81" COMPENSATION LAW
''tA tt of interest to Employer and
r^; OT pioy»****-Su *)lu*t,O,J by Peter
'Henrctty, .Secretary State
- compensation Commis
sion.
'Section 1 of the law makes it com
]sor y upon both employer and em-
PLe to accept the provisions of the
F t by * "*■ declaration of the police
nower, that all phases of the prein
fesare withdrawn from private con
troversy, thus avoiding all possibility
oU^page suits.
Section 2 enumerates the employ
ments to which the act applies.
Section 3 Is the definitions of what
factories, mills, workshops, mines,
quarries, engineering works, etc.,
means under the act, and also a very
■ clear definition of what workman
means under this act.
• V Section i compels the employer to
■■"A into the state treasury a per
cental* of his pay roll sufficient only
to carry the schedule of compensa
tion Stained in section 5 without
,j, cost of administration) upon a
j;*! classification of industries and
premiums.
Bach class is only responsible for
tbs accidents occurring in its own
class, thereby forming an industrial
Insurance company for each class of
industry under state management,
and at state cost; therefore It means
to the employer: First, that the
state Insures each of his workmen to
the extent of $4000 for a death or
permanent total disability. Second,
that the state insures each of his
workmen to the extent of $1500 for
permanent partial disability, such as
the loss of a major arm at or above
the elbow, which is the maximum
partial disability. Smaller partial
disability shall bo graded according
to the extent of the injury, by the
department, and paid in lump sum.
Third, the state insures each of his
workmen who are injured if engaged
in enumerated hazardous occupa
tions, temporarily Incapaclating them
from work to th,- extent of $30 per
month if single men, up to $52.50
per month If married men with two
or more children, for the first six
months, but in no case to exceed 60
per cent of tin- wages the injured
workman was receiving at the time
the injury occurred. In computing
the monthly wage lor this purpose
the daily wage being received by the
workman must be multiplied by 26,
Fourth: Three months' initial pay
ments must be made by the employer
before the first of October, 1911, and
all the payments made by each class
of Industry shall be credited to the
account of that class, and should no
accidents occur In any particular
class during October or the follow
ing months then no further collec
tion shall be made from that class
until a further collection becomes
necessary through accidents having
occurred in that class.
Fifth: All the industries coming
under the act are placed in -17 differ
ent classifications, and each employer
should make himself familiar with
the act to the end that be may see
whether his industry is properly
classified according to the hazard of
the employment. Copies of the act
will no doubt be published in pam
phlet form for this purpose at an
early date.
Sixth: Some- discussion has been
indulged In as to whether an em
ployer would have to pay on his en
tire payroll if he employed a number
of men at work which was not haz
ardous. Let me say that this would
not make any difference, because
with, the premiums fixed for each
class, if the employer paid on the
larger number be would be that
much longer in being called upon for
another payment, but the department
will settle the question as to what
Portion of the pay roll will be taxed.
Tho Workman
First: It is a gross misdemeanor
for any employer to make or attempt
to make any deductions from the pay
of his workmen, or any of them, for
the Purposes of this act, and any at
tempt of this kind should be at once
resisted and reported to the depart
ment.
Second: Upon the occurrence of
any accident, whether fatal, serious
or minor, it should be immediately
reported to the department, also to
the employer and the nearest physi
cian, so that proper steps may be
aken to recover compensation pro
dded by section 6, which is as fol
lows; '
(!) In all cases of fatal accidents
the funeral expenses, not to exceed
75. shall be paid by the department.
(2) Death or permanent total
•Usability, $4000 to the dependants,
Paid in monthly Installments, but In
|°c discretion of the department
after investigation) can be convert
ed in whole or in part into a lump
thi" 1 ' the monthly payments under
» head can In no instance exceed
*"5 Per month.
( (3> Temporary total disability,
Ucn as broken bones, cuts, bruises
/any injury which totally incapaci
ted a person from work for a I,n,i"
d length of time, the compensation
t() the first six months, running
from the date of the injury, and pay
able at the end of each month; for
single workmen $30 per month; for
married workmen with no children
under 16 years, $37.50 per month. j
" the injured workman has a wife
or Invalid husband and one child
over 16 years, $37.69 per month. If
the Injured workman has a wife or
Invalid husband and one child under
16 years, compensation shall be 946
per month, and ii two children,
9&2.50 per month, which is the limit,
but In no case under this head shall
the workman receive more than 60
per cent of the wages he or she was
earning at the time of the injury,
the daily wage being multiplied by
26 to find the monthly earnings of
the workman. The above amounts
may not seem large to some people,
but 1 think all will agree that it is
a fair start In the right dlrecton, and
future legislatures can rented] any
defects in the present law on this
point. The host part of the- whole
scheme, to my mind, is the fact that
payments will be prompt when pay
ments are most needed, and without
those long drawn-out suits, lasting In
some Instances for years, and almost
invariably ending disastrously for
the workmen.
To the Public
The legislature appropriated $150,
--000 as the administration fund,
which 1 think every one will agree
was the proper thing to do for two
reasons: First: It makes his de
partment a state institution, thereby
giving a guarantee of safety to the
employer for the money he is com
pelled to pay Into the state treasury,
and also gives a guarantee to the
workman that his payments will be
promptly made when misfortune
overtakes him through an Industrial
accident,
Second: It is estimated that the
state and the various counties will
save through court costs, jury feesr
judges' salaries and all he her ex
penses Incidental-to the trying of
personal damage suits approximately
$.•"00,000 per year. If thai is so. then
the slat,- can well afford to pay the
administration expenses of his de
partment, and still be a winner.
Hoping that the foregoing brief
synopsis will place before the people
a clearer view of the compensation
law, yours very truly, !
PETER HENRETTY,
Secretary Compensation Com mission.

