CHILD LAbORLAW
AGAIN DISCUSSED
RESERVE SOME THINGS FOR
THE STATE

A proposed amendment to the con-
stitution to be passed on by the legis-
latures next winter, is as follows /:
''The congress shall have the power to
limit, regulate and prohibit the labor
of persons under IS years of age"
The amendment also suspends any con-
flicting state statutes The amend
ment is designed to prevent compul-
sorry labor detrimental to moral and
mental development, as well as physi-
CAL and it has been surrounded by
widespread sentiment because of the
"child labor" designation and the care.

one million children in this country
are gainfully employed" carrying
subtly the suggestion that such en-
ployment is continuous, strenuous
and detrimental.

vised extension of power especially
in view of the congressional DISPOSE
ton to go the limit. Many youths
not children, are employed on oul
| farms and elsewhere internationally
with profit to themselves, their par
ents and the community and without
any impairment as to health, morals
or education. To prohibit that, and
! it could be done under the proposed
authority, would hardly be viewed
unconcernedly and why grant au.
thority that might easily be deteri-
mentally invoked? The regulation
too has its Objectionable features, as
many will envision who have OBJ

Divested of many details of ar
gument, eliminating the history of
child labor restrictive measures in
nation and state and masses of fig
ures that could be presented In op-
position to adoption of the proposed
amendment, one concrete objection to
it that might be sufficient is the
further encroachment contemplated
upon state authority. This is mat
ter of vital concern to every state
the welfare Of the child and Of the
young men and women as well. Each
state has its particular conditions
and problems and no set rule will
meet the one nor solve the other.
Moreover, it is exceeding the
bounds of sound reasoning to argue
that the people of any state are not
sufficiently intelligent and interest
ed to handle these conditions and
problems. Also there should be some
point beyond which the national gov.
eminent should not be permitted to
go invading state privileges, preroga.

subject to legislation ON the face of it,

A somewhat similar condition eX-
lists as to nOn-agricultural employ

In Idaho there are only 497 child

that number 377 in agricultural pur-

The figures, therefore, do not seem
to reveal any cause for genuine a.

fact that while the 1920 census
shows 100000 more children in the

Of
Superstitions
FALLING OUT OF BED

It prevailed among the barbarians as

European regions.
But there are indications that the
ceremony was also In a nature OF an

the ritual of these various ceremonies
of simulated rebirth shows parts

gard to the supposed dead Greek and
with regard to adoption the reason ror
