Commission Turns
Down Application
For Auditorium

Little business was transacted at
the Monday meeting of the City
Commission except to refuse the
rental of the Auditorium on the
grounds that the object Of the meet
ing was against public policy. This
action was taken largely upon an
opinion of Philip Elliott, assistant
attorney general, to c. L. Young,
city attorney. The opinion read in
part:
"It is my belief that the board
can refuse to permit the use of the
auditorium for any entertainment or
meeting which they reasonably be-
lieve will be detrimental to the
morals of the community or for any
meeting for the purpose of teaching
the destruction of our government or
the violation of it's laws, but do not
believe that they can make arbitrary
determinations"
A petition was presented signed by
some citizens asking for the use of
the building for the meeting.

Washington, Jan. 22.-(By the A.
PD-The American Council of Agri-
culture is endeavoring to obtain en-
dorsement by the farm group in
Congress early enactment of a modi-
fled McNary Haugen farm relief
measure sponsored by the organiza
tion.
Representative Of the council pre-
sented arguments in favor Of the mo-
dified bill at joint meeting last
night of the Senate and House agri-
culture committees, after appearing
in it's support before the presidents
agriculture commission.
Hearing of the councils spokes
men by the committee was in line
with a plan of the Congressional
farm group to get behind some farm
relief bill in the hope that it can be
passed at this session. No decision
was reached last night as to what
attitude should be taken on the
councils bills.
The committee was told that the
bill, while following the general
lines of the original McNary-Haugen
measure, which was defeated in the
House at the last session, contained
none Of what was considered as the
main Objectionable features of that
measure. Not only will the tariff
law not be affected by the new mea
sure, the witnesses contended, but
the price ratio provisions of the
first bill, which provoked the chief
opposition as price-fixing scheme,
have been stricken out.
A farm export corporation would
be organized and financed by an ad-
vance of $5O,OOO,OOO from the War
Finance Corporation, to be reimburs-
ed by commission charges for hand
ling farm commodities. The pur-
pose of the bill would be to divert
surplus American farm products into
the foreign trade at prices profitable
to the producers.
The witnesses declared the emer-
gency in agriculture had not passed
and unless some aid is given, more
farmers will be driven to the cities
to the detriment of agriculture, in
dustry and the country generally.

cessfully.'
'4For 1000 years we have been try
ing to separate church and state.
Our experience has been such that
we don't want to do anything to
unite them
Rep. Twichell again took up arms
for the bill. "This measure has
nothing to do with any question of
religion in government" he said.
1T simply provides time for reli-
gious instruction during the week.
1t may be that the time provided
is too much. If so let us amend the
bill and reduce the time provided
for. We can do this in committee
of the whole.
Rep. Vogel, the Nonpartisan
League floor leader than joined in
the attack on the measure declaring
that it would tend to hold back the
pupils who were not taken out of
school for religious instruction as
provided in the bill. 1t would tend
to slow up the entire curriculum of
school work he declared.
On a vote taken without roll call
Il majority Of the house members
voted to Kill the measure. The
alton was put on in the same man
ner.
Coal Tax Proposed
Ten hills were introduced in the
house at the afternoons session,
one 'of them being the measure
which is being urged by number
of Ignite mine operators to put, Il
tax of one dollar per ton on all coal
having greater heating capacity
than $500 British Thermal Units
per ton, sold in, or brought into the
state. The effect of the bill would
be to put into effect an import duty
of one dollar per ton on all coal
brought in from other states, while
the tax would not apply to North
Dakota Ignite. The measure is un-
derStood to be intended rs a counter
move to the threatened boost in
Ignite rates.
The resolution calling for the
probe of the state highway commits
sion was introduced under the names
of Rep. Fine of Benson county, and
Rep. McCay of Sioux. 1t was read
by the chief clerk and was then re-
ferred to the committee on state
affairs for action.
The house adjourned early no
bills being taken up for third read
ing and final passage.

The religious instruction bill
which had the support of number

divided report from the committee
on ducation, the majority of the
committee recommending the passage
Of the bill, and the minority that it
be indefinitely postponed.
A warm debate Immediately en-
sued, when q motion for the accept

made. Rep. Twichell Of Cass county
pointed out that a number of persons
and organizations were interested in
the measure, and urged that it
should not be summarily disposed of
without their being given a chance
to be heard upon it.

Rep. Herbert Roberts, Nonpartisan
of Dunn county, demanded that the
bill should be killed at once. "The
full meaning of this bill doesn't
show on the surface" he declared.
"There is a motive back of it l be-
lieve. This motive is that some

THEIR POWERS
Scheme to NatiOnalize the
Child Seen in Agitation
Over Child Amendment
CREATES BUREAUCRATS
Letter to New York Times
Points to Real Effect of
Proposed Law

Especially pertinent at this tim
'hile the agitation over the ratifi
alton Of the Child Labor amend
nent is under consideration is
etter to the New York Times writ
en- by William Leverich Bro@er q
hat state. 1t follows:
l hope that the Child Labor
Amendment will be promptly re-
jected. The subject is one that
ought to be dealt with by the
States alone.
The Child Labor Amendment
undoubtedly was designed to
protect children from dangerous
and vicious occupations; but it
doesn't say so. 1t is not restrict
ed to children, to manual la
Dor, nor to hurtful and immoral
occupations. The amendment
tends to nationalize the children
of this country, thus introduc-
ing the immoral and destructive
practices of Russia. 1t would
create a power in Washington
which would be enforced by a
horde of Federal agents which
can thrust itself into every
home, question the right of the
parent to have his child work,
regulate the hours that the child
shall work or the conditions Of
his labor. Under it Congress
could prevent every person un-
der 18 years of age from doing
anything manual or intellectual
for compensation. Congress
could even prevent father from
ordering his boy to pick straw
berries for his breakfast.
The United States Of America
is not founded OF. a group of
people, but on an individual
the American citizen. The Con-
stitution adopted as basic law
of our country was erected from
the first word to the last on the
simple principle of acknowledged
ment of the right of every in
dividual to liberty Of person,
liberty of property and liberty
of contract.
The proposed amendment is
not an amendment to the Con-
stitution; it changes fundamen-
tally the system of Government,
and if Congress receives the
power to act there is no doubt
that it will fully exercise such
authority, because experience
has shown that not. only has
Congress on every question on
which it has received authority
to enact legislation gone to the
full limit, but in many instances
it has gone far beyond such
limits.
1t will be a sad day when an
other Federal bureau with its
horde of bureaucrats, United
States Marshals, spies and at
torneys are turned loose to en-
force an act Of Congress to pro-
hibit the labor of persons under
18 years of age.
1t is well to recall in legis-
lative bodies what happened in
November last when an aroused
public had an opportunity to eX-
press itself. In the case now in
question, these legislators will
also have to deal with the bitter
-
theirs and other members of
families. The writer is not an
employer of child labor.
