FAvoRs STATE INSURANCE AS 1T
APPLIES TO woRkMEN's
COMPENSATION.
URGE ADOPTION OF
PLAN IN MINNESOTA
Iowa Officials Interested and May
Present Plan Similar to That Urged
in Minnesota to Next Legislature
Rates to Be Increased Where Great.
or Compensation Is Asked.
Special to, Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 10 State Labor
Commissioner A. L. Urick has recently
received information from Minnesota
relative to the fight now being waged
there over state insurance. The Min
nesota State Federation of Labor and
other organized labor interests are IA
voring state insurance as it applies to
workmen's compensation. The plan lis
to have the state conduct an insurance
business, writing employers liability
nsurance such as is required by the
workmen's compensation act, the idea
being that the state can do this at
lower rates than individual! companies
and that higher claims can be paid to
injured workmen by the state because
of this.
, Under the state insurance plan as
now advocated by the labor interests
and others in Minnesota, the employers
would take out their workmen's COM
pensation insurance with the state and
pay the premiums 20 the state and the
business would be self supporting. The
insurance companies are fighting it
bitterly. The present system requires
the employer to pay his premium into
the liability insurance companies.
Companies May Raise Rates.
The advocates of state 4 surance
point out that the liability companies
now make profit on lie business and
take care of many high salaried cffi-
Gals besides agents, claim agents, in
spectors investigators and others. The
state, they say, could do it at cost I:
is claimed that when workers go 70 the
legislature asking for higher rate of
compensation they are met with the
argument that the employers can not
pay a higher rate of insurance and If
the compensation Is Increased the in
surance companies will raise the rates.
It is pointed out that the Ohio state
insurance plan, between March !, 1912
and May s. 1915. saved the Ohio ON
ployers just sS.422,334, and paid the in
jured employee a higher compensation
than is paid in Minnesota
Fear Increased Taxation.
An organization known as the Insur-
ance Federation Of Minnesota is fight
ing the plan. It claims that the state
insurance plan would increase taxes as
the company would be maintained at
public expense and would not be oper-
ated on a self-supporting plan.
The experience of other states in the
state insurance plan is being watched
by Iowa officials with much interest
and some such plan roay be introduced
into the Iowa legislature when it meets
next winter.

Cottages and Camps on High Ground

Private Resorts Arc Unfit For Use

Special to Times
Dubuque, July 1O.-Summer camps
along this part of the Mississippi river
so far this year. have held out little If
any attraction to their owners, this
because the flooded condition Of the
Mississippi has made the camps un-
desirable. Nine out of ten OF these
camps were under from two to eight
feet of water during the time the water
was highest six weeks ago. The water
receded slowly until most OF them were
out of water, but continual rains have
kept the ground water soaked and the
places have not been fit for human
habitation. Now the river is rising
again and scores Of places are flooded
so that they can not possibly be used
for a month or six weeks, If at all dur
ing the present season.
This relates to resorts that are built
on low lands or on the shores where
the ground Is low. There are num-
erous camps, however that are on high
land tho near the river. These are ex-
tremely popular.
Hundreds Of Camps Flooded.
The camps that have been and still
are flooded. however, are the most
numerous. There are hundreds of them
within fifteen miles Of Dubuque. They
usually consist of one, two or three
room, single story cottages, built with
wide porches on two or three or even
four sides, with arrangements so that
windows may be opened on all sides,
thus giving perfect ventilation. The
porches are screened in and many Of
them are equipped with cots or iron
beds, for a single cottage frequently
accommodates score of persons. The
bedding is usually light weight. There
are rustic easy chairs, swings. ham
mocks and the like.
The cooking equipment Is not elab-
crate. 1t usually consists Of gasolene
or small wood stove with iron skillets
and pots. tin pans and heavy table
ware such as is found in restaurants.
An ice box is found at nearly every
cottage, to preserve meats, milk and
fruits.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. July 10.--Automobile aces
dents have come to be such common
things in Dubuque because Of speeding,
that vigorous action is being demanded
OF the city council and the Justices 'Ok
the peace who serve as police court
judges. The council is urged by the
newspapers and the trades and labor
congress to provide heavier penalties,
to impose jail sentences for violations
Of speed regulations, 1t having been
found that fines do not have the de-
sired effect. Police claim they arc
powerless because numerous Offenders
arrested are discharged by the Justices.
Such storm has been raised by re-
peated violations and the escape from
punishment Of the violators that there
is talk Of bringing action to Gust the
justices from office,
Complaint is also lodged against corr
oner's juries. In three instances re-

automobile accidents and where sur
