state bonds and thus provide funds for
the state as we'll as protection for it's
citizens.
Our idea of state insurance is that at
first the premiums taxed should be small
and the benefits only go to the INDECENT.
later it might be expanded that all tax
payers should receive the benefits of the
sums paid on arriving at a certain age
or at death; Then when the system be-
came more certain and organized that
policies could be bought for any reason
able amount just as is done in the regu-
lar commercial insurance companies.
Such chance will take the shame
from charity, as this would net be char
ity. 1t would provide funds for the
maintenance of the state institutions
which would be owed to its own citizens
and last but not least make life insur-
ance as safe as the government.
Some may say such scheme is social
ism. Perhaps it is. But as we have
said, we are really doing the same thing
now, but iu disorganized, haphazard
manner that is unsatisfactory to both
the recipient and the public. Straight
comp llsory state insurance would do
much to solve the problem of the poor
"whom we always have with u.s.

COOPERATIVE PENSION PLAN.

The Boston and Maine pension bill,
which has just been passed by the Mas
sachusetts legislature and signed by
Gov. Drader provides for the first coop
erative pension system ever adopted by
a railroad. A fund is to be created con
tributed to by both employer and en-
ployees, from which pensions of not less;
than 5000 year will be paid to super
animated employees, with additional
contributions from the company for
those who have been long in the service
of the road. Contributions to the fund
will be obligatory upon all entering the
employ of the road in future, and on all
now employed except those who vote
against the adoption of the plan. Those
who wish to receive s. pension larger
than the established rate may provide
Tor it by having more than the regular
amount deducted from their wages.
Cne very important feature is that it a
person leaves the employ of the COM
pany he has returned to him a sum at
least equal to what he has paid in. He
is not therefore obliged to continne
working for the road or lose the money
he has contributed. The fund will be
exempt from taxation. The whole sys-
tenn is to be under the supervision of
the state insurance commissioner, and
the management will be in the hands of
a board of trustees chosen from the CON-
pany and the employees in equal num-
bers. The plan is to be submitted to |
vote of the employees, and will become
operative only if accepted by a two
thirds vote. 1t is not at all likely that
it will be rejected. Great credit is due
the company for it's attitude in the mat
ter. It sets an example which other
great corporations may we'll follow

STATE INSURANCE.

The matter of old age pensions, sick
benefits. and other care of the helpless,
: is being agitated to a greater extent all
over the world than ever before. We
copy from lions Herald of Boston some
account of the project of the Boston and
Maine railway in this direction. Last
Sunday Rev. A. Karr in the M. E..
church in this city gave good reason why
the church should take care of it's worn
out ministers, work that he has been
engaged in in this state for several
months with splendid success.
These are examples. Many of the
great corporations employing a large
number of men have schemes of this
kind, more particularly for hospital and
other care in cases of illness or accident.
The Northern Pacific has large corps
of physicians and many fine buildings
for hospital purposes the expense of
which is mostly paid the employees and
is reserved from their wages and partly
by the company.
We believe that in short time in fut-
ure these insurance schemes will be
greatly increased both in purpose and in
extent, the great corporations, owing to
their splendid organization facilities as
we'll as their own needs and interests
>sill be the leaders in the work ana it is
quite probable that later the state gov
ernments, possibly the general govern
ment thuogh the state is more likely
will take up this matter and have com.
pulsory insurance.
As it is at present, we do have compul-
sorry insurance, but only through the
poorhuose. When anyone becomes SO
helpless through illness or age that he
cannot support himself he goes to the
poor house or receives public aid. In
fact by law and custom it is his right
and if his indisposition is not because Of
his own bad habits or want of economy,
there really is no shame in thus receiv-
ing the assistance of the public. If he
has hitherto been good citizen and
paid his taxes, then when he becomes
helpless and penniless he has right to
ask the state to assist him to live.
Now il the state took specific sum
yearly from each man, and laid it aside
as an insurance fund, then when misfor-
tune illness or death overlook the tax.

