L .3 RUSSIA RFPORTS GERMAN IV EAT WARSAW CHECKED PKTItOQRAD, Feb. fl.The jjener nl htttff of the Hussion nnny, under date of February 4, has isMted a re port of the fighting which rends n follews: "in Knst Prussia we nre making progress by fighting our wnv along both banks of tho river SohcehupiH', in the icinity of I'usodhhen, to the wist of Tilsit. "On tho left hunk of the river Vis tula tho fighting between llorjimow liml Wohi Sssydlowieekn has contin ued wjth extraordinary ferocity. The enemy bus hniuglit into the engage ment compact masses of men. In the endeavor to pentmte our front the Germans have hero introduced into n sector of ten vcrnts (about .ix miles) now few than seven divisions sup ported by 300 batteries of artillery. Certain divisions advanced on a front only one vcrst wide. llnyonet "Freely UmxI. "Our counter attack began the night of February ,'J nnd was immedi ntely followed hy n series 'of engage ments at the noint of tho bayonet. We succeeded in compiling the enemy to assume the defensive. At a point near llorjimow, wc took possession of two lines iff Gorman trenches and wt drove the enemv out pf Goumine. Af ter desperate fighting which has lnted two days, our hoops entered Wolu Szdlowieckn. Thp Jighting hero is Ktill going on with debornte (.tub Itonmo.H, iiartieulnrly around h neigh boring ilitillerv which was still in the possession of the cncinv the niiiht of February a. "In the. Carpathians tho fighting continue nlong'the front which! be tween tho Ditkla Pass and .Mount Wyszkow. Wo advanced nt n point ncnr Svidnjk in the valley of the liver Lubortch. piovimr in the direc tion of Oujok. We took 2000 prison ers and ten iuaehiiu guns. Desperate Itesltttonco. "Al Mount Toukoholkn un'd at jrount Ik'Hkid, our trrxips, dining ui lnt few days have been confronting IJu eneiny with n desperate i-e.siit-nnce. They iiecqited no less than ten ongngumentH at the point of tho bay onet. On Febrnnry I) wo resolved to withdinw our soldiers front the moun tain positions to others prcvisouly selected nnd organised hy us. The otfenxivo strength of the enemy in thi vjcinity is very considerable. "Offensive operations, of the enemy in tho viointy of Mount Wyszknw have been repttlhcd will the iufliutiou of heavy losses." i?ou ooinponsntiou law, says: "Kront an experience of many jentp, during which ttitto 1 have cm. plo)od thournnils of men, I know that tho results to tho workmen are tno.t heuericlal, In thut he or hi family receive prompt relief from Injuries, Tho old oystem of Innurlns wttli liability eoinpnnles tuny ho n Ultlo more pro. ntnblo to tho omployorn. but nover to tho eiuployei. To tho liability com panion nnd tho lnvors. It was most profitable. Hnroly tloeit tho workman receive tho benefit he Is entitled to, and on the slightest oxeuso or technl callty, ho must fipht In tho courts, nnd when ho secures damages, tho law yer gets pnrt of It. Under tho Oregon Inw, there Is prompt payment nnd no Htlgntlon. I sincerely hope, for tho snko of the workmen, that tho legls laturo does not materially change tho Inw as ratified hy tho people." Tlu tliffiMvnoo bolwoon 'conipousntion" and "linbil i(y" insuranco is (loCinotl by tho Port land Telegram as follews: "Compensation" Is the more direct Indemnity paid under tnto super vision either In nnrt or exclusive!, nnd to tho exclusion of any other remedy, unless there shall be exceptlonnl provisions lu the statute. "IJtH bttlty" Insurance Is thut which Is curried ouHdc of any compensation net. and Involves tho employer's common-lnw liability to his Injured employe. Tho one means economy, directness nnd eerlnlntj ; tho other an arbi trary and excessive cost, nmbulnnce chasers, claim adjusters, litigation, In Justice nnd uncertainty concerning either the amount paid or the Unto of payment. The closer any system of Industrial Insurance conforms to tho purely compensation Idea the better will It fit the Wisconsin Commission's local of "good insurance at actum cost." The Michigan law, which it is proposed to substitute for the Oregon law, contracts the risks to the liability compan ies instead of the state carrying them. The report of the Oregon commission shows that for the first six months of operation the cost of administra tion has been 7.: per cent of the premiums paid, and the rot urn to the injured per dollar of premium collected, 92.21 cents. In states where the liability insurance concerns opoi'ate, it costs an average of -10 peu cent, the profit ex ceeds 2f per cent and the return to the injured per dollar of premium is .15 cents. This is the case in Michigan, whose law is proposed for Oregon. The Oregon report shows more than -1000 emplovers and G0,000 employes paying premiums. The employers have paid $211, 8ol and the employes $41,824, and there is duo from the state $40,925 a total income of $:12-1,2Q 4. A total of 2,153 claims were received, incurring an expendi ture of $70,G.':) set aside for pensions and $81,789 paid for compensation. One hundred thousand dollars is needed for pending claims, administration has cost $2.1,91.1, leav ing a surplus of $122,077, or '12 per cent of income. The bonus given by the state to inaugurate the business is not included. Insurance in Michigan is far more expensive, with far less returns to the workmen. It is merely an effort to per potuato the liability insurance graft with its 25 per cent profit, which the Oregon law eliminates. THE fiAME PROTECTION FUND JCxtrncts From (ho Ueport of tho Oregon Fish nnd (Inmo Commission for 1011, b William li. Flnloy State diune Warden. ' (Continued From Yesterday.)

