Y% IYEWBERRY, S. C. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. A COMMISSIONER OF INSURANCE. Annual Report ef Comptroller General Ellerbe-The State's Idea Reardir,g lHonest Assesiments Embodied Shortages. The annual report to the Legislature af Comptroller General W. H. Ellerbe, made public Tuesday, is a documeUL of especial interest to every taxpayer in the commonwealth. The paper is exhaustive, and contains statements and suggestions of more than ordinary significance. Other interests attaches t, the paper inasmuch as the depart ment represented is one of the main arteries in the economy of the adminis tration. The salient features of the re port follows: ANNUAL SETTLEMENTS. As required by law, I have person ally attended to and made the annual settlements in each county, except in a few counties where I secured the ser vices of a e!ompetent agent to make such settlement for me. These settlernenis in many respects, in several of the counties, have not proved satisfactory. Numerous errors were detected and in some cases inex csable irregularities were found, and in others a shortage of accounts of treasurers; and in one county (Union) embezzlements of the school funds were discovered. This case has been turned over to the courts as required by law for strict investigation and ac tion. The errors detected bave been corrected, and all monies placed in the public treasury, except in Charleston, where there is due from State taxes $480.3;, from county taxes $4,912.76 and school and poll $2,602.18, a total of $8,195.29; and in Sumter county $617,49 from State taxv, $30.6U from county taxes, and from school and poll $262.94, a total of $998.32; and in Union county $415.30 from State taxes, making a total of $9,608.91 due these respective funds from the three counties named. The balance from Union county grows out of the county treasurer pre senting a receipt as a voucher which properly belonged to and had been al lowed in t- e Itlement for 1888-89. Information coies to me that county treasurers in some cases deposit county and school funds in bank and receive therefor a small rate of iLterest on such deposit, and often parties holding claims against these funds are told that no money is on hand to pay them. A CHANGE SUGGESTED. The irregularities that have been thus revealed suggest to my mind that some changes should be made in our system of county collections and disburse ments, and while it may have objec tionable features I am now of the opinion that one disbursing officer for the State would remedy the existing difficulties and irregularities. A slight increase of the force (cleri cal) in the office of the comptroller gen eral would enable the work to be done, and nearly every county in the State having State depositories in them the general public would not be inconve nienced nor additional expenses be in curred by such a system of county and school disbursements. The penitentiary, Sinking Fund com mission and other institutions of the State under the law collect and dis burse money. The adjutant and in spector general disburses the money appropriated for the support of the militia when he is not a bonded officer. The habit of extending the time for the payment of taxes operates injuriously upon the annual settlements required by law. The time should be fixed at about the first of January for the pay ment of taxes without penalty and not interfered with except in ordinary cases.* The system of one disbursing office wo:Id save the expenses and time neeessary to send the comptroller gen eral to the thirty-five counties in the State and make bis oversight continu ous or daily instead of as now only at the annual settlements. INSU;RANCE DEPARTMENT. I beg to call your attention to the fact that the revenues from this source are far less than from the same source in other States coming under our ob servation. The laws of this State now require an annual license fee of $50', which amounted this year to $5,S80. -Also, each company doing .business in the State is required by law to return "gross premiums" for taxation, from which source the State received taxes on about $150,000. This year the re turn of premiums amount to near $750,000. The three largest life insurance com- t panies doing busiuess in this State paid into the treasury of Georgia, as reported by the comptroller general of that State, near $10,000, and into the treasury of South Carolina, as far as the facts have been ascertained, $150.r The gross receipts have not been re turned regularly by any class of coin panies doing business in the State ex- a cept fire insurance companies, and these have largely returned only the gross receipts sent by agents to the home office, and thus a large amount escapes taxation. There is another class of companies which slip into t'be a State without complying with its '.aws in any way and do m,ore or iess busi-t ness. 'The law should be made more strin gent along this line, with a view to - prohibiting such business. As it niow , stands the law afiords no adequate pr.. tection to the assured in cases of losses where contested and judgments ob tainedl, as in many cases no property is ownedl in this State subject to thbe pro. cess of law necessary to compel pay ment. The only remedy now is for the comptroller general to revoke the license of such companies, which pro hibits further lawful business, but does not afford relief to the citizen of the State who took risks with such com pnies. A small deposit from each company~ admitted into the State, in South Caro lina bonds, made with the State Treas urer, would remedy this difficulty. but should not be so large as to be at all burdensome to the insurance com panies. -~ ~Z~7 ~ This requirenient would also aid it obviating another difficulty with wild cat companies. by preventing their en tering the State at all, and imposini upon her citizens as now is sometime done. All companies admitted luto Soutl Carolina