GOOD NEWS FOR WORKERS
AND EMPLOYERS

There is to be an increase in com
pensation awards for those injured
and the dependents OF those killed in
industrial accidents, while the prem
ium rates are to be lowered, according
to an announcement which has been
made by the State Industrial Commits
sion. But for the enactment of the
compensation law, private liability in
surance companies, not the workers
and employers, would reap the benefit
from surplus in the administration of
such funds
Legislative authority will have to
be obtained for increasing the maxi
mum compensation awards, as the fig
ures are fixed by statute This sched.
ule was recognized to be temporary,
and it was the understanding that #
circumstances warranted tue scale of
awards should be advanced.
Since the compulsory act has been
in effect the opponents Of the princt
pie OF wortmens compensation have
found opportunity to indulge in free
criticism, the bulk OF which has been
that the Industrial Commission has
been niggardly in making awards and
that the law itself placed too low a
valuation on human Life Against the
schedule Of awards to dependents in
case of death and against awards to
injured were set up q few large Jury
yerdicts.
While asserting that the base from
which the attack has been made is an
utterly false one, and that the aver,
age compensation is much greater
than, under the old system, whlch the
compensation law supplauted, the In.
dustrial Commission is planning to
take away from the opposition their
last argument by recommending a
more liberal schedule.
Commenting ou this plan Governor
James NJ Cox has said that the indi.
cations justify me prediction he made
at the beginning that the compeusa.
tIon measure would permit lower rates
to employers and largo monetary re.
turns to the dependents OF those Killed
and to injured workman.

FOR THE DeposIroRs

To save money for the depositors,
State Bank Superintendent Lattanner
has notified the special deputies in
charge of defunct banks at Murray Ci-
ty, Beach City and Crown City to briug
the remaining assets to the state
liquidating bureau in Columbus for
further collections. The three depu-
ties will thus be taken from the pay
rolls, and in addition to their salaries,
rentals and other miscellaneous ex-
penses will be saved for the deposit
ors.
The bank at Crown City has paid a
dividend of rs per cent, and 1t Is be-
lieved it will pay the depositors in full,
as well as small dividend to the
stockholders. The Murray City bank,
through the diligent efforts of the
banking department, compelled the
owners to put up sum of money, and
it will pay the depositors in full, as a
result. The Beach City bank has paid
40 per cent and will pay another divi-
dend of 20 per cent soon.
In administering the affairs of the
Plain City bank, Superintendent Lat
tanner forced the owners to put up
$4,000 to take up a like amount of bad
assets. The owners of another bank
in a. different part of the state were
forced to buy up 100000 of bad as.
sets, and the institution, thus cleans
ed, reorganized, and is today in a
fiourishing condition.
Superintendent Lattanner has adopt
ed the common sense method of fore,
ing the owners of defunct banks to
buy up the bad assets their negligence
permitted to creep into the affairs of
such institutions, and the depositors
benefit. Another innovation that will
win hearty approval of all who have to
rely upon financial institutions is that
which requires bankers to secure in.
formation as to the financial condi.

measure OF economy as well as OF
wide reaching benefit to the schools
of the state. The falsehoods which
have been told of it will be exploded
and the people who have been de-
ceived respecting it will support the
governor all the more enthusiastically
for the doubts they may have enter
tanned. The license law, which is the
real source of what there is of or
ganized discomfort with the state ad-
ministration, is proving itself, day by
day, the wisest temperance measure
of a generation. It closed 5000
saloons in Ohio in a single night, it
put the business into the hands of
picked citizens only, native born or
naturalized, and 1t automatically,
through fear of loss of licenses, en-
forces the Sunday laws and early
closing ordinances as they were never
enforced before in the history of the
state. All this makes great record
Of achievement upon which Governor
Cox will appeal with confidence to the
people for a second term.
What has Mr.. Whitacre 10 oppose
to this? AS a congressman we can
not find that he has introduced a
single important measure. He certain
ly has not impressed himself upon
congress or his party or the country
as a strong man. He is chiefly noted
as congressman for his failure to at
tend session Of the house.

