Indiana has increased its corn crop
by 5S,S65,000 bushels this year, not
alone by greater crops, but by improV-
ed methods. A part Of this result IS
attributed to the special trains thai
were run through the state last yeat
by the experiment station at Purdue
university. The lecturers addressed
large and attentive audiences and
their instructions were clear and spec
iGc as to planting and care. There
were also corn schools and corn ex-

STATE INSURANCE FOR ALL
employees Is NOW PROPOSED
Three States Investigating so-called
Compensation Act, Which Would
Provide Pay for Injuries Except
Those Sustained Through Wilful
carelessness-Confer Held.

Agitation has been started in Mich
igan for an investigation, such as other
states are making, OF the proposal for
an employees compensation act which
would provide for insuring all en-
ployes against injury. except through
wilful carclessncss, while about their
daily tasks, and fix by the terms of the
act the amount which an employe
should receive for any injury he might
incur at the rate Of so much for the
loss OF a finger. so much for hand,
or arm, or a total injury which would
incapacitate him for all work. Mime
sofa. Wisconsin and New York have
commissions now collecting informa-
ton regarding the subject and in sew
eral states employers associations are
conducting similar inquiries. Last
week Insurance Commissioner Barry
went 10 New York TO attend a two
days meeting at which all phases OF
the subject were discussed and re-
suits. so far as they had been oh
tanned, were presented relative TO
many features of the proposed sys-
tenn. In "A few weeks another meeting
viii be held at which some Of the
leading manufacturers, national law
makers and business and professional
men of the country will take up the
subject. their opinion being that it is
becoming a matter which all the states
must consider and perhaps extend
the governmental system TO provide for
injured and incapacitated employees,
the cost Of this insurance to be added
to the cost of production.
Mr.. Barry who attended the meet
ing at his own expense TO secure In
formation regarding the results OBJ
tanned by the inquiry, states that the
first great obstacle confronting the
friends OF the plan. Is that except all
the state adopt the system at the
same time, il will work hardship on
manufacturers in the states which do
adopt it. because OF the increased cost
OF production I'm those states over cost
on states which have not adopted it.

HOW TO REDUCE EXPENSES

How to save money in connection with
the Legislature is somewhat timely topic
about this time. There are different
ways of accomplishing this end. 1t is
possible to leave the duty entirely to our
law makers, as is done under our present
system of legislative representation. 1t
is possible to force economy to certain
extent by adopting business principles in
connection with our Legislature. When
business firm finds that its help is cost
ing too much, it reduces its force.
Vermont can enforce economy in one
direction by reducing its force Of leg
islators, and it would strike the average
disintereSted observer that this is pre-
cisely the thing to do, particularly if
this can be accomplished without work
ing injustice to anybody and without
impairing the efficiency of our working
force. 1t is the evidence of all author
tiles who have considered the subject
that a House of Representatives con-
tanning $50 members can work more
easily and promptly than one of 246, and
as matter of fact the standard might be
raised materially.
The idea of reducing the size of the
House without disturbing the balance
of power of the small towns is COM
mending itself TO people to a gratifying
degree, and it is probable thatthe con-
stitution will be SO modified as a result
of steps to be institutednext yearthat the
state will have House of $50 members
in which no city will have more than one
representative and with system of TO-
tation SO that every town will be sureof
its turn at rePres enting whatever dis
tricts it is necessary to create. This is
not representation according to popu-
ationsor by district, tut combination
