THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUN SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1874. . . GRAIN-WAREHOUSING. Views of Prominent Board of Trade Men, TEey Discuss'th_a Subject with Great Fullness. Conduet of the Busimess in Chicago and Elsewhere. Benefifs and Evils of the Present ~ Wareheuse Law How the Integrity of. Grain Receipts - Cen Be Best Seoured: Railroads Must Be Held Responsible for Quantity and Quality. All Overplus Should -Go to the State. 4 Right of the Legislature to Fix Stor- age Charges. The Present Rates Are Higher than Necessary. A Reduction Would Be Beneficiel to Producers and Warehousemen, Friday ‘evening & reporier of Tre TRIDUNE dropped into the offica of Bobert Warron, Eea., and found that gentleman in conversation with C. E. Culver and A. M. Wright. As all of them are -prominent members of the Board of Trade of this city, and lergely ergaged in tho produce ‘brsiness, he thought it would b s good oppor- tunitz to goinan cxpression of their viewson the questions of carrying and warehousing grain. They sigaified they bad an hoar to gpare, and the following conversation ensned : DEFECTS OF THE WARSHOUSE STSTEX. Reporter—What do you thinkare the principal dofects of our present warehouse eystem ? Wo hove, in the first place, aperson in the country who gends his grain to tbe railroad com- peny; the railroad compauy is supposed not to sweigh it, bus to bill it on his weights. It comes in here and the railroad company delivers it to ¢ho warchouseman, and be receives it and mixes it with other grain, and is able, if he dces rot do it in !l cases, to escapotho zosponsibility for de- livering the same quontity. In either caso, if fhe grain be delivered when called for, in quan- tity and in quality as it was put into the were- house, then it is alleged that the swarchousemen have very oftan used fho properts for tho urpose of bearing the markat agaioet fhe in- {‘erests of the persons who own the grain; snd that they have sometimes acted in that way to such an esteat us to jeopardize the Tights of the grain-owners, and make if scem uncertain whetker thay will be ablo to get their property, —tho uncertainty being 5o great sometimes thet tho owners of grain bavo noé been able to horrow money on the paper that certifies that they own #o much grein. New. thoso ero the woinls, gentlemen, on which THE TRINUNE would Fia 6 toar sour on TEEOVE THE BYSTEM. Ar. Warren—We bad better lay the ' defects aside, and talk abunt 8_botter wa of doing tho businegs. I am inclined to % that Milwaukeo is getting the advautage of us by their preeent syrtem~—making the railroad companies respon- sible for tho recoipts, they baving tho manage- meut of the elevators. THE MILWAUEEL FASTION. Reportor—Since how long hes that been the enga? Mzr. Warren—Some timo Iast fall, T think, Roporter—For how long had Angus Emith & ilwankoe ? 3r. Warren—3fy impression Is that they had a ien yenrs’ loege and o renewsl, and at its expi- ration tho railroad companies Lad the right to nke the elevators at a valuziicn, and they have taken them ail. Reporter—Durirg the timothat Mr. Smith run the warehousing busimess there, wero therenot frequent, complaints mado of his menagoment ? Ar. Warron—Complaints were mede, but they were not frequcni—regarding grading. They =ore not mnde publicly ; there may bave been private complainte. CONPITING POINTS. Mr. Wnght—Thero were complaints among the shippers from Milwanki end complaints have been quito common from rections whera there hias been no compefition with Chiczgo, It was complained that their grain was graded low- er to counterbalanco the inferior stuff that eame in from points competing witl this city. Reporfer—>Montion & place that s a competing Point and another that is not. 3fr. Wright—Grain raised ip Northern Towan ean como to cither Chicago or Milwaukoo ; also that raiged in parts of Minnesots and Wisconein. Put there are portions of innesota,—~for in- stance, on the lines confrolled by the Ailwaukeo & f3t. Paul Railroad, where there is no compe- tition, except at the railroad crossings. I know complsinte havo frequently been mads at those points, that grain Lias been graded low in order o grade up the grein {hat comes from compet- ing poiuts. ) TRoporter—That is, grain that cannot be sent to Chicago must go to Milwankoo, and when it is received there the Inepectors Tate it s being of 2 lower grade than it 1eally i ? 