State to Safeguard Fund.
Submission to the people of a con
s%titutional amendment enabling the
Legislature to enact a compulsory
workmen's compensation law and
making insurance compulsory on en-
ployers will be urged in a report to
be submitted to the Legislature by the
employers liability commission. of
which Walter E. Edge. president of
the Senate, is a member.
The report further urges the crea-
ton of a state insurance fupd to serve
as a safeguard against exorbitant rates
being charged by private companies.
Other recommendations made are the
administration of a compensation bu-
reau by the commissioner of labor,
the inclusion Of occupational diseases
in the provisions of the law and an in
crease of the compensation schedules.
prescribed by the present elective
compensation act.
Because of the present financial con-
dition in the State making any sub
~stantial appropriation an apparent i'm
possibility, the commission does not
favor any radical change in the ad-
ministration Of the compensation act
at this time.

City Celebration Bill.

A bill to enable Newark to properly
take care Of the financial end of the
celebration of the 250th anniversary
of the city in 1916 was introduced in
the Senate by Senator Austen Colgate.
The bill was drafted by former City
Counsel James R. Nugent, acting for
a subcommittee of the Committee of
One Hundred Citizens of Newark, who
are arranging the celebration.
The measure introduced authorizes
the Common Council to acquire the
necessary land and the erection of
buildings thereon for the observance.
The bill also provides for the issu-
ance Of bonds to defray the expenses,
the bonds not to exceed one-half of
one per cent. of the assessed valua-
ton of the city. The bonds shall bear
interest of not more than 5 per cent.
and shall run for thirty years.
Newark's valuations for 1914 were
approximately $403, 199, 900. On the
basis of computation in Senator Col
gates bill, the committee in charge
Of the 250th anniversary celebration
may raise approximately $4,000, 900.
Hawkins, Delafield & L~ongfeIlow,
bondholders of New York, have ap-
proved the scheme of the bond issue
as outlined in the Colgate bill.
The object of this bill is to allow
the city of Newark to erect a build
ing in memory of the 250th anniyer-
sary of the founding of the city.
The act in general is to overcome
the constitutional objection to special
legislation, but proper limitations have
been made in Section 2, covering the
bond issue. This section of the act
says:
THE board or body having charge
or control of the finances of any city
in this State may from time to time,
by resolution, provide for the issuance
of bonds to an amount not exceeding
in the aggregate one-half of one per
cent. of the assessed valuation of tax
able property in such city according to
the last assessment for taxation. Such
face building bonds, and shall be of
such denomination, at such a rate of
interest, not exceeding five per cent.
and be payable and at such times not
exceeding thirty years of their date
Act further provides that the bonds
shall be sold at not less than their
par value at public ~nie after adver-
tisement OF the notice of the sale of
the bonds. The proceeds resulting
from the sale shall be applied by or
under the direction Of the board to
the cost of acquiring any land or lands
or any right or interest in lands and
the erection and furnishing of a build
ing.

OF wretchedness from which no human
efforts will deliver them. The fate of
unborn millions will now depend, I'M
der God, on the courage and conduct
of this army. Our cruel and unre-
lenting enemy leaves us only the
choice of a brave resistance, or the
most abject submission. We have,
therefore. to resolve to conquer or to
die.
Our own, u country's honor, calls
upon US for a vigorous and manly ex-

we shall become infamous to the

US to great and noble actions The

upon US; and we shall have their bles.

the tyranny meditated against them.
Let us, therefore, animate and encour-
age each other, and show the whole
world that a freeman, contending for
liberty on his own ground, is superior
TO n slayish mercenary on earth.
Liberty, property, life and honor

