Rome Was Not

u suggest to the man who

that great achievements are

the greatest city of ancient

cent that all other cities
were compared with imperial
Rome.
And Rome was not built in
q day She was not built in
a year nor in decade. Cen
turtles were required to make
the city what she was. to
give her the deserved reputa-
ton for wealth and beauty.
SO regulations and business
institutions are not. Wilt in
a day. One advertisements
no matter how well written
or how wellNcirculated, will
not build business success.
1t will merely help along the
good work That il will bring
immediate results Is certain,
and ii is also certain that 1t
will start in motion forces

Rideout Bill Discussed.

Among the pieces of legislation uoN
before the legislature is the Rdeout oil
employers liability bill. it was point
ed out last night that many believe
some such law is expected in Utah, al
though sentiment has not fully crystal
lized in the matter, and whatever is at
tempted should be carried out along
lines Of Justice and fairness to both the
employer and employee. George II
Dcrn, chairman Of the legislative com
mittec, explained the stand of the min
ing congress in this matter, which is
committed to the theory that the VIC
tims Of industrial accidents should he
cared for, and that every industry is
responsible for its own accidents,
Mr.. Dern said In part:
One of the chief advantages Of a
workmen's compensation law, from
an employers standpoint Us to do
away with litigation. Litigation is
wasteful. both OF money and time, TO
say nothing Of its effect on the
nerves. Furthermore, II tends to-
ward strained relation between the
employer and his men, and therefore

Liability Insurance.

As look ut it. another Of the prime
purposes OF proper compensation act
is that it will obviate the necessity
ar carrying employers insurance l
suppose most OF the operators pres
ent carry Insurance of that kind.
Probably very few Of us have ever
figured ou, what proportion OF the
premiums We have paid 10 Insurance
companies is paid back TO our en-
ployees In settlement Of claims.
7 think 1t is no very great secret
that liability insurance compa nies
only pay back about one-ttird Of
their premiums in losses. The other
two thirds goes for commissions, ex-
Denses. dividends. etc Now, then. II
II only takes one-third OF our pre-
miums to settle OUT accident claims.
it is os plain as the nose on your face
that, with the same kind Of adjust
ment under a compensa tion law, our
rates would be reduced: and with the
Same rates as we are now paying,
our injured men would get more
money.
Personally, I would rather see the
money go to the men who need it
surance companies because it would
promote harmonious relations be-
tween the employer and his men,
which. OF course. again spells eff
cheney. I have not the statistics to
back up my statement, but l am very
strongly OF the opinion that a proper
compensation law would not increase
the cost OF mining. | think We are