3r. Wright—Yes. HIGHER GRADING AT WILWAUKEE. Reporter—And grain tixat is reccived in Ail- waukee from points whero it conid be sent to Chicazo has been rated as belonging to s higher grade? = Efr. Wright — That is the complaint. Of course I do not speak of it as s fact. -It may bo & guspicion only. S Wamen—1 shipped_from Milwankee four yoars, 2nd had no complaiuts, except aboitt_ona ‘cargo, doring that timo; end Ishipped s large quantity—sonetimes four cargoes a day. Reporter—A complaint from the consignee ? Mr. Warren—~Yes. E Reporter—A comparizon hes been medo be- fween the elevators in Milwankee and those in “Chicago. It hns often been aileged that nothing like tho practices of Dunn & Scott bave ever ‘been met with there; but have there not been cases in Milwaukee where vessels have been sent around to the elevators with receipte. snd it was found that there wasno grsin in tho hoases %o put into those clovators? Alr. Warren—There was one instance of that #ind which I know of myself ? - CHIEF DIFFEREXNCES. Peporter—The clief difference thon between the warehoues management of the two cities in that respect would seem to be that the néws- papers of Chicego hava published the facts, and thc newepapers of 3lilwaukee have cithar not been -aware of the facts, or have sup- pressed them. 3 ® . Warren—In the instance I mentioned, I was informed the grain wes on tho Mie River, and that it was got in 83 soon as possible, but the vessels had to wait there at the elevators to pot it. = ir. Wright—It has been the practice there to jesne warenouso receipts for grain that is in the hands of the tnikn:\;i cowpeaies st the com- sting shipping points. B o B‘:gorm?fizk;d the paper might chango handa o os before the fran actually reached the elu‘\"uoi ;_ e M, Wri es. 5 gpurt:rg—mt wag done in Chbicrgo alzo, I beliove, before the passage of the Taroad snd Warehonse law 2. ] h Fr. Wright—Yes. Grain was ehipped snd re- ceived by the Northwestern Railway at Fulton and other competing points, end receipis were jsemed before tho grain resched here—while it was on its way bere. Mr. Cn\verzn was'inepected on board the cars thi - 'ENFOECE THE PRESENT LAW. 2r. Warren—In my opicion tho best woy to guard the ieterests of tho trade wonld be to en- 2 running the grain warchouse business - force the preseni Warehouse law as strictly as poseible, 60 that no receipt could be issued for grain not actually in store here. ISSURAS > Mr. Culver—Hosw docs that practice alfect in- surance £ Ar. Warrca—It aff rance neriously. Ar. Culver—Will you explzin in what Wway 2 A, Warren—We instre fora cortain amount of grain, based on the receipts we hold. If that araid 1 Dot in storv, in cage the grain is_burnad up; and the receipts are cajied in, ns -in Hugh Maher's case, it 1 a rantter of litigation with the ingurance companies. Ir. Calver—1 was informied, I an iusurance agent who rey Eastern companics, Lha of him if jt was a fact © ment confined the to grain actually in them it He ¢ summer, by onted first-cinss cors pad inquired sat Caicago werehomse- ing of recelpts , and told iven he autlorized 3 wag to take risks in Chieago olevators,—his com- | panies, by the was, Laving withdravn’ their bus- ness from the city for {he reason that tho warchousemen lad issued receipts for grain which was not in storc. At feast it wRs 50 re- ported. Inless than ten dav: afier ho assured the companies of the fact that thoy were not is- suing the receipis, the fuwclscams out nbout Hough issuing thewm, and the insurance agent came to moin o great state of excitemeat, be- cause -ho hed misled his companics, aud said “I will not met for any com for I beliove tho elevatora here urs i for grain when they hisve nob ot - opens the wsy for so much {raud upon the com- pauses, TMPROVING GRAIN-PAVER. Alr. Warren—The intercets of tho frado re- quire that grain-paper shonld be well secured ; sad. if we get the indorsement of the railway companiee, o8 they have in Milwaukee, it will be vastly improved. We should also fix the liabi of tle railroads, a5 comumon carriors, ta_give 2 receipt for the weight and to deliver the weights here—to tally out—and not look to the owner to be respongible for tho shortaga when the grain arrives in New York or whercver olse it goes. SEOBTAGE. Reporter~Do you not think that the matter of shortage might bo covered protty closoly and clearly if it wero provided that any overplus that might acerue in & grain warchougo ehould go to the State. in the samo way that the valuo of losé or burned National Bauk mofes go into tho Tnited States Treasurr, their value not inuring to the bank issuingthom ? A 3fr. Warren~—I think that a capital idea. 3Mr. Wright—Tho overplus does not belong to the warehousemen. The people bave s botter claim to it than any ope individaal Reportor-—I that wero done ; if there were no object in_shaving, it would not be resorted to extensively 2 r. Warren—TYes ; and veseels or ears Joading at the elevators weuld be likely to get all the grain that was called for by the receipts. WEIGHING GRATN. Reporter—If that were tho case it would nof be generally understood. as Mr. Stephen Clary gaid it ie, when Lo testified bofore the Investi- gating Committee, © That the man who could Bot savo a little in’ bandling several millions of bushels