Health Insurance Next.

Compulsory insurance of the worker

the reform now in the order of the day.
The institution is already established
in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Luxem-
burg, Norway, Holland, Great Britain,
Russia, Rumania, Serbia, Greece. When
a social reform has won success in Rus
STA and the Balkan states, one may sup
pose that it is about to receive a hear

And now three of our chief industrial
States, New York, Massachusetts and
New Jersey, are discussing sickness in
surance bills, under the more optimistic
name, 'health insurance
These bills spring largely from a COM
mon source and are almost identical In
terms. If they pass, the manual work
er, or any other employee with salary
under 81 200 a year, will be assured
medical and surgical attendance and
nursing through a period of sickness
extending to six months; medical and
surgical supplies up to cost of $50
and money benefits equivalent to two
thirds of his wages for a period not
| longer than six months. In return fol-

his earnings, towards two-ffths of tht

provides for board of six members,
no more than three to be of any one
party. The Democrats have never
gone on record as favoring such a
commission, but the President came to
believe that it was good policy to take
the tariff as far as possible out of pol

spending ON the war in Europe very
nearly the equivalent of its entire rev

This great expenditure comes near to
being purely sentimental, for the Do

its liability to attack in the future is
increased rather thar diminished by its
active and efficient participation in

NOTHING LEFT FOR

Affairs of the New England Farmer
Formerly of Brattleboro, Closed
Up by Receiver.

MONTPELIER, March 30. - The af-
fairs of the New England Farm
er have been wound up by the receiv-
er, Jesse E. Joslyn, but the avails were
sufficient only to pay the expenses
and there will be nothing for the gener-
al creditors. The reeeivership was
asked for in suit brought by the Cap
ital City Press of this city, the heavi-
est creditor. Four creditors fled claims
as follows: Capital City Press So, 1872,
Julius Mathews $s64.49, Walter H.
Crockett $500, Vermont Telephone &
Telegraph Co. $40, a total of $3,3S4.-
10. The case was docketed on the chan
Gerry docket of Washington county
court in March, 1914.
The total receipts of the receiver af-
ter disposing of what property re
manned was $201.32 The expenses OF
! the receiver were $3.50 and the court
allowed him $9S for services rendered
which left a balance of $24.62. This
was ordered decreed to the general
creditors. On petition of Benjamin
Gates, counsel for the New England
Farmer, the case was reopened and
! his bill for services amounting to SOS
was submitted and settled by the re
ceiver for the balance which was IL
the treasury amounting to $24.62. As
the funds secured by the receiver il
disposing of the property just paid the
expenses of the receivership and coun

creditors.
When the company went into re
ceiver' S hands it had $3.S2 cash il

secured by the receiver was $3.50 fol
