Mm NEW LAWS ENACTED, PetUI Savings Banks, Workmen's Compensation and Employers Lia bility Laws Passed Eight Hour Law Upheld Labor Recognised on Com missions. .' From tbe day Ihree years ago wbeu It placed Its Interest In tbe keeping of William Howard Tnft to this boar la bor bas critically scanned bis erery act. and wltb discriminating mind It U judging blm as one who. without clam or or demonstration, bas kept tbe faith. Oa Sept 0. 1003, Tbeodore ttooserelt. tben president of tbo United States, wrote a letter to Conrad Kobrs on the issues of tbe campaign and. addressing himself to tbe laboring men, said: "If tbere Is one body of men more than another whose support I feci I b.are a right to challenge on behalf of Secretary Taft It Is tbe body of wago workers of tbe country. A stancber friend, a fairer and truer represent atlre tbey cannot find within tbe bor ders of the Dotted States. lie will do everything In bis power for tbem ex cept to do that which la wrong. lie will do wrong for no man sod there fore can be trusted by all men." Mr. Taft Labor's Friend, Tbe worklngmen of tbe country Judged Mr. Tart In 1008 by a record of twenty-seven years as a statesman, ad ministrator of national affairs and pres idential adviser, and tbey helped to aire him tbe magnificent majority .which pot him lo the White noose. Daring the three years be bas been president his excellent record bas been maintained so splendidly that tbe la boring men bare been confirmed In the belief that they nerer bad a better friend In the White House. Tbo establishment of tbe postal say ings banks, wblch waa recommended by Tresident Taft. was one of tbe things that organized labor favored. Tbe 1 10.000.000 now on drjustt In these depositories represent the savings of tbe wage earners. Taft'e Personal IntsrssL President Taft approved a law on May 80. 1003, to coinpenxate workmen for Injuries received while In tbe em ploy of tbe United States. After tbe passage of this net a number of work men in tbe employ of tbe federal gov ernment were killed, and tbelr fam ilies, not being familiar with tbe pro visions of the law, fulled to file affida vits within the specified time. The sec retary of commerce and labor bad no riwer to set aside tbe provision of the w and was therefore obliged to dis approve the claims. Tbe matter was taken np by tbe pres ident, and be satisfied himself that Jus tice was not being done to tbe families of tbe men who bad been killed. He sent a special mextage to congreus rec ommending thai n general act be pass ed allowing all such claimants compen sation If 'tbelr claims were otherwise meritorious. This wns an Instance that proved tbe president to be brondmlnd ed and anxious to aid tbe worklngmen in any way that 1k could. An employers' liability act approved June 11. lOOrt. wns on January 8. 1008, held to bo unconstitutional. Another of this sort was passed on April 22, 1008, which as yet has not been tested In the court. Through tbo efforts of the president a commission was ap pointed to mako an Investigation of the subject of "employers' liability and workmen's compensation." Labor Man Appointed. The report of the commission, the evidence taken before It and tbe draft of tbe bill prepared as n result of tho findings of said commission bavo been transmitted to congress, accompanied by a special message by President Taft, In which be recommends tbe passage of tho proposed measure. In their deliberations tbe members of the commission bad tbe benefit of fn iuent consultations with the president It la believed tbe act will stand the test of constitutionality. In order that the commission might have tbo benefit of tbe experience of a practical man President Taft ap pointed as one of Its member Daniel L. Cease, the editor of the Railroad Trainmen's Journal, the official organ of tbe railroad trainmen. Sir. Cease has devoted tbe best years of his use ful life to tbe cauc of Inlxir. Tbe president also appointed experienced labor men as Inspectors under the lo comotive boiler Inspection law. They were John F. Ensign of Colorado and Frank McManamy of Oregon for chief Inspector and assistant chief Inspector respectively. The defecla In tbe present eight hoar law bavo, not escaped the attention of President Taft lie has recommended to congress amendment which will make It really effective by "providing that public works sball be construed to Include not only buildings and works upon public grounds, but also ships' armor and large guns wben manufactured In private yard or fac tories." Thirty YeW Service. With regard to tbe blgb cost of liv ing, wblch Increases the burden of the wage earner. President Taft has al ready taken tbo Initiative that will re sult In a worldwide Inquiry Into this problem. lie bas advocated tbe as sembling of a world's congress to dis cus Its varied phases and to suggest remedies. This unparalleled record of thirty years' servlco to tb cause of all the people la deserving of consideration. No charge of broken faith or of broken promises can be made, no bint of de parture from tbo plain path of duty can b laid at tho door of William flownrd Taft, who without ostenta tions display bo wisely and fearless ly administered tho trust imposed upon blm In 1008, wben bo waa elected to bis blgb office by tbe votes of labor ing men. W. D. Nowlon, of tho Nowlon- Koller Co., has Issued another very attractive futdor descriptive of Horn!, with many Illustrations and two map, one of tho town plat and addi tions, nnd tho other of Oregon show lug Ucnd's location. A comprehensive toxt covers tho various phases of tho town's pnst, Its resources nnd possibilities, and tho promise of Its future After outlining tho gifts that Nature has given lleud, tho writer draws an Interesting comparison with Spokane as follows: More l-'nvoml Than Mpokanr. Spoknno, tho largest Inland city of tho Pacific Northwest, never had any such assistance, and what did sho do? First settled 187; First grist nnd sawmill 1870 First Newspaper, 1879 Population (500) .1880 Northern Pacific Hallway came. 1881 llocsmo county seat 1882 Population (18,933) 1800 Population (3G.84S) 1900 Population (104.423 1911 From first railroad to 100,000 people, 30 years. When Spokano was four jeans old, Custer was dying on tho Little Dig Horn In tho midst of a howling mob of 5,000 savages, nearly a thousand mile to tho cast. In other words, Spokane accomplished much of thu abovo growth surrounded by n wilderness. When Spokano was at tho period of her growth at wblch Ilend stands today, thoro waa noth ing around her for hudreds of miles but sagebrush and an occasional struggling village. Even Seattle and Portland woro villages. 8top and think a mlnuto. Leaving out of consideration tho difference In tho surrounding conditions, be tween 1881 and 1911, has 8pokanc today, has Spokano over had as great or any greater resources than llend? If Spokano then, under such cir cumstances, grew to 100,000 In thirty yearn, how long will It tako Ucnd to grow to 100,000 with far greater resource, and moro rail roads, than Spokano had at tho time It was tho samo slzo as Ilend is today?
