LABOR OFFICIAL DISCUSSES
CHILD LABOR PROBLEM
Continued from Page II

Continued from Page u
agine brutal taskmaster hosting the
infant in a basket to a ceiling in an
overheated, poorly ventilated tene-
ment living and workroom small in
size, the child permitted to sleep for
ten minutes and then lowered again
to the workable, water thrown into
its face to revive it so it may resume
labor or, that failing, the child whip
ped to compel it to return to its task.
These instances are not overdrawn,
nor are they rare. Thousands of cases
equally degrading and destructive of
life exist in our industries. What is
everybodys business is nobody's bust
ness, and so long as it is not your
baby or mine, so long as your boy or
my girl are free from these atrocities,
we care not for the wrongs inflicted
upon others children. Yet, before the
throne of God, | verify believe you
and l must ultimately answer for our
Indifference. Mans inhumanity to
man makes countless thousands
mourn, but mans brutalities toward
childhood dwarf all the fiendishness
of either ancient or modern war
REGULATING CHILD LABOR
Child labor lessons the chance of
successful life, weakens their bodies
and stunts their minds; fails to train
them for citizenship; makes them in
efficient; cheats them of childhood
and reacts upon all. A national law
should be established prohibiting chill
dren being employed in factories un-
der IA, or under 16 more than eight
hours a day, or under 16 at night. or
in mines under 16 at any time Every
state but two has one or more of these
standards. Nine states have them all.
Ages and hours of newsboys have been
regulated by law in twenty states.
Street work should be prohibited in
every state to children under IS. Spe-
cial age limits must be established
for dangerous trades. Hours of min
ors must be regulated in all kinds
of work. The morally hazardous night
messenger service is closed to boys
under p in nine states. This should
be done throughout the country All
children should attend school until Is
years old and until definite educa-
tional standards have been met In
dustrial and technical training must
be promoted. One city in Germany,
that country of marvellous efficiency
in both peace and war, has more trade
schools than all America A United
States senator has said: Congress
will pass a federal child labor law if
the people will insist upon it, beg
of you, in the name of oppressed mil
lions Of children in industry, to write
to members of Congress and urge
them to pass such a law Do this as
your part as you would rush to the
defense of your own offspring

The prospect of change in the date
 of the annual property assessment is Icausing considerable discussion among the business men, most of whom would
 be undoubtedly much harder hit in the
 event of the date being fixed at later period. The majority seem to look upon the matter with a spirit of fairness, however, and concede that the methods
 of the past have been far from equit- able and the burden of taxation has been thrown largely where it does not exactly belong. Some of the merchants
 are so fair minded as to openly concede
 that the assessments on merchandise |stocks have been ridicufously low and express themselves as willing to stand for an increase. The general expres- sion is "tax every one on an equal scale, and in accordance with fair valua- ton, and the tax will be little resented