of grain was not fit for the place; and ought to be diecharged.” This question of weights i3 at presont 2 mixed one. The officers of somo of the railroads eay that it would be utterly impossible for them to setup scales at every station where they receive grain for the purposo of weighing it when delivered to them; and they also claim, I understand, that it would pe equally impracticable for {hem to weighall the grein when it is recelved at ihe warehoases in this city. r. Wright—Do they state why? Reporior—Yes ; on acconnt of 1bo immenso ex- pensc of putting up the scalesat tho way-ste- tions, and because of the Lindrance it wonld be to their handling cars. ) Mr, Wright—They build depots and tanks and furnish all the necessary appliances for doing the business they were chartered to do : that is, elf except in this case, wherein the public aro ihe losers, and they ths gainera. That is the point. Thoy would do it if their intoresfs de- manded it. JAKE THE RAILEOADS WEIGR IT. Reporter—Does it not seem to you then, that the oaly way to secure to the grain-owner the quantity of grain which he sends forward is to requiro the railroad companies to weich the grain when they recoive it, and to hold them re- sponsible for the delivery of tho same weights £0 the person who Lolds the receipts when it gets to ita dastination ? Ar. Wright—That is the key to the whele mat- ter. Reporter—3ir. Culver, pleaso givo us your views on this subject. 3ir. Culver—2Iy views mpon this subject were quite fally expressed in tho recent annual report to the members of the Board of Trade which T presented in bohalf of the Directors. You will remeraber I referred to the law requiring roil- | roads ju this Stato to weigh grain rocerved for traneportation sud deliver what is received, and T expresaed the opinion the the enforcement of the low musf result in greater benefit to pro- ducers and businees meu than theeuforcement of moro recent enaciments relating to rail- roads. Let me say further, I have ‘boou indirectly inforgned that the railroad ofi- cials in this city have bad under advizement . plans for complying with this law in case the Railrosd and Warchouse Commitsion demanded such compliance. Their oficials ndmitted the justice of the law, but it is nob likely thoy will comply wtth it antil compelled to do 8o by pubhic opinion or by the Commissioners, A prominent elevator proprietor did, wichin a very few days, tell me that he was very desirous to have the Railrond Companics adopt the enstom of issuing clean bills of lading—or, in other words, give re- ceipts for definite amounts of grain . and pay for what was short. He entertained tho Dbelief that wuch of the complaint about short weights was without good reason. I then asked him if it wasnot to be expeczed that ns long as husi- Dess was conducted by rairoads £& at prosens, bonest warehousemen would be sccused of re- turning dishonest weights. Hesnid yes, and I want this thing put,in euch ehapo that therecan be no such charges. Imention this from the fuct that many believe the warchoueemen are sccretly opposed to Tailroads adopting the cus- tom grain-receivers aud shippers desire. Afr. Warron—And it is & question to mowheth- er the railroad companics would not be the gein- ers, notwitbstanding the expense_they might be put fo in procuring ecales, by coilecting on the quantity of grain received, instead of, ag is fre- quentiy dono, taking & certain number of pounds per car,—2,000 or $,0:0 pounds moro than the etandard car-load of 20,000 pounds,—which thoy carry for nothiog. Mr. Wright—ihst dees not apply to zrain un- Joeded biere ; it may aply to grain shipped from Chicago and not weighed here—shipped throngh to Eastern pointe. AMr. Warren—They collect on the elevator ‘weights hero ? Mr. Wright—Yes, except for bagged grain ; there is some chance for froud there. Buta Tuilroad company basno business to take any kind of properts, subject - to the_contingencies OF sccident, ospecialiv without krowiog bow mucl: property they have received, Tnat is my idea of it; that these scales aro jnst es much neceszary appliances for the transaction of their business as station-houses, and water-tanks, and station-ageats. RESTONSIBLE FOI THE GRAIN, Reporter—Then ought they not to be respon- sibla fortho custody of the grain until itis actually delivered to the person calling for it ? Alr. Wright—I will angwer that 1n this way: Protty nearly every business-man can gee the point fo thet, bat our Supreme Court cannot. The Bapremo Court s2ys that the moment the g is dumped into tho elovator the responsi- bilit of the railway compauy ceases and the resrmnsihilily of the receiver commences, not- withstanding the receiver bas o opportunity of knowing anything abont wiren' the grein resches 1be clevator, and does not kuow where his grain +is groing to be unlosded. Tieporter—Has the Supreme Court made that degision ? 