CHEYENNE. wyo.. Dec. 2o.-
State LabosyC Commissioner Harry Z.
Hoffman concurs in the opinion OF
State Treasurer \. ID. Hoskins
that the wyoming workmen's con-
pensatiun law should be amended
TO do away with the fiat rate as
sessment system and TO substitute
therefore a system OF ASSESSMENT
based on the element OF risk In the
industries affected. He says in his
annual report TO Governor Carey;
Under the present law every
employer listed as being engaged
in an extra-hazardors occupupat on
nays one and ont-half per cent of
his monthly payroll into the indus
trial fund. regardless of the amount
expended On his account or the
amount OF money received from
him. The burien n cos is not
equitably distributed.
''True. all employers obtain the
same protection against damage
suits. but hat protection is in d.
rect proportion to the accident
rate: that Is. an employer having
a large number of accidents receives
more value from our compensation
act than does he-who has but few,
The flat rate system tends to take
away incentive TO make employ
men safe.
at seams 10 us that the ends of
