ADVOCATES STATE
 INSURANCE

Radical remedies to solve the prob lems of the man permanetly crippled in industry are advocated by Carl Hoo kstadt in an article in the December number of the monthly labor Review, issued by the Bureau of Labor Statis- tics of the United States Department of\Labor. His proposals are:
 The compensation scale of benefits to be materially increased to approx innate the loss of earning capacity. Adequate medical and surgical treat ment to be furnished by the State. Vocational schools closely correlated to rehabilitation hospitals.
 Unemployment at suitable jobs and at fair wages.
 Establishment of exclusive State In surance fund or an employers mutual association to be substituted for com petitive casualty companies.
 Establishment of a central authority preferably of an industrial accident commission, to administer and super wise the entire rehabilitation problem.
 Interesting figures brought out by several investigations show that in Massachusetts the average period of total disability for the loss of a hand or arm is 19.4 months, while in Cali fornia it is 12.7 months. For the loss of foot or leg in Massachusetts PAS months are lost, while 134 months are lost in California for the same accident.
 1.-Two important facts stand out" writes MT, Hookstadt. "One is the greater severity of the foot and leg injuries over those of the hand and arm and the other the unexpected long disability in all cases. One-third of the workers losing hand or foot ] are disabled for IS months or over. i The average length of total disability ] for the lesser injuries is: Loss Of eve AS months; one thumb, 24 months; one finger. 21 months; two or more fingers, 3.S months"
 The seriousness of the disability in.. creases with the age of the workman , the investigations conducted by MT. Hookstadt prove.
 About one-third of the persons sus- taining a major injury return to the same employer" writes MT. Hookstadt land about one-fourth reenter the the same occupation, while in the case of l minor injuries three-fourths return to the same employer and two-thirds fol low the same occupation.
 Inability to speak English in many oases lessens the opportunity for re- employment although it is not possi- b1e to show this statistically because of incomplete data. In a number of oases reported by the industrial ac- cident board and by insurance com- nsnies in Massachusetts. this factor had determining influence Ability to understand and speak English may
 
 ne tender in cotton mill, but it is essential to watchmen, messengers, and elevator operators, and it is occu- nations of this, character that most of he injured employees fill after their injury.
 Summarizine the above conclusions declares MT, Hookstadt, it may be said that reemployabilitv of crippled industrial workers varies directly with decree of occupation skill and ability to speak English, and inversly with the severity of the injury and the age of the employe.
 The period of total disability re- sulting from the injury Is unnecessa- 4a4eS-SeeH- -9eeE seee S4ee- -s4ee-s {

Farmers, seed mills az d agricultural
agents of Mississippi met last week
aud agreed on a price of $50 to $54 per
ton for cotton seed bought from the
wagon. in Somervile the price is s49
per ton. The price of meal made from
these seed is higher than it was ever
known, except for the little squirt OF
sixty days ago. What does it mean?
Simply that mills are charging much
more for milling the seed than ever be-
fore, making wider their margin OF
profit. Whenever the price seed falls
below the price of the best meal made
from them, pound for pound, there ]:
little less than robbery on the part Of
the mi!ls, and the farmer is the maj

Another effect of organization
and the lack of organization
of organization is shown in the cotton
seed price in Somervlle. All gins in
SomerviIle are owned by oil mills out
side the county and have fixed the
price to be paid to farmers for cotton
seed here at $40 per ton. against near
" $50 paid last season. There Is no in
dependent buyer here and the organiza-
ton of seed mills has It's way and takes
the seed st its own price because it is

Wheel Tax, It's Constitution.

Since the passage of the "Wheel
Tax Law" applying to Fayelte County
there has been much discussion among
our people as TO the constitutioaality Of
this law. The legislature Of 1917 pass
a similar wheel tax law applicable to
Lake county. In 1919 the Legislature
passed the wheel tax law applying to
Eayette county. The Fayette county
law wxs drafted from the Lake county
law in subsistence. aimost the exact lsn.

seems that most people who object
to the wheel tax law base their objec.

poses privilege tax ona farm wsgon
which lie q necessity, and that therefore
this law should be declared unconsti.
tutional. The constitutionality of the
Lake county law has been settled by
the Supreme Court in decision handed
down by Judge Bachman at Nashville
last Saturday. In this decision the
Supreme Court holds that the use of the
public roads is a taxable privilege. and
the Court holds the law to be valid