2Ir. Wright—Yes; and that is what stands in tEo way of our collecting for grain burned at the time of the fire—grain that wo could ot get out of tha warebouse, and I think that thore ought to be an act of the Legislatare making the rail- road companies respansible for the grain until & reasonahle timo after it awives, #o that tho ship- r msy have an opporiunity to protect himself. any legislation is nceded now it is that. THE FRESENT SYSTZA. Mr. Culver—You undersiand Low our present gystem works, do you not? Reporter—les, but the publiz do not. Mr. Culver—Vill you oxplain, Mr. Wright, how the procass is aobdacted ? Ar. Wright—Tho grein eomes in, aud the compenies cleim shey are not obliged fo givo potice. The grain arrives here, say, ia tho after- noon, no notico of the fact being given, and the commission merchant seads to the fraight offica to pay his freight bills. He is informed by tbo clerk that they havo no property for him. ~The vext morning bo goas to the same clerk and poys tbo bills, sad they ars evi- dence to him that {he grain Loy been received by tho closstors. Now, then, according to thia decision of the Sn‘premu Court the responeibility of tho receiver of that grain, the conaignoe, comwenceo at the time it was put in stere, and et he had been informed by the railrond company th:at be had no proparty here. How it he going to insure that grain and protect himself in caso of fire, when ba is informed that it is not Liers, although 1t has heen received and is in store? 5 Boporter—In case it is burned up, Beiss oser:? JMr. Wright—According to the decision of the Supreme Court tho loss is his. Lieporter—And it would bo a total loss, ss he bad no ineurance? Jr. Wright—Yea. This decision was rendered when people were uncharitablo eaough to think that :be railrond companics had more 1nfluenco with the Supreme Court than the peo- plohad. Perhaps, if tho Supremo Court were not-nitogether bonnd up in- precedents; some new light might - bo les 10 now, Ido.nat know whether the lighttha farmers aro créating will penosrate the veil of precedent, us its an opea question vet. Faid Mr. Culver—As £oon o8 grain s sent to the clovators it is inspested and unloaded, bit Ll raifrond poopla do mot make ont: their freight Dills until after they heve had returns of the weigiits from the clevatora, and the clevators do not make tho_returns until the day Iollowing tho arrival of the grain. Wo may havo to-d; twenty cars o into au clevator, and wh call of the raitrosd. offico sud ask if thore is any grain consigned to us they will say thoy have none, for the reason that thov have 1ot received the retirus of the weights from the elovator. CItOICE OF ELEVATORS, 3r. Warreu—Iave you any choico of eleva- torn when you aro notified that the grain has ar- rived, or are you compelled to have it unloaded at the elevator whigh. the ruilroad - company desirnates ? s i Mr. Culver—Thp railroed companies and tho warchousemen elect where Lo grain shall be unloaded, 2nd not the receiver. Mr. Warren—and yet there is no responsivility attached to the reilroad company for the grain they have deposited in the clevator ? Mr. Wright—None whatover, Mr. Culver—Wo canoot tell whore our grain is unlorded until wa get -the receipts, and wo do not get thom until the day following the arrival of the grain; sometimes not nntil 2 week sub- sequently,—iho woights of ‘the car will be over- looked, sud no roturn made to tha railroad com- g s or, perbaps, the railroad clerk will ovor- it. ok it. r. Wright—TWo lost twonty car loads, mostly wheat at the time of the fire, in just thst way. ‘We could not insure it, becauso we knew noth- in(iz about it, . Reporter—It was not on the track, but had all gono into the warchouse? Mr. Wright—Yes. It went in in an unprece- dently short time sfter it was shipped. It eoemed incredible that it could have got here and been unloaded. The expedition with which it reached hero and was ucloaded and receipted for was remarkable. e knew nothing about it, utill we were led to believe that it would be nse- lesa to press the cage before-the Supreme Court, because they had already decided parallel cases agaivst us. BEDRESSING THF WRONG. Reporter—Hotw can that wrong be redressed ? Ar. Wright—It can' only be redressed by an act of the Legjslature. Toporter—To what intent ? TAEISG RATLEOADS RESPONSTILE. Mr. Wright—Making the railroad companies respousible for the property, antil they give notico of the quantity of gram and whero it is toloaded, £o that we can cover it. The Reporter—Tho railroad companies shonld be held responsible until the consignea here has actually received notico of the arrival of the grain, ond thet it is at his service when he calls for i, so that ho can bo aware of lis responsi- ity Mr. Wright—Yes. : Mr. Culver—Duo diligenes in farnishing the