PUBLISHING SERIES
OF ADVERTISEMENTS
Welcome Chance To Tail PabUc
About Details Of Baainfeas
In line \vit> the recommendation
recently made by the investigating
committee composed of State' officials
and editor* of farm papers, the Trt
Btate Tobacco Growers' Association .
is publishing s series of advertisa
mcnt) in more than fifty newspapers
for the purpose of acquainting the
general public with the intimate de
tail* connected with the operation
of the association.
Number 2 in the series has ap
pealed in the newspapers of North
Carolina and Virginia. It refers t?
the commene of the committee on
salaries paid to official of the asso
ciation and points out, among other
things that the highest salary the
association pays anyone is t&e
$20,000 annual compensation for the
services of General Manager R. It
Patterson. "
"Compare this," the advertisement
suggests, "with the $75,000 salary
of one of the "head men" in America
of the Imperial Tobacco Company."
That is about as far as the ad
vertisements go in comments. TM^
consist almost exclusively of the
quoted statements made by the com
m it tee which, at the invitation of
Oliver J. Sands, Chairman Execu
tive Committee made a sweeping
probe of the affairs of the associa
tion and of the support and lack a*
support it has been receiving from
members.
The first of the series of adver
tisements appeared in the daife
papers on Saturday, May 16 and m
the weekly papers. It referred to
the audit, which opponents of co
operative marketing have sought to
discredit. Briefly the advertisejneat**
recited the fact that the committee,
after painstaking inquiry, had found
that F. W. LaFrentz and Company,
the firms of the accountants which
made the audit, was one of the lead
ing f[rms of auditors in the United
States and "was reliable in every t
particular."
"It was established to tfie sat)*
faction of the committee." thefirst
advertisement said, quoting direct
ly from the committees report,
"that any facts given by this firm
could be depended upon."
Concerning the matter of salariea,
which is treated in the second of
the series- of advertiaements, it is
stated by M. O. Wilson, director of
fieild service, that the full ? salary
of every official of the association
has been disclosed to the 96,000
members of the association. Aver
age salaries of all classes of em
ployees will also be furnished the
membership as available.
For the benefit of the public at
large, the committee made the fol
lowing .comment concerning all'
salaries:
"We find that the general mana
ger has twice voluntarily reduced
his own salary and the salary listed
for him in the budget for 1925-26 is
but two thirds that provided for in.
the contract under which he accep
ted employment with the Associa
tion in 1922. All .others of more
highly paid employees have taken
reductions in salaries about commen
surate with that of the general
manager. Smaller reductions have
been made in the salaries of other '
employees.
"The members of the Associatioa
must realize that" their associatioa
i* conducting a big business, amoun
ting to from $25(000,000 to $35,000
000 annually, and that it takes a
high type of man to tun the Var
ious departments of such a big basi
nets. It appears that the present ?
salaries of the highest paid em
ployee? of the Tobaeco Growers Co
operative Association yre not in ek
cejs of salaries being paid officer^
in similar positions with -other big
tobacco companies or other Mg
cooperatives and- 4fcattfcis is a nuea
sary expense attached to the market
ing, of tobaeco under any system of
marketing." ??
? ? Kumhej three, in the series of
advertisement-:, will deal with ex
penses. Opponents of the Associa
tion have claimed wild extra vagaaaa
on the part trf the management fcf
