INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE.
LegaIized Safeguards for WOrkmeu
and Employers.


The campaign Of education in favor of
Industrial insurance in this country has
brought results in that leader of the COM
monwealths, Massachusetts. Its legisla-
ture passed a law last spring ito provide
for the approval Of plans of compensation
for injured employees"
This Massachusetts, statute authorizes any
employer of labor to submit to the state
board of Cancellation and arbitration a
plan that will secure to his employees COM
pensating payments If they suffer injury in
the course of their employment. The rates
OF payment are to be based upon the en-
ploye's average wages. The act requires
the board to make an examination of and
to hold a public hearing on any plan thus
submitted. If the board decides that the
plan is fair to the employees concerned it
gives its written approval to the specifica-
tons.
The employer, having secured a certified
plan, is authorized TO enter into a contract
with his employees whereby they release
him from the ordinary legal liability in
case they are injured while at work for
him. Under this contract they agree TO
accept the payments provided for in the
plan. However. the act makes It unlawful
for the employer to require members OF
his working force. as a condition Of their
employment. 10 assent 10 any plan OF COM
pensation or to waive their rights to bring
suits for damages, Moreover, 1t stipulates
that no contract made under one OF these
specified plans shall be binding for more
than a year.
In authorizing such agreements this
Massachusetts law resembles the bill for
voluntary Standardization insurance sub
mitted to the last legislature by the in
dustr.al insurance commission OF Illinois.
However. the measure proposed for this
state was superior to the Massachusetts
law. 1t specified the plan Of payments and
their amounts. 1t provided explicitly foI
the creation of Industrial insurance funds
so-called compensation acts fail to make
provision OF this sort. In practice EN-
ployers who are subject to such laws shift
TO regularly organized insurance companies
the obligation to make compensatory pay.

TALK ON INCOME TAX.
New Methods Of Raising Revenue
Must BE Sought,

Washington Dispatch to Boston Globe.
Serious consideration is being directed by
members of congress to the fact that new
methods OF raising revenue must be found
before long. The constant expansion of
government needs and the constant en-
largement of the appropriations made by
congress, together with the low state OF
the revenues, has brought this situation
about. Senator J. H. Gallinger of New
Hampshire. one Of the conservative mem
bers of the senate. says it will be neces-
ssry TO scrutlnize the appropriations care
fully this session. At the same time Sem
ator G%allinger recognized the apparent i'm
possibility of curtailing government ex-
penditures, in view of. the constant ex-
plnsion OF government activities, and hat
II seems to him the tttne was near when
new means OF providing revenue must be
found. "D-
Much discussion OF an income tax is
going on said the senator. Il shall not
be surprised If we come to that before a
great while. Personally, I am not, one of
those who are frightened at the idea Of
an income tax. 1 believe that no tax
congress might provide for would be more
popular among the great masses Of the
people than an income tax"
Senator Gallinger realizes that It is one
thing to talk about economy in approprla-
ton by congress and is another thing to
curtail expenditures. He points out that
it is very difficult to say what expendi-
lures should be Topped off and what should
not.
"As 1 said in the campaign" he OBJ
served, lit Is all we'll enough to talk about
economy, our democratic friends have
much to say on this score, but where are
you going to begin? If you strike at the
allowance of money in one place the dan
ger is that before you get through a lot
of other appropriations that are deserved
will be struck OFF some other place"
Senator Gallinger's observations as to
the trouble about pairing appropriations
is akin to those of a good many other
senators and representatives. They indi-
cate that more and more attention is being
drawn 20 ths income tax.

HOLLANDS BLOCKADE BLUFF.

HOLLANDS BLOCKADE BLUFF.
II is doubtful IL the United States
will give much diplomatic attention to
the alleged blockade of Venezuelan
ports by Holland. A blockade. in the
sense recognized by international law.
is not a blockade unless it is made
effective, and the attempt of three
modest Dutch warships to blockade
Venezuela's LOO miles of s%eaeoast
borders very closely to the comic. 1t
will probably be accepted by the State
department at Washington as a notice
on Venezuela that an offended nation
is represented in the harbor demand
ing redress for grievances.
The near-blockade may have a very
unsettling effect on the situation in
Venezuela. Castro, in Venezuela, is a
despot with personal power and fol-
lowing sufficient to enable him to keep
his dominating hold on his own peo-
pie and to be as insulting as he dare
to other countries. Castro, in Eu-
rope, leaves the way open for his en-
emies at home to organize for his
overthrow and there is a well-founded
suspicion that Holland is lending at
least tacit encouragement to plans in
that direction. There are scores of
men in Venezuela who are anxious to
step into Castro's shoes, and his alb
sence and Hollands blockade opera
lions may furnish the opportunity for
action looking to the overthrow of
the established government in Vene-
zuela.
The United States will have no con-
Germ over the Dutch blockade, so long
as it is confined to a demonstration
against the Castro. government for
the settlement of a claim and does not
infringe upon the Monroe doctrine.
This government would waste no tears
if the Holland government should
open the way for the overthrow of
the Castro forces in Venezuela and
the establishment of a new regime
there. The Washington authorities
saved Castro from a merited castiga-
ton at the hands of Germany, France
and England in 1903, and he has
shown his gratitude by being more of
f~ensive to the United States, if posi-
BILE, than to any other power. There
would be no great mourning in any
country should Castro find it impossi-
BILE to regain his domination In Ven
eZuela.