notification would, perbaps, bo all that is neces- sary. LESGTT OF TDIE. 3ir. Warren—The next question is, How long ehould tho railrond company be held responsi- blo, if they desiguato the houso with which it'is deposited, for tho eafe delivery of the grain from that house, in quantity aud’ quality, Mr. Wright—If the receiver, hero hes mno choice 28 to whero tho grain shall go, and it may gatoons of-several pinces, the rajirosd com- pany taking the arbitrary liberty with that prop- erty to put it whore it ploases without consalt- ing the owner or consignee. it seems to me tho company ought to be responsible for the safa delivers of the property. Mr. Warroc—As long as it msy remain in store ? Mr. Wright—For n rezsonsblo time—rllowing the ownor or consignae to take avey the grain, i Do is not eatisfied with the disposition made of it. But then, sgain. a man ought not to ba com- pellad to bare his property put where he is obliged to remove it. It is a part and parcel of the railronds’ duty to furnish fecilit~ ties for doing bucincss, If they i not allow people to build sterelionses and -lay trocks connecting with theso roads, respopsibility should bo attached £o them for Tunning property whore its owners ara obliged to go for it, having no election whother it shall go there or to sowme other place. FREE LOSNECTIONS OR FREE STORAGE. Raporter—Ought they not to ba obliged sitnor to make connection with any- house that wants to, if within nreasorable distance of theirtracks, or bo obliged to furnish free storage for a cer- tain length of time after the grain comes in, just a8 they furnish it for other proporty ? 3ir. Wright—That is what is wanted. Mr. Culver—Yee, ther-ought to do so. The business of transporting and storing grainis so intimately connected that it should be the duty of the railroad corapanies to provide storage for s certain length of time for the property—for ~ain in bulk as well as for all in bags—or flour in barrels without oxtra charge. Revorter—And in no case to mako a charge antil ihe owner or his representative has had 2 rteasonzble time in which to tako it out of their control, if he wants to. TITE OLD CUSTOM. Mr. Wright—The Nerthwestern Railroad Com- pauy—it was the Galena & Chicago Union Road &t that timo—had on clovator hero to roceive grain arriving over their line, from which grain was delivered directly, and they charged, I think, & cent o bushel for the fist fivodaya. For grain rené:\ining longer, an sdditional charge was made. RBeporter—How long 8go was that ? Mr. Wright—It must hava been about 1838. TReporter—Beforo the amalgamation ? Mr. Wright—Yes. It was jn 1862 when this cotillion commencod. Mr. Calver—My impression is that the Rock TIsland Railroad built an elevator with the inten- tion of runping it in the same way, but it was af- terwards leased to Flint & Thompson. All this trouble wonld bo obviated if the rnilroad compa- nies had elevators to which the grain could bo ran. :\Fd the owners or consignees notified of its arrival. SECURITS FOE RECEIPTS. Beporter—Hosw much effect do you think that would have upon ths ability to borrow mouey upon the property, compared with the present condition of things? Imean, how mnch wonld it increasp tho fecling of gecurity on the part of money-lendors if the railroads were made re- sponsible instead of providing warahouses, Ar. Culver—That 18 & very difficult gnestion 1o answer, for many parties havo -unbounded confidence in the present elevator proprietors, and will take their receipts for any amount. Teporter—I understand there nre Eastern par- tics who havo objected to loaning money on warehouso receipts in Chicago, for the reason that thoy did not deem-the security sufiicient. Mr. Wright—There has not been so much ‘money &t the command of grait-owners us there would have been if the secarity had been deem- ed ample. Mr. Culver—If that first statement is correct it must be so. I don't know who it was, but it was #nid some one conld get n large amount of morey to loan, provided ho was satisfied that tho secnrity of these receipts was smple. Afr. Wright—I think the fact arose probably moro from the lack. of iuformation in regard to the responsibility of the warehonsemen and the safely of the system thon from eny actual defect, Afr. Cnlver—I think that is true.