FORMS OF WoRKINGMEN'S
 COMPENSATION LAW

Workmen's compensation systems, writes Hon. W. V. Tanner In the Sep tember Case and Comment, may be ap propriately classified according to the incidence of liability:
 (a) Individual liability
 tb) Collective liability
 Co State liability.
 Tn acts providing fo individual lia-
 lity, the employer Is required to com pensate workmen for injuries arising out of, and in the course of their em- ployment, regardless of the question of fault. This Is the plan adopted in England.
 The collective liability system Is H. lustrated by the German law, under which employers and workmen are rouped by industries, and, under state nompulsion and supervision. each in 1ustry required to provide funds for compensation for injuries occurring in he respective groups.
 Under the state liability plan, the state assumes the burden of providing compensation for injuries to workmen, ewing the cost upon the employers, or upon the employers and employees jointly.
 The time has passed for a discussion of the desirability of the adoption of some form of workingmen's compensa- tion as a substitution for the negli- gence- litigation system A majority of the states have abandoned the lem ployers' liability" idea, implying some negligence of the employer, and en- acted laws designed to provide a money compensation for work accidents, re- gardless of questions of fault. And the recognized merit of the compensa- tion system will compel its general adoption.
