BIRTH RATE DECREASED
by LEGlSLATION
uSrSnb rnrss InAsnp wrnp.1

Pasadena, Cal, March 22.-Support-
ing his statements by direct applica-
tion Of known biological principles, DR..
Jeremiah Rhodes, superintendent OF
schools, In an address here before the
members OF the Mems Club Of All
Saints church, declared that child la
bor legislation of itself has resulted In
a diminished birth rate, and accom-
panylng Increase In the percentage OF
children afflicted with mental disord-
ers and tuberculosis. He said.
Legislation against child labor ia
a good start, but nothing more than
a start, II we stop there the remedy
Will defeat Its own ends, and for a
simple reason, Generallzing, child
bearing can be called commercial in
stltutlon. The parents look forward
to the time when they be assisted In
providing the necessaries OF life and
rear their children until the latter can
become source of income. Take
away the right Of the children to labor
In the shops mines and on the farms,
and you remove their commercial val
ue.. This being true, parents, especial
ly Of the poorer classes, will of neces-
slty limit the size OF the family.
"And this introduces another factor
II has been well established that there
is a positive tendency for the first born
Of any parents to inherit characterls-
tic liabilities In excess Of those that
succeed him Tubercular affections
and mental yagares are now more
prevalent than ever before Through
the decreasing birth rate the popula-
tion will contain far greater percent
age Of first born, and succeeding gen
erations are made up Of the first born
OF first born, the tendency Is always
for this condition to increase. The
evil Is not abolished by mere prohibit
tive legislation"
In conclusion Dr. Rhodes said that
by preventing the school teachers mar
rying the nation loses a perpetuation
through chld-bearing, Of the highest
type Of It's citizenship.

why this rule should be departed from

that Morris has deserved the punish

Ing to prison will serve a good pur-
pose, and stand as an object lesson to
all crooked bankers. wish to say
further, however, that this whole mat
ter has been one of the rankest mis-
carriages Of justice this state has ev-
er seen. Others connected with the
affair, who we're just as guilty as Nor
ris, have been allowed to go free, and
this was largely due to the fact that
they had wealth and powerful friends
to fall back upon in their hour of need.
II ever felt the least bit of sympathy
for Morris 1t is not because | do not
think him guilty, but because of my be-
lief In even-handed Justice. say, and
| say it without fear OF contradiction,
that had Morris been as fortunately
situated, and In position to put up the
fight that was shown by some of his no
less guilty associates, he would not be
in prison today. This simply goes to
show that our criminal laws are lame
and sadly In need Of revision.

NEW ASSESSMENT PLAN.
System Gives People Chance to Place
Valuation.

: Minot.-City Assessor H. p. Wheeh
er. will use an entirely new plan in
the asc%ertaining of the valuation of
city property for taxation next year.
The details Of the new plan are being
worked out now and the models used
are those already in use in st. Paul.
Chicago, Cleveland, Houston and 9TH
er large cities.
Heretofore the work. of valuation
has been left almost entirely to the
city assessor. The new plan will
entirely eliminate this feature. In
stead of going from house to house
the advanced system calls for district
meetings to which all property hold
ers are invited. At these meetings
the valuations of property are thor
oughly discussed and this makes it
possible to secure an equitable basis
for the taxation. This is only one
of the many good features Of the
plan and the city assessor believes
that the entire system will meet with
the approval Of the taxpayers. 1t will
at least be A big Improvement Oh the
