Emmerson, secretary of state, who is secretary of the tribunal under the law. . The prevailing idea of deyp ments heads was that the state, in \enâ€" gaging an employe, does not assume the responsibilty of protecting (the employe‘s personal property. The state does not insure its own property so why should it insure the property of its employes, one department head said. > An employe at the Dunning tal asked the state to reimburse him |for $70 concealed in his mattress w was :destroyed by flames. â€" Another listed a piano which he valued at in his claim for damages. Ano asked $50 for a microscope in the blaze. The policy that .employes w lose personal efle? in firesâ€"at the state institutions shall not be nâ€" bursed from the state treasury is exâ€" pected to be laid down by the state court of claims, which began its tember term in Springfield last wéek. It is estimated that the people of the United States ‘have given . than two billion dollars for relief work since the beginning of ithe world war in 1914. tiof .

A Would Boost Taxes _ *‘The taxes citizens would pay," he dechred,“wouldrunuhighuwpo’r cent in many agricultural counties of the‘states of the Union. This estiâ€" mate he confined strictly to the conâ€" spicuously agricultural areas, for he accompanied it with the statement that in industrial areas government ownership and management of nfili_â€" tiu__n_xiight not run that high. "When we recall the appailling loss and the difficulty in the management of $3,500,000,000 worth of ships, we should undoubtedly hesitate about taking on ten times that value in public utilities," he said. "If the people lose control of the arteries of trade and the natural reâ€" sources of the mechanical power, the nationalization of all industry could soon be expected. Domination by Factions "With railways and electrical utilâ€" ities under political control, the domâ€" ination of a group would be so firmâ€" ly entrenched in the whole direction of our government that the privilege of citizenship for the rest of the peoâ€" ple would consist largely in the payâ€" ment of taxes." The President pointed out the fact that government commissions have set the value of theâ€"railroads and certain other public utilities at $35,000,000,â€" 000 and they have about 2,750,000 employees. > The strain on our ecoâ€" nomic system which would be imposed by government administration of such resources and such numbers was, he said, obvious, and he added: â€" . \Owned by Millions f President Coolidge in Address Explains Why Theory Can Not Work Out ; Cause â€" ~ _ Group Rule : PLAN ; IS . IMPRACTICABLE ‘"These utilities are no longer in the hands of a few, directly or indiâ€" rectly. They are owned by many milâ€" lions of our inhabitants. â€"It would mean a loss in public revenue estimatâ€" ed at $600,000,000 a year." : The whole undertaking, he estiâ€" mated, would mean about $1,750,000,â€" 000 annually.in bond interest, and an operating budget estimated at about $9,000,000,000. » URGE UNIFORM FOR ALL LA W OFFICERS Announcement was made today that the Chicago Motor club has endorsed the policy adopted by the American Automobile association, calling atâ€" tention to the necessity for having all police officers and sheriffs designated by uniform or badge and of warning motorists of the hazards involved in tolerating the placing of firearms in the hands of irresponsible men with authority to detain drivers for inâ€" consequential infractions â€" of â€" the motor vehicle laws, MOTOR CLUBS TELL WHY Drivers When Halted by Men in Plain Clothes Often Fear . Holdup; Recent Fatalâ€" ‘ity Example This action is said to be the result of a recent Illinois fatality which reâ€" sulted from the shooting of an autoâ€" mobile driver who failed to stop when held jup by the assistant superinâ€" tendent of mails at Peoria who wore no official uniform or badge visible to the motorist. 4 The matter has attracted the atâ€"| tention of motorists ~throughout ‘the country and it is believed that organâ€" ized car owners will welcome the action taken by the legislative board of the A. A. A. in seeking the coâ€" operation of motor vehicle departâ€" ments in forestalling similar fataliâ€" ties, | > The motorist in the case referred to gave every evidence of having preâ€" sumed that he was being held up by a highwayman when the postal ofiâ€" cial overstepped his authority by shooting at the tires when the driver failed to stop. "Every sane motorist wants . law Benbteaneat” declares Charles ayes, president of the club, “bu%md: ‘enforcement must be above board to be effectiveâ€"and safe. We cannot afford to tolerate unsafe law enforcement at this stage of metoring, and the ‘special‘ officer must be shown that he cannot get away with manslaughter under guise of the law." * .