The domination of the great bus!
ness interests over politics was he
rapid growl li of about 20 years—the
consolidations of business natural'y
producing concentrations if the busi
ness world's political power in the
hands of the few controllers of th,
big railway, industrial and financial
combines. Goodrich had happened to
be acquainted with some of the most
influential of these business kings:'
they naturally made him their agem
for the conveying of their wishes
ami their bribes of one kind and an
other to the national managers of Ijoth
parties. They knew little of the de
tails of practical politics, knew only
what, they needed ia their businesses;
and as long as they got that, it did
not Interest them what was done with
the rest of the power their "campaign
contributions" gave.
With such resources any man of
good intelligence and discretion could
have got the same results as Good
rich's, lb- was simply a lackey,
Strutting and cutting a figure in his
master's clothes and under his mas
ter's name. He was pitifully vain of
his reputation as a Ma hiavelll and a
go-between, Vanity is sometimes a
source of great strength; hut vainly
of that sort and about a position In'
which secrecy Is the prime requisite,
Could mean only weakness.
Throughout his eight years of con
trol of our party it had nail posses
slon of all departments of the nation
al administration -- except of the
house of representatives during the
past two years. This meant the un
interrupted and unchecked reign of
the interests. To treat with consid
eration the interests, the strong men
of the country, they who must have
a free hand for developing its re
sources, to .give them privileges and
immunities beyond what can be per
mitted the ordinary citizen or corpo
ration—that is a course which, how
ever offensive to abstract justice, still
has, as It seems to me, a practical jus
tice in it, and at any rate, must be
pursued so long as the masses of the
votera are short-sighted, unreasoning
and in nose-rings to political ma
chines. A man's rights, whatever th*ry
may be In theory..are In practice only
what he has the Intelligence and the
power to compel. But, for the sake of
the nation, tor the holding of civil
Ization Itself, thpse over-powerful in
terests should never be given their
heads, should be restrained as closalj

sagacity nor the patriotism—nor the
force of wil). for that matte to keep
them within the limits of decency and
discretion. Hen. the riot of plunder

