WHAT NEED EXISTS?

1t should not be an unreas enable
request to ask for showing of the
need of putting into the hands Of
Congress the power to limit and CON
troll the labor of children under 10
years of age in all the states. If
the need be based upon the absence
Of state laws governing the subject,
the basis is an extremely weak one.
In thirty-five states, including
Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa and
Wyoming, have laws which ventirely
prohibit" employment of children
under the age of IA years. In six
states, including California, Michi-
gan, South Dakota, Rhode Island,
Texas and Utah, it is entirely pro
hibited under the age Of IL. In
Montana it is entirely prohibited un
der the age Of l6. In six states it is
prohibited, with exceptions, thus:
Arizona, prohibited under Ia, except
a boy between the ages Of 10 to Ii
may work outside of school hours
at labor not harmful to him; Colo
RADIO, prohibited under a. but a child
OF IL or over may work during va
cation; Georgia, prohibited under Ia,
Il child of II or over may work on

ed mother (but IL such permits were
issued up to September l, 1920; |
Ohio, prohibited under lG, child Of
Ia may work outside of school term;
Washington, prohibited under IA
child of IL may work in case of pow.
erty on permit Of superior court
judge; Wisconsin, prohibited under
IA, a child of II or over may work
during school vacation This. is the
roll Of the 48 states. Is there q
need, under these showings, for al

such statutes of general application,

PEOPLES FORUM

With the recommendation of the
Governor, that the Bank Of North
Dakota may buy all assets Of closed
banks and advance the money there
on, say to the amount of seventy
five percent, SO the depositors in
closed banks would not lose so much
money, and the State should not lose
any, is rather hard to, comprehend,
the results thereof may be worse
than the six million dollar bond
issue scheme; the main issue is how
to ascertain the valuation of the
assets of the defunct banks, it
may go so far as to raise the money
under direct tax, and this should
be carefully considered by our law
makers; Of course l would like to
see every depositor in closed banks
get his money in full, however,
cannot see how this can be done
without imposing tax upon cit
liens, or taxpayers; Wild feel them
selves not obliged to pay another
fellows bill, and that would not be
Iall, this same stunt may come again,
to prevent it our present banking
laws need amending; as it now ex-
lists, the assets Of bank are supposed
to offset the liabilities, this of
course does not Sound bad, but
Why do our laws permit deposit
ing money belonging to public cor
porations ONLY in the Bank of
North Dakota without a bond?
What we need is laws that make
every bank Except the Bank of
North Dakota) in the State of North
Dakota file Surety bond with the
Secretary Of State for the amount
| it expects to. receive deposits, pay
able to the State Of North Dakota,
such bond should protect all depos-
itors, as we'll as public corporations.
Such law should also provide a
penalty for felony upon the pres
ident, manager or person in charge
of each bank in, the State of North
Dakota Except the Bank of North
Dakota), not less than ten years i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary of
North Dakota (no cash fine) for
taking deposits in excess of the
bond; provided, additional bonds
may be filed with Secretary Of
State.
believe that a law of this kind
would surely. safeguard the peoples
money against banks going closed.
We could cut that way the appro-
priation for the State Bank examin-
er which was $153, 10000, S. L. 1923.
lit would repeal the Depository
Guaranty Fund law originated ,in
1917 by the NJ. P. L. s(better known
as the State Guaranty law which
I think is absolutely no good, it
makes the honest banks pay fine,
and the operation Of it costs the
State of North Dakota, $18,8OO.00O
for two years, see S. +. 1923.

the porch when she saw them COM

"We are just bringing Mr.. Snow

that he was lonely. We're bringing
him into the house,
NO." said their mother, stake
him into the garage. I am afraid he
is a little damp and wouldn't be
good for carpets. A stone floors
the thing. He can't spoil that"
So into the garage they hauled
their friend.
"Well," said he to, himself. "At
least it's warm! And l have.a roof
over my head. And perhaps the
children will stay and play with me-"

"Now Mr.. Snow Man." said Betty,

| They brought out Buster, the new
fuzzy Christmas puppy dog, and all
the Christmas toys they could carry.
"We'll show you how everything
works." they said. "It's much more
fun than pipe and bowl and

Mr.. Snow Man had the time Of his
life. "This is what l call living"
he kept saying over and over to him
self. "Toys and dogs and children

After while the children were
called in to get dressed.
They took the toys and the fuzzy
puppy dog along. The Snow Man
was left alone on the sled in the
garage.
"We'd better go and see how the
Snow Man is getting along" said
the Fairy Queen to the Twins. "Per-
haps he's sorry by this time that he
made his wish"
So off they went, the three of
them on the blue butterfly and soon
they came to the garage where the
Snow Man was. The door was open
a little and they went in.
There was nothing left but little
pile of snow ont of which two little
merry eyes looked. They seemed to
say, We've been very happy"
"Well, my dears," said the Fairy
Queen, che was a good sport any
way. He knew what he wanted and

Where Both Sides AgreeyI
Vets and drys seem to be, for
once, agreed to put teeth into dry
enforcement-the drys in the hope
of accrediting and the vets of dis
crediting it.
Either way, it is good thing. 1t
will result in making people feel one
way or the other, and both sides -Ieel
that feeling is the whole thing.
But what is the matter with doing
some. thinking and finding out, as
we'll as feeling?> w..
For instance, if those who seek to
change a law that they do not like
would consult competent lawyers, to
find out what changes can be made,
! it would be interesting. -
When they learned that the
Eighteenth Amendment can never
be changed SO long as - states
favor it, they might investigate
which of the 13 dryest states is
likely to change it's mind.
Then, finding the amendment i'm
movable, and turning to the Volstead
act, they might inquire why the "a
"beer and wine' bills introduced in
the present Congress had mot u,
word about "and wine" in the whole
|S4.
They provided only for beer--and
subnormal beer, at that. So, learn
ing that their own attorneys had ad-
vised that any "and wine" law, and
even any normla-s trength beer law,
would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL, they
might consider what there is left to
agitate for. ,,..,.-.
A little clear thinking, on these
facts, might save lot of fuddHd
feeling.

Really, there is no inconsistency
The system is wrong, both ways. 1t
is wrong, collectively, that Con

out should continue to make laws
for them.
But it is also wrong, individually,
that the nation should be deprived of

In any other county, some dis

our incorrigible localism has pre-

HARMONY STILL PREVAILS

In spite of rumbngs and mutterngs in political circles
must be admitted by the most sceptca and cynical
in North Dakota politics, that Governor A. G. Sorie thus
far has pretty much accomplished his acknowledged nen
ton of bringing about harmony of action in the state egs
ature He has by his actions done much to eliminate
the extreme acrmony which has prevailed in the last few
sessions and which has often kept legislators of both fac
tons alike from expressing their conscience in matters
of legislation.
Governor Sorlie, when he has spoken has done with
good His recommendation with regard to the anti
cigarette law required courage The repeal of this law
is not important from practical standpoint since the
ent law little affects cigarette smoking but the Governors
wise observation of the foolish effect of prohbory laws
attempting to control the morals and habits of people
pletely may have good effect.
The chief executive has promptly set his foot down
bond issues for the state at this time and has insisted
upon appropriation bills being handled in the legislature
without log rolling trading of votes The Governors
stand for bond issues if necessary for state industries
does not coincide with his stringent demand for economy
since the two statements incompatible Yet there is
much to commend in his attitude toward raids the public
treasury.
It is to be hoped that the views which the
Governor has expressed regarding many objects will

sound and impractical schemes regarding taxation banking
and other businesses and industries of the state
