The Compensation

Equal Rights Bill

TFE so-called Compensation Bill now before
the Wisconsin Legislature might be called by
any other name. It doesn't grant compensa-
ton to anybody for anything. It only grants the
right to sue That is a right every other citizen
enjoys to go into court and ask payment for
injury or damage sustained. It might better be
called an Equal Rights Bill.
It could be called Legal Corrective Bill for Il
only corrects the statutes which today discrimi-
nate against liquor men, denying them the other
wise universal right of citizens to bring civil action
for damages or losses.
IF you run down by street car or auto
mobile, compensation payment for your in
juries is not handed to you. You have to prove
your in court. But the point is right here
you have the privilege and opportunity of doing
The legal avenue is opened to you. You are
allowed to sue for damages.
And thatis aHthe so-caAed Comper1-
Satio1 bill prouides. 1t does not grant
Compensation to bret0ers or anubodu
else in case of Prohibition 1T pro-
Uides no payment and carries no ap-
preparation. 1t only opens the legal
l0ay so that the man or corporation

and ask for hearing of his claim,

his case before a jury just the same

And you sit on the jury. You grant him

Is there anything unreasonable or unfair in
that?

No Grounds for Complaint
A high school teacher asks The Trib-
une: "Are We going to repeat the hid.
eous mistakes of the Spanish-American
War? The best we can do is not good
enough for these boys Of ours who
have not had the emotional appeal Of
proximity 20 the clash of battle and
the devilish out1ages Of the Hun. Can't
we at least see that they are properly
and sufficiently fed Can't we give
them a square deal in return for con-
summate sacriiice?"
After an investigation of fourteen
camps The Tribune finds little ground
for complaint as 10 the food bein'
served enlisted men. The meat does
not come garnished There IL no SALAD
course. Oysters on the half shell
rarely have a place on the menu. But
the men are growing strong on clean,
wholesome army grub.

in which much Of the spirit Of

question, which came to the fore re-
Gently. was on first thought answered
negatively but later way was found
TO reconcile inherent convictions with
military regulations.

officer should not be regarded as a per
sonality toward whom the salute was
directed, but that the military view
point which makes the salute homage
20 the country's uniform and 10 the
things it typifes should be accepted.
An exposition of this viewpoint was
voiced by General John b. Castleman,
