ton, Mr.. Vincent believes to be the
division Of profits according to trade
after providing interest on capital and
q reserve fund. The safe reserve. he
considers very important. It is not
good business to pay out all the profits
every year. f5s IA
Speaking Of dividends on trade. he
told, OF one OF their branches which
paid a trade dividend equal to what
would have been SO per cent on the
capital stock in addition to the 12
per cent allowed to capital. In an
other session when the trade dividend
principle was discussed, instances Of
still higher stock dividends were Civ
en- and the sentiment In favor OF divid-
ing surplus according to patronage
proved general
Mr.. vincent declared patronage
dividends the greatest Of trade pull
ers. by curing disIoyalty, composition
is almost eliminated where they prac-
tice II. In addition II insurcs abso-
lutte Justice. Mr.. Vincent has secured
the embodiment OF this principle In
Nebraska law. They are now going
to experiment with half dividends TO
s1on-rnembers.
Mr.. Vincent, from wide experience
as a shipper, gave the following adj
vice: s. 81; Il
l.. Send, with a bill of lading, a
sworn certificate of weight.
2. Put wire tracer after each car
at once to push 1t, especially II the
grain is defective. Make the request
in writing as basis for damage
claims in case of need. 53S
3. When houses are blocked for
lack of cars, put requests for cars in
writing, keeping duplicate. This Is
basis for claims in case of declins
in price or deterioration.
