THAT BONDING BILL,

This week should see the demise
Of the bonding bill in the house. Mem
bars who have been thinking the
measure over see the possible evil
effects.
The Tribune believes that the bond
ing companies have brought the pres
ent situation about. We hold no brief
for the surety companies of this or
other states. There is no doubt but
these companies influenced legisla-
ton until they got the number of
bonded officials at the maximum.
But the measure which seeks to
cure the trouble is worse than the
evil itself. No good can come of the
state entering the bonding business
and much real evil may follow. The
legislature can reduce the number of
bonded officials and the amount of the
surety demanded. This a be done
10y amending existing laws, withou:
placing the burden of a new depart
ment upon the shoulders of the tax
payers.
All of the counties have bonded
their officials almost to the limit. Bot,
tineau carries surety bonds in excess
of 100000 and many counties are
over the $780, 900 mark. Coroners and
states attorneys are bonded without
apparent necessity.
There surely is a way out of the
dilemma without creating a state
bonding department.

DO YOU KNOW A BLIND BABY?

DO YOU KNOW A BLIND BABY?
In March, 1913, the state of North
Dakota passed a bill providing for
the care, maintenance and education
Of the baby blind.
The law gives the state board of
control power to provide proper care
and education for babies and children
under school age, living in the state
who may he born blind, or who may
become blind, paying a dollar a day
for this care, and transportation to
and from the home. See House Bill
373, which passed March 6, 1918.
The babies may be sent to any in
stitution in or outside the state equip
ed for their care.
North Dakota has already two chill
dren in the Arthur Home for blind
babies, Summit, New Jersey, the only
institution in the whole United States
that will take any blind baby from
any state and give it proper physical
care, and mental training, until it is
the proper age to enter the state in>
situations provided for the older
blind.
Fourteen states are already repre-.
sented, and one little boy is there
from Cuba, 40 children being the total
number now in the home, and as
many more have been graduated.

Old friends that pass look up to smile
Who used to greet you looking

A magic spell, in this brief while,
Has somehow fallen on the town.
Yet strange! You seem to be again
As small a boy as you were then.
That backward path to 5oyhood days

Dispel the years that intervene.

Through valleys to the Mother

Where many dear remembered things
Call childhood back on certain wings.

WHO WANTS IT?

Nobody but the insurance compan-
les wants the Workmen's compensa>
ton bill introduced by Senator Bron-
son. 1t exempts the farmers, those
engaged in domestic service and COM
small manufacturers and mining COM
panies under the act.
But the bill gives insurance CON-
panies an opportunity to sell liability
insurance to a number of employers
who might come under the act as
construed by an ubiquitous insurance
agent.
The St. Paul Daily News, comment
ing on that states experience, says:
"The employers of labor in Mime
sofa have had their insurance rates
raised by the compensation law ell
acted two years ago.

cents out of every dollar that the en-
ployers pay for insurance.
"A statement has been given out
setting forth in the most general and
indefinite way some changes that are
proposed to the law. Until the text
of the amendments are at hand judg-
ment must be suspended, but those
amendments must be carefully scru-
tinized both by the employers and
the employees.
"The statement indicates that the
compensation to employees is to be in
creased. If this is true it will mean
that for every additional dollar paid
to the employees the employers will
be expected to pay the insurance COM
panies about SIS.
IF, on the other hand, the rates
Of insurance to the employers are 20
be reduced, there absolutely must be
a reduction of liability, and that
means a payment of less money to
the employees.
$50 long as Minnesota's law en-
courages the skinning of 10th employ
er and employe, the only people who
can benefit will be the foreign insur-
ance companies and a very small
class of employers, who are able to
self-insure-that is, carry their W
risk. These two classes are winning
under the present law, and everybody
else, both employee and employer, are
losing.
ut will be interesting to see what
sort of amendments are proposed to
stop this SHINING process. .
Two years ago the employers
thought they were getting a good
law. What they got was a raise in
rates. Now if the compensation to
the employe is actually raised by
these amendments to the rates, how
in the world can the employer expect
his rates to be reduced?
eff the employers rates are to be
reduced-or left as they are-,lOw in
the world can the employee expect
more compensation?
when it is gravely stated that the
present Minnesota law is the best in
the United States and when we know
that a dollars worth of insurance
costs an employer S., then it is to
laugh"

STATEWIDE TIE ISSUE.

The one issue, which seems 70

question. OF the six candidates
in the field for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, three

prohibition, one has declared that
he fayors submitting the question

cut openly and declared himself
in favor of Statewide prohibition.
II is this candidate that the liquor
men ,ear ami have begun TO fight
for all they are worth.
From Washington comes the
following long expected news
Loud echoes of the Kentucky
gubernatorial campaign are being
heard here, where literary
bureau, in behalf of the vets, is
in full operation. This bureau is
preparing to send all over Ken
lucky literature bearing ON the
anti.prohibition side of the con.
troversy. Speeches against the

literature is all frankable. The
leaders of the liquor forces of the
country are apprehensive lest
Kentucky may land in the prchi-

will meet next winter, and for the
election of a Governor who will
