Accident Commissioner Says
Oregon Leads in Care
of Injured Workers
Oregon takes care of its injured
working men bettor than any
other state in the union, accord
ing to Will T. Kirk, member of
the state industrial accident com
mission. Mr. Kirk spoke yester
day at the noon luncheon of the
Commercial club.
This favorable condition, Mr.
Kirk said, was due to the com
pensation laws of the state. All
working men are entitled to the
benefits of the law, he said. Com
pensation may run 40 percent of
the wages a man was making
when injured, and as high as 66
percent.
iNJnety-two cents out of every
dollar received by the commission :
is paid to men or families of in-1
Jured men. he explained. Thirty-!
six percent of all cases handled
by the commission originate in
Multnomah county. As part of the
sources of funds for the commis
sion employes pay at the rate of
one cent for each day of work.
"Physical and vocational re
habilitation of injured men is one
of the greatest services of the
commission," Mr. Kirk said. The
physiotherapy department estab
lished Just a few years ago, has
been responsible for bringing
many men back to normal con
dition. "Provision is made for training
a man in any special work he pre
fers, where the injury has been
such that he cannot follow his
original occupation. And while
the state is giving the injured
man this special training' he is
paid by the commission sufficient
funds to keep his family in com
fort." Mr. Kirk said that Oregon was
the first state in the union to make
adequate provision for its injured
and far in advnace of other states,
in training its injured citizens in
to some some of occupation by
which they may again become
good citizens and able to support
their families.
Louis E. Bean, of Eugene, can
didate for governor, said taxes
were high as only 40 p-arcent of
the lands of the state were on the
tax rolls. More than 13,000,000
acres of land in the state had been
set aside for forest land, Mr. Bean
said and then in addition, much
of the old Oregon and California
railroad grant Acreage was not on
the tax list. He figured that if
these lands were on the assessors'
books, tax return would abount
to 11.000,000 a year additional.
"The older states sold all their
land," declared Mr. Bsan. "In
Oregon we have been discriminat
ed against and our lands are in
national parks and in other grant
lands and Indian lands, and such
do not pay taxes
Mr. Bean expressed the hope
that later, when out on his polit
ical campaign, ha would have
an opportunity to discuss state af
fairs with the people of Salem and
Marion county
