WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION THREE MONTHS EXEMPTION The announcement by the Indus trial accident commission that em ployers and employee operating un der the workmen’s compensation law will be exempt from payment into the fund for the months of April. May 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 that accumulated in the fund during the past year. The exempting of this 3- months period will meanthat no pay ments will have been made Into the fund by employers and employee for seven of twelve months of the fiscal year ending June 30. The effect of these exempted months la to reduce | the rate o payment made by employ ers upon their payrolls to 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 claims during the period. The recent legislature at the sug gestion of the commission amended the compensation law changing the method of exemption so as to provide an annual credit refund to employ- era instead of the monthly exemption system. Under the old law the em ployer had to have continuous pay- ' rolls to be entitled to the exemptions as they were declared, but under the new law the employer will be given credit at the end of the year for the proportion his payments Into the | i fund bear to the entire amount. 1 Since the workmen’s compensation law became efective in 1914, the in | dustrial accident commission has re ceived from al sources 86,007,081 which it has disbursed in the course of business at an administrative ex pense of only 6.17 per cent, the bal 1 ance being available for the payment of claims of workmen injured in I Oregon industry. During the year, 1918, there were 25,288 workmen in ! jured in industry in the state, 182 of i the accidents being fatal. PLANTATION Sheriff P. C. Hubbard of Lowndes county, Alabama, and two deputies recently seised a 15-gallon illicit still on the plantation operated and part- lyowned by Dr. Perley W. Baker, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of America, near Hayneville, Alabama. Three quarts of whiskey and 40 gallons of mash were des troyed by the sheriff. John Roberts a negro is under arrest charged with operating the still. • Undot the new Alabama law the Baker plant »'on as the site of an il licit still can be seized and sold by the state, one half of the proceeds to go to the sheriff of the county.
