WAILUKU, Maui, May -Word
has reached Maui friends through the
Anferican-Hawaiian steamship Com.
pany that Capt. William Lyons Of the
steamship Missourian, sunk some
weeks ago by German submarine,
was saved with his entire crew. That
the genial captain had a "hunch" OF
what was in store Tor him seems In
dicated from the fact that before he
sailed from the Atlantic coast on his
eyentful voyage lie removed from his
cabin and left On shore all of his per
sonal belongings down to his phone
graph and ven his watch. ~;
DIT. George S.. Aiken Of Wailhku,
who is an intimate friend of Gait.
Lyons, expects to hear from him oil:
rectly before long, as the two have
been keeping up a more or less regu:
lar correspondence ever since the
IMissourian left the islands run to- so
into the nsunitsons carrying trade
nearly two years ago. ~.

To RECOMMEND
MOTHERS PENSIONS

The ,indly grandmother, the good
stepmother rearing another womans
children and the unfortunate mother
of an illegitimate child, all will be
eligible to receive mothers pensions
under the practical, common-sense
plan of the state commission or re-
vision of laws relating to children
which is soon to be recommended for
action by the state legislature.
The revision of the mothers PEN
sion law is proposed to better stand
arhZe and to provide closer state
supervision of it's administration. 1t
provides also that any taxpayer may
obtain a hearing in court on any pen
sion allowances he believes unwar-
ranted.
Mothers whose husbands have been
under indictments more than year
for abandonment may also receive
pensions under the broader plan
recommended. Another requirement
is that families receiving pensions
must make an effort to speak English
if accustomed to using an foreign lam
guage.

(Former Insurance CON-, wisconsin,
Stock fire insurance celebrates
whenever state building in Wiscon-
sin burns. This is not because the
companies like to see property burn,
but beca use Wisconsin carries it's own
insurance fund. The companies are
naturally pleased to escape the loss,
but more, they want if possible to kill
off the state insurance fund. Hence
every time the state has fire the
stock insurance journals carry a new
story as to the failure" of the fund.
They have undertaken a job like
sweeping back the sea. The fund has
saved money to the people of Wiscon-
sin. Notwithstanding exceptionally
heavy losses it has been a success.
Saves Money to State.
The state could not fail to save
money under the plan. The state has
no profits to pay and saves not alone
the IS per. cent agents commissions
but nearly all the 40 per cent expense
which the most economical compan-
les pay. Against this 40 per cent ex-
pense the state expense for II years
was less than 2 per cent of a smaller
exists to indemnify losses, it's eff
cheney must be measured by the
amount used for expenses and profits
in carrying the indemnity.
The figures above are for the most
economical companies. On the aver
age all stock companies in the United
States pay back about $54 for losses
out of each 500 received in pre-
miums. This leaves them about SAG
for expenses and profits. IN addition
they receive about 81 in interest on
the unearned premiums of their pol
icyholders, which gives them in all
about $50 out of each 500 of pre-
miums for expenses and profits.
Started in 1908.
The Wisconsin fund was esta blished
in 1908. The law provides for set
Ting into the fund 60 per cent of the
average premiums charged by re-
sponsible stock fire insurance COM
panies. The state property is all in
sured to 80 per cent of the value. The
premiums are figured exactly as the
stock companies figure them. with
the same credits for co-insurance, i'm
provements and other items The
commissioner of insurance has the
management Of the fund. The fund
was started without any approptia:
ton excepting the right to borrow
from the general fund to pay any ex-
cessive loss.
Within nine months after the sund
was started the state capitol burned.
The loss was promptly paid, and the.
loan was practically made good when

DEATH RATE
IS REDUCED

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. lin it's
report for the fiscal year ending June
so, 1916. the industrial accident COM
mission states that during 1915 there
were $50 fatalities in California in
dustry, 1864 permanent injuries and
G5,741 temporary injuries. The num-
Der of deaths was 1853 less than the
number reported in 1914
The wage loss created by industrial
injury in 1915 ran close to $780,
900. The wage loss for the 65,741
temporary injuries was $2,142.OOO
and the time loss was equal to 1850
years. The industry of transporta-
ton was again responsible for most
deaths, 172 out of 500.
The commission deplores the sys-
TEN Of insurance companies joining
together to contract for medical serv-
ice. AS an outcome of this system it
has been found there follows dissatis-
faction among the injured. injustice
and misunderstanding. The ideal sit
uatiOn is described as Incorporation
of the commission, insurance COM
panies, employers, injured men and
the medical profession"
The commission makes a plea for
more power to be vested in the state
insurance commissioner so that fl
nancially irresponsible insurance CON-
panies may not inflict losses upon
injured workers and the dependents
of the killed.

