OLD LINE INSURANCE
COMPANIES PLAN INCREASE
Plans Are Offered to Combat the
Workmen's Compensation Provisions
--Babcock Gives Out Interview

G. d. Babcock, member of the
the state workmans compensation com
mission, gave out the following inter
view this morning concerning some OF
the ratings and revised plans now in
effect;
elf there are any employers in Ore
gon wno contemplate rejecting the pro
visions Of the workmcn's Is compensation
act doubtless they will be interested in
knowing that on July ] there will be
q sharp increase in the rates of the old
line companies for liability insurance.
Three plans will be offered in opposi-
ton to the compensation act and will
be known as plans A, 'B' and g.
Plan "a is an overhead policy design
ed to protect the employer who is un-
der the compensation act from possible
litigation--a very remote contingency.
This is the form of contract which the
tne attorney general has held to be
void and unenforceable. The rates un'
der plan A., after July /, as quoted
to typical plant in the logging and
lumber business, will be as follows:
Sawmil, planning mill, sash and
door factories, including yards,

Jim Ward, who has more ups and
downs in life than most folks, being
engaged in running the elevator at the
Capitol annex, had one down this morn
ing that is not on his regular run. In
addition to operating the elevator he
has small cabinet where he keeps a
stock of cigars and candy. This morn
ing some time between 6:15 and 200
o'clock some callous hearted sinner
pried open the door of the cabinet and
took all the candy and about five dol
lars in small change. AS the candy
was taken and the cigars not disturbed,
Ward is of the opinion that the thief
was yOungster. Ward was at one
time on the police force under Captain
Dilley, and may make it hot when he
gets to sleuthing the case. What makes
the theft unusually annoying is that
jim had set his heart on going to see
Queen Thelma, and says it is now all
off. "That $500 was too heavy loss
to permit a visit on top of it, said
jim this morning, and Queen Thelma
will have to get along without any
homage from this loyal but unfortunate
subject.

before Judge Galloway. The suit was
brought to set aside the decree of par

the proportions of family row of some

the question of division.
George G. Bingham is appearing for
the defendants, and Carson lnman

The application Of the Home Tele-
graph & Telephone Company, doing
business in Medford, Gold Hill, Jack
sonville and Rogue River asking the
railroad commission for permission to
increase its rates was passed upon by
the commission this morning. The com
pany wanted to raise rates 30 per cent,
but this the commissioners held was
too much. 1t was however given per
mission to raise its rates from 20 to DC
cents month for certain services. The
commission says the rates charged do
not return sufficient income on the in-
vestmcnt, but points out that a raise
as large as asked for would cause many
to stop using the phones, as the price
would in many cases be prohibitive, and
so would result in loss to the com
pany. The commission in fact says the
company is in bad way but that it
cannot help it out. 1t thinks though
the compromise rate fixed by it viii
come as near solving the matter as any
thing that can be done