Probably I should have been more
leisurely In bringing my presidential
plans to a focus, had 1 not seen how
great and how near was the peril to
my party. It seemed to me not In
deed a perfect or even a satisfactory,
but the best available, Instrument for
holding the balances of order as even
as might be between our country's two
opposing elements of disorder —the
greedy plunderers and the rapidly In
furiating plundered. Aid I saw that
no time was to bo- tost, if the party
was not to be blown to fragments
The lost mutterlni 8 of the storm were
in our summary ejection from con
trol of the house In the midway elec
tion. If the party were not to be
dismembered, I must oust Goodrich^
must defeat his plans for nominating
Cromwell, must nominate Burbank in
stead. If I should succeed In eleel

upon the rank and file of the party to

An admit able summing up of Crom
well's candidacy. And I knew that
it would so appear to be- country, that
no matter how great a corruption
fund Goodrich might throw Into the
campaign^ we should, in that time of
public exasperation, be routed if Crom
well was our standard-bearer—-so ut
terly routed that we could not pos
sibly get ourselves together again for
-, perhaps 12 years. There might
-yon be a realignment of parties with
■ (me sect of socialism in control of
one of them. If control were to be
retained by the few who have the cap
ital and the Intellect to make offl
cient the nation's resources and en
ergy, my project must be put through
at once.
I had accumulated a fund of $500,
000 for my "presidential flotation"
half of it contributed by Roebuck in
exchange for a promise that his son
in-law should have an ambassadorship
if Burbank were elected; the other
half set aside by me from the "re-
serve" I had formed out of the year
by-year contributions of my combine.
By the judicious investment of that
capital 1 purposed to get Burbank the

In a national convention the dele

the west; a third from the south, it
was hopeless for us to gun for dele
rate! in the east; that was the espe
cial bailiwick of Senator Goodrich.
The most we could do there would be
to keep him occupied by quietly en
couraging any Cromwell senti
mem — and it existed a-plenty. Our
real efforts were to be In the west
and south.
1 organized under Woodruff a corps
of about 30 traveling agents. Each
man knew only bis own duties, know
nothing of the general plan, not even
that there was a general plan. Each
was a trained political worker, a per

them with ,1" necessary cash. Din-
Ing the next, five months they were in

be would have profited nothing. Had
be been able to see the importance >f
such a fact to capable political man
agement, he would have learned it
long before through years of constant
use of the easiest avenue into the
heart of the people.
He did not wake up to adequate ac
tion until the fourth of that group of
states whose delegations to our na
tional conventions were habitually
bought and sold, broke its agreement
with him and Instructed its dele
gation to vote for Burbank. By the
time he had a corps of agents In
those states. Doc. Woodruff had "ac
quired" more than a hundred el, le
gates. Goodrich was working only
through the regular machinery of the
party and was lighting against a
widespread feeling that Cromwell
shouldn't, and probably couldn't, be
elected we, on the other hand, were
manufacturing presidential sentiment
for a candidate who was already i op
ular. Nor had Goodrich much advan
tage over us with the regular ma
chin- anywhere except In the oast.

that nothing could happen to prevent
our triumph at the convention, Roe

my astonishment and sudden fury. "1

But ! did island. It Instantly
ame to me that the three had been
brought into line for Cromwell by

Roebuck, through his liking for me,

thinly disguising his orders as re
quests. 1 waited until he had talked
himself out. I waited with the same
air of calm attention until Partridge
had given me his jerky variation I
waited, still apparently calm, until the
silence must have been extremely un
comfortable for them. I waited un

"Yes,' said I, keeping all emotion
out of my face and voice. "It is set

inated. lamat a loss to account for
this outbreak. However, I shall at
once take measures to prevent its oc
curring again. Good da.'
And I was -straight to the
train. I did not pause at Fredonia
but went on to the capital. The next
morning I had the legislature and the
attorney general at work demounting

And it had never entered their swol
len heads that 1 might have taken
these precautions that are in the prim

My three mutineers pursued me to

long look tit my face, said In a broken
voice to Roebuck; "For God's sake,
don't go back on me, Mr. Roebuck.
Do what you can for me."
As the curtain dropped behind him,
I looked expectantly at Roebuck,
sweat with fright for his imperiled
millions. Probably his menial state
can be fully appreciated only by i
man who has also --it the dread of
losing his wealth upon which he is
wholly dependent for courage, respect
and self respect

"What did you Intend?" I interrupt

They looked nervously each at the

again, "why. you may go ahead — "
There burst In mo such a storm of
anger that I dared not speak until 1
could control and aim the explosion
Partridge saw how. and how serious

thrust him aside and faced me
"What's the use of healing around the

"I think you will," said I.