- The doubt 28 to tho security came from pereons who were ‘misinformed. Afr Wright—So far as =l our bauk interests are concerned, I think there is general confidence in the present proprietors, who are issuing any number of werehiouse roceipts. DISCRIMINATING AGATNST RECEIPTS. Reporter—But is it not a fact that, in the past, there have been -extensive discriminations erainst certain warchouse rensipts, which_ would not bave existed if the railrord companies hed been responsible 2 # AMr. Wright—That is undoubtedly so, and thero will be times in the foture when the same 2zck of confidence will exist. Mr. Culver—I had an experience of that kind oucc. Receipts for a quantity of corn were delivered to ns from a certain elevator in this city, snd wo intended to deliver it to another commission house. The house re- fused absolutely to recoive the paper, sud the reason assigned was that they doubted that the grain was in the warehouse. M, Wright—Thet state of things is liabls to occur at any time. We aro liable to Lave suex- plosion of a miue of which we Luow pothing. Alr. Culver—I had no dcubts myself, at the time, that the grain called for by the receipts was in store, 3Mr. Wright—Our courts have decided that the simple delivery of & warehouso receipt is not o good delivers, unless there is proof that tho grainis in the honso; the proc? must sccom- pany the receipt. THE DEST SECURITY NEEDED. 3Ir, Warren—To haye the trade here ou 8 solid .froight—bulk grain—to any road and mound basjs, the best security ahould be given for the delivery of the grain from tho ele- Yators ; then thers would be no questioning in tho Board 28 to whether or noba receipt was regular. Whetber this can be done by liccusing tho clesntor-men under the Stato 1aw, orrequiring them to give bonds to indem- nify the holders of tho reccipts, ie s question. LICENSING ELEVATORS, Mr. Calver—I noticed thai TieTRIBUNE, in an editorial recently, claimed that the requiring of a licenso wns an {uvasion of private rights, and that the security intonded to bo gawed by o lioonse -could be.obtained in some other-man- ner. Teporter—That was sbout the purport of tho article, Mr. Culver—Now I take issue with Tue Tain~ UNE on that. Br. Warren—So do I, Reporter—Pleaso state your position. Mr, Culver—It geems to mo to be an invasion of private rights for an individual compans, or combinationof companies to take property belong- ing to many differont parties, place it into store beyond the costrol, or even the identification of the ownera of it,without first having obtained lesve or license ‘from some - authority. What right have I to take’ grain_belonging to vou, to Mr. Wright, aod to_ Mr. Warren, and placo it iu one commod bin, so that you can- uot identily or ecparato your ~ property and haudle it ss I please, and charge what I plenss for 50 doing ? I cannot see how the rights of warehouseman aro invaded by according to him the authority, ander certain just conditions, restrictions, and roquirements, to recbive prop- erty from transportation companies belonging to differcnt, and perbaps unknown, patties, and of storing that property together in such man- ner thau the ownecrs cannot identify it. Thé security and protection of thoso o, by the Decessitios or nature of their business, sro compelled to cousent to this manner of storing of grain, require the axaction from public ware- housomen cortain requircments, and I cannoy seo auy invasion of rights iu prokibiting waro- housemen. from rcceiving and mixing grain of differont owners without their will- ing consent, and without compliance, on the part of the warchousemen, with reasonable requirements sod penalties that may bo_proscribed by a law that provides for and re- quires the jssuc of license before doing busi- noss a8 public warchouscmen. If the grain of each owner was kept seperate and distinct by iteclf, or if the owner was at liberty to storo with whom or whon ho might elect, snd upon such torms a8 ho could best bargain for, as is the'case with other property and owners of it, thon the case would be far different from the one wo are considering. Mr. Wright—To prevent disreputable or irre- sponsible persons from doing that you would Tequiro a licensc. g 3Mr. Calver~That is if. 3fr. Wright—That noperson shonld be allowed to do that except such as the Judges of the Su- preme Court might approve of. BEITER GUABANTEES. Reporter—Qur position was simply that that w3 n side ivsao ;+that more material guaran- teca than a license could be furnished and ought to bs furaished. . Mr. Culver—What are they ? hnc;mner-l would rather you would argue that. * Mr. Culver—My opinion is that it is not safe or desirablo to depend solely upon bonds to se- care holders of warehouse roceipts. It is o pretty difticult matter to make a bond that will really afford protection when tested. Bonds are all rightin theory and when averything is lovely,— but in time of triel somehow or other thoy don't bind. TRoporter—Will yoube kind enough_ to eay what would be the best form of security ? Mr. Wright. I must say that the pragent law requiring the warehouses to procure & license is the best. & FIXING RATES BY LAW. Reporter—Have not the warehousemen géner- ally signified their willingness to_take ot a li- cenee If the clanse of tho lnw fixing their rates of ntorage were repesled 7 Mr. Culver—I have been repeatedly told so. Reporter—What do you think of the advis- ability