Care of Unfortunates.

Care of Unfortunates.
There is no little difference of opin-
ion among those who have been con-
sidering the question as to the best
course the state should adopt in pro-
viding for the treatment and cure of
crippled and deformed children. Va
rious suggestions and recommenda.
tions are being made to the state com.
mission which is working on the pro-
ject looking to the establishment OF
an institution for the special benefit
of these unfortunate children, all given
in a spirit of cooperation.
Prominent orthopedic surgeons are
among those, who are expressing their
views on the proposal. The sugges-
ton that the new women's reforma-
tory at Marysville be converted into
hospital for crippled and deformed
children does not seem to be meeting
with general approval. Secretary H.
H. Shirer of the board of state chari.
ties, for one, thinks it would be unwise
to abandon the institution for the put.
pose for which it has just opened be-
fore there has been an opportunity to
show just what can be accomplished
through it.

pepartment,s Growth increases.

Further evidence that next year will
be no exception to past experience
that each successive year marks an in
crease in state expenditures, is seen
in the budget of the state industrial
commission for the year of July 1,
1917, to June 80, 1918. The budget re-
quests S733, 3,S29.9O, against $3.50, 0,4s0.84
this year, increase of $17S,S39.06. The
reason assigned for the necessary in.
crease is not so much the high cost
of living, calling for higher wages for
employees, as the general growth of
the department.

PETITION SENT
OHIO ASSEMBLY
PROPOSES AMENDING OF COM
PENSATlON LAW BY LABOR
FORCES.
OPPOSES WORKMEN'S STATUTE
Signatures of Prominent Men Attach
ed to Paper, Which Is Proudly
Escorted to Columbus.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus.-ProUdly escorted by a
delegation of labor men, several large
bundles of names on a monster petit
ton will be presented to the Secre-
tary of State soon. Arrangements for
the presentation have been practical
ly completed by the League for the
Protection and Preservation of the
Workmen's Compensation Law, which
is the sponsor for the only initiated
bill which will be presented to the
General Assembly at its forthcoming
session.
The filing of the petition at least 10
days in advance of the Assembly ses-
sion, as provided by the constitution,
will be the beginning of the last of a
series of acts to bring to consumma-
ton movement inaugurated three
years ago. The joy and the pride of
those in the movement are in the
prospects of a success, which is in
anticipation of achievement.
The petition to the General Assem-
bly, is to amend the famous Section
81 of the workmen's compensation act
SO that liability insurance companies
may be prohibited from making in
surance either to indemnify self-insur-
ing employers under the workmen's s
compensation law for the sums they
pay to injured workmen or to protect
| employers under the so-called "open
liability of the law. The open liza.
| bility feature arises when a workman
is injured through the failure of en-
ployer to observe lawful requirement
for the protection of the workman OF
from "wilful act" which causes injury
If the bill prayed for becomes the Law
of the state employers must either pay
premiums into the state fund or they
must assume their risks absolutely
The text of the bill is short and lin
pie. 1t merely provides that contracts
of the sort indicated shall be void. 1
is in effect the antithesis of the presen
section which has been held by th'
Courts to admit the writing Of work
mems compensation insurance and t,
leave unsettled the issue as to tn
length to which this assumed righ
goes.