"And so is Roebuck."
"Oh, 1 don't mean that," was my an

I Invited them up to my sitting-room
here we smoked and talk I arnica
>ly for a couple of hours. It would
have amused the thousands of em
ployes and dependents over whom
these two lorded it arrogantly to have
heard with what care they weighed
their timid words, how nervous they
were lest they should give me fresh
provocation. As they were leaving,
Roebuck said earnestly: "Isn't there
anything I can do for you, Harvey?"
"Why, yes," said I. "Give out a
statement next Sunday In Chicago—
for the Monday morning papers In
dorsing Cromwell's candidacy, Say

He thought I was joking him, being
able to believe me so lacking in
judgment as to fail bo realize what a
profound impression in Cromwell fa
■or such a statement from the great
buck would produce. I wrote and
mailed bint an Interview with himself
tho following day; be- gave It out as
I had quested. It got me Burbanl

Save Straw With Moscow Combine
The newspapers are now author
ized to announce that the manufac
turers of tho Idaho National Har
vester have perfected a devise that
will enable the farmer to save his
straw. The plan is very simple,
consisting of nothing more than a
canvas bag that will hang from a
frame behind and under the ma- !
chine, and is, when filled, tripped
and dumped by the sack sower. This
will leave the chaff and as much of
the straw as the farmer wishes to
save in piles in the field, where It
may be gathered up later.
Much criticism has com,- from
those who have insisted that they
must save their straw, and to satisfy
these people the Idaho is to be equip
ped with a straw-saving devise.
It was found that, in some sections,
for Instance, Grass Valley, Oregon,
conditions make it absolutely neces
sary that the farmer save his straw,
and it was at th,- request of these
people that the Idaho company add
ed the attachment. It will add very
little weight to the machine, and will
in no way complicate the harvester.
If the public Insists Manager Mix
says the company will put on an up
to-date roller mill, enabling the
farmer to convert his wheat Into
flour as it comes from the field, and
under forced necessity, a bakery may

into a finished product.
The Rev. Dr. Twltchell, at the edu

'Gentlemen and ladles." He hastily
corrected himself and passed the in

dote:
A teacher asked her class If the
sentence, "The horse and the cow is
in the lot." were correct. Most of
the class thought it. all right as It
stood, but one little boy found fault.
"Now, children ," said the teacher,

ple, not yet old, and claiming the rec
ord for the largest family of children
and grandchildren in the United
States, passed through Pulman today,
en route to the Clearwater section of
Idaho to make a home. If, K. Van
derpool and his wife, Eliza, aged re
spectively 87 and 86 years, and the
parents of 86children ami 111 grand
children, attracted attention of the
passengers on Northern Pacific train
No. 881, from Spokane to Lewiston,
today.
They were but 15 and 16 years
old when they wore married at Wil
liamsburg, Ky., ami they had never
been 100 miles from home until they
started on the long journey to Idaho.
On,- year later, when the bride was
16 and the bridegroom was 17 years
old. their first child, a son, now 50
years old, having several grandchil
dren, was born. During the next 40
years 25 others were born and 17 of
these lived to be married. Death
has taken heavy toll of the family,
for only 13 are now living. The old
est son was 50 years old his last
birthday and the youngest son, who
died last year, would have been 20
this summer.
Mr. and Mrs. Vanderpool were ac
companied by their youngest living
child, a daughter, 21 years old. Of
the- children born to this union 18
were sons and eight were daughters.
Most of the living are in Kentucky
an,l Tennessee, but two sons are liv
ing near Culdesac, Idaho, and an
other son, Joe. formerly worked In
Spokane, but is now In Alberta.
Mr, Vanderpool owns 200 acres of
coal, timber and agricultural land In
Whitley county, Kentucky, where
loth wet,, born. He came west with
the intention of settling and "grow
ing up with the country" and has an
opportunity to sell his farm back
there If he is satisfied with this coun
try. Both Mr. and Mrs. Vanderpool
are well preserved. To a passenger
on the train who talked with Mr.
Vanderpool, the veteran introduced
his wife and said: "This is my wife,
