SHOULD CALL LEGISLATURE

We are not familiar with all of the phases of the nsur-
situation which the people Of the state face this
morning
We do not arrogate ourselves sufficiently thorough
knowledge of the question to comment all of its
ramificatons
But we do know that the situation is a serious one and
threatens to precpate situation in and business
that will be appalling and disastrous.
There certain underlying principles involved that
cannot be ignored
The insurance companies are withdrawing from Mssis-
sppi This decision reached at conference of the big
companies in New York yesterday.
Technically under the law the insurance companies may
be violating the law in the operation of the Mississippi Adj
vsory and Rating Bureau But the bureau is essential in
business complex the insurance business 1t merely
cooperative plan, by which rates on various forms and
types of risks determined.
The bureau determines these relative rates after ex-
hausve study and careful analysis 1t is expensive OPP
Grafton. If each company required to maintain its
rating facilities and organizations insurance rates would be
out of reach of account of the great expense
involved
That the rating bereau is perfectly legitimate and
fair way to determine atested by the fact that such
bureaus in states egazed and the rates fixed by
them are mandatory and certain restrictions and limitations
are put on them for the protection of the public.
Now the problem is to get the State out of the mess it
finds itself in this morning With business demoraized by
the withdrawal of insurance protection which the basis of
credit to farmers merchants and the people generally state
of chaos bound to develop banks will begin to withdraw
loans improved property because of the passing fire pro-
ection other obligations which sustained by insurance
protection will be called to account and Generalization
before known the annals of the State will follow the wake
of the action of the State Revenue Agent
The proper remedy for the situation, it would to
u.s. would be for the Governor to call extra session of the
Legislature for the purpose of relieving the present situation

AND WHILE AT 1T, THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD

Resolutions on the death Of Mr.. r.
II. Williams

| Our beloved president is with us nc
more. In the early morning hours of
December 18th, 1920, his spirit was
waited to the great beyond.
For fifty long years his strong
personality and financial genius was
a bulwark Of strength to this institu-
ton of which we are now directors.
His marked ability carried him step
by step from the lesser to the greater
posts Of responsibility, until SOME ten
years ago he reached the zenith of
achievement and as the president of
this bank, lived to see, and did much
to make it an institution more than
twice as large as 1t was when he as
sumed administrative dictatorship.
But 1t is not as the financier and
business man alone We would pay tri-
butte. His beautiful character, mod
est and retiring disposition, unselfish
and sympathetic friendliness, will
long be remembered by each of this
board, and by all who had the priv
lege Of calling him--friend.
To his noble, knightly, clustered
soul, we bid farewell and as token of
our appreciation be it resolved;
|. That in the passing of Mr.. R. T.
Williams, president Of the First
State Bank, of Columbus, Miss, this
institution has received a loss that
will be poignantly felt by all who
have business dealings with this bank.
2. That We the board of directors
will miss his steady hand at the helm,
and his wise and wholesome admoni.
tion on things financial.
8. That the grief of his family a:
his departure, is our grief, and that
we suffer with them, and sympathize
with them in their irreperable loss.
a. That page be set aside In our
minutes to commemorate his activity
in this bank, and that copy of these
resolutions be sent to his family.
Respectfully Submitted,
JAS. w. Lipscomb,
