The C M Lane case settled in
district court Friday lends
emphasis to the need of the city
to carry compensation insurance
on city employes Lane's case car-
ried into court in a friendly suit
was settled with payment by the
city of $669750 to the power line
worker who was injured on a hot
wire
For more than a' year now the
city has carried insurance It
costs the city $151353 annually
But for an eight-year period the
city did not carry the insurance
Line's accident occurred during
that period It happens that the
city has "saved" enough during
the eight-year period in which it
carried no insurance to take care
of the Lane adjustment But sup-
pose the city had had several in-
juries? A boiler blast or some
such mishap would have embar-
rassed the city no end
The Lane damages probably will
be paid in lump sum although the
city is allowed to make such pay-
ments in three installments pay-
ing 6 per cent interest By paying
in lump sum the city can buy up
the amount as a sinking fund in-
vestment pay the 6 per cent to
itself
In the future city accidents will
be a matter between the insurance
adjuster and the injured man

IS SHOT AT WILLKIE

Philadelphia Pa Sept 20—(LP)
—President Roosevelt Frida51
warned business against succumb-
ing to promises of better times un-
der "government by the few" and
designated New Deal reformers as
the safeguard of our economic
democracy
Control of government by per-
sons supposed to be above the av-
erage because of business ability
or economic omniscience would
jeopardize freedom and even
threat Ja free elections he said in
a vigorous declaration that no dic-
tator every dared the hazards of
free men and their ballots
Gets a Degree
Friday's occasion was accep-
tance of a doctorate of law during
observance of the Pennsylvania
universitd? bicentennial
He raised the battle of flags of
legislative conflict during his first
two administrations to cite the
engagement which had produced
laws regulating finance agricul-
ture labor and industry
Holding Nazism before his hear-
ers as the terrifying example of
what could follow abandonment of
the free princiPles of democracy
he said New Deal reform was
their safeguard
"These are the means" he said
"which our own generation have
adopted to overcome the threats to
economic democracy in our land—
threats which in othe rlands led
quickly to political despotism"
Non-Political Eh?
The address was nationally
broadcast It was held to be non-
political by the radio chains and
the White House and therefore
was broadcast free but there were
passages which seemed aimed at
Wendell Winkle
"On candidates and election is-
sues" Mr Roosevelt said "I would
rather trust the aggregate judg-
ment of all the people in a fac-
tory the president all the vice-
presidents the board of directors
the managers the foreman plus
all the laborers rather than the
judgment of the few men who
may be financially interested
''Only too often in our political
history the few at the top have
tried to advise or dictate to the
many lower down how they should
vote"

Will Give In
It was said Tokyo felt certain
the French would give in but that
In any event Japan would take the
first step toward expansion in the
South Pacific
In such development both Indo-
China and the Netherlands East
Indies have a major role The
program may stir repercussions
in the United States
Suggestions circulated in Tokyo
that American embargoes may be
placed against Japan if she goes
through with the program Jap-
anese residents of French Indo-
China were being evacuated
The Battle of Britain had be-
come a daylight clash of masses
of German and British planes
The weather was good and from
the English channel by mid-day
more than 200 raiders had crossed
to Britain British planes sweeped
down time and again to drive the
Nazis back toward the sea
The British struck back at Ger-
many smashing against the chan-
nel "invasion" ports and making
excursions into southern and
western Germany -
The German press continued to
clamor for devastating retaliation
for the British bombs which fell
on a children's institution this
week I
Some Reason
The German propaganda min-
istry took correspondents to see
the damage where eight children
were reported killed
Possible light on the bombing
was thrown by the report ol
residents that the British hat
raided the community no less than
flay times since start of the war
Although the propaganda min-
istry said there were no military
objectives within miles the report
of fifty raids indicated the R A
F had some reason to suppose
there was something worth hit-
ting -
Testifying before a congres-
sional committee Phillips empha-
sized "no one thing" has caused
the nation's floating population
and "no one thing" would elim-
Mate it
In his testimony which was sup-
plemented by a thirty-page re-
port Phillips centered his attack
on "discriminatory" freight rates
as one of the state's economic
problems and a contributing fac-
tor to migrancy
Digressing occasionally the gov-
ernor also criticized the federal
flood control program and tax
free Indian lands
Phillips told the committee the
government's "policy of building
dams like the one down on Red
river instead of out in the arid
parts of the west where the floods
start" would not aid that part of
Oklahoma most needing water
