This incident is worth emphasizing.
for II marks the passing Of what was
once common and unnecessary hard
ship upon workingmen who have been
unfortunate enough to be caught In an
accident. According to a report on the
operations of the workmen's compen-
sation laws n the various states. made
public by a joint commission of the
American Federation Of Labor and OF
the National Civic Federation. litiSa-
ton in Just such accident cases has
disappeared in the states having
workmen's compensation laws.
There are twenty-five states having
such laws. the report shows. The
number Of working people affected by
these acts is 100000. Out Of 10000
compensation cases which have come
up since these laws went into effect,
only ten have gone into the courts for
settlement The rest came to agree
ments without litigation. The pay
ments of compensation to employees
Injured in the course of their work are
prompt. and usually commence at the
end Of the second or third week.
Great as are the benefit from these
compensation laws they are not with
out defects, according to the reports
Chief among these is lack of uniform
ity. A corporation employing men in
a number of states has to pay diff
ferent sums for the same injury IN diff
ferent states. With all their faults,
however. the commission says, the
present compensation laws mark a
substantial advance Of social justice.

ion of the compliments is the same:
If the roads had been dragged they

The roads are different. Most of us
older persons remember when they
We're vastly different. Young folks
may r-call a very different condition

The fact is that there have been few
days when an automobile couldn't get

pressing. And we have made this i'm

but they are so much better than they
used to be that comparison fails.
There was a period OF actual i'm
prisonment under the old road regime
every spring. A week of rainy wealth
er meant a week or more OF segrega-
ton. We couldn't get 10 town or get
out Of town. Every road had its bot
,omless pit and some OF them were
botto1nless practically for miles. We
had not learned 10 drain roads and
every low stretch was impossible ex-
cept TO sn.pe. It is different. Let's be
thankful it IS so and go on making
better highways.

years, this Improvement IN road max

ries TO the present is long way, but
j. isn't far between the crowned and
drained dirt road OF today and the
sunken, sloughy trail between fences.
The roads are different. They are diff
te-ent because OF legislation and ag;ta-
ton which has been cussed and con-
demned and finally approved. Let's all
quit cussing and get in the ROAD game,
have good roads and central schools
