwriters' association and have never been an insurance agent and not connected with them in any way, nor am I a spokesman for them. Many years ago I thought their rate too fligh and I have carried most of my business through other channels. However, I do insure some with them and I believe these rates are reason able. If they charge too much, they should reduce it. I am no expert on these matters. Anyway, it is a seri ous question with our people, and I know of some debtors who will be closed out and their property sold un less they can furnish satisfactory policies. It is amusing in this part of the State when we read in the newspaper about Senator McIaurin advising with the governor about the best course to be pursued for the in terest of the people of South Carolina. At which conference he will discuss "the invisible structure of the totality or the totality of the invisible struc ure," or something of the kind. He had best talk in United States lan guage and tell the governor they had gotten him in a scrape and he had bet ter do as one negro told another in Louisiana when they were discussing deer, which had horns four feet across, in the woods where the trees were I wo feet apart, and one negro asked the other how the deer got out of those woods and he replied: -."They just turned around and back out." To my mind, the State oflicials and the insurance companies should form a truce and continue to do business until the next legislature meet'; and get this matter settled upon some equitable basis. The last legislature was composed of a large number of exceedingly clever men, but the great trouble was they forgot to think. Heretofore there has been no trouble to jump on a poor cotton mill or some other enterprise that could not move and pass pretty much any kind of law it wanted to. But an insurance company operates quite differently. All it has to do is to pick up a few papers, send a check to the landlord, lock the door and give the key and a quarter of a dollar to the janitor and say good-bye. Since Senator Banks has taken suetb a great interest in the miat ter, I would liIke to ask him a qulest ion or two: Was it not your intention andl the Intention of some of the founders of the State warehouse system to get a stay law passed by the legislature in 1915? D~idn't you think and say that a stay Iawv in South Carolina wvould keel) creditors from selling eel laterals outside of the State? Do you believe that such sentiments wvouldh help the credit of South Caro linians? I trust that the good people of thuis State will get together on sound leg islation and stop experimenting with impractical propositions. N. B3. Dial. Card of Thanks.
