NEW LIABILITY LAW
EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY
MANY HAVE NOT YET ARRANG
ED TO COMPLY WITH
ITS TERMS

1t has become apparent that when
Sept 1 arrives tomorrow not more
than 25 per cent of the employers af-
fected by the new compensation law
viii have complied with its terms by
arranging for payment under the sup
ervision of the Industrial Commission
Of damages accruing Hereunder. The
disposition among employers is to Sc
cure their employees under the law,
however and it is expected that the
Industrial Commission will be reas-
enably lenient. Organization of re-
clprocal and mutual companies to
handle this line of business has de-
layed action on the part of many EN-
ployers who intend to enter these com
panies and who are not able to do so
al once owing to the inchoate condi-
tion of some OF them
In connection with the reciprocal
and mutual and so-called interinsur-
ance associations that are arranging
to carry risks under the compensa-
ton law, there is likely to be consid-
cradle discussion among members of
the state insurance board and insur-
ance agents as to the rates to be es-
tablished by these associations. Some
of the stock companies seek to have
the insurance board make the rates
for them the same as the rates filed
in behalf of the liability companies by
the rating bureau to which the lat
ter are subscribers. The disposition
of the associations is to make the
rates much lower than the rating bu-
reau figures. In view of the fact
that the associations do not cover any
liability save that specified in the
law, while stock companies cover the
common law risks as well, it is not
likely that the insurance board will
see fit to establish a flat rate.

MA CONGRESSMAN, HALF
BIOOD INDIAN TO ATTEND

Once again the Indians of the
United States are gathering their
forces for a great council. Bleeding
Kansas has been chosen as the state
on which the red men viii descend
and Lawrence, the home OF John
Brown will be the city of their visi-
tation. They viii come subtly armed
for fight in behalf of their nation
al rights and for their responsibilities
as American men and women.
Unlike the old time councils or
raids upon settlements they will come
as college and professional men, as
teachers, professors, congressman,
farmers, scientists, editors, clerks,
and stockmen, armed with facts and
with intellectual weapons only. The
scene Of their council will be Kansas
university, where will be held the an
nual conference of the Society OF
American Indians on September 2Sth
to October 4th.
Most of the leading Indians of the
country are members Of this organ
ization and with them are enrolled as
associate members hundreds of prom
inent citizens, both men and women.
Six college presidents are associate
Indians" and editors, army men, edu-
Gators, scientists. and plain citizens
by scores and hundreds are backing
up the Society OF American Indians
in its fight for better conditions for
the red race. The society has no con-

Washington, although 1t has head
quarters in the Barrister building, in
Washington, where it Watches the
