(COMMVN IDA TED)
JOEL F. ARMISTEAD SAYS
IT IS A "BRAZEN BLUFF”!
Joel F. Armistead, general agent of
the Cosmopolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, made the following statement to
day :
This morning’s issue of The Consti
tution contained an article in which
several statements are made concerning
the insurance investment bill, which is
being heard bv the senate ju
diciary committee. This article
also contains a statement con
cerning me. In fairness to myself.
1 ask .you to permit me to make my
own statement as to my position in the
matter and not be misled by the state
ment of Mr. Guinn or Mr. Anyone Else,
concerning the stand J take.
Mr. Guinn charges me with "brazen''
effort to drive out competition. Mr.
Guinn has got the cart before the
horse. It’s a "brazen” bluff on his part
to influence the lawmakers of this state,
by threatening them with ruin if his
and other Eastern companies with
draw. Mr. Guinn, Mr. Willet nor
anyone else, has told you why their
companies would withdraw except for
the mere fact that their companies can
not do what they desire in this state,
which is a poor excuse. As to my ef
fort to destroy competition, 1 will state
that my company lias, up to the pres
ent time, written three million of in
surance in this state, and I will further
state that neither Mr. Guinn's company
nor Mr. Willet's company will write
that much this year. Furthermore,
there are seven (7) life insurance com
panies chartered in Georgia, to say
nothing of the Southern and Western
companies operating in Georgia, many
of which are now operating under th<
Robinson laws of Texas. Therefore. I
will not have the field by myself if
the Eastern companies do withdraw. I
bad much rather see Southern compa
nies have the business than for our
countless millions to continue to pour
into the coffers of the East.
Mr. Willet states that they invested
in Georgia last year 150 per cent of
their reserve belongings to this state.
Mr. Willet does not. and will not. state
hat his company h is invested in Geor
gia securities as much as 75 per cent
of the reserve on insurance in force
in this state, because be knows that I
know it is not so. President Small, of
lhe Georgia Life Insurance Company,
of Macon, is misinformed when he
states that a reciprocal law in other
stales would affect our investments ac
cording to this measure. Suppose oth
er states required Georgia companies
| io invest in their securities 35 per cent
, >f ;he premium collected in that state.
I Wouldn’t that leave 65 per cent to be
brought over to Georgia and invested
in Georgia securities in addition to in
vesting 100 per cent of the premium
collected in Georgia'.’ Therefore, when
I we ask Eastern companies to invest 35
pet cent of the amount they collect in

■ >l>ked OU" of the most pleasing of
feimgs this house hss offered during
f this state in Georgia securities, we per-
■ mit them to take home 65 per cent to
• invest in home securities. Mr. Guinn
continues to explode that somebody has
got to pay for the six pages of ad-
t vertisement used in The Journal and
f The Georgian. This is true since I
j have assured both of these mediums
that they would receive my personal
, check for same, since my company had
nothing to do with it in the least. . I
did npt even ask the consent of my
• company to express my thoughts to the
people. Mr. Guinn continually insists
. that every tub must stand on its own
bottom, and that my efforts are to de- i
stroy competition. Then why not his
company, together with other Eastern
companies, do what we are doing and
’ operate under the same laws that we
operate under through preference? It
is a fact that overtures were made last
Thursday night that if we would with-
: draw this bill they would see to it that
. any objectionable feature to the general
: insurance bill and the “blue sky law
. of Kansas" bill would be stricken. Now
to make my position perfectly clear. I
will state under oath that I have writ
ten every state in the union for their
" insurance laws, realizing that our in
i surance laws at the present time are in- i
adequate. Furthermore. 1 wrote to Kan.
sas and obtained a copy of what is
known as the "blue sky law.” I have
’ urged my friends to pass these bills
if possible. Some of the members of
the judiciary- committee are among
, those that I ask to support this meas-'
ure. Now the only objection that I
have to the general Insurance bill is
■ that it is not nearly strong enough and
. does not fully protect the policy holders
of this state as it should. By no means
. does it afford the protection that the
compulsory deposit law of this state.
1 which we operate under, affords. Will
Mr. Guinn's company operate under this
same law in its home state? If not.
I why not? Therefore, if there is any
. tiling that they can do for us in the
passage of the general insurance bill
1 be sure that they made it stronger tn
■ every respect, especially as to the pro-
• tection of its policyholders in this state.
. As to the blue sky law, it will please
us very much to see it go through just
as it is.
1 The final appeal of the Eastern com
f panies is to its policyholders. As to
their sincerity. let’s see. When they in
vest at lower rates in Northern and
Western •securities the reserve which
belongs to Georgia and Southern pol-
I icyholders. are they doing their duty
, and conserving the best interest of
. their policyholders in this territory?
in other words, if we will pay them 7
' per cent for their money would they
, not return better dividends on our pol
; icies than by investing for less rate
r elsewhere? According to Colonel Ed
gar Watkins’ statement that the rate
of interest had advanced, how could the
- Eastern companies object to investing
s at least 35 per cent of their premium
t in Southern securities, providing we i
make them, without feeling inclined to 1
withdraw from our territory? Abso
lutely there is no argument oh their
1 side, and they know it. and the Geor-
- gians that represent them know it.
„ Their only recourse is their ’’brazen"
bluff, as Mr Guinn puts it

The Latch-String Is Out
In Atlanta
Atlanta wants to show you, if you will only
come, the way she keeps on growing, and she’s
a-growing some.
She’s going to put on record, in AUGUST’S,
FIRST TEN DAYS, a stunt that will surprise
you and fill you with amaze.
She’ll have an EXPOSITION of things she
makes to sell, and though she makes Five Hun
dred, there’s some YOU’D make as well.
It’s all in getting started, in knowing how to
go; then, when you’ve learned the secret, just
grow and grow and—GROW.
Atlanta’s invitation is cordial, wide and free.
She says to all of Dixie: “Come, neighbors, come
and see! I’ve got a lot to show you, my busy wheels
a-whir, my skilled and deft mechanics, my facto
ries’ hum and stir. I want to give you, neighbors,
an insight into facts; to show how dreams of
progress come true in useful acts.
“My goods, no doubt, you’re selling. Now,
surely, if you knew just HOW I MAKE these pro
ducts, you’d sell them better-true!
“You’ll take a greater interest in stuffs you’ve
SEEN produced, and mavbe GET IDEAS THAI'
WILL GO HOME TO ROOST.
“If I can help, I’ll do it. No strings are tied
to this I simply make an offer, ’twill pay vou
NOT TO MISS?’ ' '
Vacation in Atlanta? You sure can make it
pay. Three thousand folks are coming. Won’t
YOU decide today?
