but appeal has been taken
The Oklahoma compensation law IL
compulsory. The nice question that
is raised is being LOGGED at by EN-
0loyers and employees all over the
state, as II will determine whteher the
law will stand up II is said the point
has not been decided flatly in any
court OF other states as the constitu-
ton and the compensation law Of Ok
lahoma are different from those Of
other states.
The theory Of the state which has
become a party in a way, is that the
compensation law is a sort of exer-
else OF the police power of the state
and as such is not in violation of the
constitution, as it gives compensation
to employees in lieu of their rights un-
der the common law, The compensa
ton law takes from the employers
the right TO show contributory neg
llgence or assumed risk, which was
his under the common law and stat
ute.
The compensation law is due to be
reconsidered and changed by the com
ing legislature A decision of the
