the rural voter.
This is the last day of the show. and
it will close the week with a new at
tendance record for this city-about
30 1000 visitors. Not only has the at
tendance been larger. but the interest
has been more spontaneous and the re =
suits greater than before.
The exhibitors smilingly reported al
unusual number of sales made on the
floor and orders taken for delivery
However. they had the goods and all
that was needed to make most of the
deals was the common meeting ground

of the future is to be in expert hads.
And that these college-trained men

nails came off, and parts of the feet

accident to the state insurance
bureau to which they had paid
several hundred dollars for accident
insurance for the year, and they took
prompt action to have the injured
man cared for, sending him to a hos
pital and expanding something like
$1,000 on him in the course of the
summer. The state bureau Of in
surance turned down the claim on
the ground that the accident hap
pened after working hours and on
the further ground that the man was
only working by the day. One Of the
owners, Mr.. Alex Younie Of Blackfoot
reported the outcome of the accident
to me in response to my request in
chapter one, for people to bring me
information on such subjects. Mr..
Younie also reported the outcome of
another case that happened in their
operations in the year 1918. A man
serving on the rock work was acct
dentally killed by the falling of a
rock while on duty, and the remains
were shipped to some town in Canada
at the request of relatives. The power
company acted promptly, paying all
bills, and expected that the insurance
bureau would reimburse them out of
the mans insurance. But the state
bureau refused to pay anything, and
advised them that the way for them
to get their money was to sue the
dead man or his estate, get judgment
and then present the judgment to the
state bureau of insurance and get
their money back. The power COM
pany quit in disgust.

Chapter III.


The State of New York enacted a
workman's compensation law in 1910
and found that it was constantly cor
rupted by politics and favoritism.
Some people got large and generous
allowances for friends of theirs who
were injured in accidents, and in
other cases the commission who fixed
upon the amount of the compensation
was Influenced in favor of the en-
ployer on account of friendship or
pull and the allowance to the injured
person was cut down. Some firms did
not take out insurance at all and
were not prosecuted because Of
friendships with the prosecut-
ing power, and some operated
dangerous equipment wit h GU t
proper safeguards or shields,
and were not dealt with be-
cause they were friends of the in
spector or the prosecuting officer.
Books were not we'll kept under some
administrations, and it was difficult
to determine which firms had kept
up their insurance and which had
not. A few months ago commits
son was appointed to examine, into
the affairs of the insurance bureau
and they found things in such a con-
dition that they employed an auditor
to 60 over the books and tell them
what they meant. The report Of the
auditor showed that the bureau was
solvent but not in good condition.
Then he qualified his statements by
saying that there were some things
about the bookkeeping that nobody
on earth could explain or be sure Of,
and his whole statement might be
very much modified if the true con-
dition could be known, and the
mystery of the books made clear. He
said the insurance bureau had suf-
fered from all the vices known to
business and politics and that bad
management and inefficiency were in
evidence everywhere.
