In France the law of April l, 1898,
conferred charters on mutual benefit
societies, and the recent law concern
ing pensions to artisans and peasants
has opened for them a new field of
action. After careful consideration of
the system and working of this law,
the international institute of agricul-
ture devoted in it's bulletin of eco
nCmic and social intelligence a spe-
cial article to a description of the de-
velopment and organization of mutual
benefit societies.
No social Institutions in France
seem to have obtained such favor as
mutual association, whether those af-
! furding help in case of illness, injur-
/ les or infirmity, those for granting
pensions or those for making allow
ances in case of death. Of these soci-
cites, at present comprising 3,65O,OOO
members, 81 per cent are for insur-
ance against illness and for pensions,
10 per cent for pensions alone, and
II per cent for allowance to heirs after
a death or assistance in case of in
capacitation for work. These various
branches are in receipt yearly of
about SO, 100000. In the article in
question each of these branches is
considered in detail. For instance
the society for help in illness is stud
led under two forms, the one, grant
ing gratuities for payment Of medical
attendance and medicine; the other
a daily allowance to compensate II
nfofY Cd
workman and his family through mis-
enforced abstention from WORK
through illness.
Considering the increasing exigen
cies of the medical profession, the
daily indemnity seems the more ra
/ tional and the less liable to abuse. L
gives d stronger feeling of responsible
; ity to the recipient, as it is his inter
es, to abstain from calling in the doc
tor or apothecary unless when reall!
, needful Though the allowance is pri
, rlarily for the benefit of the sick, tht
? family also benefits by it when the
I daily earnings of its head are sus
pended.
Old age pensions are made unde
three different systems. They may b.
made from the common inalienabl
fund, from individual deposits or iron
any other available source. Under tn
first system the sums appropriated b
, the society for pensions are paid int
J the Deposit & Consignment bank an
! form what is called the common ina
| ieHable fund, from which no membe
) can ever draw the money he has pal
n into it, for it is the common propert
: OF all members, past, present and fl
ture. Under the second system tn
7. society demands from it's members
t special contribution paid into the N;
ticnal Savings bank for old age pei

French Insurance Laws

sions. each member having his own
pension book in which all his deposits
are duly entered. Under the third sys-
ten the annual ALLEGATIONS are only
made from available sources. In con-
sequence they vary very much and in
some years completely fail.
Whichever be the system employed,
the pensions are always small. They
vary, from $14 to $31, and the govern
ment is frequently compelled to make
special grants to these societies, &C
cording to the law respecting artisan
and peasant pensions. Very often the
societies undertake the collection of
the contributions and are even some
times allowed to provide the pensions
contemplated by the law, and they are
practically the best auxiliaries of the
legislature.

Intelligence has still under considera-
tor the subject OF insurance in case

cites grant to the heirs of their de-

Uncharted Rock in
Sea Fatal to Thirty
Captain of State of California,
Wrecked, Freed From Blame
by Board.

SEATTLE. Sept 2O.-The thirty
passengers and sailors who per-
ished in the wreck of the steamship
state Of California, commanded by
Captain r. H. Cam. in Gambler Bay,
Alaska, lost their lives primarily be
cause Of the failure of the Govern
ment Coast and Geodetic Survey forces
to locate and chart the rock on which
the vessel struck.
Such effect is the decision of the
United States Marine Inspection
Board which investigated the death
dealing disaster.
The decision of the board is now in
the mails and on its way to Wash
ington. It holds that neither Captain
Cam nor any of the officers was to
blame.