STATE INSURANCE SAVES
WISCONSIN HUGE SUM

of the State Teachers association, the
legislature extended the law to the
property of school districts choosing
to come in. This amendment ex-
tended the same privilege to cities,
villages and towns.
The rate to all is 50 per cent of the
company rates but the companies and
their agents-always' on the job
have been quite successful in saving
their 25 per cent commissions by
keeping the insurance with the stock
companies at the 100. per cent rate.
From July l, 1908, to April /, 1915,
the fund collected $44O.620 in pre-
miums and paid. out $3S0,2O6 for
losses. The expense for the whole
period was 1864. The 40 per cent
saving for the :12 years is $293,747.
After paying back all money bor-
rowed for the state capitol loss and
providing for the unearned premium
the same as the stock companies, the
fund then had a surplus of $30,44O,
making the total saving then nearly
$325,000 on the annual premium
basis
Fire insurance on public buildings
is carried on an annual and on a three
or fiwe-year term basis Much OF the
public business is carried. on the an
nual basis. Even had all the state
business been written on the five-year
plan the saving j in; interest alone
would have been $4,000 in the state
fund which adding accumulated sur

On the most favorable showing the
stock companies could ask.
How People Save.
The annual state fund premiums
are now nearly $4,000 as compared
to annual stock company premiums
OF about $4,000. a saving Of $685.
900 a year in the state fund. The
fund has received in premiums on
July l.. 1915. and July /. 1916. about
$4,000. and in spite of the burning
of the. Oshkosh Normal school and
the recent fire at the university, the
fund shows a surplus, and an actual
saving to the people of Wisconsin as
compared with the annual premiums
to the stock companies of more than
100000.
The fund now insures against fire
and tornado more than 1000 separate
buildings, the insurance amounting
to more than $20,000,00O.
Others are awakening. to the same
facts. The railroads, many of them,
carry their own insurance, and the
Pennsylvania road, one Of the larg-
est, has done this for years and accu-
mulated millions of savings. Minne-

FORCED INSURANCE
NOT DEMOCRATIC,
SAYS GOMPERS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Soc:al
insurance by force is not democratic,
even though it be disguised as COM
pulsory benevolence, writes President
Gompers in the current issue of the
American Federationist.
compulsory social insurance cam
not be administered he says, with
out exercising some control over wage
earners. This is the meat of the
whole matter. Industrial freedom
exists only when wage earners have
complete control over their labor
power. To delegate control over their
labor power to an outside agency
takes away from the economic power
of these wage earners and creates an
other agency for power. Whoever
has control of this new agency ac-
quires some degree of control over
the workers.. There is nothing to
the employed. 1t may also be con-
trolled by employers. In other words.
giving the government control over
industrial relations creates a fulcrum
which means great power for an un-
known user.
compulsory social insurance is in
it's essence undemocratic. The first
step in establishing social insurance
is to divide people into two groups
those eligible for benefits and those
considered capable to care for them
selves. The division is based upon
wage earning capacity. This govern
ment regulation tends to fix the citi-
zens of the country into classes. and
long, established insurance system
would tend to make these classes
rigid
There is in our country more vol.
untary social insurance than in any
other country of the world. We have
institutions whereby voluntary insur-
ance could be increased. It is true
that in many of these institutions
there are evils, but the cure for these
evils is to make insurance companies
organize for mutual benefit and to
provide proper regulation and con-
troll, and, in addition, If those who
really have the welfare of wage earn.
ers at heart will turn their activities
and their influence toward securing
for wage earners the opportunity to
organize, there will be no problems,
no suffering and no need that will
necessitate the considerati ton of benev-
olent assistance OF a. compulsory
character" -::.
