Insurance Against Sickness.

Advice given to the manufacturers
compelled to organize TO protect them
selves against a demand for laws pro-
viding for sickness insurance appears
to have been based upon more than
idle speculation. 1t recently became
public that through the medium of
national association the next general
assembly of Ohio will be asked to pro-
vide insurance against sickness just
as it now provides against the results
of industrial accidents through the
workmen's compensation law. The
reason for trying Ohio is that the
state in recent years has been the one
selected for experiments of a more or
less radical nature. 1t is said that a
fair hearing can be secured in this
state and possible test given to a
thebry which is an actuality in some
European countries. The exact nature
of the bill has not been worked out,
but it is said to be under way and will
be offered next winter. Support of
labor organizations is said to be as
sured, The support of the physicians
is also desired, and prospects are held
bright for getting it upon the sugges-
tion that the plan viii guarantee fees,
the collection of which is now uheer-
tain. So much Of the plan that has
been developed contemplates the max
ing of insurance against sickness a
state matter, the state to have charge
of the fund just as it now has charge
of the workmen's compensation fund.

TAX COMMISSION
IS UP AGAINST IT
SCHEME TO COLLECT REVENUE
FROM INTANGIBLE PROPERTY
is HARD TO DISCOVER.
METHOD TO PREVENT LEAKS
Failure To Hear From Deposits and
Too Many Exemptions Enumerated
in List OF Difficulties.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus.-Just like it's predeces-
sors, the state tax commission is trou-
bled about the escape of intangible
personal property from taxation, par
ticular stress being laid upon bank
deposits and deposits in building and
loan associations These forms of
wealth have escaped assessment in
many instances, and the means by
which they can be secured to yield
their share of revenue under the ex-
isting system of taxation is not en-
tirely clear to the commission, which
made its annual report to the COVER
nor. The commission indorses what
the board said in 1914 when it assert
ed that "a gross injustice to the tax,
payer who honestly lists his intangible
property" results from the conditions
that prevail. 1t is stated that matter
should be remedied, although the way
is not pointed out.
With reference to bank deposits, the
commission expresses the belief that
many millions of dollars escape taxa
ton, and says that it ''is equally true
that but small amount of the hun
dreds of millions of dollars deposited
in building associations is reported fol
taxation, although the law makes nc
distinction between deposits in banks
and building associations" The com
mission explains that a popular mis-
conception has prevailed with respect
to building and loan associations, many
persons having the idea that deposits
are exempt from taxation. The com
mission deplores the law which pre-
vents the taxing officers from going
into the records of the associations
Another matter which has disturbed
the commission is the exemption fol
lodges and similar organizations. Fra
ternal benefit societies claimed exten
sive rights under the act of 191n, bu
| the officials were unable to find any
thing in its provisions which support
| ed their claims.

Statewide Movement.

Opponents to the present civil serv-
ice system met for the purpose of or
ganizing a statewide movement for
the repeal of the constitutional amend
ment Counties are to be organized
first, and then a state gathering called,
at which the program of publicity and
oratory will be decided upon. Appeals
will be made to the labor unions to
join the movement on the ground that
high school boys and university grad
uates are putting the ordinary man
out of political berths because of their
fresh book information upon subjects
embraced in the competitive eXamina-
tons Places created by legislation
for representatives of the labor e1e-
ment, they allege, have passed to
these graduates who are without prac-
| tical experience. An effort will be
made also to secure the cooperation
of the county officials, who are said
| to be chaing under the operation OF
the law as enforced.

ARMY PLAN IN HOUSE
FIRST DRAFT OF DEFENSE BILL
IS COMPLETED.
600 Men-Natlonal Guard to
Be FederaIlzed.

Washington. Feb. 23.-Under pres
sure to speed up" preparedness leg
islation, the house military affairs
committee completed the first draft of
the land defense bill. 1t provides:
An increase in the regular army
to 147.000 men with 1000 officers in a
skeleton organization that in time of
war could be expanded to 275.000.
"A reserve made up of honorably
discharged regulars and militiamen re-
tired after three years service, Off
cered by militia officers and graduates
of a special cadet corps evolved
through military educational instruc-
tions.
The liberalization of militia, with
power in the president to draft it for
war service. and authority in the Sec
retary of war to supervise the selec-
tion of military officers. The militia
would be given federal pay.
The increase of the facilities at
West Point to double its capacity,
with. an immediate appropriation of
$260,000 to provide accommodations
for additional cadets.
The establishment of a federal air
nitrate plant, to be operated jointly
with private interests, with potential
capacity for turning out vast quanti-
ties of munitions under pressure in
case of war.
THE assignment of more than 700
army officers as military instructors
in schools throughout the country
where military organizations are main
tanned"
The committees action was the first
definite step that has been taken to-
ward preparedness.
Under the reserve provisions of the
bill Chairman Hay declared that in
ten years the United States would
have a reserve of upward of 100000
men.
This first draft of the bin. Chair
man Hay declared. would call for
about two weeks of work on the com
mittee. He believes the measure will
be in final form and ready for action
in the house early in March. AS al
present framed, the bill will necessi
| tate the expenditure of about $155,
100000 for the next fiscal year. Last
years appropriations were $115, 900, 600

