EMPL0YE AND
WORKER VICTIMS
Privately Owned Accident and Liabll-
fty Insurance Concerns Steal Alike
from Owners and Workers.

One Of the first discoveries Of the
Workmen's Compensation Bureau, Gre
ated by the last legislature, is that
the old line accident and liability in
surance companies rob alike the en-
ployed and employer, in their handling
OF the business Of insurance against
accident and injury Of employees. Un-
til now, employers have resorted to
old line insurance companies to secure
insurance against accident to their en-
ployes and to assure themselves
against liability in case Of accident or
death Of the men employed by them.
Under these conditions last year, en-
ployers in the state paid these pri-
vate insurance companies 100000 in
premiums. The "~losses," that is the
accidents and deaths which would call
for the payment of the policies issued
by the insurance companies, were
$24,oOO. But not even this amount has
been paid to the dependents of the
men killed and injured. Instead, about
half of the $4,000 had been paid! In
brief, after receiving 100000 as in
surance premiums, paid to protect both
employer and employee, less than $751;
600 has been paid back to the wives
and children of the men who suffered
injury or death at their work. The
remainder, a mere $4,000. remains as
profits" in the hands Of privately
owned insurance companies.
In opposition and by contrast to such

new ACT MAKES
A FREED PRESS
Printing Bill, Passed by Farmers, IL
First Move to Make Certain Free
dom for Newspapers Of State.

OF all the reform measures passed
by the farmers at the last session Of
the legislature, none has received more
attention and more unfair interpreta.
ton than the law affecting newspapers
and commonly known as the printing
bill or the official newspaper bill. The
occasion for this attention probably
has been the fact that it affected the
newspapers, and the newspaper men
Of the state, interested in their own
business, have given columns to it's
discussion and to it's denunciation. In
most cases those who oppose it and
decry its terms are like children who
do not know what is good for them
and wall aloud when the remedial
medicine is placed to their lips.
The Law Is a Good One
Despite this reluctant attitude of the
newspaper men of the state, the law
- a good one, not alone for the tax
payers but for the newspapers them
selves. There can be no argument
against that part of the law relating
to these points: > ,..@
The saving and benefit of hav-
ing one official newspaper, in
stead Of three in each county;
The election of that newspaper
by the people, rather than hav-
ing it appointed by eang-control-
led officials;

~pronteerlng, We have the WorkmenS
Compensation law, passed by the
farmer legislature, by which employ
ers are required to insure their en-
ployes against accident. Under the
operation Of this law the cost Of the
insurance will be exactly the amount
of the losses incurred during the year
with the actual cost Of handling the
business, which is entrusted to a Bu-
reau, composed of three men: John
N. Hagen, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture and Labor; L. J. Wehe, attorney
at law, Devils Lake; S. s. Mcdonald,
president Of the State Federation OF
Labor. These three men will not be
guided by an instinct to make profits.
They will have no reason to wish to
see the state make a profit Of $147,OOO
a year from premiums paid in by en-
ployers or from Withholding the in
surance money due the laborer who is
laid up by reason of an accident, and
who may find himself and family in
sore distress by reason of having no
money and being unable to earn any,
because of his accident.
Undoubtedly the farmers Of the
state will be branded as socialists"
because they have dared to take out
of private hands a power abused and
distorted, and have placed it in the
hands of the state. Some Of the en-
ployers who now are inclined to de-
nounce the trend Of this Law, after
they find that their premiums are con-
siderably reduced and that they are
protected effectively, may welcome the
change, and as employers in Ohio and
Washington today are doing, where a
similar law is in operation, will resent
any attempt to repeal or rescind the
full and perfect protection that this
law gives both to the laborer and to
the employer, at a cost greatly less
than that charged by the profit-making
privately owned insurance companies.

the hue and cry is raised entirely
about n feature of the bill and that
is, that portion which requires all
legal notices of every sort required to
be published, to be published in the
official newspaper designated by the
people.
That part Of the law will take

past, and all in all take up golf this sea-
son with the same enthusiasm that
marked their play in the pre-war days.
The association will suffer a great
loss if Miss H. Ethel Maule, the very
efficient secretary, carries out her eN-
pressed determination OF resigning. Miss
Maule is an unusually capable official,
so good is she in fact, that many a mans
golf association would be delighted to
have one as able. 1t is to be hoped that
she can be persuaded to change her mind
and continue in office for at least an
other year.
1t is expected that the women will go
on record with an expression of opinion
as to the advisability of holding their
national championship tournament at
Philadelphia course, rather than at
shawnee on the Delaware, the club
which was awarded the event in 1917
but lost out because the title compett-
ton was called off for that year. Theo-
retically Shawnee has first call for this
season, but the club would hardly in

APPROACH SHOT,
OF GREAT VALUE
If Played Correctly, Can
Overcome Poor Driving
and Putting
SOME USEFUL HINT S
By CHARLES CHICK EVANS

DN 'SiIINN fN+NG
In my previous article stated the
approach shot ranks with the most use
ful shots in the golfers bag AS most of
my readers will understand an approach
shot is the playing of any stroke within
100 yards Of the green, Most players
regard 1t as the most difficult, and they
also recognize 1t as Of the most value.
Taylor. the great British professional.
SAYS in speaking Of the approach shot:
The stroke is a difficult one from the
fact that IT is. or should be. played solely
from the wrist There is not a sem
blance Of body swing about it A.; II is wrist
work. and that alone, from which success
is attained.
Wrist Movement
Every atom of the work in a stroke
such as l am now describing comes from
the wrist--I am now speaking in a broad
sense-and those players who are pos
sessed of naturally flexible yet strong
wrists. hold a great advantage, but
others should Got be discouraged by
any inability to do all that is required
at their initial appearances. The art OF
playing any. particular stroke cannot be
learned without the expenditure of time
and trouble
THE most popular club is admitted to
be the maShie. Still II IL only during re-
cent years that the mashie has been
used as a club with which approach
shots can best be played. Formerly the
golfer, amateur or professional, in play
ing shot of this description. used an
iron. Now the mashie has been found
to be better adapted for the purpose,
with it's short deep blade, than the long
narrow blade in the iron"
Has Another Value
Surely Taylor has had the experience
to know whereof he speaks. l would
point out another important fact about
the approach shot, and that Is its great
value in recovering from poor drive. A
player who has mastered the approach
shot is always dangerous, and though
his drive may be wide in the hole, his
opponent cannot count him out until
after his approach shot has been made.
And again the man who Is skilful
with the mashie has a great advantage
to offset any poor putting he may do. for
the skillful player of the approach shot
can Otter afford an extra stroke on the
green. And so in an important sense the
approach shot with the mashie Is one of
the decisive shots of the game-almost
sine qua non shot-if l may be par
doned a lap into highbrow fields.
And let me throw in one suggestion
| here for all fireside golfers to think over
| and that is-avoid a flexible shaft In
| your mashie.
