asm for this development work, so

bility system. Statistics show that
under this system only one dollar out
of four paid by the employer to the
insurance company for protection
ever reaches the injured workman or
his family. Seventy-five per cent of
the premiums go to the middleman-
to the lawyer, insurance agent and
for the incidental expenses OF resist
ing or settling the claim. From the
standpoint of the general taxpayer
the old system is quite as unsatisfac-
tory. The average citizen, though an
innocent bystander, is called upon to
maintain courts and juries and all
the machinery of the law to settle
controversies in which he is not di-
rectly concerned and which profit no.
body except the insurance people and
! the attorneys.
About two years ago Governor
West appointed commission to pre-
pare compensation bill for submis-
sion to the 1913 session of the legis-
lature. This commission was COM
posed of three representatives of the
employers, three of labor and three
of the Grange and the state at large.
After nearly year spent in thor
ough study of the entire subject, in
Guiding the laws and experiences of
other states and countries, this com
mission submitted a bill which with
some slight changes was passed by
the legislature almost Unanimously,
and at the referendum election in
November last was approved by the
people by vote OF more than two
to one. The law became effective
Immediately after the election in so
far as the organization of the COM
mission was concerned, but the in
surance features of the act do not
become operative until July l, 1914.
The law provides for the creation
of an Industrial accident fund made
up by contributions from the en-
ployer, employe and the state.
The law is purely elective, both in
its application to the employer and
employe, either of whom may elect
to come in or stay out. However
the act provides that certain occupa-
tons, specifically designated as haz-
ardous, shall automatically come un-
der the provisions of the act on July
/, 1914, unless on or before June Is,
1914, employers shall give notice OF
their election not to become subject
to the provisions of the law. Work
men in these industries have fifteen
days longer in which to make thsil
election, or until June 80, 1914. In
all other occupations the employer
and his workmen must file notice
with the commission II they desire to
take advantage OF the act.
Two classes of occupations are de.