WOOD HITS AT DEFENSE FOES

a speech at the annual Washington's s
birthday dinner of the Creve Coeur
club in the Coliseum great audi
ence heard him. other speakers were
Henry D. Estabrook and Dudley Field
Malone, collector of the port of New
York.
General Wood confined his speech
to the value of the military instruc-
ton camps. from which, he said, he
hoped to see the army develop $4,000
officers for the reserve. He pointed
out how small even this number is
when compared to the 1900 officers
that wore the blue in the Civil war

OHIO DEATH RATE.
Being DECREASED
EXPENDITURES MADE GREATER
BUT LIVES OF oHlOANS
ARE BENEFITED.
HEALTH BOARD MAKES REPORT
Vast improvements Are Shown in Pro
lection of Public Health in
Buckeye State.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus, O.-For public health
protection, through the state board of
health, Ohio during the past five years
increased its annual expenditure from
S55,345 to $125,770, as q result of which
the annual death rate in this state has
decreased from 1884 to 13 per 1,000
This is the information contained in
the special report submitted to the
board by DR.. Eugene F. McCampbeIl,
retiring secretary and executive Off
Ger, who has just been chosen dean of
the Ohio Medical College. While the
difference in percentage is small, it
means the saving of 400 additional
lives.
In his report, Dr. McCampbei stated
that since he assumed charge of the
states health work in 1912, he has
carried into effect 16 specific reforps,
the last of which was the institution
Of separate division for the improve
ment of child hygiene. Along this line,
the state legislature last year provid-
ed an appropriation making possible
statewide bahy-saving campaigns.
During the past four years, the state
health department has been reorgan-
lied along the following lines: The
| various special fields have been assign
I'd to separate divisions, each under a
specialized director whose election
was based upon scientific attainment.
Modern business methods have been
| installed, such as the addition of a
purchasing department, institution of
weekly staff meetings, checking of en-
| ploye's work, etc. A special propa-
ganda for the prevention of tuberculo-
sis has largely taken over the work of
the private state agency I'D has fos-
tered the development of local public
health movements. For instance, in
1912 there were only 29 public health
nurses employed in the state, and
these were in IA cities. This work has
been extended to include 55 cities
The total capacity of tuberculosis hos
pitfalls in the state has been extended
from 564 to 1924 beds. A travelling
public health exhibit has been shown
in 107 communities to approximately
100000 people, with a total of nearly
400 lectures on public health subjects

TEST OPINION ON ROAD FUND
Would Emend Constitution of State T.
Further Better Roads Movement.

Columbus, O.-Test of sentiment il
being taken by the Ohio Good Roads
Federation on proposal to amend the
constitution of the state through the
initiative to commit the state to a set
tied policy of road construction and
repair that it is thought viii meet the
public demand. The proposal has un-
DERIVING it two principal ideas, first,
to place road work upon such plane it
can not be disturbed through change|
of administration or by reason of
whims of majorities in the general as
sembly; second, that funds of the state
for highway work should be made sufi-I
cient to meet urgent demands of 1tle|
people.
In the last two months requests
have been fled with the state high
way commissioner for upward of 81,
100000 of state funds to which were to|
be added sums twice as great from To-
cal communities. The fund for dis
posal by the state has been less than
$500,000, which is wholly inadequate.
Clamors for funds have been repeated
to the federation and are largely re-
sponsible for the decision for an in
formal referendum to civic, agricul-
tural and commercial organizations.|
If the result of this canvass of sents]
ment is favorable, the question will be
submitted to the voters next Novem-|
Der.
The suggested proposal is for an an
nual levy for 10 years, beginning 1917
of three-Quarters, and to be outside Cd
tax limitations. The fund is to Be-
known as the state highway improved
ment fund and subject, without apj
preparation by the general assembly,
to be expended in the improvement Of
highways as now or may hereafter be
provided by law" 1t is also provided
the money may be used in cooperating
with the federal government in high
way Improvement 1t is estimated that
on present tax duplicate the levy will
raise annually s5,250,00o, which WITH
local aid will bring Ohio's annual conf
tribution to fbetter roads to mord
than s10,000,00O

Lower Rate Is SOUGHT.

Survey of living and industrial con-
ditions in the Hooking Valley coal re-
gion and a reduction of the present
eighty-five-cent coal carrying rate was
asked in a petition received by the
State Public Utilities Commission from
nine civic, rural and mercantile organ
izations of the Hooking and Sunday
Creek districts. Charles H. Bryson, of
Athena, former state civil service COM
missioner, filed the petitions for the
organizations. The claim is set forth
that the 81 coal rate proposed and Ia
ter withdrawn by the Hooking Valley
railroad would cause thousands OF
acres of coal lands to be abandoned,
give undue advantage to West Virginia
and Kentucky interests and throw
many miners out of work. Even the
present S5 cents rate makes "enor-
nous profits" for the Hooking Valley
railroad, the petition asserts.
