Says Exccutive-'Bad' Pro-
visions Cause Failure Of
Hail Insurance Bill

Two more bills late Tuesday were
added to the list vetoed by Governor
SOrlie, bringing his total for the day
to four.
Bills killed by the governors ac-
tion yesterday afternoon were II. B.
81, permitting appeals by workmen
from decisions of the state work
mems compensation bureau, and $.
b. 55, revising and amending the
state hail insurance law in many par
ticulars
Tuesday morning the executive
vetoed bills amending the law rcla.
ing to the qualifications of coroncrs
and changing the law relating to
travel outside the state by state Of
ficers and employees.
In vctoing House Bill 81 the ex.
eeutive said:
This bill provides that in all cases
heard by the workmen's compensa-
tiOn bureau where claimants are dis
satisfied with the decision Of the
bureau, appeals may" be- taken to the
district court.
The existing law could no doubt
be improved in some respects but
this bill is obviously ~. an improve
ment. One of the main purposes of
the workmen's compensation insur-
ance is to insure adequate protection
to injured workmen without the
necessity of resorting TO legal ac
tion. A strong contributing factor
was the desire to spare the work
man heavy expenses in retaining Il
lawyer to fight his case. Had this
bill proposed a reasonable limit on
the fees of lawyers prosecuting such
appeals it would have been much
better bill.
Not a WOrkingman-s Bill
"On the other hand, had this pro-
vision been included in the bill there
would have been much less agitation
for its passage. Lawyers who lob
bicd for it during the session were
quite frank in their statements that
it would mean money to them. There
is no contention that the bill was
being demanded by the workingmcn
Of the state. The workmcns com
pensation insurance laws were de-
signed to protect the wOrkingman
not to build up business for at
torneys. Were this workingman'
bill and not bill sponsored by u
few ambulance chasing lawyers,
would have signed it.

THE o OF SCHOOL

When you were a schooLboy, or schoolgirl, a red letter day
of the year was when school was dismissed for the summer
vacation. 1t mattered not if you were one of the ones who like
to go to school. There are such girls and an occasional boy OF
the same kind. The attitude of the pupils at the closing OF the
school year will not be misunderstood by those who have not
forgotten their own feelings under similar circumstances. There
is eagerness to lay aside books and pencils and rest from the
routine which has been the order for nine months.
The suggestion which is sometimes made that the school
wear should be. continuous and that the summer vacation, it
granted at all, should be short, gets mighty little endorsement
from those it would affect chiefly. Even the teachers we I'M
agine would not wish to surrender the weeks of relaxation
though it might mean a little more pay.
The average boy in the grades regards school as a species
of punishment inflicted on him because he cannot help himself
1t is the exception for the boy to hold it needful to do more that
will "get him by" This may not be the ideal boy, but it is
somewhere near the description of the normal boy. When the
boy lands in the high school, ambition may burgeon, but the
small boy who is studious is likely to be regarded as catering
to the prize of being the teachers pet and that in tie average
estimate is nothing but a disgrace.
1t is well that parents and school authorities have views
somewhat at variance with the pupils, else school rooms would
not +De filled to the extent they are. Were it not so there
would be longer vacations and shorter school terms. 1t happens
that so long as children are in the grades, the parents know
what is best for them. When the children get into college the
situation may be reversed and the children know what is best
for parents. At least there is some practice on that theory.

SUCCESS TALKS

Courtesy is the one medium of exchange which is accepted
at par by the best people of every country on the globe.
1t is sentiment cloaked in reasonable and busness-hke ex-
pression-the establishment that adds tone. to harmony chime of
commercial goodfelowship and promotes the smooth running
of the many units in an organization.
Courtesy radiates a spirit of good feeling that we are not
working entirely for what we get out of work in a material way
but for the pleasure of polite transaction and friendly assoc
citation as well. aE
Life is not too short and we are never too busy to be
courteous, for courtesy is the outward expression of an inward
consideration for others. 4t m s t

CONTINUE TO CLEAN UP

A start has been made by Cody residents, with the coming
of warmer days, to make this community sic and span. Lets
keep up the good work until we are surrounded by bowers of
flowers, shubbery, green grass, well kept lawns and streets and
nicely cleaned buildings.
A little outlay of work along this line will make Cody a
place talked of well outside our own community. Farmers will
like to come to town for a visit and to trade; a clean, well kept
town viii be a distinct form of community advertising that will
make itself felt in other localities.
But there is really no necessity for telling our readers their
duty at this season of the year. They know without being told
that every hour lost now in cleaning up and Frightening their
premises means a loss that cannot be made up later in 1927.
A clean home helps to make a clean town. Don't wait for
your neighbor to start-you set the example this year.