jobs, and only these are tor them
But still they are coming in ever
greater numbers, and by slow
degrees they are pushing up
ward steadily, inevitably as
fate itself. Amid the clatter of
their unintelligible tongues the
few, and ever few, English
speaking foremen and skilled
workers feel as lonesome as light
houses. And this chasm between
hostile castles Of workers serves,
by the by, to make unionism ad-
ditionally impossible.
There used to be big money
for the workers who handledir
and steel. There is still fairly
good money to be made by a very
few of them. But for Is years
the cutting of wages has been
going on until today in many
cases the best workers make less
than half of what they used to
earn. 1t has been figured out
that every hundred workers in
''the steel mills and blast fur
naces includes go men who make
less than So day. and only two
who make more than SIS in the
same time. The average daily
wages of Allegheny County's
9, 600 blast-furnace men We're
found to be below $3.50 in 1907.
In October of thar year the en-
tire force of 12-hour men in the
open-hearth department OF the
Homestead steel Works was
averaging $2.70 day. The high
est paid skilled workers in some
of the most important branches
of the steel industry are incapable
of earning more than So. rs a day
THE main thing asked of the
worker is speed, or, maybe one
ought to say. speed without waste
To the achievement of this re-
suit everything is adapted, but.
above all, the wage schedules.
The underlying idea of the
whole system is to get more out
of a man by paying him less. It's
fundamental rule is that if the
man drives the machine he is,
paid by the piece; if the machine
drives him he is paid for time.
A trick constantly practiced is
to urge the workers into exceed
ing their previous capacity for
the purpose Of earning more and
then to adapt the wage rate to
the new record in order that they
may work still harder to retain
their earnings. This has proved
one of the most effective means
of increasing the output.
"Among 16, 6,000 men employed
in the three largest plants of the
United States Steel Corporation
in 1907 there were 12O men work
ing only eight hours a day.
Among the steel and iron work.
ers the 12-hour day is practically
law now, 81 that, for instance,
there were only ninety-three TO-
hour men to one thousand five
hundred and seventeen 12-hour
men at the sHomestead Steel
Works in 1907.
This law, slightly modified
and modified largely for the
worse--holds good seven days of
the week all the year through.
Neither Sundays nor holidays
exist for these toilers. Once
every fortnight they work "a
hours in stretch, in order that
they may have a full day of "a
hours free the next week. "

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Mr., Akeriy returned FrlQay
from Denver where he had been
to select some material and a few
tools for the manual training de-
partment. While in Denver he
looked at a number of piaaosf or
the dormitory, and found several
that he thought were bargains.
Miss Nickerson and Miss
Robertson were out on the ranch
over Saturday and Sunday.
Miss Kitch's voice waa very
deep bass Sunday the result of
too much hilarity at the basket
ball game.
Lester Davis has withdrawn
from the high school because he
hadn't time to devote to his
studies he being employed night
and day in the restaurant.
The large history chart which
was recently purchased for the
grades has arrived, and it is
most complete work showing all
points Connected with history Of
the United States.
Eli Schuelke who had his right
shoulder thrown out of joint in
the basket ball game Saturday,
returned to his work Monday
morning although the arm was
quite painful.
The teachers reading circle
books for both the high school
and the grades come Monday.
There are four in set and
they seem to be unusually well
ch )sen. The teachers will soon
begin a study Of them in all de-
partments.
The boys basket ball team has
accepted an invitation to play
Sharon Springs high on the lat
ter's grounds November 10Th.
Now just think of those girls.
They have issued a challenge
to the Sharon Springs girls, and
wish to play a double header the
day the boys play. Basket ball
is a pleasing passtime after hard
in a school room and
all study better for being o1t in
the open air.
The new books for the grades
have been ordered according to
the directions Of the district
board.
The new stereopticon lantern
is a source of much pleasure and
instruction in the school. There
is a large M noer of slides, tint
are helpful in almost every sub
ject taught in high scooo!.
Mr.. Ferguson paid a visit to
the high school one day last week
and the kind words he spoke of
the dormitory plan. showed how
much he appreciated il. He ap-
preciated the economy Of the plan
and above all, the way the boys
and girls are looked after, the
regular hours for retiring, rising
meals and study. A 10y or girl
in either of these home dormi-
tories is as we'll looked after as
if they whre in their own homes
and it some instances better. He
looked into the manual training
room and was surprised to see the
equipment and the excellence of
the work done here. Upon ieav-
ing he said how proud he was of
the county high school. Wouldn't
it be fi..e idea if other fathers
