Petitions favoring or opposing this
or that measure are popular means OF
letting the legislature know what To-
cal sentiment is in regard to legisla-
tive affairs. and this method has al
ready been resorted in the copper
country. especially in the case of the
tonnage tax measure 1t might also be
used to good advantage in the matter
of a liberal appropriation for the Uni
versity of Michigan. There has been
some talk Of cutting down the Univer-
sity allowance this year, due to the
policy OF economy which has been in
augurated. but people generally
throughout the state do not want the
University crippled because of lack of
funds. The needs of the institution
have been carefully outlined by Presi-
dent Hutchins and unless the legisla-
ture feels disposed TO grant the monies
asked the work of the University is
likely to suffer during the ensuing two
years.

COMPENSATION ACT.

In view of the fact. that the New
York Court Of Appeals has declared
the workingman's compensation act of
that state unconstitutional, and the
Michigan legislature is considering
similar measures, the following edi-
toriaI comment from the Record-Her-
aid is of interest:
1t must be stated candidly that the
unanimous decision of the highest
court of New York annulling the com
pulsory" compensation law covering
only specified dangerous industries is
a distinct and unpleasant surprise. 1t
is a surprise not merely to radicals
and progressives Of the left" but to
moderate progressives like Root,
Hughes (who signed the act as Cover
nor of New York;, the National Civic
Federation and the members of the Sc
Iect legislative committee which, after
careful investigation, had recon-
mended it.
The New York legislature, following
the suggestions Of this committee, en-
acted two liability laws. one sans COM
pulsory features, the other providing
that all accidents and injuries occur
ring in certain VIGOROUSLY dangerous
trades shall be paid for. regardless OF
any question of negligence or employ
er's responsibility. This latter act was
modelled upon the British universal
accident compensation act.
In annulling it the Court Of Appeals
declares that. however convincing the
ethical and sociological reasons for 4
may seem or be. the text of the stat,
and federal constitutions stands in tn
way Of such legislation. Employer
cannot be made to pay for injure
which we're not caused by their negl
gence or the negligence Of their agents
TO make them pay anyhow is to TAX
: away their property without "du
process"
. The act was based, not on "attrac
. tive" theories. but on hard realities I
the words of Senator Root. to rende
employers liable for unavoidable acct
! dents is TO make the compensation e
G charge upon the industries" The con

Times remarks that once upon a time
1t was very hard and almost an impos-
sible matter TO send a rich man to

is problematical. for as yet but little

branch Of the legislature. The prin-

its passage there. Should the Senate

STANDARD WANTS CONTROL
OF RICH OSAGE LANDS

Tulsa, Okla, Jan. 2.-Following the
recent move by the Oklahoma Oil Pro
.ducers naming a committee to appoint
a second confer with Secretary Balm
ger in an effort to open up the oil and
gas holdings of the Usage Indians in
Usage county, comprising some $780,
900 acres of the best oil lands in the
mid-continent field, comes the persist
ent but unconfirmed report that the
Standard Oil company will enter into
the fight
From all that can be learned in oil
circles Saturday night it is definitely
understood that the Standard will,
within few days, take the subject up
with Secretary Ballinger with a pro-
posal along the following lines:
The Standard will pay the Osages
and those inter-married into the tribe
$8,000000 in cash and give them 1,000,-
600 acres of land in old Mexico for a
fifty-year lease on their holdings in
Usage county. Among other stipula-
tions which will be made. it is said,
will be a provision for the transaction
of tribe and family relations both ways.
The going after the Usage holdings
by the independent producers through
their association, and the rumored
contemplated offer by the Standard,
is causing an over-plus of excitement
among members of the tribe. The
Usage county newspapers are taking
up the fight started by the action of
the producers organization and de-
nounce the move.
