damage suits under the common law,
elected compensation in order to be
entirely relieved from suits although
exempted by the act. For compara-
tivly small amount each farmer and
fruit grower can procure insurance
soverage, under compensation, that is
exactly what it should be. A feature
especially gratifying to employers that
is incorporated in tne new law is the
section that nullifies proceedings
against the employer Il he carries 4
regular policy.
"one objection that has been raised
to the new law is the cost Of insurance,
1t is true the rates are high, but the
opportunities for reductions are excel.
lent. There is no reliable data on hand
on which to base rate. A years ex-
perience will help materially. Some
lines Of business already haxe expert
enced reductions. Other changes are
in contemplation. But the one method
that will meet with universal approval
is the plan to lower the rates for each
employer who lessons the hazards in
his place of business. Each safety pre-.
caution will result in credit on tho
premium and will thus pay for itself
eventually and, in the meantime, deaths
and accidents to the workers will be
prevented. The merit.rating plan, which
soon will be installed by both the state
and the private insurance companies,
will be the most pronounced factor in
assisting the employer over what is col.
ceded to be difficult part of the com.
pensation road. "

Advises High School to Send Out Grad
yates Who Are More Particular as
to Exact Facts.

"What the Newspaper Demands OF
the Schools" was discussed at the high
school yesterday afternoon by Prof
Eric W. Allen, of the department of
journalism, of the University of Ore
gon. "Giye us accuracy" was the cry
that he said was rising from every city
editor in the land. He added that a
young man who could be definitely
classified as very accurate could prob
ably make living in any business, in
cluding the newspaper business.
"NOw and then am outside student
is attracted to my classes" he said,
"whose hair has begun to turn gray.
When this man comes in know have
student who will be much chagrined
if am able to show him where he has
been inaccurate. But the young people,
the freshmen, the high school gradu-
ates of today, are inaccurate when they
come to us, and what is more, they
know it, and do not greatly care. Is It
not possible for you to give us students
who have already acquired habits of
accuracy, and who are ready to add to
this foundation"
Mr.. Allen advised against giving
courses in high school under such a
name as journalism" is it might en-
courage students to think of entering,
without further preparation, voca-
tion which ought to be the most learned
and highly skilled profession, if it is to
fulfill its immense opportunities of ser
vice to the state.

Works Satisfactorily.

'While its life has been short the
new situation is working out satisfact-
orily. Instead Of uncertainty there Is
certainty. Employers are also relieved
from the dread of damage suits. Their
obligation is fixed, and insurance, defi-
mite in character, may be claimed by tho
employer TO meet the cost. In the
majority of instances the employer is
adding this cost to the expense Of
doing business.
Z" A few employers have endeavored
10 subtract the cost Of the accident in.
surance from the wages of their en-.
pioyes. This system has been generally
resisted. Where the employees are IN.
organized they have had little or no
redress. Where hey are organized a
different status was presented and the
attempts at reductions have been few
and far between. II is certain that
this situation will right itself later and
that no further efforts will be made
TO charge workingmen and working
women with the cost. The men and
women of labor take all the risks Of
industry and when lives and limbs are
contributed to production, they should
be paid for exactly as all other items
that enter into cast are included
