Few people realize the vast and
berefcent changes that have been
brought about in the relations of capi-
tai and labor BY the State Industrial
Insurance Law and by the Industrial
Commission established by the late
Republican legislature. 1t will be re-
membered that they are distinctiveIy
Republican measures and we're forced
through the legislature by Governor
Carlson and Speaker Stewart over
both the secret and open opposition
of the Democracy. These two meas
ures have been in active operation
since August lst
Previous to that time an injured
man knew it woul dbe useless to sue
his employer unless he could prove
that the accident was due to his EN-
ployer's negligence and that his own
|carelessness was not a contributing
cause. Even when the workmen had

of the employer TO deny all responsi.
bility until a court had decided that
damages were due. AS q result. the
victim Of an accident had TO depend
Upon his own savings to support him
self and provide for medical treatment
while be was disabled and was oblig.
ed frequently to wait years before re
ceiying indemnity. And when it was
at last received. more than likely he
had to split it with the lawyer who
took his case.
All this is now changed. Since
August l the employer has been re-
quired TO provide medical attention to
an employe injured at his work. and
to give all necessary care. including
hospital services for thirty days follow
ing the injury. In addition to this the
injured man has compensation paid
at regular intervals, commencing with

OF establishing in Canon City plan;
for the reduction OF moiyodenum, OF
which large quantities Of ore are re-
ported to exist In Fremont county.
Molybdenum is used in toughenins

mand in the steeimaking industry. Mr..
Davis said that there were deposits OF

tance of Canon City that assay as
high as fifty per cent pure metal.
Molybdeum is worth something like
$4,000 a ton. A. r. Livingston in re-
sponse to an inquiry from Mr.. Davis

local merchants carry a better class
OF goods than mail order houses that
they were unable to compete with

Office of Commissioner OF
Motor Vehicles, Frankfort

The Automobile Department at
Frankfort will contribute to the State
road fund for the year 1915 about $780,
600. This is double the receipts of any
previous year.
When the 1915 plates were ordered,
more than year ago, it was estimated
that 10000 pairs would be sufficient but
more than $500 have already been is
sued.
The total receipts of the Office to date
this year are $l02, 200. and this would
have been very materially increased but
from the fact that $3.50 old cars and
all new cars have paid only the proper
tionate part of the fee for the license to
run to Jan. 1st. 1916.
When the Acts of the General Assem-
bly, of 1914 became effective there were
5, $50 licenses that did not expire Jan.
1st, but ran into 1915. These were the
series &c" licenses with tags of black
with letters in white. This has caused
much confusion as there were two kinds
of tags good during the first six months
of 1915 and many people were laboring
under the impression that large num-
Der of cars were being operated on i'm
proper license.A This confusion was
removed on June 18th and tags now in
use should show the date '19l5'' on the
right hand end of the plates.
Local officers in many places are ar
raStinO all motorists Sean with i'm nronar
tags, and to avoid trouble all drivers
should see that cars are registered for
this year and are carrying tags with q
white background with red letters.
In 1916 when all cars now IN the state
must renew their licenses and pay the
full fee for the year there should be col
lected for the highways of the state
not less than $4,000 and probably
much more

ESTIMATED YIELD
OF Tobacco Crop for Year 1915.
Increase Predicted Over Last
Year. Kentucky Placed
At 34O,O15 Acres
OF The Weed.
"BUMPER" TOBACCO CROP.

The tobacco crop of the United States
for 1915 will be considerably larger than
that of 1914. This fact is clearly es-
tablished by the reports received from
well posted correspondents in every to
bacco growing county in Kentucky,
Ohio and Indiana and from authoritative
sources in the various important tobacco
producing States.
In Kentucky, which is the largest to-
bacco-producing section in the world, a
total of $40, OILS acres has heen set, as
against 329, $40 acres planted in 1914,
making an increase this year of 8,175
or slightly more than per cent. The
Kentucky acreage will probably yield a
total of 321, 114,2 pounds as against
$40, 683, 500 pounds last year, making an
increase for 1915 of 10, APO. $50 pounds or
slightly more than per cent.
A liberal estimate of the hurley crop
of 1915 may be made as follows:
Kentucky, 100. 900 acres; Ohio, 10000
acres; Indiana 1890 acres; West Vir
GINA and scattering sections, 5000
acres; total, 1SS.940 acres. The tota
estimated hurley acreage at planting
time last season was 1877, ITO acres
Thus decrease of $3.50 acres or al
most per cent, is indicated. The har
vested hurley acreage in 1914 was 1919,
sos acres, some counties having overes
timated the damage done by the droutl
early in the season at planting time
and it is likely that with favorable grow
ing seasons throughout the current sum
mer the final hurley yield will be a
least within per cent of the crop O
1914. The harvested hurley areas o
p evious years follow: 1913. 1861
acres; 1912, 213, 401 sores; 1911. 1873. 0S
acres; 1910, 294, 900 acres; 1909, 254, 80
acres.
The average hurley yield per acr
fluctuated between 900 and ], 200 pound
{ and, estimating the total crop on basi
of 925 pounds to the acre, a total yiel
of ia, 1853, 500 pounds is indicated 70
1915 Last year the estimated burle
yield at planting time was 1872, 937, %
D pounds and the harvested productio
y was 200, 379, 200 pounds. The harveste
, yield in 1913 was 176, 1869, 500 pounds
