By GEORGE T. ALTMAN.

Souix Falls, s. D., March. 9.-The moderate eight-hour law embodied in a bill now before the state legislature of South Dakota is meeting with considera- ble opposition especially from the Busi- ness and Professional Women's Club of this state.
 The present bill Is an exact copy of the law now on the statute books except that the words eight hours are substituted for the words ten hours '' The law applies only to women, girls, and children under the age of fourteen and 1t does not apply to these if they are farm laborers or donestics. Yet the new bill IS objected to by women's club as too progressive.
 The bill was drafted and presented by the Women's Progressive Club of South Dakota. It has received the en- dorsements of the State Federation of Labor of South Dakota and the Trades and Labor Assembly of Sioux Falls. Ob- jections to the bill have come, as would be expected, only from reactionary or

SOME 'NOVEL SUGGESTIONS"
 FOR CHAIRMAN LASKER

Andrew Furuseth, President of tht
 International Seamen's Union ot America, today made the following com. nent on MT. Lasker's promise of . forthcoming ''novel'' shipping program
 "A news head from the Washington Post of February 27, 1923, reads as fol lows: Novel Ship Plans Soon From Lasker-Nature To Be Startling Chairman Says After Interview With
 President
 There are many plans which would be startling novel coming from MT Lasker As for instance, MT. Lasker might abolish the M. O. contract and run vessels directly by the Shipping Board, or he might give instructions to man the vessels properly so as to keep them out of the repair shops and repair yards, or he might instruct the operat- ing department to run vessels in accord ance with the laws provided for safety at sea, or he might put into being the novel plan of employing American citizens in stead of Chinese and Filipinos, or he might realize that passengers are not fond of having their beds made up, their towels handled, their food cook ed and served by Chinese crews, 25 per cent of which were, upon inves- tigation, found afflicted with syphilis and realizing this he might abolish 1t, or he might run the vessels in com petition with domestic and foreign shopowners in every trade and thus create a market for the sale of the ships.
 "All of the foregoing would be nov cities to MT. Lasker because they are essential to the life of a merchant marine"

ganizations.

gan1Zat1Or1S.
 One of the objections offered is the fact that men are not included in the bill The statement of this fact as an objection is justly believed by labor to be bit of treachery.
 The objecting organizations also as sert that a reduction of hours would mean reduction of profits, and they, therefore, prefer an increase in wages. They fail to realize that an increase in wages would not remove the evils of long hours, and that it would have no lesser effect upon profits. A further objection offered, that the consumer will pay the bill is just as tenable in the case of an increase III wages.
 Labor in South Dakota believes that any effect of decrease in hours will be offset by a resulting increase in eff ciency. Labor, moreover, takes human viewpoint of the situation, and justly be- lieves that there is a surplus of profits which should be released for the comfort and well being of wage earners.

T. W. BARLEY ADVISES FARMER
TO STAY WITH THE PALOUSE

H. Melgard Is in receipt of an in
.teresting letter from T. w. BARLEY,
formerly a we'll known attorney in
Moscow, but now located at Santa
Cruz, California. Mr.. Barley tells of
conditions at Santa Cruz, which is a
city of about $4,000, and states that
or May 8 an election will be held to
authorize bonding the city for $780,
900 to enlarge the watch system.
Very soon, he writes, the city will
be called upon to vote another large
bond issue to build adequate school
buildings. He says, however, that the
city is growing and that they are
building for the future, although the
result is a heavy burden of taxes.
After recounting some Of the ad-
vantages Of California, Mr.. BARLEY
But after all is said and done,
there is no place like the old Pa
louise country, in many respects. Am
sorry to see so any mortgages filed
there from day to day, and hope a
few years Of good crops and living
will enable the farmers to pay
put, before they become discouraged.
The farmer who stands by his farm
there and uses his head to good ad-
will win out"

