WORKMAN'S ACT UPHELD
IN OLD KENTCCK
Court Says Legislature Followed
Tips in Former Opinion.

Frankfort, Ky-The workmen's com
pensation act passed by the General AS
sembly this year was declared to be valid
and constitutional today by the Court Of
Appeals. Judge Carroll wrote the opin-
ion for the court
The history Of workmen's compensa-
ton legislation in Kentucky is reviewed
by Judge Carroll. He states that the act
of 1914 was declared invalid because it
violates Section "a OF the Constitution.
which provides that the General Assem-
bly, shall have no power to limit the
amount to be recovered for injuries re-
sulting in death, or for injuries to per-
son or property. Also that it violated
the constitution in that the act made it
compulsory upon the employed to come
under the act, or forfeit his common law
right.
In deciding the act Of 1914 unconsti-
tutional the court held that it is within
the power and right OF an employee to
waive the limit of recovery for injury
by contract if such contract is made
freely and Voluntarily.
In constituting the act OF 1916 the court
says that the legislature has followed
the instructions in the former opinion
and passed an act which permits both
the employer and the employee to come
within its provisions by free and vol
untary contract.

SANITATION GOOD BUSINESS.

San Francisco In its report on
Camp Sanitation and Housing" the
state commission of immigration and
housing offers this business-like illustra-
ton to large contractors:
Suppose a camp of 200 men with a
pay roll of $40O per day: If living con-
ditions are bad and the sleeping accom-
modations make a reasonable rest i'm
possible, if the food r fly infested, and
the toilets unclean and revolving, the
men become disgruntled and dissatisfied
and some become sick. Experience has
shown that often under such conditions
there will be a % per cent loss of work
or So 900 per month. The sum of $40
per day, or $500 per month, will cover
easily the cost of good sanitation This
camp, therefore, can save $2,700 per
month by installing model living con-
ditions and do away with the serious
handicap of an ever-quitting force. Few
employers of unskilled labor realize their
loss through soldering of discontented
workers. Petty strikes and labor
force continually quitting, both frequent
products of bad camp conditions, often
increases the cost of work beyond the
profit. Therefore, it is not only to the
interest of humanity, but to your own
interest to have sanitary and l'livable
ramD"

No, man is not as God In relation TO e1.

definite sharply defined conditions. II can.
not be supposed that Gods does.

q matter OF perspective.
can remember, as dare say everybody can
that the griefs and fears OF my childhoods DAYS
were intense and poignant in their way as
anything have endured since. But they would
not seem very serious to me now. They ala
not seem very serious to my preceptors then
though no doubt ! had their kindly sympathy
In bearing them They knew, as l could not
know. that IL was not very important TO
save me from them. but highly important that
should come through them rightly.
Ny playmates would have saved me from
them perhaps or those who cared most for
me would. But as rule they could not. They
took my point Of view and mourned their i'm
potence. To them It really did matter great
deal that l had lost my biggest glass alley
or seen my favorite puppy drown. or been
forbidden TO go 70 the school treat, or been
bowled for a duck In the cricket match They
knew all about the quarrellings and makings
up again which constituted school politics, the
smart Of injustice at the hands Of ruthless
grown-ups, the humiliation and dismay OF be-
ing plucked in exams. or given the cold
shoulder by those whose favor one most ardent
ly desired 10 win.
That was because they took my point OF
view. No adult either could or would, or IL.
through sheer kindliness Of heart, one here and
there pretended to, they did il in such way
as 10 show me that they did not regard It in
the same tragic light as ] did
Is not this the clue TO the matter that
puzzles so many people just now? Would We
treat our children thus? We cry when tragedy,
dark and dreadful. invades our little world No.
should not any InOre than one child would
ordinarily condemn another to the experiences
