SCHOOL CODE TO
HELP CHILDREN
CHILD LABOR COMMITTEE
INDORSES PLAN.
County Unit System and Other Fea-
lures of Code Will Keep Children
From Beet Fields in School.

The school code ready for intro
duction in the Colorado legislature is
heartily indorsed by the national
child labor committee, especially the
county unit system of organization.
I'VE are convinced there is no way
of handling the situation in the beet
fields unless the larger school unit
is adopted" said dwari n. Chopper of
the national child labor committee
who last fall conducted the committee
investigation of the children who work
''in the beets." Conditions have not I'M
proved any since last year-in fact
a letter from a school superintendent
in one of the beet districts informs
us they are worse. On November 20
of this year not one child who worked
in the beet-fields had returned to his
schools and the superintendent did
not expect any before the middle of
December"
Cannot Enforce Compulsory Law.
At the time of its Investigation the
national child labor committee found
that the compulsory education law
could not be enforced in the beet
sections because under the district
system of organization anyone who
attempted to enforce the law would
have to prosecute his own friends
anu HtikupOrs.
The bureau of education reports
that the rural schools of Colorado
have school term 90 days shorter
than the children in the cities. In
addition to this the children in the
beet sections lose anywhere from 10
to 100 days more, according to the
report which the national child labor
committee published.
''These conditions will not be sat
isfactorily remedied until the unit
system for school organization is
made larger says the report.
Denounce the Present System.
County superintendents and school
principals and teachers in these small
districts are practically unanimous in
denouncing the present system and
in demanding reorganization on a
broader plan so that school work will
not be interfered with and virtually
destroyed for part of the year as is
unfortunately the case today.
The welfare of the children in these
districts actually depends upon this
issue and it is believed that when the
matter is clearly brought before the
people of Colorado they will act, and
act in no uncertain way"

PUBLIC SERVICE
CORPORATIONS
LEGISLATURE

Read the following review of the
work of Stone, Webster & Co.'s leg
islature by Harley L. Hughes, Legis-
lative Agent of the State Federation
of Labor. 1t is a terse, pointed
sesame of that body's record.
Read it:
Volumes might be written about the
legislative session just closed at
Olympia-but there is this one thing
about it: The members for the most
part did not in any sense represent
the will of the people who sent them
there.
BY a four to one vote the people of
this state defeated the seven referred
measures and the constitutional
amendment limiting the right of suf-
frage-the legislative program of the
1915 session of the state legislature,
by which it was sought to limit the
powers of the people-and yet re-
turned majority of the men who
were responsible for that legislative
program!
For the most part the members
were of the same stamp as the men

EARLY CLOSING

The retail butchers have made an
agreement to close their shops at 9
p. M, Saturdays, instead of at 10
as heretofore, on and after April IA.
The weekday closing hour will re-
main the same-6 p. m. There is
some talk of the grocers following
the butchers in this early closing
movement. Nine o'clock Saturday
night is late enough for anybody to
buy meat or any other husehold nee
essities and the consumers will soon
adapt themselves to the change.