oHIo's NEW SYSTEM
(Cincinnati Enouirer(

Cincinnati Enquirer)
The new system of taxation in the
state of Ohio has been the subject Of
much criticism, and 1t is possible that
some Of it has been souhdly based;
that the system is perfect could
hardly be expected, but it must be,
and should be judged only by its final
results.
That the personal property returns
in the state will be enormously in
creased in value seems now assured,
and the resultant revenues to
the state should bring a large re-
duction in the amounts heretofore col
lected upon realty values is logical
conclusion, conclusion that should
bring qualification to the taxpayers
who have for years paid so heavily
Oh their real estate holdings.
1t has been accepted as an axiom
demonstrated truth, that renters OF
all classes of realty are called upon
to bear the burden OF taxation upon
such property, and this large class OF
our population will also be benefited
through the reduction that now seems
certain to come in the near future in
the tax rates throughout Ohio.
The Assessors and the Boards OF
Review are not apt to impose taxation
upon those who are not liable to it
under the laws of the state, and they
undoubtedly will be most considerate
iu listening TO complaints of errone-
Gus listing or excessive valuations.
The many millions of dollars OF
value which are being added to the
tax duplicate Of the counties and the
state should and win afford relief to
those real estate holders In cities,
towns and farming districts who in
al the past years have borne such an
unfair proportion OF the city, county
and state taxation.
These increased valuations upon
the tax duplicates afford no warrant
for city, county or state extravaganza,

Have a round steak cut quite thin
and spread over IL a layer of dressing
such as you use tostuff turkey, only
have it even more highly seasoned.
Begin at one end and roll up the steak
carefully and tie so as to keep it's
shape. Bake in a hot oven as you
would roast, have a little butter and
water in the pan and baste often. 1t
should cook long, time in order to be
tender, and if it gets too brown cover
with another pan. When done make a
gravy or the drippings just as you
would for roast.
Ham en- Casserole
Select a slice of ham about two
inches thick from the center of the
ham. After trimming the edges place
in the casserole. Pour over it two
cups of tomatoes and a sweet, green
pepper and small onion which have
been ground in the food chopper.
Place a bay leaf on top, cover and
bake in a very slow oven about two
hours, or about five to six hours in a
fireless cooker. The sauce should be
thickened, and may be poured around
the ham after it has been removed
to a platter. When one has had
enough beef and lamb this dish is a
tasty change.-St. Paul Dispatch.
Fried Apple Sauce
Quarter, core and pare the apples.
In thick skillet slowly cook a large
tablespoonful of butter until it is a
pale brown. Pack in the apples, drop
half teaspoonful of butter in bits
over the top, cover closely and place
somewhat to one side of the fire that
the cooking may not be too fast. When
the apples are fairly tender, sprinkle
over them as much sugar as you think
will make them fairly sweet, but do
not stir. When done turn carefully in
to serving dish and send hot to the
table with pitcher of cream. Toledo

THE STATE UNIVERSITY

We:have been Unfortunately proud of
cur State University, and have fondly
dreamed of the time when it would be-
come the leading educational institu-
tion in the Republic, a great Demo-
cratic seat of lealning, where every
worthy young man and woman in the
state and many from outside states
could obtain all the. advantages OF
classical and scientific training at the
minimum expense of books; board and
rainment.
Now it is charged by the Anoka I'm
ion and other leading country news
papers that by. the imposition OF high
entrance fees and various other Excess
sive University charges, it is matter
Of extreme difficulty for any except
the children of the wealthy to enjoy
its advantages.
Many fathers have stated to us that
they can educate their children at
HamIine, Carleton, or the Wisconsin,
Michigan or Chicago Universities at
a much less expense than they can at
our own state University.
We do not know. whether these
statements are true or are only the
fatuous phantasies formed in the dis
ordered creamery Of ! disorganized
ninds: the ill-formed criticisms Of ir-
responsible critics, but if only mod
icum of these statements are true
they consulate grevious wrong that
shousd be speedily righted.
If it costs as much to educate IN
our State University az it does in in
solutions receiving no state appropri-
ations, why the State University !!
