CLIFFORD GETTING THE MONEY

The first years experience with the
flat rate schedules promulgated by
Director of Labor and Industries Ed
ward Clifford shows that under the
new system it is almost impossible
for employers to escape paying their
share Of industrial insurance cost.
At present there are less than 100
employers in the state who are delin-
quent on their industrial insurance
assessments. At the same time there
are approximately 1900 uncollected
assessments for the year 1920 and
there are unpaid accounts that run
back to 1914. Some of the debts
owed to the industrial insurance
fund are outlawed, but the depart
ment still is trying to collect them.
Under the old system, in vogue be
fore the department of labor and in
dustries was created irregular as
sessments were made against en-
ployers to pay expenses of industrial
insurance in their branch of indus
try. At the close of the year it was
the practice to strike balance and
issue what was termed an adjust
ment call to pay up deficiencies. This
adjustment call was delayed, at
times, as long as nine months. The
result was that employers engaged in
temporary business escaped pay
ments and many others evaded the
collectors, yet remained in business.
The whole burden Of industrial in
surance fell on the employers who
cheerfully obeyed the law.
Director Clifford worked out an es-
innate if cost of insurance, based on
previous experience, and put into eff
feet a flat rate this year. Branch Of
fees were made responsible for col
lections and nearly all employers,
knowing exactly what the cost of in
surance for the year would be, have
paid promptly. The credit bureau
has kept a close check on the finan-
cial condition of employers and pre-
vented any losses through business
failures.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
| CHRISTMAS EVE
Of YESTERYEAR |

CHRISTMAS eve Of long ago!
Little stockings in a row,
Hung with care, and mouths all wide,
Begging by the chimney eide.
Children's chatter, eager, sweet,
Romping patter of little feet;
Hearts all flutterins with delight,
Eyes with questioning wonder bright.
Children, when their prayer. were sail.
frolicking away to bed,
With the Child of Bethlehem
In their hearts, a child with them!
Home hearts, which home joys could fill.
Shrines of peace and all goodwill;
Happy hands of parent thrift
Placing for each child some gift.
Little stockings in a row,
Filled at last from top to toe!--
Years nor grief can dim it, glow,
Chistmss eve of long ago!
