Member of the State Tax commission held a session with the attorney general today to consider providing ways and means for the creation of a tax commis sion under the present restrictive laws. The special commission says it does not want to perpetuate Itself in office as all of the members are engaged In work which they will not rive up, but they are anxious to see a commission created which will administer state revenue laws from a more centralised point than is now possible. The way apparently lies open, they con cluded after their visit to the attorney general, through reposing the duties In some of the executive officers as named by the constitution and then through the creation of an under board of secre taries. It would make for efficiency, the com mission says, to have members of this board chosen in a nonpartisan way and to have one of the three members ap pointed every two years, to hold six-year terms. Were that plan followed the first appointment of three members would be for two, four and six years, respectively. Twelve Vacant Chain. Twelve chairs remain unselected In the house and six in the senate. The late comers w-Ul have a chance either to sit on the front row or roost out on the end seats, for nothing else Is left. I,e Work oa Brooms. The work of making the complete brooms at the state penitentiary will not be continued any more. The Lee com pany, which has had the broom' con tract for several years, will only use the convicts for making certain parts of the broom, the finished product being com pleted at their Lincoln factory. Only about fifty men can be used from now on. What prisoners are UBed will be in the chair factory and In the necessary work outside and Inside the prison. The work of pulling down the old b'lildtng will be begun as soon as the broom ma chinery is out, and the other building used as a broom factory will be remod eled, i Rate Case Pat Ovex. The hearing in the oil cases, which were to have coma up before the railway com mission tomorrow, has been postponed until January 6. The complaint was inade by the National Petroleum associa tion against the Santa Fe Railway com pany and involved changes in rates. ' Ifews Notes from Falrtiurr. FAIRBURY Neb., Nov. 20. (Special.)

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 30. (Special.) ftate Insurance Commissioner L. O. Ttrlan has prepared a brief statement of the con tents of the workman's compensation law In simplified form, so that when the law goes into effect ten days after the official canvass by the board, the public may have some conception of what It means. Mr. Brian's statement Is as fol lows: "The workman's compensation law, passed in the 1913 legislature, having been suspended from operation owing to a referendum petition being filed with the secretary of state, asking that the law be referred to the voters at the general election in November, 1914, and as the un official tabulation evidences the adoption of said law, I believe it of Interest to the public to givo a digest of the most Important features of the act. "The law. will be In force and effect within ten days from the 23d day of November, at which time the vote Is of ficially canvassed by the state election board. The law will apply to every employer In this state employing five or more em ployes, except those employing household domestic servants, farm laborers and railroad companies doing interstate com merce, who ire subject to congress and not within the provisions of this law. "Part I Is so framed as to penal y re both the employer and the employe If they do not elect to come within the provisions of Part IL Application of Law. "Part II Tvery employer (other than those exempted) automatically comes within the provisions of the workman's compensation law and will bo governed by its provisions unless the employer posts, and thereafter keeps posted, In a conspicuous place or places where his workmen are employed, a written or printed notice of his election not to be bound by Part II, and he must file a duplicate of such posted notice with the Insurance commissioner, and unless every employe gives a written or printed notice to his employer of his refusal to be bound by Part II and files a duplicate proof of the service of such notice with the In surance commissioner, he will automatic ally come within the provisions of the law, and be governed by its provisions. "If an employer has given notice not to accept the provisions of part II he may later waive such notice by posting In a conspicuous place a written or printed notice of withdrawal and file a dupl'cato notice with the insurance commissioner. "If an employe has given notice not to accept the provisions of part II, he mttyJ later waive suoh' notice by a notice In writing directed to the employer and serve same upon his employer or his agent, and file a duplicate with the in surance commissioner. The waiver will not be effective until noon of the fifth day after filing the required notice with the insurance commissioner.' Contractors and Sotooatractap-s. "The owner is not responsible where a contract Is let to a contractor or a con tractor Is not responsible where a con tract Is let to a subcontractor If all done In good faith, provided the owner re quires the contractor to procure a policy accord: ng to this act No compensation will be allowed for the first fourteen days after disability - begins unless such dis ability continues for eight weeks or longer. During the first twenty-one days after the disability begins the employer Is l.'ablo for a reasonable medical and hospital service not to exceed (200. "For the first 800 weeks 60 per centum of the wages received at the time of In Jury, and the maximum amount received shall not exced 110, and the minimum amount received shall not be less than S3 per week. Provided, that after the first 300 weeks of total permanent disability the employe shall receive 40 per ceutum of the wages received at the time of ac cident, but not more than IS per week, or less than S4 per week. Benefits (or specific Iajary. "Shall be 60 per centum of the wages received at the time of the Injury for the periods as follows: For the loss of hand, payments for 175 weeks. For the loss of arm, payments for 215 weeks. For loss -of foot, payments for 160 weeks. For the loss of leg, payments for 215 weeks. For loss of eye. payments for 125 weeks.

For the loss of both hands, arms, feet, legs or eyes the same benefits will be paid as for the total permanent disability. Death Beaeflta. "In case of Injuries resulting In death the dependent shall receive 60 per centum of the wages received for a period of 360 weeks, and for an amount of not more that 110 or less than fC per week, and In addition, burial and sick expenses not to exceed $100. "If the employe la Injured by reason of wilful negligence or by reason of being Intoxicated, no benefits will be paid. "If the employe Is employed by two or more employers, the benefits will be pay able In proportion to the wages paid by each employer, unless a contract is maJe between themselves of the burden of the compensation to be paid. "No other Insurance held by an em ploye will detract from the compensation under this act. "No agreement by an employe to waive his rights will be valid. "Notice must be served upon the em ployer or his agent as soon as practicable after the happening of an accident, and a claim for the compensation must be made within six months to be valid.