The current issue of the Idaho
ECONOMIC Bulletin, issued from tn
office of Professor H. G. Dale of tn
department of economics at the Uni
versity of Idaho, deals with the ia,
question, as 1t affects the nation, ant
as It is affected by war, In a manner
that is most Illuminating.
The following are excerpts from the
Bulletin:
$50 easy is it to grow 'het VI
over the tax question that any allu-
sion to 1t, any slight inuendo touch
inc 1t, even, is very likely to be viewed
with suspicion not to say with rising
gorge. II any of our readers suffer
from flexible gorge we suggest that
tSa4y destroy this number, or better
sffl, pass it on to some one not so
noi~rtunately afflicted.
hen we growl at taxation we
usually (excep. at just this season
of the year, have in mind state and
local rather than natlosal levies.
Now in the year before the wal,taxes
took out of the national pocket book
ga per cent of our income, in 1920
1871, 14.3 per cent, and the biggest
proportion Of this increase is repre-
seated by additional federal taxes.
In 1913 federal taxes comprised 80
per cent Of the total; in 1~920-1921, So
per cent Of the total. This increase
Is, OF course, primarily attributable
to the war, though the federal re-
guiating, graduating, investigating
and propagating with which we are
becoming increasingly familiar has
much to do with it."
Tables Of actual disbursements are
then given, which are explained in
the following summary:
Expenditures arising from
recent and previous
wars, army and navy =. 92.S3%
Primary functions of govern
ment 3.19%
Public works ............ 1870
Research, educational, and
developmental ......... 1919
Total ........... 100. O0%
The article then continues:
"There are those, and they are not
confined to our colleges and univer-
who think that SO per cent for
wars, past, present, and future, and
only one per cent for education and
research indicates a need for read
1ustment. 1t is only fair to say, how
ever, that in the years 1899-1919 the
mount appropriated for war pur-

poses as defined above was never less
than 6S per cent. Up to 1916 we had
appropriated more than five billions
for pensions. The year before the
war, 1913, we expended 176 millions
for this purpose and in the same
year Germany, France, England, and
Austria combined spent only "a mil
lions, Or less than half as much.
There were more people on the pen
sion roll in 1913 than ever before. al
though the Civil War had been ended
nearly half a century and the Span
lsh war fourteen years. AS for pub
lie works, 1t was the late Senator
T1llman who said, This whole
scheme Of river improvement is a
humbug and a steal, but If you are
going to steal let's divide it out and
not go on complaining On another
occasion, we have a little orphan of
a naval station down in South Caro-
lima for which | am trying to get a
few crumbs of this money which is
being wasted After all the pork
barrel is in no sense "a are old cask.'
In fact, more than 80 per cent of
total appropriations for public build
ings since the country began have
been made subsequent to 1892 Here
are some Of the figures on post
offices:

Basin, Wyo. ....... 1853 =. $50, 900. 90
Vernal, Utah $3.50. 1876 :. 100000
Where does the money come from?
Most of us have been only mildly
aware of the fiscal revolution (no
other word is strong enough that
has taken place in the last few years.
Throughout our history there have
been three basic sources of federal
revenue: Cd Customs duties; (2) In
ternal revenues; 60 Public lands and
miscellaneous. Up to 1860 customs |
duties constituted never less than 70
per cent Of the total, and during most
of the time, 80 per cent or better.
From 1850 to 1910 customs comprised
approximately half and internal re-
venues about 40 per cent. The other
10 per cent came from miscellaneous
sources, including public lands. Since
1910, or more accurately since 1916,
we have suffered a decided reorganiza-
ton of u public finances due to
three primary causes: ID The six
teenth amendment, which for the first
time permitted the constitutional levy
of a direct federal tax on incomes

PROHIBITION IN


Speculation concerning the in
roads made in England by the
prohibition movement may now be
checked up with the vote in the
House of Commons on Edwin Scry-
mgeour's Prohibition Bill, which
would have forbidden the manufac-
ture and sale of alcohol except for
scientific purposes.
The House, be it noted, rejected
the measure by a vote of 236 to IA.
If England is about to come over
into the dry column, there is so far
no sign of the impending change
to be found.
But it is even less heartening
to the aus that during the de-
hate over the bill the United States
should have been repeatedly re-
ferred to as n "horrible example
which has robbed prohibition of all
the attraction which otherwise it
might have had.
Before the Volstead act was
adopted it was impossible for the
opponents of prohibition anywhere
to. demonstrate by actual example
that prohibition would not prohibit,
that the rich could evade enforce
mept, that the police would be de
bauched by its provisions, that II
would compel the substitution OF
spirits for milder beverages. Al
this the people of this country have
discovered by first-hand expert
ment and the people of Europ,
have discovered painlessly by look
ing or. 1t is possible that the tria
of prohibition in the United Statel
will kill prohibition forever as al
issue in any European naion.

Crushed by Wagon

WoRLAND, wyo.. April 2s. - A
very sad accident happened last
week in which Camelle Roux, aged
2S years. brother of Annie Roux, lost
his life. From what we were able to
learn, regarding the affair, Roux
was moving camp for Paul Imbert
and had three wagons on the hill at
Devils Slide, about twenty-five miles
from Worland. at the head OF No
Water. He put the brakes on the
front wagon and was coupling them
together when the wag behind
started down the hill catching the
unfortunate man between 1t and the
wagon ahead crushing him. about the
chest and causing almost instant
death.
Men in the neighborhood found his
dead body shortly after the accident
and notified the brother who rode to
town 10 notify the authorities of
what had happened.
