The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1913-12-24

became effective only in July, 1912.
Under the act, every employed person
from sixteen to seventy years of age,
whose income does not exceed $500
year, is compulsorily insured against
sickness, in whatever manual or other
occupation engaged, with certain
rather unimportant exceptions. Those
earning more than $500 a year by
manual labor alone are also compul-
sorily insured. In British population
of 45,000,OO0, the act includes, approx
mately, 100000 in it's provisions.
The act also provides that other per-
sons, not included in the compulsorily
insured class, may join under certain
conditions.
"18 Cents Worth for Cents"
The insurance fund is derived from
three sources, the worker, the employ
er, the national treasury. Here arises
one of the strongest criticisms of the
act both employer and workman
claiming his contribution to be too
large. The weekly subscription of the
workman earning more than $3.75 a
week Is Is cents, Of which the work
man pays eight cents, the employer
six cents and the national treasury
four cents or its equivalent. In addi-
ton. the state pays the cost of central
administration and large grants to.
wards hospitals and medical benefits.
When a workman's wages are less
than 1915 week, he pays a less pro
portion to the insurance fund and the
employer pays more, Insured women
pay one-fourth less than insured men.
The workman thus buys Is cents
worth of insurance for eight cents.
Those whose wages are less than SITS
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1913-12-24

a week are insured without cost to
them. Contributions are not paid by
the workman during sickness or unem-
ployment and cease entirely when he
reaches the age Of seventy years. The
act makes 1t illegal for the employer
to deduct his own proper contribution
from the workers wage; he must de-
duct only the workers share. A spe-
cial provision modifies contributions in
cases where employers maintain their
workpeople in sickness. Men and
women of all ages up to sixty-f1ve
years are treated alike in respect to
contributions. Insurance cost is no
more at forty years of age than at
sixteen. The age handicap, necessar-
ly imposed by private insurance COM
panies, is entirely absent from the
British scheme.
What are the benefits?
The member of parliament from
Northampton, H. B. Lees Smith, and
the managing director Of great
wholesale establishment Of London,
Wilkie Calvert (brother of DR.. Sidney
Calvert, professor Of chemistry at the
University Of Missouri), summarized
these benefits:
Sickness and Other Benefits.
The workman pays eight cents a
week or less. His benefits are the
same whatever he pays. These bere-
fits include free medical attendance
and free medicine, sickness benefit,
disablement or invalidity pension, ma
ternity benefit, sanitarium benefit.
Free medical attendance and free
medicine are provided to the worker
who becomes ill. This provision has
been sharply attacked by the British
doctors. The sickness benefit varies
in amount Ordinarily it is $3.50 a
week for men and $1.75 a week for
women for 26 weeks. Sickness bene-
fits cease at seventy years of age,
when the old age pension becomes
payable. If sickness continues long
er than rs weeks, $1.25 week is paid
during the remainder of the sickness,
however long it may be. Provision is
made for certain reduction in benefits
when members are in arrears with
their contributions, but no one is sus-
pended from medical, sanitarium and
maternity benefits until more than 26
weeks in arrears. Insured women,
married or unmarried, and the wives
of Insured men, whether insured or
not, receive a maternity benefit of
$3.50 in addition to sickness benefit,
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1913-12-24

and relief from payment of contribu-
tons. 1t is estimated that when the
scheme is fully at work a million
mothers in Great Britain will each
year receive this benefit at a cost
to the nation, on this account
alone, of $7,500,000. Under the sana-
forum benefit the state provides for
free treatment and care,in sanatoriums
or at home, of persons who contract
tuberculosis. The insurance commits
sioners may schedule other diseases
also for institutional treatment. These
are the minimum benefits. Other ben
efits, possible with prudent manage
ment Of the insurance funds, include
larger old age pensions and higher
sick, disablement and maternity pay
and convalescence allowances.

cites.
The administration of the act is
through the government, which util-
ICES the friendly societies, trades
unions and other approved organiza-
tons-and through the postal savings
bank for deposit contributors whom no
friendly society would insure. The
friendly societies correspond, to a de-
gree, to mutual insurance companies
In the United States. The insured thus
control the working of the scheme.
The act makes safe and solvent the
fraternal or friendly society and in
creases its benefits, provided upon re-
peated examination the society or
lodge shows approvable management.
But how does the insurance act BEN
eft the employer? What does he re-
ceive in return for his contribution of
six cents a week?

In private all parties appear commit

c1ples of the National Insurance Act,

some of its practical workings there
Is fierce contention. It does not ap-

leader-be "drastically amended" If

majority, who. while they love beauty.
will not sacrifice juicy flesh and fine
eggs for fancy feathers, five point
combs and long rooster tails.
This great majority. on which the
poultry industry depends, has had lit
tie opportunity hitherto to exhibit its
practical products in competition, and
the utility side has received sscant rec
0gnition.
However, there is a change. The
American Poultry association, after
years of urging, is now issuing a utili-
" standard, its standard of perfection
for the promotion of the fancy having
been issued, with frequent revisions,
since 1874.
The shows and fairs are beginning
to realize that feathers aren't the
whole chicken, and a number are now
offering premiums for utility exhibits.

MIA, perhaps the largest fall show in
America, taking the lead this year,
with an exhibit of wei 1000 fancy
eggs and an egg laying competition,
In which only farm stock, mixed or
pure, was allowed to compete.
The high cost of living is making peo-
pie more practical and soon utility ex
hibits will crowd out fancy feathers.
Such exhibits are educative. They
Get a standard. They mean more and
cetter poultry products. They inspire
competitors to finer effort. We hsne

kind will be in ignorance of the fact
Of Righteousness. Next the Son of
Man viii bind the strong man, and
then He will spoil his house'-over-
throw present arrangements.
This picture implies a struggle, for
the strong man-Satan-has a great
host serving him, ignorant of the fact
that he is a usurper, and that many of
his laws are unjust.
Many of them have never under
stood that He who redeemed the world
by the sacrifice of Himself, holds a
Divine appointment to be King of
Earth, to overthrow the rebellion and
to bring back into harmony with God
all the willing and obedient. Many do
not know that this Messianic Kingdom
will be Gods fulfilment of the Redeem
er's prayer. Thy Kingdom comet Thy
will be done on earth, even as it is
done in Heaven" Many therefore do
not know that all things are to be
made new, and that the time appoint
ed by the Father for this great work is
a period of a thousand years, now
chrOnologically due to begin.
Not knowing these things, many will
be found fighting against God, think
ing that in supporting the institutions
of the Prince Of this world they are
doing God a service. The Redeemer In
timated most distinctly that some OF
these ignorant nes will be prominent
In the ministry in His own Church.
