A WISE AND JUST LAW.
THE FATE of the workmen 's eomrwnsation bill will be decided tomorrow.
That bill will pass we firmly believe, just as we beliove it should pass.
It is a wise law and is intended to protect the injured workman and his
family, to bring him instant roliof when he is injured and to provide
for the care of bis family as well as himself during his enforced idle
ness. It also provides payment if the workman is permanently injured, and
provides it in a manner that prevents ambulance-chasing attorneys, insurance
grafters and loan-sharks getting the larger port of it. Under prosont conditions
when a workman is hurt, if he has nothing laid by, ho is up against it. His
'doctor bills, grocery bills, rent and everything of that kind piles up on him and
his credit is soon exhausted. He becomes a victim of all who faro to proy on
him. His recessitios compel him to accept any kind of a settlement, generally
totally out of proportion to the injuries ho has received, for the worse ho is
hurt the more dependent be becomes and the closer terms those- responsible, to
him cun make with him. His misfortunes compel him to settle, and if by
chance he CBn manage to got along long enough to bring suit to rocovor what
he thinks ho should have as compensation for his injuries, his lawyer gener
ally makes a bargain with him in advance by which he gets as much if not
more out of what is finally recovered than does the injured on a If ho does
not sottlo on terms satisfactory to thoso he has sued, they, having money, take
the cone up on appeal and keep him out of his money so long that in solf-pro-toction
and to take care of his family he is, at lost worn out, forced to tako
what lie tan get.
The idea of tho law is to have tho workman protected by the state from all
this. The means for paying the bills are provided partly by tho state, partly
by the employor and partly by tho workman, Tho workman pays one-half of
one per cont of his wages as his pro rata, tho omployor pays six timos as much
as the workman, and tho stato pays one-seventh as much as the workman and
employor combined. I will be seen that the employer puts up the principal por
tion of thi) money, and for this ho is protected from all suits for damage. A
workman receiving $100 a month would pay 50 cents a month, and this is Biire
ly a small amount to insuro him and bis against want in cuho of accident de
priving him of tho ability to labor.
It is optional with tho workman whether ho takes advantago of tho law.
If he d oiii, ho gets the benefits of it) if ho does not, ho is left just as ho is
now, a subject for exploitation by. the insurance, companies and the shysters.
" In his connection the Kant-Oregonian, always fair, and always an ndvocuto
of the worliingman 's best interests, says:
" Umlortlio terms of the bill if a workmnn is killed his widow gets $30 por
month for lifo or until sho remarries ,lf hIio has children she receives an addi
tional itH! for each child with tho provision no widow shall recolvo moro than
$.10 por month. The act also provide a full schedule of benefits for other in
juries of vnried character and provides compensation for thowo dependent upon
tho worker in the event ho is not a married mnn,

comHnation lu the event a worker is Injured or killed. Tho unfortunato man
or his widow is not forced Into a lawsuit and forced to divide tho damages
with a lawyer. Another good point about the plan is that industrial insurance
is provided at font prices and there Is Uch a system of exemptions that tho
premiums paid in time bocome adjusted according to tho element of danger in
tho various industries.
"Tho compensation law Is fairly and carefully drawn and 1 one of tho
most progressive and bonefieiul laws ever proposed In Oregon, H was onacted
by tho last legislature with tho support of many substantial and broad-minded
employers as well a by workinginen. In nppiMiranco the luw Is a working
man's measure, but it is also an employer' measure because the employer as
well as tho worker Is the victim of the damngo suit lawyer and tho liability
eoiupany.
"What forces brought about the holding up of tho comionsation law under
tho referendum has ni'Vor been disclosed. Thiiro Is every reason for bulloving
that the move was tho work of liability Insuninco men or aniliulaneo-ehasing
attorneys who do not wish to bo deprived of thoir present fnt opportunities for
profit, Thcro Is no sound reason why any worker should oppose ho bill since
tho bill is not compulsory In its provisions and no ono need tako advantage of
tho law If ho does not wish to do so.
"If the compensation measure Is voted down, the peoplo of Oregon will re
ject a measure that Is sensible and just and Is for the protection of injured
workers and for the wives and families of men who became injured or killed.
If tho law is rejected tho beneficiaries by such action will bo the prlvato lia
bility insurance companies and lawyer" who take damage suit an such a basis

