the increased burdens imposed by
the other bills. will do its part to-
ward working q hardship on the
corporations that are trying 10
maintain the payrolls in this state
Likewise does the assumption OF
risk bill place all of the financial
obligations of accidents on the en-
ployer and none on the employee.
The minimum wage for women Is
intended to increase the cost OF
operating commercial enterprises In
this state In which women are EN-
ployed. The sanitary inspection
bill creates several new positions
and places an additional expense on
those commercial concerns that
have for their object the prepara-
ton of food for our people. The
headlight bill will cost every rail
road in the state $500 for every
engines it operates In the state.
Even a man cannot draft plan
for a house without coming across
with a fee to be known as an ar
chitects' fee. Each county is per-
mitted to increase its expense by
establishing a county agriculturist
in a position and provision is also
made for the increase in expense
in county affairs through the ap-
pointment of some one to prepar,
statistics on county products. Per-
haps one of the most expensive bills
enacted compels the payment of al.
deputy sheriffs by the counties. H.
case of a strike where large num-
ber of deputy sheriffs are required
this would prove very expensive to
the counties in which the strikes
occur. Again. a law was enacted

tenance of screens and other ap-
pliances at or near the intake o
bitches and fumes. This law has
for its only object the protection OF
the fish to the fishermen who
swarm the banks of the streams in
summer time.
The greatest increase in taxation
was directed against the mining
industry of the state. Whereas
previously mines paid taxes on 25
per cent of the gross output, under
the new law they will pay taxes
on SO per cent of the gross output
in addition to the total net output
The automobile tax law imposes
a tax of from $3.50 to $1,000 on
every automobile in the state.
