The Compensation
Bill is Merely an
Equal Rights Bill

ME so-ca1led Compensation Bill now before
the Wisconsin Legislature might be called by
any other name. 1t doesn't grant compensa-
ton to anybody for anything It only grants the
right to sue. That is right every other citizen
enjoys-to go into court and asi. payment for
injury or damage sustained It might better be
called an Equal Rights Bill.
1t could be called Legal Corrective Bill for it
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 a street car or auto
mobile, compensation or payment for your in
juries is not handed to you. You have to prove
your case 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 that is all the so-called Con,per-
satior bill procides II does not grant
Compensation to bretoerS or anybody
else in case of Prohibition. 1t pro-
UidcS no payment and carries no uo-
preparation. 1t only opens the legal
tUGy that the corporation
effected go into the Circuit Court
and ask for a hearing of his clG;n,
for damages. Then he must trooe
his case before jury, Just the same
any other petitioner.
And you sit on the jury. You grant him a
measure of Compensation or you do not, according
to the evidence.
Is there anything unreasonable or unfair in
that?
