HARVEST HAND PROBLEMS

why do not Kansas papers STOP
advertising that we want laborers
in Kansas in May and stop the flood
OF harvesters?" asked an Abilene
merchant of the Reflector today.
1T does the state harm instead of
good" The Kansas papers are not
to be blamed for the influx of men.
II is, in the first place, impossible
to prevent the news that the state
Is going to have a wheat crop. Over
eight million acres are growing and
the condition is of worldwide inter-
est. And 1t is also true that some
counties need helpers. There are
counties with two or three times
the wheat acreage of Dickinson that
have less than half our population.
Depending on the local labor would
mean the loss Of half the crop,
meaning perhaps a million dollars. /
The wrong is in getting the men
here too soon and this is due not to
Kansas papers, for they tell when
harvest is expected, but to eastern
employment agencies that make
money off the laborers and some
times mislead them. Then eastern
cities are eager to get rid of idle
men and in year like this, when
labor is largely unemployed, the
authorities push them out early
toward Kansas, telling them to come
here and get SO to IS a day-which
hey do not and cannot at any time.
The fault lies with the eastern pa
'ers, authorities and agencies and
here seems no way for Kansas to :
top It. The state employment agency /
las tried It and has scattered the J
orrect information widely but with {
ut effect. This. year the harvest

The Hutchinson News objects tc
official state estimates of crops in
advance and says that the agricul-

ty is away too high. 1t complains
that by giving out high estimates
the price Of wheat is lowered and
then later the facts do not bear out
the estimates and the farmers who
have to sell lose money. Dickinson's
crop is placed at IA bushels but
many farmers say 1t is too high, con-
sidering the entire acreage.

THE "GRANDFATHER cIAUsEv

The supreme court Of the United
States, in declaring that "the grand
father clause" in certain state con-
situations and state laws is uncon-
stitutional, strikes a deserved blow
ct the policy and performance of
Democratic legislation. The purpose
OF this legislation on the part Of
Democratic states has been to dis
franchise negroes without disfran-
chising whites no more qualified to
vote. This the supreme court de-
cides cannot be. 1t is class legisla-
ton and was SO intended. It's poll
teal aim was to make states solidly
Democratic and to make the south
solid" with the solidity of subju-
cation. 1t was a clear attempt 20
evade and nullify the constitution
Of the United States by fixing quail
fications for voting which prevailed +,
before the ratification of the fit |
teenth amendment. There has never
been any attempt to put such q
clause into the organic law of any
Republican state; 1t has been adopt
I'd only in states which under un-
'estricted free suffrage might go
Republican. The decision is a vigor-
'us denunciation Of Democratic
Methods by a court in which both ,