should be charged at least thi same fees and charges that a Soutt Carolina company would, by the Stat, incorporating such company to do busi ness in such State or county. In othe: words the comptroller general or !nsur ance commioner should be given .au thority to grade the charges against company by those made by the corm pany's own State so as to make our in 4urance law reciprocal as between thf St.es or other counties. The Comptroller General can dis charge the duties of insurance cownmis sioner, but, with his present experience inclines to the opinion that an insur ance department, either separate o subject to the control of the Comptrol ler General, would be a matter of econ omy to the State, and properly guarde( by law, with elfficieut management would increase the revenues to thi State proportionately to that of othe: States from this source. If the one-disbursing-officer idea ad vanced under another head should pre vail, then there would be need of i sub-examiner, and the ir:surance com missioner could be given such author ity as this interest may require. Thei a large number of interests and busi ness in, and seeking to come into thi! State, that now pay nothing, or corn paratively nothing, under our laws, fo the support of the government. Building and loan associations, for eign land and loan associations canno be reached advantageously except b: some system or license, and should b classed with insurance companies an( made to contribute their portion o taxes towards the support of the gov ernment whose protection they enjoy There is also a large intermit that nov comes under the law known as tha affecting hawkers and peddlers, whict should be placed under the same con dition of law r.nd made to do their dut3 as to taxation. In concluding this subject, the lav should be so amended tnat any and every class of business in, or seeking t enter, the State, can be reached ank made to pay a tribute to the govern ment whose citizens the business seek: to make money out of or investment. among. This cannot be done except b3 some system of business which wil force payment thereof in advance, a, many are ephemeral in character and vanish from search or sight before th< tax collector can get round. Let every interest, individual and business be forced to pay a just, fail and equitable percentage of the ex penses necessary to guarantee protect tion to such interest, individual or busi ness by the government under whos( jurisdiction the individual may live oa the interest may live or business be done. TAXABLE PRoPERtTY. The total taxable property of the State for the fiscal year ending 31st o1 October, 1891, is $168S,242,679, against $150,602,421 for the last fiscal year. An increase of $17,640,218 over last year. About 50 per cent. of this increase ii :ue to the increased assessments upon railroads, banks and other corporate property in the State. Some complaints have been made as o this special class of increased assess. m1ents, but it is not believed nor has it een shown that these assessments are above the true value in mioney of the ;roperty assessed. No complaints have reached this ffice from thbe increases on other classes f personal property. It is known that he increase comxes almost entirely from axable property other than real es ate. This Legislature, in,1my judgment, ~hould order a reassessment of real es ~ate in South Carolina, as it is known ~hat the average assessment upon this ~lass of taxable property is not much bove 50 per cent. of its real money alue, which difficulty can now be rem ~died only by the authority of law ~oing through the action of the Leg slature. There are, as I have good reason to elieve, millions of dollars of other tax ~ble property in this State not now pon the tax books, nor can it be fairly eached by the present laws promptly nd efficiently. The fact that a large amount of prop rty escapes taxation altogether and at values are placed so low upon other roperty makes the burden upon that lass of property, honestly returned and ssessed, unbearable and vicious, and ence largely the cause for theloud and st complaints against high taxation om that class of taxpayers. With the re-assessment of real estate t the legislature also provide a sys m-a law that will reach any and ery class of taxable property in thbe tate. Let monies, notes, bonds and taxable ~curities of every class and kind be ached an d placed upon our tax books. The ramifications of that system ould be so complete and thorough at no property can elude its grasp d the rich and the poor, the high and low-the citizen of South Carolina every condition made to feel, to real ;e, to know tnat he bears only a just rtion of the bur dens of a govern ment eated and maintained for the beniefit d protection of all it s citizens alike. Assessments properly adjusted to the ue value in money thereof with all xable property in the State on the ADVICE TO WOMEN~ If you would protect yourself frorn Painful, Profuse, Scanty, Suppressed or regular Men struation you must use BRADFIELD'S FEMALE REGULATOR CARTErnsVIL., April26l,1l886.

The inequalities of. the preser:t as - sessments are gross anid palpably glar . ing1 in some instances of the same ciss - of property inl different parts of the State, but the law as it now is dtoes not i confer the neee-sary authority upon - anybody, except every fifth year, to 5 equalize the assessinents between the different communities of the State. If the authority now given to the State board of equalization for railroads could be extended to all taxable property in the State other than -eal estate tire evil, I think, could be largely remedied, and proper equality of assessments in I all these classes of property mia<le and f preserved. It has been riy purpose to simplify and present the difliculties tis I fint them from one year's experience, and leave details and renedial laws to the i good judgment, wisdom and experince of your honorable body.