of repealing that section ? Mr. Culver—Thero are two sides to that ques- tion. 3r, Wright—This secas to ba & kind of gen- eral conversation. , Teporter—That is what I intended it to be. Mr. Wright—State the question again. TReporter—What do you thinlk of the advisabil- ity of nrging o repeal of the section, £o 28 to re- movo the objection which the warehouse men Dosy have to taking out & license ? Mr. Wright—Do you mean simply for the pur- pose of romoving (hat objection, of as a qucstion of ganeral policy ? Boporter—As s auestion of generel policy. Mr. Wright—Wel, so long as the warchonse busioess is continued hero as it is, under a sys- tem of force (if you may call it u0), the receivers and owners of grain heving no election where their grain shall Ro—having no control over it— I cannot seo thut the elovator men hove sny Tight to complain if they sre required to.take out a license nndor the provisions of the act. Reporter—And to comply wilh tho rates ? Mr, Wright—And to sccept the compensation allowed. Sofaras fixing the compensation is concerned, I Delieve that thisisono of those cases whero tho Legislature hasclearly,the right to fixit. The elovator at tho end of every rail- road i8 & tollgute, and the proprictors reqdire & toll on every bushel of grain that goes into store. And, 28 we have no choice sbout it, it gcems to mo it i3 one of the perauve duties of our Logislature to see that we are mnot obliged pay exorbitant toll. Exorbitant toll cannot ba’exacted of the people who take grist to the mill. In that caso thoy have the election of going to one mill or another. And as Judge Breezo states in his de- cision, that tho right to regulate the weight sad price of a loaf of bread is granted to Legislatures -ander the English common law ; wo have as- sumed the right in all of our constitutions. Cortainly, if we have the right to regulate the weight of » lonf of bread and the prico at which it ghall be sold, it is no_strotch of au- thority to assume that wo hase the right to reg- ulats the involuntary tolls that we are obliged to pay ot the elevator for tho reception of our grain. NO COMPETITION. Reporter—If the monopoly were removed, what wonld you say as to the advissbility of “limiting the rates of storago—that ig, if the rail- road egmpanies were obliged to allow sny houso to take the grain? Alr. Wright—JIf the railroad compsznies would in good faith ailow competition on their lines, T believe it would be inexpedient to catablish any such rates, becuuse I believe that all legislation of the kind is inexpodient whenever any of thoso questions can bo decided by any other metliod— by the laws of competition, by the laws of trade. But in this case they do mnot have sny chance at all There is no competifion, and the laws of trado have no effect, and will nob govern, and, .consequently, the Legislature must step in and do the governing. It would not, to my mind, be an unconatitutional act for them to do it. When it comes down to the point of having compotition in good faith, it will bo time to ¢ about tho expediency of sbolishing that com- pensation cf:nne. Bat we have not reached thet. The Legislaturo has been trying to reach it, but the Supreme Court steps in, and, in the casc of Hompstead, ssys that railroad com- panies shall not be compelled to deliver grain to warchouaes which aro remote from their tracks, but to those only which are directly on their tracks, while the railrond companies can deliver all kinds of parcel freight and § hrol:fifi n city, and sllow their cars to leavo their tracks; they canuot allow their cars | to come in here and bo ualoaded at_elevators in different parts of tho city. When the Supreme Counrt says that, how aro we going to got around it? Dractically, we con have no competition under their deoision. We bave the Supreme Conrt to fight ana the railrosds to figat, and tho Legislatare cannpot fight the Supremo Court. The farmers may fight them, and bring them to time eventually. UE. CULVER'S VIEWS. Mr. Culver—If the Legislature has the right torequireof public warchouscmen the procure- ment of a licenso before they shall traneact bnst- ness a8 pubiic'warebonsemen, I do not see why the Legislature cannot nzme the conditions upan which the license should be granted,—the penal- ties for it violation,~snd if thia ig 80, why can- 1ot the reasonable mazimum rates of compensa- tion for storngo of grain, as anthorized, be made onoof the conditions or provisions of thelicense ? Thera is nothing in tholaw that compels s man to act as o public warehongeman, but the law provides for those who wish to act as public warchousemen, snd take my grain and your grain, and that of others, aa it arrives by rail- roads, and takoe possession of it. and place in one common receptacle, g0 that the ideutity of it cannot be prescrved. I dopot understand the law to fix rates