Savannah Chamber of Commerce
Starts Probe to Prove Insur-
Dtscrlmination In Ga.
ance
BY JAMES B. NEVIN.
The Clty,®f Savannah, through Its
Chamber of Commerce, has started
an investigation into the question of
fire .Insurance rates that may termi
nate in the State Insurance Depart
ment. if not in the Legislature It
self. . _
The primary purpose of the inves
tigation will be to determine whether
the City of Savannah is being dis
criminated against in the matter of
rates now prescribed by the Routheas?
tern Tariff Association, which has its
headquarters in Atlanta. In shap
ing its conclusions, the Savannah
trade body will employ ..statistics
gathered from all over the nation.
If rates In Savannah are found to
be excessive ip the Judgment of., th*
Savannah Chamber of Commerce’ ln-
qulryg will be made as to excessive
rates throughout all Georgia. And
If the Chamber finds that Georgia is
being unfairly treated In this matter,
the case against the tariff body will
be carried before the State Insurance
Department, and it may be that Leg
islative relief will be sought.
The Savannah Chamber will em
ploy numerous Insurance expertH to
investigate conditions, Rnd expects to
be put to considerable expense In
making its probe thorough and com
plete. The question is a broad one,
of course, and the Chamber of Com
merce expresses Its determination to

ment. There Is nothing of the spec
tacular in him. He is not wordy
and tiresome as are so many others
who hold responsible offices. His
record speaks, and Lee has sense
enough to know it will do all the

One hears this talk of Lee for Gov

quently. Whether Mr. Lee has a
gubernatorial ambition and has ex
pressed It himself, It Ik a fact that
he has many friends who view the

A member of the Legislature who

figures for the Legislature's consider
ation with respect to the hydrophobia
situation In Georgia.. - .
Between the first "of, January and
the first of May, this year, 392 cases
of hydrophobia have been treated In
Georgia. In 1912 there were 673
cases treated.
So far this year there have been
13 cases in Savannah. .84 In Atlanta.
3 In Amerlcus, 4 In Coi»mbiis and 2
In Douglas.
These figures, so th" Georgia Med
ical Society hopes, will go far lb-
ward convincing the Legislature of
the great necessity of a dog mui-
ziing law.

ture only about one month away, ill -

growing every day.
The hotel lobbies are well Riled dai

ture,' while almost entirely made up
of new material, has mapaged to get

It Behooves Wall Street and Its
Affiliations to Reform Some
of Its Ways,
By B. C. FORBE9.
Certain Happenings have come to
my ears which demand thi* warningi
Broker®— members of the Stook
Exchange, as wall as non-members
—had better refrain from taking
advantage of Innocent ceetomers
who come to buy, or sell, securities
not dealt In on the Exchange.
If a person enters a store and
bond -or a stook, the broker is not
entitlsd to say the price is $40 If
the regular price is $30,
If an Investor wants to buy a
bond or a stock, the broker is not
entitled to say the price is $98 if
the ourrent prloe is $96.
“Fleecing”—in stronger language,
swindling—has been indulged . in
oven-frequently for some time.
If it Is not ohsoked, the penalty
will have to be paid.
The public cannot be fooled all
the time.

Opportunities for filching dishon
est “commissions M or “edges” from
the publio have been very frequent
for months owing to the com par a
tivoly large volume of business done
off the floor of the Stock Exchange.
Standard Oil subsidiaries, Tobacco
shares and the bonds and stocks of
companies not recognized by the Ex
change have brought hundreds of
thousands of dollars to brokers whose
operations were not those of brokers
—as they ought to have been—but of
speculators who did not hesitate to
deal unfairly with clients.
* • •
When a customer engages a broker
whom he believes to be a man of
honor to buy a stock or a bond he
expects the broker to pick it up at
the lowest possible price and to
charge the recognized commission for
the service. If the broker is offered
the desired security at $100 is he
playing fair if he tells his trusting
client that the security cost $102 or
$105.
* * •
When I say that flim-flamming of
this kind has been and is being prac
ticed those familiar with the inner
workings of Wall Street—not Stock j
Exchange—operations will not offer a
denial.
* * *
In the advanced countries of
Europe a broker must be a broker
and nothing else. He must buy and
sell securities on a commission basis.
So far American brokers and “bank
ers” have enjoyed the widest latitude
in dealing with the public. Laws are
now being brought forward to regu
late Stock Exchange dealings, but
brokers not affiliated with the Ex
change can do as they please. This j
wide privilege is being abused in a
manner that means retribution. Let
wrongdoers hug no delusion on that
score. The mills of the gods may
grind slowly, but they grind.
* * *
The whole Wall Street community
and its affiliations are entering a
period of probation. It behooves them
to act honestly and circumspectly.
The sins of some will bring punish
ment on the heads of all.
• • •
A He brokers aware I wonder, how
little they are trusted by the public
at large? Do they realize in what
slight esteem they are held? I con
fess that first-hand experiences on
this subject have caused me to feel
sad—at first sad. but later indignant,
for certain revelations have foroed
me to ask whether the reputation at-
taohing to brokers as a class has not
been earned by the gross misdeeds
of some.
* * *
* The Hearst papers are now deluged
with letters from seourity holders as
well as from prospective purchasers.
There is evidenced a deep distrust
of brokers. .“Please advise me what
to do,” runs the tenor of many com
munications, “for I know you have
no axes to grind and that your advice
will be honest.”
* * *
To-day’s appeal to all classes of
brokers to give the public a fair deal
is not, be assured, uncalled for, nor
does it apply exclusively to conditions
in Wall Street.
