court Of three federal judges has de-
clared unconstitutional the referendum
law. of Arizona, adopted last fall, and
which provides that no employer hav-
ing five or more workers can employ
more than 20 per cent aliens.
The court held this decision Of the
people was in violation Of the four
teenth amendment of the United States

state shall deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property without the due
process; Of daw, nor deny to any per-

anteed to him by. the fourteenth
amendment of the United States Con-
stitution.
Eff, under guise of police regulation
a state can prohibit an employer from
employing more than 20 per cent of

Health Association Eager to Get
Appropriation for Fight
Against Tuberculosis.

Every man and woman in Minnesota
mas an immediate opportunity to help
lower the death rate in this state and
to preserve it from impoverishment
and degeneration from tuberculosis.
All that is needed is to write. a short
message to your senators and repre-
sentatives in Minnesota legislature
asking that they take favorable action
on the $75O,000, appropriation which
the health agencies of the state say
must be- made if Minnesota is to be
rid of tuberculosis, and if the $500
deaths annually from this disease are
to be- prevented.
How Money Is Spent.
Two years ago 100000 was. appro-
prlated for anti-tuberculosis work.
This will have been used up by August
1st, when the new appropriation should
be available. OF this sum 100000 has
been spent to aid the county institu-
lions, and 100000 to help counties
which are already operating sanatoria.
The appropriation wanted this year
is not materially larger than two years
ago, but the increase of $25O,OO0 will
mean the saving of hundreds Of men,
women and children from infection
and untimely death during the coming
years.
What Minnesota Needs.
What Minnesota needs and must
have is a local sanatorium accessible
to the residents of every county in the
state, where tuberculosis patients may
be isolated, cured. and prevented from
injecting others, and will still be with
in visiting distance of their families
and friends.
There is nothing more urgent to be
done for the good of this state right
now, than to make the 1915 legislature
see the necessity and wisdom and
economy of giving the state advisory
board In charge of fighting tubercu-
losis, the proper money to do it with
We ask our readers to be public spirit
ed and to write to our legislators from
this district, on the subject and show
that we are interested in the health
of our people, and that we expect them
to do the right thing when this meas
ure comes up.
