EMPLOYERS BILL
HITS THE FARMERS
They Should Ask the Legislature to
Postpone Action Until
-,
Next Term.

While the employers liability bills
that are now before the legislature,
are not supposed to touch the farmer,
the facts are that they do hit him an
awful hard lick. On the face OF them,
these bills exempt the farmer, but II
enacted into law they will be an aw-
full blow on the farm industry as we'll
as the manufacturing industry OF
Iowa.
The Clarkson bill for instance, II
made into law, does not allow its
compensation principles to apply to
any man who Is working on the farm
or in a factory or shop that employs
less than five men. 1t does not allow
farm hand to participate in any bene-
fits-but It does not protect him from
accident. Thus it will be seen that to
enact that bill into law, will be to
make a law that will keep people from
working on the farm. A man will re-
fuse to work on the farm because he
is not protected while working on the
farm, but is allowed to come under
this law II he is working in the factory,
therefore, he will not work on the farm
if he can get job in the factory.
That will make it still harder for
the farmer to get help than it is now,
and it will also, on account of the farm
hand not being protected, make the
farmer have to pay a great deal higher
wages than he is paying now in order
to get any help at all.
So it is easy to see that while there
has been an attempt to fool the farmer
in this matter, the facts are that he
will be hit harder than any one else,
because he will have to pay higher
wages to get any help, and when it be-
comes further known that the farmer
and the farm hand as far as accident
and recovery are concerned do not
come under the compensation law,
the farmer will not be able to get any
help at all without paying very high
wages. That will make him worse off
than the man who operates factory
and does not have any accidents. 1t
will be continuous drag on the
farmer.
1t is plain to see that no one yet
has enough knowledge of this en-
ployers' liability matter to for just
and equitable law. There are thirteen
or fourteen states that have tried 1t.
but they are worse mixed up now
than they were before. y 10 81. ~ =.
The people of Iowa should immed-
lately write to their legislators and
tell them to not take any action on
the matter at all this year.
They can by waiting little while
get the benefit of experiments Of those
other states. There is no need to
now rush into something wrong.
These bills come up for hearing next
Tuesday, and the farmers should
write at once to their legislators to
not take any action this term.

RULING.

No one can reasonably find fault with
the presidents decision not TO send troops
to Brownsville and Laredo at this time.
We are not to conclude that Mr.. Wilson
refuses to give us protection when we
need it. The ruling is the outgrowth Of
q present policy and not the announce
ment Of 4 future one. At this particu-
lar crisis the hurrying of any consider
able body Of troops TO the border might
easily be misunderstood. Whether mis-
understood by the Mexican government
or not. it might easily he miSrcpreSent-
a by interested politicians anxious to
intensity any anti American sentiment
that may exist in thai country. After
ali, there is no hurry. There does not
appear to be any important movement
of troops at this time in TamaulipaS. Oar
relations with the soldiers in our neigh
horh0od are %pcacablc. At this lime Ill
political parties are disposed to stand by
the president in his attempts 70 bring
about peace. No part of the nation il

MONDAY, AUGUST %, 1913,
BEGIN RIGHT AWAY.

Accepting the inability Of the county to
improve the court house grounds as a
settled fact, there remains but one course
open for the people of Brownsville, and
Cameron County, and that is to raise
funds for its improvement by private
subscription. The Herald has suggested,
and still suggests. that the Civic League
take charge of the matter and push It
not only in Brownsville but i'll every town
in the country. The civic pride OF the
county, be it observed, is as much con
cerned as that Of Brownsville. For the
splendid new building just turned over
to the county. is an asset Of the coun-
ty-of the whole county. Not a public
spirited man in the county, surely, vii!
want to see the building site become q
sea Of yellow mud. or be washed into gul-
lies by the fall and winter rains. The
leaving Of the grounds without lawn or
shrubbery will mean The constant detcri-
Grafton Of the property. The more II is
exposed in that way the greater will its
u~gliness increase and the more We shall
be ashamed to show the property to
strangers.
However, leaving all that TO be taken
for granted. il is well enough for us to
remember the r%ight-now element in the
situation. This work, if it is to he under
taken at all, should be taken up 1T once
and should be pushed vigorously. The
longer a situation like the present exists.
the more hopeless il becomes, the more
difficult to interest people III it, and the
more people are disposed to accept it as
a matter of course.
Perhaps we shall not be able. mmedl-
ately, to get all the money we need +"
the permanent Improvement of the
grounds, but at least something can be
done-something to check the ravageS Of
the Notwithstanding in in the dircc-
ton of a good lawn-SOmething in the
way of planting a few trees. If we can
not, with the money we shall be able to
raise. do a first class job Of landscape
gardening, we can outline future work
and make a beginning of it. a county with
the most beautiful court house in thc
state. architecturally considered, ShOule
adOrn it with the most beautiful grounds
in the state.
