Suggestion for Establishment of Bureau to Take Place in Automobile Accidents of the Workmen‘s Compensation Board in Industrial Field. Official Stand Taken by New Year The Advance has repeatedly referâ€" red to the matter of compulsory comâ€" pensation insurance for automobiles. Such a plan would be a protection for motorists and the public alike. With every car required to carry compensaâ€" tiion ¢gnsurance, many instances of hardship and injustice now arising from automobile accidents would be removed. At the present time the man who has nothing but an auto, and that perhaps not paid for, has the other automobilists and the genâ€" eral public at a great disadvantage. In these columns and in other newsâ€" papers of this North,â€"notably, The New Liskeard Speaker,â€"the question has been debated. A New York offiâ€" cial puts a new side to the question. This official is the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles for New York State who suggests the probability that the coming years will find Governments establishing compensation boards for the victims of traffic accidents,â€"burâ€" eaus to take a place in the automoâ€" tive world similar to that filled by the problem with which the State has no concern. The menace to the life and health of the inhabitants of the State is so great that it endangers every perâ€" son who is compelled to use the public highways, and justifies the State in taking action to protect the life and wellâ€"being of its citizens. The situaâ€" tion is so serious and the peril so great that compulsory and fundaâ€" mental measures are required, which will apply to every automobile owner and operator, which will protect and compensate every victim. "*There is a vast difference between compensation insurance and liability insurance.

The Motor Vehiâ€" cle Bureaun of New York State regisâ€" tered in 1927 very close to 2,000,000 motor cars for all sorts of passenger and commercial use, an increase of more than 150,000 over the previous year. u.lucu, U\llpplcu UL â€" UCAU _V IUVUIILLi). ‘*In some of these cases the injured is to blame; in some, the motorist ; in others, both are to blame in varying degrees.

Competent authority has said that threeâ€"fourths of all civil jury trials in the United States are concerned THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ‘*The verdict in most cases depen‘ds upon who secured the best or the most witnesses, who has the best lawâ€" yer, the personal prejudices of the jurors, the soâ€"called breaks of the trial, and not at all upon the scientiâ€" fic ascertainment of which was negliâ€" gent. The same element of lottery applies to the amount of damages. There is no xule for a uniform assessâ€" ment of damages except the whim or caprice of the jury. _ Establishing negligence of the operator of a motor vehicle is an extremely difficult task, and is made more difficult by the alâ€" most uniform reluctance of the public to testify as witnesses. ©The special committee appointed by Justice Dowling, presiding Justice of the Appellate Dwmon of the Suâ€" preme Court of New York, reports that 70 per cent. of the cases on the calendax involve claims for personal injuries resulting from the operation of motor vehicles. The personal inâ€" jury suit is too frequently no remedy at all. Not only must the injuxed plaintiff prove the negligence of the defendant by a preponderance of the evidence, but if he were guilty in the slightest degree of contributory negliâ€" gence he is completely barred from recovery. ‘*Even though the cause of the plaintiff may have exceptional merit, it seems safe to say that he must outâ€" live a period of delay of from three to three and half years because of the crowded conditions of our court calenâ€" dars; but the most serious and freâ€" quent case illustrating the futility of the personal injury suit is whexre the automobile owner has neither insurâ€" ance nor property subject to execuâ€" tion. with personal injury claims largely arising from automobile accidents. ‘*More than 60 per cent. of the new automobiles are said to be sold on time payments. In these cases the owners frequently own but a seant "If this is the case, why is it not perfectly sound to require every motor vehicle owner to procure a policy of compensation insurance as a condiâ€" tion precedent to obtaining a license to operate a motor vechicle on the public highway, and to pay a _ premium . for _ such _ policy to an insurance fund under the superâ€" vision of the State, or an approved policy issued by an insurance company to be used to compensate the victims of accidents arising from the operaâ€" tion of automobiles according to fixed schedules and without regard to fault. equity in a mortgaged car. In this connection it may be surprising to know that only 16 to 20 per cent,. of all automobiles in operation are coverâ€" ed by liability n‘nsurtmce Thus soâ€" ciety has the least protection from the class of motorists against whom it needs the most protection. ‘*‘The inadequacy of the personal injury suit for the protection of the workmen injured in their line of duty brought about the establishment of the ‘Workmen‘s _ Compensation.‘ There is no sound reason why the proâ€" blems of compulsory compensation inâ€" surance, which have been so successâ€" fully applied with respect to industriâ€" al accidents, cannot be applied with equal suceess to cases of injury and death arising from automobile acciâ€" dents. *By fixed schedules I mean definite sums in death cases graded in accordâ€" ance with the age, earning capacity and other vital conditions as applied to the victim of the accident. Per diem allowances during periods of disability could also be arranged unâ€" der this plan with little trouble. The important and perhaps one of the most valuable phases of a plan of this kind would be a provision whereby the victim of an accident, or his deâ€" pendents, could, have immediate finâ€" ancial relief instead of long delay in the courts. **Basing my calculations on neaxrly 2,000,000 motor vehicles registered in 1927, the number of fatalities and the number of personal injury cases ocâ€" curring during the same period a proâ€" mium charge of $28.83 per vehicle would establish a fund of $55,000,000, and provide sufficient funds for the payment of $15,000 in each death case and $500 in each case of personal inâ€" jury. If, under such a plan, a Comâ€" pensation Insurance Bureau were established along the same lines as the present Workmen‘s Compensation Bureau, a liberal portion of such fund would still remain for administrative charges. "It is safe to assume that the averâ€" age payment in relief of personal inâ€" jury cases will be much less than $500. I am making no attempt to deâ€" tail every individual activity necesâ€" sary to the establishment oxy functions of such a bureau, but merely offering my conviction that compulsory comâ€" pensation insurance is sound proâ€" posal in dealing with the problem of furnishing relief. to the injyured and the dependents of those killed.