RrFFLED DIGNITY.

Idh SENATE hCfEbED DAuNhAAs
The senate democrats, according to
advices from Washington, will insist
upon knowing all of the ms and outs
of the recent agreement between the
administration and the government of
Japan, and by what right that agree
ment was entered into without con-
sulting the senate. Far be 1t from
the democratic senators, they explain,
to object to the terms of the agree
ment. These are very satisfactory,
but the senators feel that they should
have been consulted about it and that
the agreement should have taken the
form Of a treaty. the ratification Of
which by the senate is a constitutional
requirement.
The demand of the senate demo-
Gratis will serve a good purpose in
demonstrating that the agreement is
not an "~entangling alliance" but
really a very shrewd bit of diplomatic
work by Secretary Root, by which this
country has secured a declaration of
Japan's attitude toward China, the
Philippines and the Pacific. The
agreement amounts in form to moth
ing but q declaration of purposes.
Neither party to it is committed to
any act or policy that would involve
resort to arms, such as is provided for
in the Franco-Russian or the Anglo
Japanese treaties. The agreement
between the United States and japan
simply promises amtcable consulta-
lions as to what measures either of
the countries would take in the event
of certain specified emergencies. 1t
will serve all the purposes, so far as
other nations are concerned, of a
treaty between japan and the United
States for the preservation of the in
ltegrity of China and the peaceful ad-
justment of issues hat may arise on
the Pacific.
When the senate democrats get
properly warmed over the discussion
of their rights in the matter they will
probably be informed that there has
been no treaty with japan and no ex-
change of diplomatic documents that
would require the advice OF consent
of the senate. They will be notified
that Uncle Sam and the mikado have
Just been exchanging notes concerning
the best plan for promoting indus
trial and political progress in China
and on the Pacific.

Another explosion in a coal mine has

this time a model mine, equipped with all
the modern appliances that go toward safe
guarding the lives Of men. The Mariana
mine OF the Pittsburg-Buffalo Coal COM
pany is a new mine and its equipment was
the result of a thorough study of the
causes Of mine accidents by President
Jones, who investigated the systems in
use in all the foreign coal-producing coun-
tries. The foreign mine experts who toured
the country several months ago visited
this mine and expressed themselves as
pleased with the efforts made to prevent
accidents. Yet, in spite of all precautions,
1873 mon toiling in the dark underground
passages are suddenly sent to eternity,
without a single chance for their lives.
Heretofore when these disasters have
occurred it has been a convenient thing TO
talk about the cold-bloodedness OF the mine
owner: that he cared little for human life;
that the dollar was the paramount issue;
that human life at best was a cheap COM
modify. But here was a mine owner who
spared no money in safeguarding his men
from harm, and denunciation in this case
Is not only unjust, but wholly beside the
point.

these catast. ophes-mysteries that will
have to be solved by science. The United
States has a station I'm operation at Pitts
burg which is seeking to accomplish this
end. The experts already have shown by
experiments that many OF the so-called
safety explosives are not safe. They also
have proved to the country that coal dust
is as deadly an explosive as the dreaded
fire damp, despite the fact that the prac-
teal miner has not yet reached that belief.
This is a work that should go on Until
these terrible disasters are stopped. There
is a strong sentiment that the government
should create a bureau OF mines and
mining, to take over and anplify the work
now inadequately performed by the geolog-
ical survey. The immense mining interests
OF the country, involving the safety of
thousands OF men, need this governmental
attention and supervision. The bill passed
by the house at the last session providing
for a bureau of mines deserves the prompt
approval of the senate.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT AND THE RAILROADS
If Mr.. Roosevelt could have his way
the control OF all railroads that carry COM
merce from one state to another would be
vested exclusively in the federal govern
ment. The power over them now pos
sessed and exercised by the states would
be taken from the states. Ali authority
would be centralized, far remote from the
people and even more remotely responsible
to the people. The result would be license
for the railroads and calamity for the peo-
pie. To escape It, finally, the nation
would probably be driven to government
ownership.D0maha World-Herald.
In no public utterance has Mr..
Roosevelt given any hint Of the desire
credited to him by the World-Herald,
which would rather be wrong than
miss an opportunity to criticise the
president and his work. President
Roosevelt has persistently contended
that the work of the state legislatures
and state railway commissions should
be respected and upheld, so far as
they affected the relations between
the states and the railroads, Just as
he has contended for rigid govern
ment supervision of the relations the
railroads bear to the whole people.
Perhaps 1t is natural, however, that
the World-Herald should trump up
some excuse for calling attention to
the government ownership PROPOSE
ton which it's preferred candidate,
Mr.. Bryan, will probably seek to make
the paramount issue when he runs for
the presidency again in 1912.
