CHILD LABOR DECISION

The 1919 child labor law. calculat ed to regulate the employment o1 children by imposing tax of ten pel cent upon the net annual profits o1 those employing children under cer. tain ages, has been declared uncon. stitutional.
 The grounds for this decision, re. luctantly made, are plain. Congress has broad taxing power. If this law was primarily law passed to lev, taxes, it was constitutional being within that power of congress.
 If, however. the law was passed to stop the employment of children. and the tax was imposed merely as q means Of preventing the employment of children, then the law was clear infringement of the police power of the individual states, and was no, within the power of congress to pass.
 The court said that it was clear the intent of the law was to stop such om- ployment of children. The court saw that the legislation was designed to promote the highest good'' But nevertheless, it was the courts duty to forbid infringement of the rights of the states. For this reason. because if did interfere with these rights, it was held unconstitutional.
 The decision is sound at law, The states should pass laws regulating the employment of children as they have the power to do

FOR THE SUFFERING

Many righteous people will raise their hands in horror over the reports that the Soviet government has robbed the churches and synagogues of Rus sia and confiscated the gold, silver and precious stones in them Such people will comment with indignation on this new evidence of the awful character Yof the Russian and his disregard for sacred things.
 Nor will the fact that the same re ports state these valuables are to be for the benefit Of the famine sufferers make any difference to such critics. The gold and precious stones were parts of sacred edifices. They should not have been touched Those who took them are vandals, and that is all there is to 1t.

ROCKY HILL SANITARIIM.

There cvc fourteen patients al Rock Hill Sanitarum, the city tuber. cuosis hospital. The other day the verandahs were measured for screens and awnings that the patients may re. ceiNe the benefit of outside air, espe- cially in the summer months. lnci- dentally, the air in the winter months Is advantageous, too. Doctors asser, that sunshine and fresh air may cure the disease.
 Some months ago there was talk oi discontinuing the hospital as only one-haIf dozen or SC patients were being benehted by it. The Herald urged that it be maintained little longer; that as the benefits were seen more patients would go there and good results would follow.
 It is satisfactory to see, not that there are more patients at the hospital as evidence of a greater number of tuberculosis sufferers, but that a greater number Of tuberculosis suffer- CTS are taking advantage of the treat ment there. There have been about fourteen patients at the hospital on an average for some time. It is good that the institution was maintained. IL is good to feel that there is a place here being made more and more the sympathy of all may have a chance to rest and regain lost strength and the hope of health. Any inn provements made there should be en- courag ged.

Washington, ID. O., Jan. 81.
New York in 1921 developed build
ing boom which broke records of
three years. standing. More than
1894, 100000 worth of building con-
tracts We're let in 1921, total 25 per
cent. greater than in 1920 and 40 per
cent. higher than in 1919
Rents. higher in New York than
any city in the country, are certain to
be reduced, it is believed, if building
continues at high rate in 1922.
Secretary OF Labor Davis believes
that high rents prevailing throughout
the country following the war consti-
tute one of the highest barriers
against the resumption of normal busi-
ness conditions, the reduction Of living
costs and the termination of unem-
ployment. Wage scale readjustinents
are contested by workers in thou
sands OF instances. according to Mr..
Davis, because of the high rents they
are forced to pay, although prices of
food and other necessities have gen.
orally been somewhat reduced.
The development of building boom
In New York is looked upon by Federal
economists as indicative of like boom
throughout the country. Some officials
believe the end of the nationwide hous-
ing shortage is in sight. Reports to the
Federal Reserve Board and other Gov
ernment agencies show the issuance or
permits in larger numbers In many sec

tions OF the country than ever before.
Prices of lumber. brick and of nearly
all building materials began TO decline
several months ago. reports to the La
Dor Department show. AT the same
time higher prices are asked for unde-
veloped property.
Although the Labor Department rec
ords show rents throughout the United
States but 80 per cent. higher than III
the prewar period, the officials them
selves discount this to some extent.
The returns. they explain, are based
merely on the rentals received BY the
original landlords and owners or rented
property. These reports, therefore. do
not take into consideration the large
increases In rents In subetting.
The New York reports indicate that
contracts were let during 1921 for moro
than 1852 100000 worth OF residential
property alone. This would indicate the
intention to build 232.O00 rooms on the
basis of $1,000 a room, although $500 is
now considered the average. At the
higher rate, however. at least G,OOO
three room apartments or dwelling
spaces were contracted for in New York
in 1921. On an area basis the con-
tracts include the building Of more than
100000 feet Of building space, large
increase over preceding years.
The more than s100,000.000 Of com
mercial construction contracted for indi-
Gates, officials say, that in New York
the undercurrents Of better business
conditions are beginning to make them
selves felt
The need for commercial and business
structures Is almost as great as that for
dwellings not only in New York but
throughout the entire country. By in
creasing overhead this has helped boost
the prices Of necessities.