HAND WORK

N interesting little publication the
n Whittier Magazine, informs us
IN shoe dealers say cobblers are
wanted. Young men are shirking
the good old trade, There are not
nearly enough cobblers to do all the
work needed, and most of them are
mlddle-aged or elderly men.
There has been a great falling Off
in the ranks of the little trades in re-
cent years, owing to the fact too much
has been said a1out machine work re-
placing handwork. There are various
kinds of hand work which will always
provide employment,
There are some kinds of sewing ma
chimes cannot do; some kinds Of shoe
making and mendlng machines can
not do. Although some modern in
ventions are so complicated as to yield
results that are almost uncanny, no
one has yet invented machine that
can think, and 1t is not at all likely
that such a machine will ever be In
vented. The intimate relationship be-
tween hand and brain never can be
rivaled by machinery, and the persist
ence Of the hand cobbler's trade Is one
of numerous proofs of this interesting
fact.

by Mr. Fleming: There might be

Daggett of the highway commission did
when he said 1t was nothing but a
joke, just appointed to help get votes
for the bonds. and without usefulness
after the bonds were voted"
The statement by Daggett is one Of
the most mischievous and mischief
making in the history of Los Angeles.
The suggestion is adroitly conveyed
to the public that the people of this
city were practically victimized by
what might be called a ICON" game.
By what ridiculous process of reason

the advisory committee was appointed
in order to win the confidence of the

We are more than ever amazed by
the stupidity OF the statement attrib-
uted to Mr.. Daggett when we recall

servative financial policies given by the
appointment and the constant useful

DRESS REFORM

TVA K. COGSHALL, in an article
II published in Life and Health, has
- INDUCED in some remarkab bly, plain
language with regard to woman's dress.
She declares dress reform is needed
far more than any other kind of re-
form. and by way of explanation adds:
Dress affects injuriously the health of
| fifty or sixty millions of people, physic-
ally, mentally and morally. 1t is the
CHIEF CAUSE OF WOMAN'S ILL
HEALTH. Ninety per cent of women's
ailments have their origin in corsets
and heavy skirts dragging down from
tight bands about the waist.
"A garment that is so rigid as to
support the muscles, which should
themselves and hold the body erect
must Of necessity produce laxness and
flabbiness Of muscle, and when con-
tinued the muscles which are COM
pressed become inert and useless. The
same is true Of the internal muscles
and ligaments, and so it is no wonder
that pain, disease and miserable ex-
istence come to be the portion of those
who so abuse their bodies.
"a tightly laced corset becomes a
close bound splint to the waist. When
we break an arm we carry it splinted
or bandaged in a sling for weeks. When
the arm Is removed from the sling 1t
| is limp and useless, although the bones
have knit, until exercise and returning
circulation give 1t new life. So with
the waist. It becomes partially para
lyzed by tight bandaging, until It is
too weak to hold the torso erect un-
aided, and the tissues waste away and
the muscles atrophy. AS this process
goes on the contour of the figure suf-
fers. The beautiful curves are lost
and masses of flesh protrude here and
there. The abdomen sticks out and
the stomach curves in, forming an un-
slightly figure indeed. Not only is the
trunk disf1gured but the entire anat-
omy is thrown out of shape. Women
are knock kneed, bow legged, too lean,
too fat, and only partially developed.
! Why is 1t? Tight shoes affect the feet
and legs and prevent proper circula-
tion Of the blood. This produces corns,
bunions and serious swellings of the
feet High heels throw the feet of the
body too much forward, and disturb
the center of gravity, thus preventing
a graceful carriage in standing and
walking. The poor creature tries to
cover her deformities by fnery on the
outside"
Mrs. Cogshall doubtless means
some women" when she says
women" Even II her remarks are too
sweeping, they give rise to wonder why
American women do not set an exam
pie to the women of the rest of the
world by demonstrating what dress re-
form will accomplish in the physical
Improvement Of the human race.

GREATER LOS ANGELES

+ INTEREST in Greater Los Angeles
plans is keen, and there are many
\ gratifying indications the public,
which as a rule may be trusted to do
the right thing at the right time, has
made up its mind to place tie greater
maritime city on the map triumphant
ly Reports from the harbor cities in
dicate there will be heavy vote In
favor of consolidation.
While the outlook is bright, the
Herald would impress on all concerned
the vast Importance of getting out the
vote. In campaigning 1t is never safe
to take too much for granted. All
friends of Greater Los Angeles should
redouble their efforts to bring the fight
for consolidation to a close in an i'm
pressive manner, which will be referred
to by the historians OF the future as
an excellent example Of the Los An
geles way,
The citizens of Greater Los Angeles
appreciate the vast possibilities of the
harbor There is not the slightest
doubt that after consolidation the de-
velopment of the harbor which is one
of the finest in the world, will make
Greater Los Angeles the commercial
and maritime metropolis of the west.
Consolidation will assure the suprem-
acy of Greater Los Angeles, with all
that this supremacy will mean to the
citizens. The triumph of the consol-
idation movement and the establish
ment of Greater Los Angeles will give
a business impetus to our metropoli-
tan area which, at pace undreamed of
even as recently as ten years ago, win
