Objections Made.

Objection is made to this kind of leg islation already adopted in other countries because the employe can sue his employer under the common law or take advantage of the compensation provided in these acts. In reply to
 that objection it is claimed that when this kind of legislation is thoroughly understood, employees will not go into
 expensive and uncertain law suits against employers but will agree to
 take more moderate but certain sums i for injuries received.
 Objection was also made to legisla- tion of this character in Connecticut because it was said, that employers of
 labor here are, in competition with em-
 ployers of labor in other states, and ] that no act of this kind should be adopted by one states unless it was
 adopted also by other competitive
 states-that the situation here in Con-
 necticut was different from that in
 England and Europe.

as the British Workmen's Compensa- tion Act. This recommendation on the part of the committee appointed to in- vestigate this subject was strongly op- posed by employers of labor and the general assembly of 1905 refused to pass it.
 In the state of Illinois a committee appointed under a resolution passed by the general assembly of 1905, has re- ported to the general assembly now in session an act intended to accomplish practically the same result as the Brit ish Workmen's Compensation act, but being entitled An Act to Facilitate the Insurance of Employes Against the Consequences of Accidents Resulting in Personal Injury or Death, and to Pro- mote Agreements Between Employers and Employes with Reference to Such Accidents. Section of this proposed act states in substance it's purpose: That it shall be lawful for any em- ployer to make a contract in writing with any employe whereby the parties may agree that the employe shall be- come insured against accident occur ring in the course of employment when results in personal injury or death, in accordance with the provisions of this act, and that, in consideration of such insurance the employer shall be re- lieved from the consequences of acts or omissions by reason of which he would without such contract become i liable towards such employe or toward 1 the legal representative, widow, widow CT, or next of kin of such employe"
 Wisconsin at the present session of | its general assembly is also considering ar act similar to the British Work mems Compensation Act. Massachu- setts, Illinois and Wisconsin are the only states in this country, so far as your committee is advised which have considered this question as an econo- mic problem rather than a legal one, and have investigated legislation along that line,

Advantages Claimed.

The principal advantages claimed ef this kind of legislation are;
 i. A better understanding and rela- tionship between employers ard en- ployes.
 2. The substitution of certain limit ed amounts which employers shall pay for injuries to employees in place of verdicts and judgments for amounts varying to a considerable extent in different cases for the very same in- juries, and consequently introducing a system by which the employer can as- certain the liabilities of his business more definitely and accurately.
 3. The greater economic security of employees who, in accepting less com pensation, are yet made sure of some thing when suffering from accidents:
 4. The indictment which such a sys- tenn stimulates to make the employer take every possible precaution to min imize accidents to his employees.
 It is claimed for such law that

of Europe have moved on in their treatment of this question from en- deavoring to enact laws which shall be satisfactory, holding the employer lia- ble to his employe as for wrong in a certain limited number of cases and without limiting the amounts which may be recovered, to passing acts which provide that employers in cer- tain industries shall compensate the employees injured in the course of their employment, regardless of the question of negligence, but limiting, however, the amount of compensation to certain definite and moderate amounts, The theory underlying laws of this charac- ter is stated in the report previously referred to of the committee appointed in Massachusetts to consider the rela- tions between employer and employe.

Reasons For Their Adoption.

In that report the committee says.
 'The object underlying all such acts whether in Great Britain or in other countries, is to remove in a measure, and so far as safety will warrant, the economic insecurity of employees, on the theory that, where a man receives in- jury while in the course of his employ

It is significant that Norway, switz- erland, Finland, Hungary France, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Spain, New Zealand and South Australia have gone on from treating the subject on the ground of legal liability to the enact- ment of workmen's compensation acts largely similar to the Workmen's Com pensation Act of Germany.

