when the particular situation of employment combines these characteristics, so that the economic facts of the relation make it more nearly one of employment than of independent business enterprise with respect to the ends sought to be accomplished by the legislation, those characteristics may outweigh technical legal classification for purposes unrelated to the statute's objectives and bring the relation within its protections.

This word "is from the French, but has become somewhat naturalized in our language. Strictly and etymologically, It means la person employed,' but, in practice in the French language, it ordinarily is used to signify a person in seme official employment, and as generally used with us, though perhaps not confined to any ofBcial employment, it is understood to mean some permanent employment or position." The word is more extensive than "clerk" or "officer." It signifies any one in place, or having charge or using a function, as well as one in office. See Ritter v. State, 111 Ind. 324, 12 N.
