q' -v. gr 'I Friday, auqust isle THE DEMOOBATIC BANNER PAGE SEVKIt THE BASS LET DOWN For Entrance Of Liability Insurance Companies In Competition With Workmen's Compensation Fund Doubtless Previous Knowledge Of This Decision Prompted Insurance Companies' Support Of Willis As The Human Buzzards Were Kept Out By Cox Columbus, 0., Aug. 3 By decision of State Insurance Superintendent Taggart, a Wills appointee, the bars have been let down for entrance of. the liability insurance companies in competition with the state workmen's compensation fund. Foreknowledge of this decision was perhaps the influencing factor last winter when the administration abandoned its workmen's compensation program.

During the last campaign, when on the Republican side it was full of deals with sinneib as well as saints, the em-polyers' liability insurance companies sent word down the line to all their agents and ex-agents to support Frank Bartlett Willis for governor, with the statement that only if lie were elected could they hope to come into their own. They opposed James M. Cox for re-election because he had made compulsory state workmen's compensation and had driven out and kept out the human buzzards who prayed on the widows and orphans. There has been no change in the laws affecting workmen's compensation or liability insurance since Cox retired from office. Under Cox the state workmen's compensation was maintained inviolate.

The old employers' liability companies once stacked up against Cox and were utterly routed. But in a political campaign thej saw hope. Deal or no deal, promise. or no promise, they supported Willis, who was elected. Immediately on the accession of Willis to the office of governor the liability companies began writing insurance in Ohio and trying to destroy workmen's compensation, and now they have been sustained by Willis' commissioner.

Just bear in mind there has been no change in law, only a change of executives, and form your own equation. Petitions for referendum on the Spraguo gerrymander aro now being returned filled to the referendum offices in Columbus. Response has been more than pleasing in practically all sections of the state, Republicans as well as Democrats by their signatures voicing their protest at the act which would deprive President Wilson of his fair proportionate support of Ohio's congressmen. There is no disaffection among Democrats in aiding this matter, though an effort nas Deen made in a single, instance to urge a selfish at the sacrifice of tho general state and national justice and the support of the President. In many Republican localities Republicans are aiding in the circulation of petitions.

The petitions are called in for August 15. It Is believed that by that date more than the requisite total of signatures will have been secured, and then there will be left another two weeks to make up local deficiencies. The success of Governor Willis' administration is so remarkable that Victor Murdock, Progressive National Chairman, has heard of it. On this remarkable success he bases his prediction that the Republican party In 1916 won't have the ghost of a show. State Budget Commissioner K.

M. Fullington's own figures show that the last general assemly appropriated for tho coming two years $2,000,000 more than tho estimated receipts of the state. Governor Willis hurriedly explains that it won't be spent. Why no'? it's appropriated.

IV. W. Watson, of Youngstown, Is reeking a Job In tho Willis state board of agriculture because he went to Ada university and was in Willis' class.

Step right in, Watson, you've all the needful qualifications. Because of bad legislative cobbling with Important laws there Is already a dispute as to whether Ohio State Unl versity or the now board of directors of the Ohio agricultural experiment station has control or the county farm Ipg superintendents. Sure Willis knows why there is desti tutlon In the onion fields of Hardin county where waters drowned them out. It's the tariff. By Taxicab And Injured Was Charles II.

McKay The blinding rainstorm early Monday evening caused an accident at the corner of East High and Division ttieets, which would probably have resulted in the death of Charles H. McKay, East Gambler street, had not Louis E. Scarbrough been driving his taxicab at a slow rate when he struck the man. McKay was badly cut by the flying glass of the wind-shield and received a number of bruises, but none of his bones was broken. The accident occurred at about 7:30 o'clock.

Harold Ackerman, an eye witness of the accident, states that he saw a man running across High street on Division street, evidently to ebcape the heavy downpour of rain. A few seconds later Scarbrough's taxicab was seen going east on High ttieet. Then a crash came. Acker-man noticed the taxi had halted and saw a dark form lying near the machine, but supposed it was a suit case which had cairied on the radiator and had fallen off. At the suggestion of his brother, William A.

Ackerman, who was with him, an investigation -as made. The two were joined shortly by Arthur E. Hawlinson, Jr. Lying motionless beside the machine was McKay. He was conscious and asked to be taken to his home.

With the assistance of Scarbrough, Harold Ackerman lifted McKay into the machine and he was taken to his home, 400 East Gambler street. An examination by a physician showed that no hones were broken. The taxicab was badly damaged by the collision. The radiator was smabhed in and leaked, the windshield was broken and tho lamps were badly twisted, so that their light was thrown in the tops of the trees. In view of the damage to the machine and the slow speed at which Scarbrough was driving, it can well be imagined what would have been the result had the car been running at even an average bpeed.

Neither McKay nor Scarbrough saw the other on account of the heavy rain. Mr. Frank Ahem returned to Akron Tuesday. Mr. Ahem came down in his automobile truck, but did not care to undertake tho return trip on account of the roads.

HARVEST Army Corps Advance In Wheat Fields Minneapolis, Aug. 4 Tho vanguard of the harvest army has In-aded tho great wheat belt, and from all directions tho corps of recruits are arriving.

Advancing from the Bouth, keeping pace with the reapers and binders as they progress northward with the ripening of tho grain, Is the main body of men upon whom, the Minnesota farmers and railroads depend to garner tho crops of the northwest. Then there are the ho hoes, who consent to "periodical" employment, the unemplojed from tho cities, at the fag end of their finances, and hordes of rangy hojs who are out for a lark In the unknown country that beckons them. In South Dakota the harvesters arc now under full headway, and by the end of this week the reapers will be mowing down tho southern end of the great crop In Minnesota. By August 20 fully 20,000 men will be working in the Minnesota fields. All of tho old "gags" of the road were used over again this jear by the nomadic workers.

Many of tho harvest hands entrained as "railroad workmen." When they reached their destinations, instead of hiring out to the railroads, they deserted and roamed into the farm section for harvest jobs. The railroads hae been "grievously deceived" by their recruits. While this practice is not officially countenanced, and there is a show of disappolnment at the deception, it is suspected that officials know exactly what the men will do. In fact, the rules and regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission are winked at. Under the interstate law, the roads cannot ship farm laborers for less tnan the regular passenger rates, but this restriction does not apply to prospective railroad laborers.

The necessity of reaping and moving the crops on time is so great that there is small quibble over the ultimate intentions of applicants. UNCLE SAM HAS NEW EXPLOSIVE Washington, Aug. 4 According to a high ranking officer of the general staff, the United States army has a high explosive which will surprise the world if ever it is called into use. At present this new explosive Is being made only in U. S.

arsenals, where the formula is carefully guarded. It would be particularly adapted to destroying trenches, according to the army officer. The general staff has full information on the development of military science as resulting from the war in Europe. The American observers have watched the effect of the various explosives, particularly the melinite shells used by Germany. The development of trench warfare has turned the attention of the American army officers to obtaining an explosive that would demolish trenches.

That this has been found, and that it is far more effecthe than the officers had even hoped for, is the Information given out here. MONTESSORI SHOWS HER METHODS San Francisco, Aug. 4 Dr. Montes-sorl, the famous Italian educator, and founder of the celebrated "Childten's Houses" in Rome, has given up her plans to return to Italy, so that she might conduct an extensive demonstration here for American educators.
