OHIO COMPENSATION FUND

| The New York State Federation of
| Labor Bulletin of recent date says,
under the heading, "How an Exclusive
State Insurance Fund Crows:
During the past fiscal year the
| S45, 100000 reserve fund of the Ohio
exclusive state insurance fund for
| workmen's compensation earned ST.
| 100000 from interest, and a large
part of this earning is being devoted
to decreasing the amount of premiums
to be paid by Ohio employers. Eleven
millions of dollars were paid in COM
pensation awards in Ohio during the
year without contest or litigation, and
| it cost employers less than that total
for the year because of the interest
earnings credited. Commenting on
these facts, the Cleveland Press says:
"No wonder Ohio workmen like the
compensation law. They don't have
to sue their employers for damages.
No wonder Ohio employers like the
law. They don't have to fight damage
suits. No wonder insurance companies
fought the law-and still fight it.
1t hurts their profits"
Yes, the insurance companies are
still fighting the law. 1t keeps organ
lied labor and employers constantly
on their guard lest the liabilities COM

posed, if possible, to get fifteen thou
sand subscribers of 81 each. This
should be easy, and the Press pre-
diets it is going to prove easy of
accomplishment.
Here is movement to benefit
every man, woman and child in the
city, and everyone should get back of
it and boost. And the Press be-
lieves they will. Surely there are
more than $4,000 people in Hamilton
who will willingly and gladly give a
dollar for this fine purpose. One dol
lar is what you are going to be ask
ed to contribute. Of course if you see
fit to give more the committee will
not refuse to accept it, but one dol
lar is all that is asked. Fifteen thou
sand dollars is not much for the pur-
pose when one considers the whole
city giving it. Thirty thousand would
be more like it. This drive should be
easy, and with Frank Vaughn, chair
man, to lead the way, and Herbert
Twitchell, chairman, to keep
prodding and urging the committee
men to further efforts, with rest for
no one, she's bound to go over big.
Let's go, altogether for Potter Park
and another playground for the kid
dies, swell loafing place for the older
folks and golf links for the fellow
who thinks he is playing-yet work

banks help the individual and the COM

a canny Scotchman had a bright
idea that if money saved could be
made to earn more money. paying in
terest on deposits, it would be a great
encouragement TO saving-and the
modern savings bank was born. That
was only 115 years ago. and in that
comparatively brief space of time all
the savings banks in the world have
been established.

Budget Thrift Plan Success.
An echo of the recent Thrift week
campaign held In Washington comes
in a suggestion by the Magazine OF
Wall Street that every family ought
to have not only a carefully prepared
budget covering all home expenses,
but that watch dog" over the bud
get is also greatly needed. Every sue
cessful corporation has some one
watch the expenditure of every cent
and limit the outlay wherever possible.
So far as Washington Is concerned
1t is declared by local bankers that
the home-budget phase of the Thrift
week campaign was a success. Just
how successful is hard TO say. But
most banks gave out all or nearly all
of the little budget books which they
kept on hand for their customers. AS
all the banks were literally supplied
with these books. the campaign must
have made a strong appeal.
Florida Boom Slows Up.
According to the Alexander Hamil-

is every reason to expect a satisfac-

Current sales and the volume of
