WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW

One of the purposes of the legislat-
ure in creating the state compensa-
tion insurance fund was to make in
dustrial insurance accessible to the
emallest employer in the remotest
neeks and corners of the state, and
with that end in view it was enacted.
that
"The commission shall furnish
schedules of rates and copies of form
of policy to the clerk and to the treas
urer of every county. city and county
and city in the state, and it shall be
the duty of every public officer to
whom the foregoing may be furnished
to fill out insurance fund applications
for compensation insurance in such
fund.-"
The commission is preparing to pro-
vide every city and county clerk and
treasurer with the necessary manual
of rates and classiications and print

ed matter. in order that they may be
enabled, for the convenience of the en-
ployer seeking insurance, to comply
with the law.
For the information of those who
look upon the compulsory workmen's
compensation, insurance and safety
act as an unreasonable burden upon
employers, it is pointed out that the
United States. in place of leading in
this sort of legislation, is among the
last countries to adopt it.
About 80 years ago Germany took
the initiative and established work
mems compensation as being along the
lines of wise, humane and beneficent
legislation, in order that the worker,
who is least able to do SO, might not
be compelled longer to carry the full
burden of industrial accidents, which
tend to throw him below the poverty
line, to the misfortune Of himself, his
dependents and society.
The wisdom and justice of the Ger
man policy has since appealed so

strongly to the worlds wisest states
men that today thirty industrial ma
tions and twenty-five American states
have followed Germany's lead and have
come under compensation, thus mini

which cripple their earning power and
uniustly make them and their depend
ents burdens upon others and upon
society. Under workmen's eompensa-
ton the burden is shifted where it be-
longs-to industry itself.
The tax, being a common tax upon
all employers, is, as rule, passed on
and made a part of the cost of produc-
ton or distribution, and hence finally
and proberly placed on the consuming
public. In this way the industrial
worker bears only his proper proper
ton of the load through the slight
added cost of the industrial products
which he consumes.
The saving to the people of the state
in the great reduction in the number
of damage suits in the courts, and
the fact that not society, through in
creased taxation for the support of
crippled workers, widows and or
phans, but the industry itself will
have to stand the cost of caring for
the manned and killed workers and
their dependents, will on the whole
more than Offset the social cost of in
dustrial accident insurance, to say
nothing of the value to society in hav-
ing the injured worker retain his self
respect by receiving compensation in
stead of charity. In place of the work
ment's compensation act being piece
of freak legislation, passed by freak
legislature, as has been alleged, it
ranks among the wisest legislation
ever enacted by the state of Califor-
MIA. The state, however, is entitled
" liIIiS SASuil 1oi having pooScu IiiS
act. The credit for such legislation is
due to the worlds greatest statemen,
who long since anticipated California's
action. California, however, is en-
titled to credit for having enacted
what has been declared by experts to
be the best compensation act that has
thus far been devised.
Notwithstanding the exclusion of
the farm laborers from the benefits for
accidental injury, many farmers are
electing to come fully within the op-
Grafton of the new law, in the behalf
that it affords them greater protec-
tion by limiting the cost of accidents,
than would be the case if they were to
take their chances of puossible heavy
damages in suits at law. Election to
come under the compensation law and
insurance against the liability for
compensation gives to the farmer COM
plete protection.
The state compensation insurance
fund is proving a pronounced success
as evidenced by the hundreds Of appli-
cations for insurance, which have al
ready been registered by employers.
