PEOPLE HAVE LOST MIUIONS
OV INEFFICIENCY, SAYS
Atlanta, August 8.—State
E. P. Dobbs of Cobb county, in pur¬
suance of promises made in the an¬
nouncement of his candidacy for the
office of comptroller general of Geor¬
gia, has just given out the first of
several statements in which
charges William A. Wright, incumbent
in that office, with the responsibility
for huge losses of Georgians who in¬
vested their money in income, or guar
antee fund certificates issued by mu¬
tual insurance companies operating
upon the legal reserve basis.
In the announcement of his candi¬
dacy for this office, Senator Dobbs re¬
fers to complaints against the depart¬
ment in numerous letters from citi¬
zens of Georgia urging him to run,
and says;
“The admitted record of unfor¬
tunate results following the ad
■m initiation of -this department
for the past ten years will, in my
opinion, amply illustrate an abso¬
lute public necessity for a new
comptroller general and and insurance
commissioner, the installation
of energetic and progressive meth¬
ods for these combined depart¬
ments.”
Referring to his own success in the
manufacturing business in Marietta,
and in other enterprises and soliciting
the support of friends and the citizens
of Georgia generally, particularly those
"whose recent contact with this de¬
partment convinces them that my an¬
nouncement is opportune,” he con¬
cludes :
“I will, at an early date, furnish
the public with the official records
of results above referred to, and
which will astonish the uninform¬
ed by disclosing the amazing nura
her of preventable losses suffered
by the people ot Georgia on ac¬
count of lax administration—a rec¬
ord in which Georgia leads the
blacklist of all the states in the
union.”
The People Misled
It is in pursuance of this announce¬
ment promise that Senator Dobbs now
proposes to give specific instances. He
charges Mr. Wright with an effort to
fool the people regarding income or
guarantee fund certificates, in that he
makes it appear in his report to the
governor, dated January 1, 1916, that
MUTUAL insurance companies were
authorized to issue these certificates.
Dealing with the insurance act of 1912,
on page 8, Mr. Wright states in part
as follows :
“No provision of this statute has
been of more immediate benefit
adv.
of Court, why said application should
not be granted.
Given under my hand and official signa¬
ture, this August 10th, 1916.

to the public than the section
which 1 drafted dealing with what
is known as ‘Income’ or interest
bearing certificates, issued by mu¬
tual and co-operative or assess¬
ment industrial companies. The
State of Georgia in 1909 legalized
these certificates.”
Mr. Dobbs states that the act
1909 makes no mention of mutual
insurance companies, but confines
self to “any mutual aid, benefit or
dustrial insurance company
rated under the laws of this
■upon the co-operative or mutual
sessment plan;” and that the
of the 1912 act, whose authorship
claimed by Mr. Wright, has no
effect than to repeal the law of
that nowhere in the laws of
is there or has there ever been
statute authorizing the issuance
these certificates by Mutual Legal
serve Insurance institutions.
Millions Were Lost
It is charged that one Georgia
pany has issued more than
of these certificates, some prior
1909 and manytdurfng the latter'
of 1912, with the knowledge and
sent of Mr. Wright; that two
Georgia compan.es have issued
than $850,000 ot these
making the amazing total of more
$2,000,000 issued without any
ity of law. PRACTICALLY
DOLLAR OF WHICH IS A
LOSS TO THE INVESTOR.
General Wright admits in his
that “the sale of these
caused a financial loss to many
zens,” and attempts to relieve
of responsibility by stating that
insurance department had
no jurisdiction."
Senator Dobbs points out that
ters granted to these companies
them subject not only to the laws
the state, but also to “any rules
regulations of the insurance
sioner - ...” and that these
tutions could easily have been
vented from taking the
dollars of citizens in practically
nook and corner of Georgia,
the return of any value, had
Wright, as insurance
regulated them by proper rules
compelled them to comply with
laws.
“One of the moat unpardonable
neglectful of the acts that go to
up Mr. Wright’s official record,”
ator Dobbs states, “was his failure
require the Empire Life
Company to make the $100,000
as the law requires, for the
of its policy holders, before issuing to
this company a license when it began
doing business during 1912," ,
