Child Labor Is Not Cheap Labor

into the factory was disclosed with
brutal frankness by an employer
who was asked as to the factors con-
sidered when locating industries in
which women and children were en-
ployed. His reply was that the first
point investigated was as to the
wages OF the men in a vicinity.
If these wages were high enough
to afford decent living It was then
taken for granted that labor sup
ply" Of women and children would
not be available.
Owing to the fact that home
work" is undertaken only under the
pressure of need, regulation is not
effective. The only solution is abso-
lutte prohibition.
AS to the employment Of children,
my own experience as pieceworker
In a factory proves that tho employ

processes OF industry effects the

Account
BY GAYLORD NELSON

TT ULIUS HAUCK sold his quar-
ry to the State for the Re-
.L1 formatory at Pendleton, in
1922. He received $4,000 for the
land-sixty-six acres-on which the
quarry was located.
BY a "gentleman's agreement
with the then Governor payment for
the stock of stone and quarry plan.
was to be on the basis Of an ap-
praisal by the public service COM
mission-which subsequently fixed
the price at $44,032.
All cf which was perfectly. salts
factory-only the account has not
been paid. Probably that's merely an
oversight and the State will pay
the debt when 1t steams up to the
treasury through the proper channel.
The transaction, however, illus
trates what a frail creature is a
"gentleman's agreement In business
dealings with government.
From the days of Robert Morris
the financial agent of the Revolus
tion--down to the present, men who
have dealt with national and State
governments on verbal agreements
have suffered losses. Government
officials are easy promisers and easy
forgetters.
However, greater injustice would
be done to the public II officials
could make 'gentlemen's agree
ments" all over the place with as
surance of subsequent ratification.
a contract with State doesn't suffer
by going through the regular chan
nels and being recorded In black
and white.

Director Of the Woman's Bureau,
United States Department OF Labor.
T7UCH problems as child labor
Nj and the performance OF in
dustrial work in the homes
are, in the last analysis, products of
low wages.
Surveys conducted by the Wom-
ans Bureau of the Department OF
Labor show that a living wage for
the breadwinner ends both OF these
evils.
Taking work into the home is the
last resort Of the exploited. 1t is
the first expedient in the struggle to
exist which is abandoned when the
wages Of the outside workers in the
family advance.
The same condition applies to the
employment of children. That It is
the necessity and not the greed Of
the worker which turns his home
into sweatshop or puts his children

Income Tax

mi RAVELING expenses form an
III important item in the re-
- turns of many taxpayers.
The revenue act OF 1924 provides
that travelling expenses. including
railroad fares and the entire amount
expended for meals and lodging
when away from home solely on a
business trip may be deducted by a
taxpayer from gross income in de
termining net income upon which
the tax is to be assessed. On q
journey for other than business pul.-
poses, railroad fares are personal
expenses and the cost OF meals and
lodgings are living expenses. There
fore, they cannot be deducted.
If salesman is not reimbursed
by HIS employer for his travelling e,s-
penses. or If employed on a commits
sion basis with no expense allow
ance. his entire travelling expenses
may be deducted from gross in
come. If he receives a. salary and
$ also repaid for travelling expenses,
he should include in his return Of
gross income the amount of repay
ment and may deduct such expenses.
A salesman receiving a salary and
an allowance for meals and lodging
should include the allowance in
gross income, from which may be
deducted the cost Of meals and
lodging.
Only such travelling expenses as
are reasonable and necessary in
the conduct of the business and di-
rectly attributable to it, may be de-
Quoted. Examples are payment for
the use Of a sample room, or the hire
of vehicles used In visiting Gus
toners.
A taxpayer claiming deduction
for travelling expenses must attach
to his return a statement showing
the nature Of the business in which
engaged; number OF days away from
home during the taxable year on
account of business; total amount Of
expenses incident to meals and lodg-
ing while absent from home on busI-
ness; total amount of other ex-
penses incident to travel and claimed
as deduction. Among the other
expenses are tips, which are held
to be a part OF travelling expenses.
provided they are reasonable in
amount.
Claims for travelling expenses
must be substantiated when Ire
quired by the Commissioners of In
ternal Revenue by records showing
in detail the amount and nature OF
the expenses incurred.
Suburbanites who commute daily
from their homes to their places Of
business are not permitted to deduct
the cost Of granspo it being
. personal expense.

lrTS1 HE indianapolis Automobile
| | Trade Association plans a
- great bonfire in May. The
dangerous, old, trade-in automobiles
then held by local dealers will be
burned in one great funeral pyre at
the State fairgrounds.
It will be novel spectacle, a NELL
odramatic and drastic solution Of the
used car problem.
Each year hundreds of WORKOUT
cars accumulate in the hands of
dealers. They have outlived their
usefulness In respectable society,
and are practically worthless.
Usually they are sold to Junk deal
ers for prices ranging from $40 to
$50. Some are scrapped. Others are
acquired for almost nothing by
youths and reckless amateur tink.
erers, and revived temporarily.
These machines bought for song
and driven by irresponsible youths
are public menace. They encour-
age lawless disregard of the rights
and safety OF other highway traffic.
A scratched fender causes anguish
to the owner OF lustrous. new car
--he isn't inclined to take chances.
But a crumpled fender or collision
means nothing to the irresponsible
driver of one of these battered tin
cans on four wheels He doesn't
care.
The proposed funeral pyre Of
junl5ed automobiles will keep some
of these potential implements OF
destruction off the streets-and may
save the untimely funeral Of a
junked pedestrian.

adults wage standards are not actu
ally lowered.
To make this clear, It must be
remembered that children are usu-
ally employed in routine products
through factory, or In such elemen-
tary processes as feed the material
to the adult and skilled worker.
They are the source Of frequent de-
lays which slow up the whole opera
ton and reduce the earning power
of the force while increasing the
overhead Of the factory.
So thoroughly has my own person
al experience as a factory worker
backed by years Of observation, dem
onstrated the drain on industry
which is thus incurred that feel
safe in saying that it would DO an
economy, IN almost all cases, to re-
place three children with one adult
even If the adult was paid an amount
equal to that OF the three children
replaced.

Sentences

"A BILL to make bank banditry
lA punishable by death or life
L1 imprisonment has been pre-
pared by Senators Lochard and
Southwark.
The proposed penalty should have
a harsh, grating sound to incipient
bank robbers, for 1t puts their pro.
fession In the same class with first
degree murder.
Perhaps, If passed, the penalty
will deter some malefactors and re.
duce the overcrowding Of the hold
up business. At least that's the
laudable intention OF the authors.
OF course bank banditry has
reached alarming proportions in
this State. If 1t can be stamped out,
by increased penalties, the twitter-
ing nerves OF bank employees and
bank assets would be soothed.
However death--or life irnprison-
ment-does not noticeably restrain
our ambitious murderers, Probably
similar punishments wouldn't deter
energetic bank bandits.
Whenever one sort of crime be-
comes unduly prevalent there is de.
mand for a special criminal statute
armed with long, carnivorous teeth.
Formerly the horse thief was thus
singled out, today 1t is the bank
bandit, tomorrow
Such special acts are usually no
more effective than the existing
criminal code. Maximum sentences
now provided-if enforced would
make every type of crime unproflt-
able. 1t isn't the maximum sentence
written in the statute book, but the
minimum sentence imposed by
the Judge that determines the
punishment.
