Additional Currency.

NEW YORK, June iS.-ln a week

The market seems to have passed with

speculative, in the event it becomes
necessary, through the issuance Of ad-
ditional currency under the provisions
of the Aldrich- -Nreeland law. 1t has
been evident to clese students of re

banking world that it might and prob
ably would become necessary to resort
to the provisions of this law to relieve
and protect business before the grow
ing crops are harvested and marketed.
1t is this belief that has caused bank
ers to curtail loans. and it has also
led to the conclusion that nothing more
serious than tightened money need be
expected this autumn. OF course.

abroad and in Canada. where the credit
situations are decidedly Overstrained

Would Recall Compensation

Bakersfield Echo: The workmen's
compensation act passed at the last
session Of the legislature will be
tLreshed over and approved or rejected
by the voters Of the state, if the
announced intention of the California
Employers Federation to invoke The
referendum against it is carried out.
The federation has $500 members and
there is no reason to suppose that it
will have any difficulty in getting either
the funds or the signatures needed to
inaugurate and carry on its campaign.
The Echo strongly favOrs the princi-
pies involved in the present compensa-
ton act, and while we are not prepared
to say that all the details of the ma
chinery provided for carving these
principles into practice are as complete,
perfect and practicable as might be
devised, we hope TO see the measure
given a fair trial. We think it will
get the trial. for we anticipate ia
vOrable vote if the people are called
upon to sustain the act, but it will
be necessary for the friends of the
act to make vigorous campaign in
its behalf 10 Offset the vigorous cam
paign which is certain to be made
against it,
And part of this campaign againSt
the act undoubtedly will be a threat
Of wholesale discharge of employees if
the compensation act goes into effect.
Already the influence Of such threats
has been invoked in the creation Of
adverse public sentiment. In one Of
the Echo's exchanges we note the
record Of an employer giving notice
to an old employe that he must seek
another job with the beginning of the
new year because the emplOye is sub
ject to fits and the employer alleges
that he cannot become responsible for
any injury which the emplOye might
suffer during one Of these attacks.
Added force and a touch of human
interest is given to the Story by the
statement that the man who is to
lose his job is an old and trusted
and that the employer broke
the sad news 10 him with utmost re-
gret.
As we understand the compensation
law it provides fully for transferring
any such risk as this employer breads
to the state administered insurance
fund. In other words, all this en-
plOyer would have to do to safeguard
himself against the danger of his en-
ploye getting hurt during fit would be
to take out insurance with the stale.

Notice to Tax PAYERS.

That is to say those that have un-
secured personal poSsessory right,
state and road poll tax that remains
unpaid the time has come when, ac-
cOrding to law l must have the money
for the aforesaid tax.
Am starting Mr.. DiZney and Mr.. Wal
drop into the field with Instructions to
either bring the money or property Of
sufficient value to sell for tie tax and
costs as the law speaks in no uncertain
terms about the collection of taxes.
Now, to use force in the collection
of taxes is The thin" | most dislike to
DO, but with the time limit being so
near at hand and the wording Of the
law such that it is impossible to evade,
there is nothing else left for me to do,
so to save yourself annoyance, extra
cost and expense and to save embar-
rassment for the office, kindly 5crape
up the money.
Very respectfully yours,
TTLEY NJ. WEAVER.
County Assessor.

Doing this would have to be added, of
course, TO the expense account of the
business, but the theory of work
mans compensation is that the risk
of accident and injury to employees is
as much a proper burden on industry
and business as is the risk of fire.
Every business man inSureS his build
ings and pays the premium without
question, and when the principle of
workmen's compensation is once es-
tablished fully every employer of labor
will insure his wOrkmen and pay the
premiums equally as matter Of
course.
In the end. we feel very sure, the
principle of wOrkmen's compensation
will prevail. Whether it prevails in
The proposed referendum election will
depend on the fullness and clearness
Of its presentation to the voters. The
friends of the law may as well take
notice and set to work.
