i i 8 i THE ST. JOHNS REVIEW BY A. W. MARKLE Published Every Friday At 117 West Hurlington 8treot. Tin KxviKW i entered nt post office lit Snlut Johns, Oregon, ns innll matter of the second clnss under the Act of Con gress of Mnrch 3, 1879. Offielil Nwipip.r of lh. Oily of flU Joim. All eommunledlonii ihonld b kddrmed io Th. BtTlaw, HI. Jolini, Orrcon. Subiorlptlon prlo. $1,00 par year. Not for many years has the Oregon Legislature passed n bill of such vitnl importance as the Workmen's Compensation Act which is to be submitted to the people for their approval or re jection 011 November 4th. It is not designed for the special ben efit of any class or clique, as is frequently the case, but will ben ufit all the people regardless of their condition or station in life. It provides automatic and cer tain compensation for the men who arc crushed and broken on tle wheel of industry, and stands between grim want and the stricken widow and helpless children. If there arc any special beneficiaries of the com pensation principle they arc the dependents 01 me men who are niurkud for death in the great industrial army which is everon the inarch, which never retreats and which must ever add new names to its already lonjr roll of uu;ui, wiHiiiui'u ami missing, 111 Oregon, with its industrial development scarcely started, one man is killed evury other day and thousaixls are crippled in the course of the year. Statis tics show that more than half of all industrial accidents are in herent in the business nobody to blame- hence nobody can reuovor. The modern refine ments of certain moss-grown common law doctrines have re duced the number of actionable accidents to one out of eight. What becomes of the widows and orphans of the other seven? They go, not always to school where they belong, but to the factory, to the store, to the street frequently to the devil and society pays the bills. The adoption of the Compensation Act will change nil this. When a man is killed or injured, there will be no lawsuit, no attorney with his exorbitant fees, no trouble between the employer and the injured workman: no poverty and pinching; no await ing the outcome of motions, de murrers, appeals and other moves of the ponderous machin ery of the law. Simply a report or two to show that the man didn't commit suicide, then the payment of a certain sum per mouth, according to the extent of the injury. It doesn't make .any dill'orence whose fault it was. the claim is paid just the same. Isn't this a better plan than we now have, with class feeling kept at fever heat by at tempts to fix the responsibility for aecidonts that may not have biiun anyone's fault: with women and children sulVering while we wrangle about some fine point of assumption of risk? Aim ii. (loosiri cost any more in the long run. Now the em ployer passes on to the consumer the burden of carrying the liabil ity insurance, which doesn't always protect the employer, and which nays the workman only one dollar out four paid bv the employer for protection. Under the now plan the employer pays his money to the State and the State pavs it- every dollar of it . . I. ! 1 , .ill untie injured worn man. inai cuts out the liability insurance man and tho personal injury law yer. And nw welcome to the referendum. Who paid for obtaining the nanios necessary to refer this bill? The insurance people, without doubt, it Is said. Who filed the putition? A lawyer named Karroll who has a person, al injury practice of about $10, 000 a year. No one else appears to want the bill defeated, which, alone, is ronson enough why we ..i i.i i i n. . . . . ninium iuiiu our support 10 (HIS measure which stands between want and misery on the one hand nnd justice and aid for widows and orphans on the other.
