GIVENS, C. J.
On October 22, 1928, Bruno Pahlke allegedly received a compensable injury while working indirectly for the Atlas Tie Company. A claim for compensation was made a day or so after the injury, he was examined by a physician and upon his advice was hospitalized in Spokane where he died on November 2, 1928, leaving no dependents. March 24, 1932, respondent, State of Idaho, filed a claim' with the Industrial Accident Board for the non-dependent award of $1,000 provided for in I. C. A., sec. 43-1101, subdivision 6. At a hearing of the Board, respondent was awarded $1,000 and on appeal to the district court the award was affirmed.
Appellant urged that since no claim was filed by the State within a year it cannot recover. Respondent takes the position that it never had to file a claim and even if it did that the $1,000 provided for in subdivision 6 of I. C. A., sec. 43-1101,1 is not a claim for compensation and therefore does not fall within the one year requirement of I. C. A., sec. 43-1202.2 While it is true that in a sense it is not eompensa*341tion such as is paid to an injured employee or his heirs or representatives, that does not altogether answer the question because it is a question of legislative intent, and if as to the necessity of filing a claim within a year, the legislature intended this $1,000 to be classed as compensation the claim must be so filed. If respondent’s contention were to be taken at its full face value the $1,000 would have to be paid to the State irrespective of whether the accident arose out of and in the course of the employment, because I. C. A., sec. 43-1001,3 classes all payments under the act as payments of compensation. (Federal Mut. Liability Ins. Co. v. Locke, 56 Fed. (2d) 1052, at 1054.) Yet not only does no one contend for such a construction but such would clearly be contrary to the express and evident purpose of the act. There is no reason to believe that the legislature intended to place greater restrictions upon an injured employee’s dependents as to the time within which they should file a claim and the proof required of them than upon the State, the necessities of the dependents obviously being greater than the need of the State for the $1,000. The year requirement for the filing of the claim has been declared a positive deadline as to dependents and this relatively short time as compared to other general statutes of limitations must have been declared in a large part at least with the idea that only within such time could adequate proof be made that the accident arose out of and in the course of the employment. The claim was not filed in time, which obviates the necessity of discussing any of the other points raised by appellant.
As to the point that chapter 147, 1935 Session Laws, amending sec. 43-1101, supra, indefinitely extends the time, this court has laid down the rule that unless the legis*342lature in its enactments uses expressions clearly indicative of the intent that the statute be given retrospective effect, it will not be so construed. (McCoy v. Krengel, 52 Ida. 626, 17 Pac. (2d) 547; Lawrence v. Defenbach, 23 Ida. 78, 128 Pac. 81; Peavy v. McCombs, 26 Ida. 143, 140 Pac. 965; Bellevue State Bank v. Lilya, 35 Ida. 270, 205 Pac. 893; Cook v. Massey, 38 Ida. 264, 220 Pac. 1088, 35 A. L. R. 200; Nampa & Meridian Irr. Dist. v. Barker, 38 Ida. 529, 223 Pac. 529.) Nothing in the 1935 statutes indicates such intention; therefore whether such amendment does extend the time or applies as a procedural amendment we do not consider.
Judgment reversed with directions to the district court to remand to the Industrial Accident Board with instructions to disallow respondent’s claim. No costs allowed.
