Fourth, the sec'y of the treasury
in his scheme of reorganization must
provide for putting men with brains
directly in charge of the assessment
and collection of the tax and give
them an opportunity to work.
The bureau should have three or
four first-class men who would be
freed absolutely from routine duties
and given every opportunity to rake
the tax collecting system over from
top to bottom, to devise and develop
sources of information, to teach the

Fully half the questions I asked
about the tax could not be answered
because the figures have never been
compiled. Nobody knows now how
much the tax for 1913 or for 1914
has yielded, because the data on col

which the tax was taken in and not
to the year in which it was due. No
body knows very much more about

Thirty five States Now Have Statutes
Protecting the Workingman.
No kind of legislation for the benefit
of the workingmau has made more
rapid progress III the past six years
than the enactment Of compensation
laws by the different states. Begin
ming with New York in 1910 ten
states followed With similar laws the
next year These included Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin. Kansas
fell into line along with Nevada also
in 1911, as did the two Pacific coast
states of california and Washington.
ia 1912 states AS far apart as Rhode
Island. Maryland. Michigan and Ari-
zona took up the new compensation
policy. In 1912 Connecticut fell into
line along with West Virginia. Iowa
Nebraska, Minnesota Oregon ana Tex
as The next ycar Louisiana followed
forming the third Of the southern
states.
The year 1919. like that Of 1872
was year Of rapid expansion, In
which ten states and dependencies ac-
cepted the principle as part Of their
industrial policy. These included
Maine, Vermont Pennsylvania. Indi-
ana oklahoma Wyoming, Montana
and Colorado, as wel as Alaska ana
Hawaii
In 1916 Kentucky made the thirty
fifth state to enact workmen's compen-
sation laws, so that practically three
quarters OF the total number Of states
IN the Union had made available the
newer method of eompensating ac-
cidents within the short period of less
than six years.
