He should | he given every opportunity to establish his case | against the benefits under the compensation act and | the system of administering relief that obtains in | 4 the bureau. Enough can be gleaned from his remarks to con- vince even a layman unaccustomened to the vocab- | ulary of the bureau that there is need for a! thorough revamping of the schedule of specific benefits. Legislators might even go a step farther | and examine into the qualificatizns of some of the members on the commission to serve fairly both the interests of labcr and capital. Mr. Wenzel has made a careful study of his case. He has shcwn by specific figures and instances the inherent weakness of the whole workmen’s compen- sation act as now administered. + It is not necessary to reiterate here the facts marshaled by Mr. Wenzel. mpon the witness stand to substantiate his conten- tions and to throw wide open the whole matter of dureau administration. Both labor and the employer are vitally interested in the management of the bureat and the schedule of benefits. Comparisions made with schedules Obtaining in other states should be most convins- ing to any one who takes the time to read the figures arrayed by Mr. Wenzel. The nub of the situation is summed up in ‘this paragraph: ‘ “What else does it mean? It means that * excess of zeal on the part of certain propa- gandists placed upon the people of this state “in a time of strong political stress, a burden * that the natural experience of another 25 * years cannct hope to cope with, and it is », doubtful if we should arrive at a point where there would be sufficient coverage to handle . such a schedule in 50 years.” # This session should go to work upon the adjust- ; 4 ment of the benefit schedule. Opportunity to fix "q temporary benefits through favoritism to either ry loyer or employe shculd be prevented. There ¥ are several discrepancies in the fixing of temporary ¢ félief which work a hardship upon employer and | employe alike. = The bureau is supposed to have a representative 6f the people, of labor and cf the employer. Theoret- ically the scheme of crganization may be ideal but it does not work out that way. There have been imstances where labor has been given anything but Feasonable relief and other cases where relief has 1 «) sl 18) x i heen excessive. The bureau has been organized just long enough to invite a searching investigation Gf its operations and Mr. Wenzel is doing the state a real service in demanding cne on the part of this atasion. ya If the bureau is permitted to plod along as now |) Creanized, some day will witness a total collapse k of the whole structure and many employers will 4 tind that they have been paying excessive rates for bogus protection. | : The Army Air Service ‘Major General Mason H.