to be charged by private ware- housemen.or that oy man is debarred from stor- ing grain in private warehouses on ferms that may be sgreed upon. Teporter—What do you think of rates estab- lished by the jaw? Air. Calver—Thoy are not such as I would havo named. The rates now charged by elevator companiea_are, I believe, generally considered just and fair The legal maximurm rates are 2 cents per bushel for the first thirty days or part theroo?, sud 3 cont for gach suz ing £1teon doye, for patt thereof, afieT the A:E iwenty days, with provision for extra storage in certain cases. The rates now charged are 2 cents for the firat twenty days or part thereof, and 3¢ cent for each sucieoding ton daya or part there- of; but_tho rates charged for winter storage, or from Nov. 15 to April 15, arcless than the Jocal rateg. Although the bill for this Warhouse law, or that portion of it ywhich relates towarehouses, was prepared by the Directors of the Board of . the section that ralates to rates of com- pensntion was opposed by the Directors, and especinally by Secretary Rardolph, who, I-under- stood, favored the rates that are now charged. “The Jaw was passed during the Presidency of 8, H. McCrea. 1 was not s membor of the Doard of Dircctors at that time, and ouly speak from hearsay. Tuporter—Do you think it good policy for the Legiclature to fix the rates of storago-? Alr. Culver—There are’ two answers to that question. 1In the first placo, wlen the rate was fixed by lawr, that chargod by elovators wes con- sidered exorbitant. They charced for second storage,—that is, after the first tventy days—1dc for eech five dayw, although at a former period their rates wers asmow, but taeir persistency in charging 34e for extra storago czch five days wos generally considered outrageous, and I bave no doubt bad its effect op the Legialature in its fizing rates of storage. On’ the other hand, the fixing of rates by tho Legislature has the effect to deter capitalists from iuvosting mones in eloyator-property. TFor the argument is that, if tho Legislatare can nzme any rate, they are quite Likely to name one which skiall prove Unremuncrative; and capital, ever distrpstful, will not eeek investments that are lable to be made muoproductive by legisletive ecnoctmonta. Every winter's experieuce demonstrates the necd of more stor- age roomin thiscliy. Even last fall, when navigation was open, tho warehouses. becamo so crowded that canal boats had towait wecks for a place (0 unloed. Any legislation _that permits the building of elevators here has the eame effect upon the interests of producers and- tho trsde of this ity 8s does that legislation which prevents the construction or completion of railroads centering hero—dis astrous in the axtreme. Tho power of tho Loeg- islaturo to do o thing, and the policy of exercia- ing that power, are two different things. Iam, on general terms, opposed to the Legialaturo sttempting to do what the .feople, in their mdividual capacity, can do far better. I believe that the elevator proprictors of this city, in tho light of past exporicnce, will see that it Is for their interest to charge for_storage no [moro than reasonable rates, and I should be ‘glad to ree them mako storage, say, for first 10 ays 13c, for each succoeding 10 days or part thereof 3de per bushel As & class farmers " receive no benefit from a low rate for long etorage. The smaller the first - storsge, tho better for tho roducers. But after the property gots into the hauds of the speculator, he, and not the former, is effected by rates of Btorago charged. Not ono {armer in a hundred holds his grein in Chicago more than ten dsys, and a8 for 83 my observa- tion extonds, coantry deslers who soll their grain on arrivel in Chicago make the most money 28 & e GENEBAL AGRERMENT. Tho gentlemen conversed at some length on tho point made by the last spoaker. They agreed thet it would be best for the warehonse- men, for tho farmer, and tho traders of this city, ‘that the first storage bo made short and cheap. The lazge quantities of grain that go round Cli- cago, directly to the East, do 2o principally be- cause the shippers avoid our storsge charge. If that were made less, the advantage offered by Chicago 83 & market, in which produce can al- ways bo bought or ecdd, in sa small or large quantitics as may be desired, would fully conn- terbalance the éffect of such small rate. ica- o is tho pafural grain _market of the West, and would be universally rosorted to as such, were it not for the short-sighted policy of our warchousemen. Thowe gentlomen must re- member, bowever, that while they may sncceed in_perpotnating & monopoly of the business in this city, they cannot cut off competition on the pars of the world zround them, and must rocog- nize that fact if they would retain and increase the grain-handling business. —_— Cancer.