If this is true of-enstern Oregon, it is far truer of south cru Oregon. Iu the pnst few years enstern Oregon has secured half a million dollars for an insane asylum. It has had another half a million for reclamation work on the Tunmlto pro ject' In this same period southern Oregon has not had a bean. 2t never did get anything from the legislature ex cept a few paltry appropriations for a normal school, killed six years ago. Most of the ihohoy paid as taxes by tho people of Ore gon is spent in the Willamette valley, which shows its ap preciation by u solid opposition to any development work for which it is proposed to expend state funds. Of nil the nionoy spent by the legislature, none means more to the state mid its future than money spent for good roads and reclamation no matter where it is spent. The increased development resulting will, in the course of a few years, repay in taxes the expenditures called for. In the case of reclamation, the half million spent means another half million from the government and is a good business investment, any way it is looked at. It is to be hoped that the legislature is broad-visioncd enough to lovy a half-mill tax for reclamation work and at least as njuoh for state aided highways. The stato must aid in its own development, and what benefits one portion benefits all portions. Changes in School Laws KAISER'S BLOGKAO E NEW YORK, Feb. .1. That the Guimau admiralty ooiimiuniciiOon de ploring tjic, waters, uround Great III it pin nnd Ireland, including (he. cnliro Irish ejinnnel, a wpp zone, after Feb ruury 18, would hnve no effect on iho movements of steamships between Now Yijrlf ppd Hiiih and French potls, was the general opinion ex pressed liy representatives of ship jiing ep)uuiuies in vtptcincplti made publiu today. Ahnot vit'tfdit exception it VIS announced that theru would e po suspension of snilings nftcr February 18. Hy somo agents hero it was ad milled that there, was a possibility of turious risk, ut no pue was inclined 0 buliovo thatihero was anything in ho pie&ent filiation which would warrant diplomatic action hy tho neu jrul government). 1 see by your edition of February 1, that tho school masters of south ern Oregon met at Central Point on last Saturday and among other things paused certain resolutions concerning somo of tho 'proposed economy laws now heforo tho state legislature. Wo 1 wander how many of them have read 1 thetio laws nnd know their full In I tent. Ksperlally houso hill No. 243 con cerning the certification of teachers. I The chief point In connection with this bill Is the change In the dispo sition of tho fees; this seems to be where the shoe pinches. According to law uptll two years ago most cer tificates were county certificates, and tho fees for the samo were held by the county for tho county Jnstltuto fund. Under tho present law all fees go to tho stato and are held subject to tho Htate supeilntedent in what Is known as tho "State Ilonrd of Kx nminerB' Fund." Tho county has to put up tho Institute fund ranging from $300 to $400 a 'year. This examine' fund now amounts to soveral thousand dollars per year. There are feeveral bundled special and high school teacher's certificates Issued upon recommendation and grudcu from institutions of higher learning without examination, lio f only oxpensco being a few cents for a blank and tho writing In of the same. Fees for theso aro $0 and I respectively. The one year certifi cates are Issued on examination and recommendation of lilgh schools and aro renewable for ono year, but tho fco must bo paid in either case. Dven temporary county certificates issued by tho county superlntedent aro sub ject to a fco of 2, CO all of which must go to tho stato offico, 'fhero are hundreds of thce. So much as to how the money goes In. Now an to how It goes out. Super intendent Aldermnu, when this law went into effect, to placate the coun ty Biiperintcdents, seemingly, put the county suporlntedents, nt of them, on tho state hoard of examiners at $r pcrday, this regardless of tho fact that they are now on tho county pay roll at salaries ranging, from $1000 to $2,100 per ear. Thirty-four men, twice n year, for trom 1ft to 1." dns, at $5 per day is n neat little sum. This not being enough to uso up the fund however, other attaches hnvo been added to tho state offico until the balance Is reached. The schoolmasters state lu their resolution that "the present law is now- nnd so fnr lias been rntisfnetory In its operation, any change will create confusion, the stato department will bo left without adequate funds. ' Wq do not wish to disparage the good work of our stnto superintend ent's office, but wo do think that nil public officers should turn their fees Into the general fund, nnd hnve their bills audited nnd paid hy the regular auditing boards. As to the "Supervisory Law" nnd tho "Industrial Fair" agents wo de fy the school men to put theso up to the peoplo that they aro supposed to benefit, who should know whether they want thcin or not. Those mat ters may look good to the "school masters" hut they don't seem Just right p A TAXPAYER. Central Point. Feb. ,1. OF RAISED 20 CENIS PORTLAND. Ore..
