THE CHILD LABOR LAW.

The Palmer bill, which has been
approved by the national house of

with yeNed question The lack Of
uniform state laws on-the subject has
always been "a difficulty In the rcgula
tiou " child labor just as such lack
has been found to be Il difficulty In
the solution Of many other questions.
In the report ~ the committee

Dor have pointed ont that legislation
state by state is unfair. because Il
asks them TO compete with states
which have set up different stand.
ards As products of mill. mine and
factory seek market everywhere,
being by no means restricted tu the
consumption Of the state IN which
they are produced, this Is perfectly
valid contention. Manufacturing and
producing conditions should be as
nearly equal in all states Ms It ls pos.
.ihle to make them.
The United tSates can not enact
such laws for the several states, but
II can prescribe conditions Of inter
state commerce, and thus effectually
exercise pressure I'm the direction ~
uniformity. It Is with this ideu In
view that the proposed law forbds
the shipping from one state to another

THE ALIEN LAND LAW.

Frank Putnam says In the National
Magazine, writing on the subject OF
the alien land law:
First: That the governments OF
the United States aud japan acted
wisely In adopting the agreement to
limit immigration from Japan into
this country. The limitation will
prevent more coming than can be alb
sorbed into our industrial life. The
workers OF the United states would
be- benefited II similar agreements
were made with the governments OF
other countries from which we re.
celye each year large numbers OF im-
migrants
Second That the alien land law
OF California was nm economic blum.
der as well AZ violation uf treaty
obligations. This law, forbiddlnE
the 10000 to $4,000 japanese men
residents In California TO buy land
or TO lease land for more than three
years, condemns them to Join the large
army Of Americans who are landlsss
/ and homeless
II condemns them to be either wage
earners or land renters, competing
against American wage earners and
land renters for employment by the
owners of CALIFORNIA; lands and iu-
dustries Most Of these japanese men
would, II permitted, buy small tracts
OF farm or garden land and make Del.
manent homes thereon. They would
In this way cease to compete against
American wage earners In the labor

The alien land law benefits only

benefit the rich by sharpening comps-
tition among the poor for employment
