Need for WORKING Law.

Miss Beavers told the women this
afternoon that at the present time the
state of Iowa had no laws governing
the matter of hours and wage for
working women and she impressed up.
on them the need of some effort be
ing made by the women themselves
in securing some. All Of these points
will be further discussed at the con
ference tonight and all the members
of the association and their friends
are especially urged to be present al
the evening program.
The conference closes with the
meeting tonight, but it is hoped by
both of the field workers. who have
been here that the questions raised
in the last two days which are being
discussed on the programs will con
tinue to be of interest to the Keokuk
women, and that they will not stop
trying to solve them.
Tho out-of-town workers have been
successful in interesting the local
women in a number of possible re-
forms in the work of the association.
Miss Marion James in her talk Thurs
day afternoon spoke to her audience
on the tendency of the associations
at the pEeSeuL lille, VI putting Mol
responsibility on the whole member
ship by keeping all of them more
closely in touch with the policies of
the organization, having more call
meetings, and increasing the number
Of members on their boards. Miss
James came to Keokuk as student
secretary of the north ceatral field
and her work at the conference was
directed along these lines. The cap
able manner in which both Miss
Beavers and Miss James have con-
Quoted the two days programs have
met with the approval Of the mem
,bers of the focal association, and they
feel as if it has been really worth
while, they say.

The same subject will be enlarged up
on tonight following a discussion OF

Miss Helen beavers, the city secre-
tary of the north central field who is
one of the workers here conducting
the conference, is anxious to get an
expression from the women in Keo-
kuk, particularly the industrial and
business women in the city in regard
to their ideas concerning the indus
trial problems which confront them,
and the nation at large.
There are nine industrial standards
which the national convention of the
". w. C. A. to be held at Cleveland,
Ohio, April 10 to 20, are asking the
associations all over the country to
express opinions on and suppol
adoption of when they are brought ia
an issue at the convention.
The Y. w. C. A. associations have
10000 members who are industrial
women and the organization is looking
to those women to help form public
opinion for the realization Of these
standards.
Eight hour days, forty-four hour
week, one day of rest in seven, nc
child labor, no night work, equal pay
equal work, living wage, industrial

tive bargaining are some OF the stand
ards the national convention of the

BUSY SESSION PROMISED.

In his message to the legislature which assembled in special ses-
date needs of the Territory which he considers most salient and i'm
portant and has outlined enough legislation and investigation to keep
the legislators busy for days and days to come. If tackled in a system
attic and buslnesshke way, however, the special session need not be pro-
tracted. Undoubtedly there are matters which some persons will think
are urgent enough to have mention in the message which have not been
touched upon but it is to be remembered that the regular session lis not
many months away.
Outstanding in legislative needs is the securing OF additional reve.
nue. and that subject is given first place in the message. The proposed
remedy would tax corporations, firms and individuals not upon a net
income but upon such net income plus the amount that is paid for fed
era income taxes. 1t may seem a hardship upon the taxpayer but, on
the other hand, the Territory is not concerned with what the taxpayer
has to pay to other government than itself. 1t will fall chiefly on the
corporations and through them on the stockholders in decreased divi-
dends.
Schools and teachers salaries are next treated and it is admitted
by practically every one that legislation on those subjects are essential.
AS to wharves, three projects are mentioned and the Kahului wharf
plan is given hearty support and passage of legislation to enable a bond
issue is urged. Other matters are treated and in another part of this
issue OF Maui News will be found extracts from the message where it
is OF most interest to Maui residents and taxpayers and digested on
other points. {
While other legislation is not precluded by the message there is so
much outlined and suggested in the message that most other subjects
will be passed over by the legislators until the regular session. There
is some Maui legislation which may be given attention including the
proposals for free transportation of school children who live at a dis
lance from schools, detention homes or homes for deinquents on this
Island and the employment OF a man and a woman truant or probation
officers here. There is a mass OF other legislation Maui would like to see
pass which will probably have to wait.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-11-12
FOREIGN LANGUAGE SCHOOLS.

One OF the really important subjects which will be considered at
the special session of The legislature is the foreign language school, its
suppression or its regulation. The subject was pretty well thrashed out
adjustment or to any regulation of the foreign language schools that
meant anything. The bill passed the house and lost in the senate.
1t is not necessary at this time to go deeply into the subject again
in editorial comment. Proponents OF the intended legislation assert that
the Japanese language schools teach a code of ethics which is un-Amer-
lean, incucate teachings which are antagonstic to American ideals and
are a deterrent to Amercanization of children born in Hawaii Of Japa-
nese parents. Opponents to the legislation insist t would be IN in
fringement upon the rights of residents if they be not permitted to learn
the language OF their parents. There is evidence aplenty that the matter
taught will not be of any use to the students as American citizens and
may be a deterrent to their advancement.
In community where there is so large a Japanese population as in
the Hawaiian Islands and which from geographic position and CONNER
cial tendencies is in such close contact with Japan there can be no doubt
an acquaintance with the Japanese language is advantageous to persons
of all nationaites. If it is good for the japanese it is good for the
haole and the Hawaiians. Blu. the Japanese school is for the Japanese,
and other children will not attend them even if they would be welcomed.
On the other hand the whole problem might be solved by intro
duclng the Japanese language as al optional study in the public schools
after a certain grade be reached. Then the department of public insruc-
ton could see that teachers were competent, could have control of the
subject matter taught, the claim OF the Japanese that they have a right
to have their own children learn the language of their parents would
be answered and other children would have an opportunity to acquire
a language that might prove very useful to them. If the money now e-
pended on Japanese schools by the Japanese be paid to the territorial
school fund a course in japanese for all would readily be furnished and
a solution of the whole difficulty secured.
In any event the japanese may expect that even though they be
permitted to continue language schools it must be under Territorial
regulation.
