GOV. Deneen, of Illinois, Advocates "A
Plan New To This Country.
From the Chicago Record Herald
The principle of the proposed act estab-
fishing compulsory insurance in Illinois
was admirably stated by Gov. Deneen in
his message to the legislature. At present
the risks and hazards of occupations. are
assumed by the workers, employers being
liable for damages only where accidents
result from certain forms of negligence.
provided there has been no contributory
negligence on the part of the victim IN
many instances enlightened employers
have Of their own accord offered protec-
ton to workmen. bat, naturally. the prog
ress Of such a movement is slow, and
comparatively few enjoy the advantage Of
voluntary insurance against accidents
Compulsory insurance legislation provid-
ing for compensation. in the case of any
accident, to the injured. or the family OF
the victim where the accident proves
fatal is based on the fundamental idea
that industrial accidents are the incidents
Of the business. and that, therefore, the
business as "a whole should bear their cost.
When an Industry bears the cost of acct
dents the consumers pay a trifie more for
the goods produced. but neither the rate
Of wages nor the rate Of ordinary. legiti-
mate returns to capital suffers noticeably.
Gov. Deneen is impressed with the jus
tice Of such insurance legislation. and
points out that, though the proposal may
be new in this country, every civilized ma
ton in the Old World has adopted it in one
form or another

The politicians are hoping that the

The constitutionality of the law is not

simply decide this one question and
not any other. If the court should do
