business that does not vary extensive
ly, while the unsteady employer may
have the type that is variable, and
neither can control or regulate the
conditions.
The reserve acco..nt' system re-
lated to the "merit rating" system,
also gives the steady employer and
his employees the advantage of their
regularity. Il !encs to protect more
the employees of the steady firm,
which seems to need it less. and pen
alize those of the irregular firm,
which seem to need it most.
Experience may show that a COM
hination of the three forms would
meet tie needs best. A percentage Of
the contributions oe each employer
would thus be placed in the pooled
fund or general fund, as a sort OF
reserve for all employees. The re-
mainGer would be placed in the ere
serve account of individual employ
ers anG their employees paid from
their fund. If this fund should become
exhausted, then there would be the
pooled fund" from which a more
limited amount might be drawn. If the
fund of an individual employer be-
came low, then his rate might be in
creased if a large reserve should be
accumulated for another employer,
then his rate might be reduced until
his reserve reached low point. Then
he would be required to pay into the
fund unit; it is built up again.
Employers, as we'll as employees,
are interested in these forms of con-
tributions ard methods of handling
the funds, and will doubtless give the
various forms and methods or COM
Sinations of them, thought and study
during the next year and half, and
;ive the commission the opportunity
to embrace their views in the report
to be compiled and presented by the
commission to the Governor within
80 days of the converting of the 1899
General Assembly.

speaking, than President Roosevelt.
In fact, he is spoken of as more
than a presidential possibility in 1916
as almost a probability.

executive mansion is drafted to run
again three years hence the G. I. O.
chieftain verges on being the hest bet
for the nomination at the head of the
major ticket for the succeeding term
at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue.
WHAT TAG? snB
Just how this ticket will be de-
signated I haven't much idea
The old parties are disintegrating
A realignment is in progress.
If "F. D. r." is ,renominated, it
doubtless will be, as matter of
habit, under his old label-the Demo
cratic. However. it will not be the old
Democratic party.
If some one like Lewis should be
named his party may have a mod
ernied "monicker."
1t may call itself "Progressive,' or
Labor" or FarmerLabor," or some
such name. Or it may stick to one of
the older designations, no longer
meaning anything. Or it may hit on
some new name.
FARMER-LABOR?
Farmer-Labor? Farmer?
I'm not so sure that Lewis will ap-
peal to the farmers.
There ought to be community Of
interests between urban labor and
agriculture, but there doesn't seem to
re. The elements clash instead The
effort has been made to unite them
but it hasn't been very successful.
Lewis to be an effective proletar-
ian leader, will have to catch the
farm, as well as the city labor vote.
Can he do it?
I don't know.
There should be poll of farm, as
well as urban labor sentiment to de-
termine the question. And there
hasn't been one, each against each.
