ALL COULD RIDE IN AUTOS
Kansas Has Enough Gas Wagons fcs
Every Citizen.

Every man, woman and child in
Kansas-and there are about LOO, 900
of them-could ride in automobiles
owned, in the state. all at the same
time, and the cars would not be greatly
crowded. The number of automobile
licenses issued by the secretary of
state has passed the $50. 600 mark, and
it is expected that last years total,
1902, will be passed in the next few
days..
From these figures it appears that a
car is owned in Kansas for every
seven persons, and this ratio will be re-
duced to one car for every six persons
before next July 1, end of the fiscal
year. if predictions of the license divi-
sion for a total of 30O.0 900 are fulfilled.
Recent reduction in price of cars
probably will result in more sales and
consequently a greater number of
licenses. said l.. J. Pettijohn, secretary
of state.
Since the ratio for the entire United
States is about one car to every twelve
persons. Karsas is apparently twice as
well motorized as the average state.

SHOULD AMEND KANSAS LAW
Labor Commissioner Says Workmen's
Compensation Act Should Be Altered.


The Kansas workmen's compensa-
ton law should be amended SO as to
require employers to carry liability in
surance. This is the belief of John
H. Crawford, state commissioner of la
Dor and industry
I'm all other states except Alabama,
Arizona and Louisiana, payment of
compensation in case of accident is
made certain by requiring employees to
insure their risk said Mr.. Crawford.
But if employers are required to
carry liability insurance, the state
should protect them against excessive
liability insurance premiums by pro-
viding state insurance or a rate max
ing board
Declaring that the compensation
act should cover all industries regard
less of the number of men employed,
Mr. Crawford said: "a workman los
ing his arm in a shop employing but
two men needs compensation the same
as those injured in the presence of
fifty workmen."
Among other changes in the present
law which q committee including Mr..
Crawford Will consider in making its
recommendations to the next legisla-
ture are:
Increase in the present maximum
and minimum compensation which Is
so per cent of the average weekly
wage but in no case less than Sc or
more than SIS
Physicians and hospital allowance
for injured.
Adjustment of compensation so that
injured workers with dependents will
receive more than those without.
