COMPENSATION ACT IS NOT PRACTICAL (By faot C bates. In Pacific Home stead) Farmers of Oregon, including agri culturists, livestock growers and horticulturists, should give careful consideration to the compensation act aa passed by the last legislature and which will be submitted for the ap proval or disapproval of the voter at a special election to be held In Nov ember. Throughout the country there is a strong sentiment in favor of legisla tion whereby specific amounts will be paH for all kinds of Induttrlal acci dents in place ot the old system which involved economic waste and payn.ent ot indemnity for only a small per cent age ot the total men that are injured. Wnile poblic sentiment is almost united sa to desirability ot a change for the conditiona referred to, there is a gen eral confusion of idess as to what ia best adapted to our existing political conditiona and industtiea aa a proper compensation act tor the reason that up to the present time, while eighteen states bava passed lawa providing tor fixed indemnity for all classes of In jury, there are no two of them which are alike and many of the lawa while in operation only a abort time, have already demonstrated that they are either failures from the standpoint of being either impracticable or uncon stitutional. The Oregon compensation aot does not follow any successful act of which there is any record, either from an underwriting or legal standpoint, bat does retain in parte some of. the attractive features of many acta. Even the most friendly advocates of compensation are convinced that there are many important defects which in the aggregate are likely to operate against its general acceptance or suc cessful operation. It certainly can not appeal to the farming interests of the stare or to the owners of small homes or residences, or to large real estate owners, without many amendments and for the following reasons: first, the act applies to bsxsrdous operations which aie enumerated un der Section 13. and no mention is made of agricultural 'interests and neither are they described in any sense which wonld admit of their being classed as hazardous or aemi-bazardooa occupa tions, yet the liability of a farmer is indirectly increased and hia taxes un questionably raised oy the operation of this act. Second. Section 3 of tbe act provides for the appointment of a commission of three by tbe governor, with a total annual aalaries of 110,800. who are to serve for the purpose of administering tbe a-t. Section 6 providea that this commission may employ such assist ants, experts, and clerks as may be necessary at an expense not to exceed 25.000 per annum. Section 20 pro vides for an automatic appropriation out of state funds, raised by general taxation or an amount equal to one balf of 1 per cent on all wages paid by employers engaged in operations de fined as hazardous. In other words. sssumlng for the purpose of illustra tion that the hazardous occupationa as enumerated in Section 13 represents a total annual pay roll in the atate of $40,000,000, the amount of which the general public would be taxed tor would be equivalent to 1200.000. all of which would be used for the purpose of defraying tbe cost of administration of compensations to employers classed as hazardous, and although the farmer receivea no benefit he is taxed to sap port the cost of administration in con necting with the payment of indemni ties to employes of employers who are classed as hazardous. Third, the farmer and owner of real estate other than manufacturers or employers who are engaged in hazard ous opetationa are coo fronted with increased burdena other and apart from the tax, for tbe reason that tbev are exposed to a greater liability and consequent claima and litigation in event of injuries to any of their em ployes than ever existed heretofore, by virtue of the sentiment or Influence created as a result of every employe engaged in hazardous occupation re ceiving definite indemnity for every accident regardleas of the question of fault. Fourth, the owners of city resl estate, farms, and fruit lands and small bomea are generally oppoaed to being taxed for the benefit ot menu faoturing industries or large operators, wbere the returns on tbe investment are much greater than represented by tbe retarna on real eatate investments. Furthermore, there is a genersl pre judice from a tax-paying standpoint against all forms of legislation which propones to encourage the further en largement of tbe administrative func tions of the state at public expenses on the grounds that there is less effi ciency and greater extravagance In volved under auch procedure and that such a system is subject to tbe vary ing control of whichever politics! party that happens to be in power. . Everyone admits that compensation SOME EFFECTS OF TARIFF REVISION Now that the tariff la law, it Is time for Oregon to consider the changes In the position of its leading Industries brought by the new duties. Wo must adjust our business to new condition. which open the merkcts of our chief J industries to