Workmen's Compensation Amendment
Recognizinr that it will be necessary, after the lezisla
ture convenes, to devote expensive attention to issues arising
tnere, this column has purposely limited its advance disens
iion of legislative problems in order to avoid an excess of
repetition.: It is virtually mandatory however to point out
at this time, without join into the matter exhaustively,, that
the proposed changes in the state workmen's compensation
law will constitute one of the major tasks; ande one of the
most significant, of the coming session.
An interim committee-has been working diligently upon
this problem and has recently submitted, its report, including
not only recommendations but the uroDosed amendments In
bill form, ready for introduction. It was unfortunate that
publicity given to the report at the time it was completed, was
inadequate in that highlights of the proposed changes, some
of them highly controversial, were described without the
background of present unsatisfactory conditions and without
a statement of the broad objectives.
Briefly and still inadequately, it should be understood
eat the general objectives of the interim committee include
creasing benefit payments to injured workmen without in-
jVAaom. tho taa a oI kif AvnlwAi otvtY wnylnnAn o)n4 Ar.
tending coverage to the victims of occupational .diseases as
well as the victims of accidents.
It will readily be seen that there are only three ways in
which the first of these objectives can be attained : (1) By re
- ducing the number or accidents, which would be a benefit
in itself perhaps exceeding in value the increase in compen
sation it would make possible; (2) By obtaining greater in-
J - . T 1 1 .

administration.
As a preliminary step to each of these objectives, it is
proposed that actual administration of the system be en
trusted to a single manager rather than the present commis
sion. On this point there vu no controversy, at least among
the members of the committee on which were represented
both labor and employers.
Now it so happens and it must be apparent to anyone
who makes a habit of reading circuit court news that a ma
jor item of expense to the commission and to a large number
of employers and injured workmen, is the cost of court trials.
Workmen claiming compensation are constantly suing the
commission, and the commission is costantly suing employers
who haven't paid their fees or who, having failed to accept
the system's protection, are subject to damages for injuries to
their employes.
These types of litigation are so common, even in cases
involving small compensation payments, and so costly that
they add up to a tremendous expense. The interim committee
thought to eliminate this by doing away with workmen's ap
peals to the .courts, substituting instead appeals to the com
mission which, bereft of its managerial duties except in a
- Ll - s J 1 1 e e e A S a
supervisory capacity, wouia De in position to sit as an un
biased: tribunal.
Though injured workmen would in the long run benefit
from this saving, organized labor is loath to surrender the
right of Jrial by jury, and this will almost beyond doubt be the
Issue in the hottest fight now predictable in the legislature.
- Concerning this issue much more can be said, and will be said
as the issue develops.
With respect to the proposal that compensation for oc
cupational disease be provided, it should not be misconstrued
as a 'liberalization" of the present law which is itself not
a "liberal" law in the sense that it gratuitously affords re
lief to injured workmen. At least 50 per cent of its purpose
is protection of employers against damage suits for injury.
By the same token, extension to cover occupational disease
would likewise protect employers as much as employes. It
does raise some difficult problems but all memers of the in
terim committee favored the extension under some plan
though there was disagreement again upon the detail of ap
peal to the courts which is an even more delicate problem In
this connection than m the case of accidental Injury.
Food for the French Children
There is a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that the
Bed Cross is at least to be permitted to send medical sup
plies, food concentrates and canned milk for the use of
French children who fell unwitting victims last summer to
the lust of the German war machine,
The situation that much of Europe has been reduced to
a starvation diet, and that children, particularly little chil
dren, have been the most pitiable and the most defenseless
victims has galled most Americans since it first became evi
dent shortly after the German conquest of France
Since that time its seriousness has grown by leaps and
bounds as the extent of German harshness in the confisca
tion of captured food supplies became known. But with an
appreciation of the growing seriousness of the problem has
also grown, in equal and perhaps greater proportion, a sense
of frustration with the knowledge that the British, the hold
ers of the blockade along the continental coastline from the
North Cape to the Bay of Biscay and throughout the Mediter
ranean, would consider the sending of foodstuffs to captured
countries as a measure calculated to aid their enemies, and
would refuse to permit it
That has been the quandary: all parties, British, and
American, and, sardonically, German, have agreed that the
need for food supplies is pressing, at the very minimum. But
the British have been inflexible, until now, in their deter
mination to preserve the blockade at any costs, and most
Americans, understanding their motives and recognizing the

But now the word that Britain has consented to allow
elemental supplies to be sent to France and some also to
Spain is doubly welcome. It dissolves all doubt that Britain
. is cold to the pleas of the hungry ones in the conquered coun
tries; and it permits the geat funds which have been accum
ulated in America Marion county Included bv the Red
Cross to be put to the use for which they were originally de

There is an item in connection
with the election of Nesmith to
the United States senate in 1860,
and his high service thereafter,
that has not been generally un
derstood or appreciated. The
Portland Oregonian In a leading
editorial of the Issue of Oct. 20,
1884, of that newspaper said In
part:
"It Is the fortune of few men
to render the country greater
service than that rendered by
Senator Nesmith during the
mighty struggle of 1861-65; . . .
a service that SURPASSED THAT
EVER RENDERED BY ANY
OTHER MAN. ... It U well
known, though all may not re
member it, that General Albert
Sidney Johnston was command
er of the Department of the Pa
cific in 1860-11.
"He wag a highly dangerous
man for such a position.
"Of Southern birth, he waa aa
earnest believer in secession and
an ardent supporter of slavery.
His whole sympathies . were with
the South; yet while other men
of like principles were resigning
their commissions la the army to
tender their services to the South
ern Confederacy, Johnston held
on, Hut only because tit thought
he could render the Confederate
cause greater service in the posi
tion he then held than In any
other he could assume.

WOTAN'S WEDGE
By FRANCS GERARD '
(Chapter 4 contianed)
Prince Max strode across the
lofty room, the walls of which
were hung with a magnificent col
lection of heads. Halting near his
father's chair, he bowed stiffly
aad said "Excellent!"
The old man looked up, nodded,
and said, "I am glad to see you.
Max. I trust that you are In good
health and that your Journey was
not -too unpleasant.
"Thank you, my father, I am in

waa Quite comfortable. I hope you

replied his father. "But save -for

"It would be an honor, bowed
Max. "May I pour it for you?"

B T. It have not seen I the j
little' new magnolia shrub on the
state house! grounds nor bars I i
been able to inquire as to which !
variety It is. Off hand. from.
your description. X ' would guess f
It was a magnolia - stellate. This I
Is also called the! star magnolia.
It Is slow growing and becomes r
rather wide -spreading-and tree- 1
like in time. The flowers are j
white, sometimes i flushed a Utile i
with pink. The flowers open: be-
fore the ieavestjtoiarry- In March, i
Sometimes T hare "had a ntray 3
blossom on mine la February, j
The . buds look like huge pussy i
wiHowe or like almond husks be- j
tor they open. This is the first
magnolia to bloom in the spring
and it Is a Tery attractive one.
It eeems to be .'perfectly hardy
here. I I li
Magnolias like a somewhat acid i
soil. They dislike lime. The j
best fertiliser Is a decayed leaf-
mold and peat, ft does notjlOcef
beinx crowded aad needs a deep f
open place to do Its best. Ton do i
not need to prune magnolias' un- f
less their branches become brok
en. J i
. Magnolias are n little difficult
to transplant. Some of the aura
ery men claim that all magnolias
should be set out la spring. They
should always I be balled: aad
wrapped tnl burlap when moved.