HE COST of a battleship, with trimmings, would build 500 miles of good
road. The battleship would be obsolete almost a soon as built and ready
for the scrap heap within ten years. Tho good road would, within three
, years at the most, repay its cost, and afterward would be a net, perma
nent asset. As a reducer of the cost of living, the good road has it over
the battleship like a tent. What is the use of expecting folks to go back to
the farm If the roads are so poor they can hardly get back, and, once back,
have to see tho farm produce rot on the ground because of the difficulty of
getting it to market f
Next winter congress will be asked to spend money for three new battle
ships and also to begin a systematic development of national highways. It
will probably vote the battleships and refuse to vote the good roads, on the
ground that good roads are a state and local concern.
Yet a gridiron of roads would be a much better insurance of the general
welfare than tho costliest fleet of battleships that money could buy. In which
way would yqu prefer to have your taxes spentt
A recent fashion note says "skirts are to bo fuller." As they are skin
tight now and each made and measured over its intended contonts, this seems
impossible. Tho present skirt, as. to fullness, looks like three bushels of wheat
in a two-bushel sack.
Josse P. Webb, who is at present ornamenting a cell in the state penitenti
ary for one of the most brutal and cold-blooded murdors ever committed, is
putting in time he should bo employed in making brick or Borne other usofid
work, in trying to teach the public morals. When a beast like Webb is plac
ed In the penitentiary for the safety of the public, he should be cut off from
communication with thut public. ' Regardless of what it is he is advocating or
condemning, it Ib an outrage on public decency to permit his opinions to be
sent out to the world, especially his opinions on morals. As an expert on mur
dor and the cutting up of tho bodies of his victims, his opinions might have
somo weight, as his experience in that lino qualify him to adviso.
While Mr. Julius Kruttttchnitt is representing to tho people of Oregon that
docroascd earnings, government interference with roads and lack of moans con
sequent thoroon, aro responsible for the delay in building the Natron Cut-off,
and completing other purposed improvements, statistics show that railroads
have for tho past five years had a more remunerative business than over be
fore, and they also show that for the year ending Jiyio 30 they had larger net
earnings than during any other 12 months in their history. From this showing
Julius should bo ablo to see his way clear to order that long-needed depot for
Salem.
T'OMOKROW the fate of tho bills referred to tho peoplo for action will bo
decided. While they are all of considerable .importance, those concern
ing the University of Oregon, and tho workmen's compensation bill are
of vital interest to tho wholo state. It seems to us that tho uo-'cssity of
tho state's maintaining It college is so self evident that It Is almost au
Insult to tho Intelligence of the voter to offer arguments in lis favor. Yet we
cannot refrain from sguln urging every voter to stand by the university. It
would be little short of a crime to refuse to hold up the hands of the univer
sity and provide the m.iana for its existence. It Is In fact a part of our pub

JUST A WORD OR TWO
IN EXPLANATION
Tho Capital Journal hus advertised
that it would print communications in
its Open Forum column at any time and
on any proper subject. It is still will
ing and anxious to do so. Howevor, it
has received dozen of communications
on each sido of tho wet and dry election
that it has been forced to turn down
for several reasons, one of which is
that there wero so many of them, and
these prncticaly repetitions of . what
olhors had said, that spuco and ability
to handlo the mntter was beyond us.
The principal reason, however, was that
tho correspondents, most of them, vio
lated two of tho rules that we hnve
time and time again repented, and that
is that communications must be reason-
jnbly briof, nnd must bo signed by the
Mrson writing them, not for publica-
Iltion, hut for our own infornatlon. In
stead of complying with this rule doe
,ens of letters wero not signed and many
of them unrcnnnlly long. One would
