EMPLOYE PART OF INDUSTRY.
His Leo scS by Injury Should BE Paid
for, Says Noted Lawyer.

The theory OF the Illinois W'prkmen's
compensation law" writes John T
White. Of the Chicago bar, in the Sep
temhe- number OF Case and Comment,
the lawyers magazine. lis based on the
assumption that when a worker is in
jurcd in an industry the loss to him was
occasioned by the industry and that the
products of the industry should be
charged with his losses and should pay
for them.
To illustrate: An engineer is in
charge Of an engine: one Of the cylinder
heads of the engine blows out: the en-
CINE is repaired and the cost of such
repair is charged to the business as an
Incident to such business. But at the
time the cylinder head blows out the en-
=nee:'s leg is badly burned and scaldcd
by the escaping steam, and the loss of
time occasioned by the mans injured
leg is ignored unless he enforces his
claim in the courts.
If he sees fit to demand reparation by
process of law he is fought like an
enemy. In justice and equity his loss
should he paid for the same as the loss
Of the. engine. If a fireman. policeman
OF member OF the army or navy is in
Jured while on duty he is pensioned; the
municipality or government aCknowl-
edges him to be protector OF property
and persons, and makes provision for
him and those dependent upon him for
support. This is exactly what the HI
n0is workmen's compensation law pro-
poses for the worker"

What has. happened once can happen
again. The boats that ply between the
city and the resorts, which depend upon
that trade for their income, are common

the steamship company that operated
the Titanic for not having enough life
saving boats to care for every person
on board that Inflated vessel. The press
of the country should condemn every
vessel leaving the ports of this coun-

cient boats to care for every person on

Parcel Post by New Years.

The Postmaster General, after dis
cussing the preparations for handling
in railway cars the packages OF the
parcel post, has decided that by January
next, as provided by law, the new
system will be well inaugurated. Mr.
Hitchcock has constructed the law to
be applicable TO star routes, as we'll as
rural ones. thus benefting large por-
ton of the population by this extension
But the opening OF the service in
Alaska will be deferred until the sys-
TEN is fully inaugurated in the United
States Between this country, the Phil
ipr:"c, Hawaii, and Porto Rico, it will
b. IL working order by new years.
Congress rejected the fiat rate for
the parcel post in the face of the expe-
rience OF the world and our own gath
cred in other places of mail carrying,
despite the efforts of the Postal
League which has given long and i'm
partial study to the subject. In all pri-
waite business We lead the world as to
being practical, but when it comes to
public business we generally take the
longest and most difficult and costly
way. If it is unfair TO carry a parcel
two thousand miles at the same rate
as for two hundred, it is equally I'M
fair to do this with letters. This much
for the zone" clause adopted.
The zone plan Discriminate against
the home patron in favor of the for
eigner for distances of more than
thousand miles. Under it the rate from
here to Europe is IL cents a pound, but
from Europe to and through this coun-
try it is less than s cents. We are
charged by zones, the Europeans by
fat rate. This discrimination varies ac-
cording to distance, from 80 to 80 per
cent
We shall have to lick the zone theory
into practice by having the Interstate
Commerce Commission take a hand in
the matter and modify the zone dis
lance In other words let lis apply
some of the common sense that makes
our individual enterprises so eminently
practical TO our government.

vide in appropriation bills for the District
that One-ha!f shall be paid by the gen.
eral government. no mention IS made Of
said condition? For many months I have
seen no reference 10 the fact that no
taxes are paid on the public grounds and
buildings. Referring to a recent article.
when the property has been acquired for
enlargement OF the Capitol Grounds. will
not the amounts now paid thereon IN
taxes become a dead loss 10 the Dis
trct?
repeat. why is no reference made
nowadays TO the basis of the organic
act? {. VI. D. BROWNE.
