Governor Asks Changes On Woman Jury
 Referendum Measure

In q communication received by the House of Representa- tiyes this afternoon, Gov Riggs returned House Bill No. 30, an Act providing for a referendum of female electors on their de- sire as to jury service. Gov Riggs informed the House that he failed to approve the bill and asked that certain changes be made.
 The bill was termed by the Governor as purely class legis- lation and as such should not become a law. He also drew attention to the fact that sec ton four of the bill made it incumbent on the next legisla- ture to enact such laws as the referendum vote showed was wanted. He held that it is i'm possible for any legislature to bind any succeeding legislative assembly to take any action. He asked that the bill be amended in accordance with his suggestions.
 The measure was referred by Speaker Nerland to the Com mittee on Elections and Elec- ton Laws and will probably be reported out at once.

THE CHILD LABOR TAX

newed, and in the revenue bill of 1918 was inserted the provision by which prohibitory tax is levied on employers of child labor. This ac- complished exactly the same thing that the child labor law was intend ed to accomplish, and it stands on the constitutional ground right of the federal government to levy taxes. Even as there are other ways to kill a cat than choking it with butter. so there are more ways Of getting around the dear old Constitution than the Founding Fathers ever dreamed of.
 Now this tax law is being en- forced with good effect, 1t is claimed. The census figures on child labor for 1920 are not out yet. and only
 they will prove just how much has been accomplished. But there seems
 to be little doubt that the tax law has abolished child labor in many industries.
 Now it remains to be seen once more whether it is really a law or not. The customary suit has been filed attacking the constitutionality of the law, and this case is No. 1f on the supreme court docket. It will in all probability be heard and de- cided this fall.
 The lawyers will have a fine time Those on behalf of the law will point out that the federal government has a right to levy taxes. and that il has long employed this method oi abolishing or mitigating abuses The
 attorneys for the employers will say | that if this is so then states rights are a dream, for here is a method by
