WORKMEN'S ( OMPEXSATION
THREE MONTHS EXEMPTION'
The announcement by the indus
trial accident commission that em
ployers and employes operating un
der the workmen's compensation law
will be exempt from payment into
the fund for the months of April,
Afny and June comes at a most oppor
' tune time. It relieves Oregon in
' dustry from a burden during the re
adjustment period. The exemption
is possible because of a surplus tha:
accumulated in the fund during th
past year. The exempting of this 3
months rcrlod will mennf.irt no pay
ments will have been made Into the
fund by employers and employes for
seven of twelve months of the fiscal
year ending June 30. The effect of
these exempted months Is to reduto
the rate o payment made by employ
ers upon their payrolls t0 five
twelfths of the base rate. The ex
emption Just declared by the com
mission will relieve employers from
the payment of approximately $600,
000 Into the fund for the months of
April, May and June, the commiss
ion having sufficient funds on hand
to pay all claim during the period.
The recent legislature at the mg
'Restlon of the commission amended
the compensation law changing the
method of exemption so as to provide
an annual credit refund to employ
era --tead of the monthly exemption
" n Under the old law tho em
Plo.junad to have continuous pay
rolls to be entitled to the exemptions
a they were declared, but under the
new law the employer will be given
" credit at the end or the year for the
proportion his payments Into the
fund bear to the entire amount.
Since the workmen's compensation
law became efertlve in 19H, the In
dustrial nocident commission has re
ceived from al aourres $, 007,01
which It has disbursed in the roiir
ff business at an administrative ex
pens of only fi.17 per cent, the bal
ance being available for the payment
'f claims of workmen Injured In
Oregon Industry. During the year,
1918, there were 25.28 workmen In
jured In Industry in the state. 182 of
the accident being fatal.

Continuance vi Public :tnd
vate Improvements
The Trans-Mississippi Readjust
ment Congress, held in Omaha, Neb.,
late in February, summarized the
present situation In the following
language:
"We do not favor a pause in the
industrial process to await some fu
ture readjustment of wages and
prices of staples. So far as public
improvements are concerned, 'ie -should
be resumed at once. It 13
beir th t the public should r.hsvh
fie Increased cost. If in ohnnM
h-rcafter r.ppear, than that general
unemployment and consequent disas
ter : nd social disorder should follow.
"We believe also that the promot
ers of private construction and busi
ness enlargement should take heart
of courage and should believe in tho
Immediate resumption of business
prosperity in the United States.
There js no place In the American
scheme of things for the pessimist
or the doubter. Our country today
leads the world in prosperity. It
can lose its leadership only by its
own faint-heartedness. We espec
ially deprecate any concerted htdding
back of construction and business
resumption for the purpose of forc
ing a reduction in wages or cost of
material.
"Both as a means of stimulating
the resumption of Industry and re
moving tho shadow of unemployment
from the working people and also
serve the broader and more perma
nent purpose of supplementing the
the railroad lines and to develop trie
inland and faim commerce of th"
country, the work of constructing
good roads should he prnmptlv car
ried on by coopi-iatini) c.( the of the
federal and state governments and
local communities."
In die recent conference of f!ov-
crnois and Mayors In Wiililiu.t..n
It was apparent that the executives
were disposed to go In for extensive
road and public Improvement:! ram-
palgns In their rehpoctlvo districts.
These can be made tl Httce.x'.lt f.nltr
when they are supported by (he citi
zens. For this reason, (he farmer.
