The Washington plan i3 also being considered, which contemplates state insurance. Under this plan the state be comes an insurance company and the employer and employeo pay their pre miums to the stato to make up the fund from which claims are paid. Under the proposed law, the employer is directly liableto the injured workman for a percentage of his earnings, with out recourse. The Nebraska bill pro vides for G5 per cent of the earnings, P. Tecumsoh Sherman and other experts declare this to be too high and lecom mend 50 per cent, which is the rate in the lSnglish law. The argument offered against the in surance plan is that all manufacturers und employers of labor must pay their proportion of money into tho fund, and help pay tho claims of other manufac turers even though they may have no accidents in their own places. 'The bill is not yet in its finnl draft. when INSURANCE Always the best and cheapest written by Bratt & Goodman. Congressman Moses P. Kinkaid's plurality overW. J.
