The ceremony was favored by bril-

In view of the fact that the amounts
offered in the bidding for the former
German ships are below the totals OF
the original sealed bids, which were
not considered entirely satisfactory,
it is doubted if the board will wish
to 90 through with the sale. A few
of the offers may be accepted.
Bidding on ex-German passenger ves-
sells proved a disappointment. In
nearly all cases the offers made at
the auction conducted by the Ship

were no bidders for considerable

Humanity Plan Is Sound


"No one can, l think, quarrel with
the humanity of such purposes, nor
with the general desirabiIity of pro-
tecting injured workmen and in death
cases, their dependent, so that their
usefulness to the community at large
may be conserved and SO that they
may be prevented from becoming a
charge upon the state. / am impressed
with the thought, however, that in the
institution of such policy, the state
assumed the responsibility of seeing
that as large an award for injuries
or death should be made as is pos
sible without creating too heavy a bur-
den upon the shoulder of the employ
er. That may be accomplished, per-
haps through the creation of state
insurance fund, managed by the state,
to which the employer shall contribute
and out of which compensation is to
be made, thereby eliminating the ex-
action from the employer of accident
insurance premiums large enough to
earn profits for the companies carry
ing on such business.
Il am further strengthened in this
by certain information which 1 have
obtained from the department of bank
ing and insurance, viz:
THAT between the year 1913 and
the year 1918, inclusive, such compa-
MES collected in premiums from the
employers of this state the sum of APP
proximately SIT 100000 and that they
paid out to injured workmen or to de-
pendents in death cases only approxi-
mately s6,500O0O. The difference of
S10,500,0o0 approximately is, of course,
the companies profit, less the expense
of handling the business.
Il have eliminated from considera-
ton transactions prior to 1913, for the
reason that during the years 1911 and
1912 separate reports of workmen's
compensation premiums and losses
were not made and We're included with
general liability insurance.
1.-The following table may be of value
in considering this matter In passing
I might say, that it is Illuminating to
observe the tremendous increase in
amount of premium collected in 1918
over 1916 and the comparatively SIN II
proportional increase in the amount of
losses for the same period"
The table shows the following fig
