INDIAN PLAYERS

Meyers, Bender, Johnson and
Thorpe Stars of the Game

New York, Aug. 9.-About the best
rebuttal that can be framed for the
often referred 10 passing of the rec
mar" is the quartet of Indians now
shining with considerable brilliancy in
the major leagues. The Indian may be
passing, but those mentioned here are

For Civilization
An Editorial from The Oregon
journal.

In 1912, the great sum of s6S3,-
141.72 was sent out of Oregon as
premiums on accident insurance on
Oregon workers. Only $414,226.2s
came back in losses paid.
In 1911 the great sum of $514,992
was sent out in premiums and only
S2S3,0l4 came back in losses. In the
two years s1,19S,133 was sent out,
and only s697,240 came back. The
balance as profit, commissions and
expenses for the casualty companies
was s5OO,S93.
1t is an impressive fact that of the
iums. the workers and their widows
received only an estimated s350.000.
The balance went to the casulty COM
panies and the ambulance-chasing
lawyers
1t is amazing that we should per-
petuate a mad system in which the
worker gets but s350,000 of the ST.
1878 paid out by Oregon employ
ers for casualty insurance. 1t is am
azing that we tolerate crazy arrange
ment in which for every SO paid out
company and ambulance lawyer gets
s. for every 81 that goes TO the in
jured worker or his widow.

| There is no heart breaking appeal to
