EMPLOYERS LIABILITY
Excellent laws were passed at the last
session, but th. laws did not go far
enough.
It is a great social injustice to compel
the employee, or rather th. family of th.
killed or disabled victim, to bear th. en
tire burden of such an inevitable sacrifice
In other words, society thirkt itt duty
by laying the whol. cost on th. victim
whereat th. injury comes from what may
be. called th. legitimate risks of th. trad..
Compensation for accident, or deatht
due in any line of industry to th. actual
conditions under which that industry i
carried on. thould be paid by that portion
of th. community for th. benefit of which
th. industry it carried on that it, by
thot. who profit by th. induttry. If th.

WITHDRAWAL OF COAL LANDS
It it not wit. that th. Nation thould
alienate itt remaining coal landt. I have
temporarily withdrawn from eettlement
all the landt which the Geological Survey
hat indicated at containing, or in all prob
ability ' containing, coal. The question,
however, can be property settled only by
legislation, which in my judgement should
provide for th. withdrawal of these land
from sale or from entry, save in carta
especial circumstances. The ownersh
would then remain in the United States,
which should not, however, attempt to
work them, but permit them to be work
ed by private individuals under a royalty
system, the Government keeping tuch
control at to permit it to see that no
excessive price was charged consumers
INHERITANCE INCOME TAX
The President handles the Inheritance
and Income Tax exhaustively. "There
can be no question of the ethical proprie
ty of the government thus determining
the conditions upon which any gift or in
heritance should be received "
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
In setting forth the necessity of such
training, he says: "Unfortunate , at pres
ent, the effect of some of the work in tne
public schools is in the exactly opposite
direction. It boys and g.ris are trained
merely in literary occompiishmenU, to
