DRIVE AGAINST
ACCIDENTS WILL
Be CARRIED ON
Safety Council Adopts a
Plan Which It is Hoped
Will Reduce the Number
of Killed and Injured.

Chicago, Feb. 20.--A plan 10 ap-
ply the Foch strategy when WON
the world war to the war on W
dustriaI accidents is announced d,
the headquarters of the hatioi.ai
safety council in Chicago A.
though there has been through inc
medium OF the national safety
council n constant exchange of IN
formation regarding the ettectlte
methods of preventing acclaehts'
safety campaigns have been con
Quoted independently in each Vi
the 5000 member plants of the
council Despite the great strides
which have been made in the pre-
vention of accidents by these scat
tered campaigns, there are still
anproximatelv $4,000 workers
killed, and 100000 injured in in
dustrial accidents each year, ac-
cording to statistics of the coun-
Gil. 1t is expected that the new
plan will make possible great re-
auctions in these figures.
During 1921 the members or the
council under this new plan are
attempting a unified and intensive
accident prevention campaign. the
plan announced by the council calls
for a concentrated attack, through
all available means, on different
hazard each month.
Thus during January in approXi-
mately 5000 industrial plants
mines, railroads and other public
utilities throughout the country a
special campaign was conducted
against ladder accidents, 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 persons are killed
in ladder accidents each year. The
February campaign, now under
way, is against neglect of minor
injuries and infections arising
therefrom.
Campaigns are announced for
the other ten months against the
following hazards:
March-Unsafe clothing.
April-Horse play.
Maryland tool hazards.
Understanding or sitting in dan
gerous places.
| July-Machinery hazards.
| August-Inattentio
September-Fire.
October-Health hazards.

administration, but my opinion is
that this was we'll worth doing, in
spite of the fact that it resulted in
some official toes being stepped
on a trifle more heavily than If it
had been possible to conduct
complete. survey with full testl-
mony from all department heads
and employees. | predict Mr..
Joerns will find little support out
side of official circles for his
charge that it was rather pre-
sumptuous on the part of this COM
mission to inquire into the eXpen-
diture of money by the various de-
partments' (page 81. The alleged
bad taste shown by the commission
in thus considering their functions
broadly is certainly matched and
surpassed by Mr.. Joerns when. on
page II, he flatly charges his col
/ leagues with making misleading
statements.
Let the People Judge.
The conclusion is clear. The mi
nority report should not be per
mitted to have the effect which

not desire. It's effect should be tC
strengthen and not to weaken the
main report. Let the people of the
state study both reports thorough
~ and not allow the narrow spirit
of the Joerns report to divert then
from their definite demand for the
tax reform which Mr.. Joerns him
self says he wants. The admins
tration of the property tax must bt
regenerated. The income ta'
should be established but, for thu
present, should be left simple
enough to be easily administered
The mine tax should at once b'
put upon a scientific basis whici

that now borne by other economl

Santa Fe, Feb. 20.-That John
Joerns, secretary of the state tax
commission and a member of the
special revenue commission, while
signing the letter of transmissal
with the majority report, turned
in a minority report was really a
second majority report, using the
majority's waste basket as an i'm
portant source of material" is the
declaration of Robert Murray Haig
professor of economics at Column
bia university and special counsel
for the revenue commission.
Professor Haig turns Mr.. Joerns'
report upside down and shows
that in it the latter fills his re-
port with men of straw which he
proceeds gloomily to punch TO
statement relative to the sJoerns'
report that "Mr. Joerns exhibits q
pettifogging eagerness to appear tc
differ when he really does not,
This is apt to be mischievous in
its effects. To the careful reader
his report constantly suggests the
urchin sitting in the middle of the
road tossing dust into the air.
This is no time for dust tossing"
Often No Disagreement.
"As one turns the pages of his
report" says Professor Haig, "one
gains the impression of continued
dissent but when one carefully
compares his material with that
in the majority report he often
finds that there is really no dis
agreement at all"
Commenting upon the present
mine tax law the commissions eX-
pert. who has served as tax ex-
pert for the British government
declared
"If the people in general
fully understood the present
mine law, 1t Is scarcely con-
ceivable that 1t would still be
on the statute books"
Following is the full text OF the
statement of Professor Haig with
reference to the Joerns minority