the competition of the world. We had a duty on raw wool equal to five to seven cents pound on the scoured fleece: now we have free wool. We had a duty on lumber ranging from 11.25 to $2.75 per thousand feet ; now we have free lumber. We had a duty of twenty-five centa a bushel on wheat: now wbeat comes in free. The duty on flour was forty-five cents a barrel: now it ia wiped out. There were dutiea on milk of two cents a gallon; cream, five centa a gallon ; ecus, Ore cents a dozen : now all are free. Butter and cheese formerly paid a duty of aix centa a pound : tbla ia re duced to two and one-half centa. Oata will now come in at aix cents inaUad of fifteen cents a bushel, and oatmeal will pay only one-third cent instead of one cent a pound. . Cattle formerly paid U and $3.75 a head: aheep. sevaniy-flve centa and $1.50 a head : hoga. $l.b0 a bead ; now all coma in free, aa does fresh meat of all kinds, which was aobjeot to a doty of one and one-half centa a pound. Applee, peaches, cherries, plums, pears and quinces paid a duty of twenty-five centa a bushel; now they pay only ten centa. We ed a doty of 30 per cent on canned fish; now it ia 15 per cent Fresh, dried, smoked, sslted or frozen salmon paid three-fourths cent to one cent per pound : now all are free. On jute bags we paid aeven-tlghta cent a pound plua 16 per cent; now we pay 10 per cent. Wheat cornea in f ree ; the baga in which we snip our wheat are still taxed. These are a few examples of tbe besring of the new tariff on Oregon'a leading industries. Watch how it worka. DIARRHOEA QUICKLY CURED "I waa taken with diarrhoea and Mr. Yorks, the merchant here, per suaded me to try a bottle ol Chamber. Iain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Alter taking one dose of It I waa enred. It also cored others that I gave it to," writes M. E. Uebbart, Oriole. Pa. That is not at all unuHusl. An ordinary attack of diarrhoea can almost Invariably be cured by Otie or two doses of this remedy. For sale by all dealers. for all classes of industrial accidents ia a desirable basia to be reached but the best authorities are of opinion that the question of fault must br eliminated entirely, which ia not the case in the Oregon act. with exception of accidenta which are self-inflicted or due to intoxication. If public sen timent ia solely responsible for the demand for thia reform movement, rather than tbe scheming politicians who hope to increase the number of offices available, why not place tbe burdens created by tbe operation of compensation acts squarely on tbe consumer at ita full cost? This prin ciple has been incorporated in those statea that offer tbe most successful Illustrations of compensation for In dustrial accioents. The New Jersey law, wnlcb has been in force twenty seven months, and ia admittedly giving tbe most satisfactory results in the country, is simple compensation with the auestions of insurance and admin istration left entirely open and every employer being under tbe same burden, tbe consumer pays the increase in cost of production. Their law, while elec tive, applies to all clsasesof industries, both bszsrdous and non-baxardous, in cluding farmers and household domes tics, and operations in every descrlp tlon. Whether an employer insures the burdens cieated by the operation of the act, or carries bis own risk, is a matter left entirely to hia own dis cretion. Tbe English act in these fea tures is similar to tbe New Jersey: all of which demonstrates beyond dispute thst successful compensstion lawa are far removed from necessity of becoming a part of our political sys tem, and that a eompenaation law in order to be successful does not mean annihilation of private companies and competition resulting therefrom, or the establishment to a atate monoplv aa is provided for in tbe Oregon act. Section 25 of tbe Oregon act providea that if tbe commission hold that an injury is due by fsilure of the employ er to Install or retsin any safety ap pliance, device or safeguard required by statute, that the workman may sue bis employer and In that event be waives his right to compensstion. Sec tion 82 provides that any person ag grieved at tbe decision of tbe com mis son may appeal to the nearest circuit court and have his esse reviewed and that tbe right of appeal ia ssved to tbe injured party, even to tbe aupreme court. The Housewife Who Saves Something On half of her pur chases saves an in spiring sum in the course of a year! I AND SOME house wives do that although no one except ad readers do or could. The possibilities of eco nomical buying are open to all housewives who study the ads. And it's a fine way to feel your way to that sort of per sonal head-upness which money-in-pocket gives 1 A shopper who saved a dollar or two the other day through read ing the ad of a particular store will not need to be urged to watch the ads of that store pretty closely. You will generally find that the merchant who does not advertise has nothing in his; store, that is worth while mentioning. Lake Go. Examiner. The Leading Advertising Medium
