AS OTHERS SEE Us.

Under the caption: kansas Balks;
at Nothing" the Sioux City Tribune
discusses a proposed legislative enact
ment as follows:
II is still the experimental age in
the history of Kansas. But perhaps
tnat state is destined to be the legisla-
tive laboratory of the nation. Recall
ing this, it is neither SO shocking nor
SO amusing as it otherwise would be
TO note that one of its legisladies has
introduced bill to make husbands
the employers of wives who work in
the home, thus permitting a wife to
recover damages for injuries received
while performing those duties, such as
burnt and cut fingers.
There are a number of important
related problems that suggest them
selves to be decided incidentally. For
example. If the husband is, legally, the
employer, may he fire friend wife if
he does not like her biscuits?
May he require a bond of her to
protect himself against her burning
her fingers unnecessarily whenever she
wants little extra cash?
May the wife insist on the eight
hour day, and refuse to feed the baby
during the night, or put hot, towels on
hubby's toothaching cheek, except at
overtime rates?
What il the housewives union goes
on strike: is husband then obliged to
feed employe wife during the strike
| Would friend wife hang a sign board
on her back and picket the old home
stead?
If husband is employer instead of
partner, may wiley question him as
TO where he goes nights. and what he
does. with the remainder of his cash
1Sit to be a closed shop. or may
husband hire whoever and as many as
ne pleases, to do whatever he wishes
| done IN the matter of home keeping
Would a pain IN the back due to
pushing a broom or manipulating a
dashboard be considered an injury
for which damages could be collected +?
Clearly there is much to be talked
over in the case of the newest Kansas

belt may eloquently stand up for
states rights and the curtailment OF
federal authority, but he is in favor
of enormous appropriations for the
serum by the federal government.
Numerous similar instances suggest
themselves.
DR.. Rosa's figures seem to indicate
that what is needed is clear and un-
prejudiced analysis of. the situation to
determine just what activities of the
federal government are legitimate and
necessary, and which are not. DR..
Rosa argues that the scientific and
engineering activities of the govern
ment are among it's most legitimate
and necessary ones. The bureau of
standards, for instance, makes scien-
tific research which is of great value
to industry, as do also other scientific
bureaus of the government. This
work could be done by private con-
Germs for themselves. But for each
private concern to do its own primary
research would be to do the same
thing over and over again. The logi-
cal way IS for the government to do
the primary work, in full co-opera-
ftion with private enterprise, leaving
the private laboratories to work out
their special problems. This seems
logical. Such work by the government
represents merely economical COOP
Grafton by the American people to
solve their industrial problems.
AS for engineering work, it is most
1y necessary in development of the
public domain. AS long as We have
public domain, it must be adequately
cared for. So the care of national
forests and the reclamation of arid
public lands are legitimate govern
ment work.
There certainly seems to be a dis
tinction between such governmental
activities as these and others. which
readily come to mind, that might be
as well or better performed by states
or municipalities or individuals. 1t is
the latter which brought down upon
their heads the epithets "paternalis-
tic and Bureaucratic
1t is a complicated and vital Dques-
ton, but Doctor Rosa seems to have
shed some light on it, anyhow.

HIS EDUCATED HEART.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.


He had n way about him that was gentle
like and kind,
He didn't have much schooling, but he had
n splendid mind,
And he seemed to know the right thing
without studying 1t out
The kind of man you like to know and
want to have about
It's difficult to picture just how good he
was to know.
His words were plain an simple, an he
wasn't built for show,
But he seemed to know exactly what to say
an what to do
To smooth the way for others an the peo-
pie that he knew.
Some folks learn things by readin', an
some are trained in school,
An many an educated man can be a blum
derin' fool
But he did little readin' an in school he
wasn't smart
1t seems the good Lord gave him an edu-
Gated heart.
He never said a mean thing an he never
did wrong,
He seemed to know exactly how to help a
man along;
His grammar wasn't perfect an his writin'
far from good,
But the needs of human beings were the
things he understood.
