Industrial Accidents.
Rutland Herald.)

The first year business of the Yer
mont industrial accident board shows
3,o43 claims settled between employer
and employe, covering compensation to
the amount of $l39,93I.47.
There have been few appeals from
the awards of the commission and only
one appeal has gone to the supreme
court.
The cost of doing business was also
moderate. covering the salaries of the
commissioners, travelling and office ex-
pense. Attorney fees to the amount
of $196.34 were allowed.
Some of these claims would have re-
suited IN personal injury suits ana
placed both litigant and employer I'M
der additional expense, but inasmuch
as the law contemplates the payment
of claims regardless of questions of
fault, it is doubtful whether very
large proportion would have actually
resulted in lawsuits.
The important fact is that the bur-
den of cost for personal injuries has
been shifted from the workman to the
employer, and through him it is SIM
posed to be distributed to the indus
try. 1t is a question, however, whether
TINS expense has actually been passed
on to the consumer. Most EMPLOYERS

protecting them, meanwhile. from the
constant danger of personal injury
suits.
In practice, most Vermont EMPLOYERS
have re-insured their risks under the
Workmen S compensation act, so that
they pay necessary profit to the in
surance companies for carving the
hazard. This brings up problem which
may come before the legislature:
80 long as the state has an organized
department, why should the state not
carry the risk, distributing it to indus
tries of various classes and levying as
sessments as may be necessary but do
ing business at cost?
The objection is that the clerical and
actuarial labor would increase the size
and cost of the department, but. if the
employees were to form voluntary asso.

This plan is opposed By most casual

successful operation in several states,

The question of increasing the

Colorado nights, which stimulate the
sale of the canton flannel nightgown,
are great relief to the fastener who
has had to sleep out on the lawn in a
neghgee which would bar him from the
bathing beach.
The Colorado altitude can be felt
more distinctly from the top of Pike s
Peak than anywhere else, and causes
the legs of the tourist to wabble in
their orbit. Gold and silver mines are
so thick in Colorado that any industri-
Gus citizen can start one with a gar
den spade, but more money can be
made by raising cucumbers and the
Rocky Ford canteloupe. People who
think that Colorado doesn t grow any
thing but smelters and mining stock
should get out into the grain belt and
see what irrigation mixed with brains
will do.