ment, society should recoup him in some measure without resorting to charity; that a man working in any dangerous occupation, or in any occu- patton. as to that matter, is really do- ing a service to the public; he is en- abling the public to prosper through industrial conditions, and therefore the public owes him something should he meet with disaster; that capital re- coups itself for losses by charging off a certain percentage every year for de- terioration of plant; that the working man has no means of charging off his deterioration of muscle and skill through the accidents incident to pro- duction, and that he ought, in all jus tice, to have such deterioration com pensated in some reasonable way by society itself; that, as the deterioration of plant is paid for by being added to the cost of production, the deterioration of the man should also be added to the cost of production. The theory is, al so-and this has determined the acts of foreign countries in this respect-that society ultimately pays all such costs through consumption"
 In Germany.
 Germany, which is an industrial country and has given much study to this question, passed an Employers Liability Act in the year 1871, endeav- bring to modify the doctrine of common employment in the case of hazardous occupations
 The unsatisfactory workings of this law became apparent, especially in view of the rapid development of the empire, and after no little discussion Germany adopted on July 6, 1884, a | Workingmen's Compensation Act Un- der this act the employe is entitled to be paid certain definite and limited l amount by the employer of all injuries l resulting in the course of his employ ment, except for those deliberately 1 caused by himselfi thus eliminating all l questions of negligence, contributory negligence and voluntary assumption of risk. For thespurpose of provid- ing funds to meet the compensations for which they are liable under this law, the employers are grouped into as sociations according to the various branches of industry carried on by them, these associat tions being self managing and assessing the employers belonging to them for sufficient con. 1 tributions to meet the costs of admin l istration and the compensations due l employees engaged in their employment The basis upon which the ground oi compensation is to be calculated is laiC down by the law and is computed fol different injuries on the basis of the daily wages of the person injured.

 Representative.
MARQUIS ITO TO BE HEAD OF AFFAIR."
All Laws, Ordinances and Administra, tive Measures Must be Submitted 10 the Japanese Resident General For Approval--HerrSt Kingdom Becomes Dependency of Japan.

Seoul. July 26.--Iwan-Yung, pre- mier of Korea. acting by authority oi the emperor, given under the imperial seal at the palace early Wednesday, and Marquis Ito, resident general of Japan, signed the following agreement at midnight at the Japanese resi-. dency:
 The governments of Japan and Korea, in view of the early attainment of prosperity and strength in Korea and the speedy promotion of the wei fare of the Korean people, have agreed upon and concluded the following stip- ulations:
 Article 1.--The government of Korea shall follow the direction of the resident general in connection with the reform of the administration.
 Article 2.-Korea shall not enact any law or ordinance or carry out any administrative measure unless 1t has the previous approval of the resident general.
 Article 3-Judicial affairs of Ko- Ted kndli Dc hept uiStihSe iiOhh oiuih ary administrative affairs.
 Article 4.-No appointment or dis missal of Korean officials of high grade shall be made without the con. sent of the resident general.
 Article 6.-Korea shall not engage any foreigner without the consent of the resident general.
 Article 7.-The first clause of the agreement between Japan and Korea, dated August 22, 1904, is hereby ab- rogated."
 The agreement abrogates the ad- visor system, especially affecting the finance department, under Advisor Megata, who now becomes a Korean official. It also affects the judicial department of the Korean government for which a corps of advisors for all the provinces recently arrived from Japan.
 Tho Japanese plan, it Is announced is to take control very gradually. as there is q dearth in Japan of compe- tent and available officials. A mod. ern administration of Korean affairs would entail draft of 1,200 officials and impose deficit of three times the present revenues. The organiza- tion of courts of justice will entail an immense burden. as no legal code now exists. The urgent necessity is to obtain control of the Korean army and it is expected that Gen Hasega va will be added to the military staff of the Korean government.
 Anxiety regarding further interfer ence by the throne or former emperor In the administration of the goven meut has now ended. Marquis It at the head of the Japanese and Ko rean Japanese council. practically is viscount Hayashi's agent of admins tration.

MAY DISQUALIFY VOTERS.
When Poll Tax Becomes Delinouent Ii
 Cannot Be Paid.

Little Rock, July 24.-A most interesting and important ques. ton has arisen in connection With the law relative to paymont of poll tax. Attorney General Kirby has been asked whether a collector of county can accept the payment of a poll tax after ne has made settlement with the state. The attorney general holds that he cannot. Ia a let ter written yesterday, in reply to this question, he cites the law which says the taxes shall be collected between the first Mon. day in January and the Saturday proceeding the first Monday in July, and says:
 If the sheriff has made his settlement at the latter date he should have no receipts in his hand and is not authorized to issue any other kind of receipts for poll tax except those duly au- thenticated and charged to him by the auditor"
 la other words, after a poll tax has become delinquent. there is no legal manner in which it may be paid. This will have a direct bearing upon the elections in some counties, when oftentimes poll tax receipts obtained, even upon election day, which authorizes persons other- wise qualified to vote, to cast their ballot. It is a matter of more than ordinary interest and importance.
