Must Pay for the Paper.

Judge George Thomas, of Columbus,
Neb., recently decided that If a man
accepts a paper that is sent him he
must pay for it. The decision WAS
rendered in the case brought by the
Columbus (Neb.) Telegram against a
man for $2.35. The Telegram had
been sent to the mans home and he
had accepted the paper. When called
upon to pay for it he refused and
suit was brought. When Judge Thorn
as heard the evidence he instructed
the jury to bring in a verdict for the
Telegram. Judge Thomas ruled that
the old common law principle that
what man received and used he was
bound to pay for applied in this in.

A Prose Poem.

Rev. Donald T. Grey, pastor of the

this suggestion of the meaning of the

out the Gospel Of the Open Air, and
then squeeze it down to the size Of q
postage stamp, illustrate it with q
smily Santa Claus, illuminate it with
CHEEKY red and green of holly, and
bind it with a penny given to send q
consumptive on his way whole and

ished you will have q Red Cross

that the state would take care of

The careful, humane employer.
who guards his machinery and his
working force, is thus at disad-
vantage in competing wit hthe reck-
less manager. Also. he has to bear
the expense of paying for the lnjur-
les in the plant where there are no
safeguards.
This system will be effectually
checked by the first-aid measure. Ev-
ehy accident, if it is passed, is going
to cost the immediate employer some
money right away, which cost can not
be distributed among all the other
units in the industry.
1T will penalize from the start
the careless and the reckless man
agem ent, and it will work most for
chilly thereby to the great ultimate
goal of accident prevention in all ex-
ira hazardous industries.

PROHIBITION AND BUSINESS

The advocates of the liquor traffic
contend that prohibition will have a
rulnous effect on business by throw
ing men out of employment and de-
stroylng profitable market for
farm products. Let us see about it.
Inc cost of manufacturing a gallon
OF whiskey is estimated at about 20
cents for the raw material and labor.
Retailed over the bar at 10 cents a
drink, gallon of whiskey would sell
for $500. The difference between
the cost and the retail price of beer
Is proportionately large. Suppose
that the manufacture and sale of in
toXlcating liquors should be sup
pressed in the United States. Then
vast majority of the people who
have been spending money for liquor
would use their earnings to buy food
clothing, shoes and other necessities
and comforts of life for themselves
and their families. This would mean
an increased sale of some $4,75O,O0O
OF these commodities every week day
of the year.
This increase in sales would start
every factory in the country working
to the limit of its capacity and would
furnish work to all those thrown out
OF employment by the destruction of
the liquor industry and to all the idle
men in the country. 1t would create
an increased demand for meat, and
flour and all the products of the
farm, and this increased demand
would be followed by higher prices
to the farmers for these products.
Most of the saloons do cash bust
ness. If the money squandered each
day in the saloons of any town or
city should be spent in the stores of
that community what a wonderful
improvement in business there would
be and what gratifying increase in
the cash receipts of the merchants.
Instead of going into the already
bullying Golfers of few millionaire
brewers and whiskey manufacturers
the bulk of this daily disbursement
OF $4,750,000 would go into the pock-
cts of the laboring men, merchants
and manufacturers, and instead of
being spent for something which
Injuries every person who buys it, and
brings misery and unhappines to
millions of women and children, the
money would be used in the purchase
of household necessities and COM
forts which would give sustenance
and pleasure to those women and
children.
The government legislates to con-
serve the natural resources and to
promote the industrial welfare of
the nation. Why should it not legis-
late to conserve its most precious re-
source, its citizenship, and to pro-
mote the social welfare and happi-
ness of its people?

INITIATIVE MEASURE NO. o

j. c. Lawrence, former member
of the Public Service Commission,
has prepared the following argument
in support of initiative measure No.
9.
This law is drawn as belated act
of justice for the industrial insur-
ance system that Washington has
adopted. 1t was contemplated in the
original bill that first-aid to injured
should accompany the compensation
paid for loss of work and permanent
injuries. The legislature struck out
the provision.
After the law got into operation,
commissioners appointed to operate
it soon saw its absolute necessity,
and one man lost his position be-
cause he was so active in urging it's
adoption. 1t is a natural compile
ment to industrial insurance, this
first-aid requirement, by which the
injured workman will get prompt
treatment and not be obliged to him
self bear the cost of the accident
Then, too, there is the second
great consideration which favors the
passage of this bill. 1t will be the
best possible spur to the employer in
working for the prevention of acct
dents. 1t is a lamentable fact that
since the automatic state law has
gone into effect, accidents in extra
hazardous industries have increased
in number rather than diminished.
"The fact is that in many cases en-
ployers, realizing that the workmen
will be cared for if injured, have de-
liberately refrained from providing
safeguards and mourning any expense
to prevent accidents. In some cases
they have absolutely gone the other
way, and to expedite work have re-
moved safety provisions and rules

sloner power to inspect the plants
and books of the fish and oyster COM
panies to see that they are comply
ing with the law. There is nothing
in it that savors of special legislation
for the farmers or laboring men.
While the measure prohibiting the
collection of fees for securing en-
ployment and the one adding a first
aid clause to the industrial insurance
law will benefit the laboring class
more than anyone else, they are
aimed to correct generally admitted
abuses, and not to confer any unfair
privileges.
1t is therefore apparent that the
organizations backing the Seven
Sisters are not actuated by selfish
motives.
How about those who are opposing
them?
The blue sky measure is being
| fought by every scheming promoter
and by the brokers and mining men
who are not willing to have the mer-
its of their propositions Investigated
and passed upon by the state. They
have a selfish motive in defeating
the bill.
The measures abolshing the Blu
reau of Inspection and Supervision of
Public Offices and the State Tax
Commission are opposed by the poll
ticians who want the maximum num-
Der of jobs to distribute and by the
party workers who are holding the
jobs or hope to secure them. They
have a selfish motive in defeating the
bill.
The road measure is opposed by
the enthusiasts who are more inter
ested in securing fine scenic high
ways for automobiles than in the
construction of good roads radiating
out of trading centers for the benefit
of the public, and by the contractors
who hope to make easy money out of
the road building. They have sell
fish motive in defeating the bill.
The measure relating to the fish
and oyster industries is being bitter
ly opposed by the men who have
grown rich out of that business at
the expense of the state. They have

All seven of the measures are be-

that its first trial will prove such a
feilure that the people will lose faith
in the reform and go back to the leg

THE FRIENDS AND ENEMIES OF
THE SEVEN SISTERS"

1t is already apparent that it is
going to take hard work and lots of
4 it to secure the adoption of the "Sev-
en- Sisters" measures prepared by the
Joint legislative committee of the
Farmers Union, State Grange, the
State Federation of Labor and the
Direct Legislation League. All of
these laws are aimed to benefit the
people of the whole state, and, as
Is usually the case with public well
fare measures, each one treads on
the toes of some selfish interest. All
OF these interests are combining to
fight the whole seven and they will
be assisted by the enemies of the di-
rect legislative system, who are as
determined to block it's use as they
we're to prevent its adoption.
