STUDENT JUDGING TEAMS AT SPOKANE APPLE SHOW SPOKANK, Wash., Oct. 29 Students Judging teams from tho hor ticultural departments of northwest ern colleges are expected to compote In an apple judging contest in con nection with tho Sixth National Ap plo Show and Fruit Products Con grne in Spokano November 17 to 22.

These referoudiuns were not invoked hy the people of Oregon. None of tie petitions were circulated in .Jaekson county. Kone of them wore signed anywhere outside of Portland and jts slums. Paul petition vendors got nearly all the signatures in the erovMod district of the metropolis rnd persons signed without auv idea ot what thov wore signing. Not in any sense do they represent popular pro test. They constitute a rank abuse of the referendum. Tho workmen's compensation act referendum was filed hy "V. K. Farrell of G23 Lumhermons building. Portland, lie is a member of a firm of attorneys who specialize on damage suits and have grown rich by it. Assisting tho fight against the measure arc the casualty insurance com panies, who insure employers against employes' injuries and then use. the courts to fight the injured. "Why the insurance companies oppose the law is plain. It interferes with thqir business. The extent of their bus iness is shown by tho annual report of the state insurance commissioner. Juir the vear ending December:!. 15J12, the insurance companies received from employers $68,1,141 in 'premiums, and paid in losses $tl4.'J26. leaving the neat sum ot $268,S14 as proms, and administration cost. Tl.t t 1 f M 1 1 I 1 1 - .1 j no iiersonai : who sun auornevs ice aim court costs average over half of the sum paid to injured workmen. The attorneys and the casualties companies thus received $475,000 and the injured workmen but $200,000 of the amount paid last year. In addition, the taxpayers must maintain conns and juries to try nianv cases witere no damages are received a dead loss to the state. Examination of the business done by the casualty conf pnnies during the years 1910-U shows that only 4'.t.9 per cent of the premiums paid went to the injured. That this 43.9 per cent was paid only after every possible effort had been made to prevent it and the poor workman compelled to fight the rich insurance company by the aid of a greedy damage lawyer, who got half of the 411.9 per cent, leaving probably 20 per cent of the total premiums paid for the injured. The 5G.1 per cent of the premiums is kept by the insur ance concerns and make possible their big dividends. In the state of "Washington the administration of the com pensation law cost 10 per cent which shows the economic waste involved in paying D0.1 per cent to lialdlty com panies. The purpose of th'e compensation law is to create a state industrial accident commission, composed of three commissioners, to provide a fund for the compensation of injured workmen employed in hazardous occupations, to be raised partly by the state, partly by employers anil partly by employes, the commission to determine the amount under the act to be paid any person or persons on account of any injury received in the course of his employ ment, according to a fixed scale. Every injured workman is entitled to compensation for his injuries, without having a lawsuit and dividing with a lawyer. The compensation law provides that the injured workman shall automatically, and as a matter of right, receive adequate compensation without interference or in tervention of insurance companies, lawvers or courts. Every employer wants the money he pays to injured men to tro to the njurcd and their families. Now he is helpless and has to accept terms insurance companies and lawyers make. The benefits of the compensation act can be briefly summed up as follews: The employer knows that alt the money he pays is going for tho relief of tho injured; the workman knows, in the event of injury, he and his depend ents arc immediately provided for; the citizen knows that tho poverty which often accompanies disability or death will bo relieved. Onlv the lawvers and the easualtv com panics lose. Vote yes on the compensation act H0S X Yes.
