AMENDMENTS
UP JULY 16
Texans to Vote on Increas-
ing Governors Salary,
And 9 Justices

AUSTIN, Tex, July 6.-tF-
Texans. nearly always adverse to
amending the state constitution un-
der which they have lived so peace
fully and happily throughout many
years, ere asked to make changes
in two portions which have been un-
altered since the document was first
penned.
On July is the voters will pass on
the propositions Of raising the SAL
airy Of the governor from $4,000 to
$4,000 annually and increasing the
membership Of the supreme court
from three to nine.
A previous effort to amend the
constitution in order to pay the gov
ernor more money was defeated.
In fact. until lately, Texans had an
adversion TO amending the consti-
tuition, and it was a difficult task
to get authorized an alteration.
IF the old document was good
enough for my father and grand
father it is good enough for me-" Ii
an expression frequently heard wher
the matter of amending the con-
stitution is preached.
But, the fact that the "old docu-
ment" provides for a $4,000 salary
for the governor indicates that times
have changed considerably since IL
was adopted, advocates Of altera-
tions argue.
In the event the amendment in
creasing the governors salary Is
adopted it will not become effective
until January. 1881, at the end OF
Gov. Moody's term.
The present occupant OF the ex-
ecutive mansion has repeatedly de-
clared that he would not approve
any resolution calling for advancing
the amount Of remuneration re-
ceived by the governor unless It was
provided it would not take effect
until term for which he had been
elected had expired.
Many lawyers are advocating the
amendment increasing the member
ship on the supreme court to nine.
The present court consists Of three
members, a supreme justice and two
associates. But. In addition there
are two commissions Of appeals, con-
sisting of three judges each.

on the campus Of the University
CT Michigan, where one Of the new
Ford station wagons is used as a
conveyance for students to and

Due to the Ian on automobiles

transportation became so keen that
the station wagon was purchased
by the flying school and placed on

few miles from the Tulsa Municipal
Airport. The station wagon is the
Model A Ford type that can be
used either for passengers or haul
ing. It Is being adopted by summer
hotels, schools and seaside resorts
as we'll as by airports.
Officials of the Flo School OF
Flying report that aviation has
taken a strong hold on the Mich
igan University students, many Of
whom come to the field at every
opportunity for passenger rides.
Others have enrolled as student
1iers. The plan is to provide a
mean for students in the course
Of aeronautical engineering at the
University to obtain also a prac-
teal experience in flying.
The station wagon accommo-
dates saven persons and usually
may be seen loaded with students.

Child Labor Pays Them.
There are some more officials of
the N. c. L. C. Space is short; a
glance shows they are mostly preach
ers, directors of social work and col
lege professors. How will these
stop child labor? They are living
well on salaries from the class that
fattens on child labor, are trusted
to function in its behalf. l think
they will be faithful to this trust.
Servants, obey them that are your
masters"
It's Profitable.
Their own figures show that the
biggest profits are in the states
where children are most mercilessly
exploited. The ten states with the
greatest percentage of child labor,
Mississippi, South Carolina, Ala
bama, Georgia, Arkansas, North
Carolina, Rhode Island, Texas,
Louisiana, Tennessee, are exactly
those states where employers are
advised by chambers of commerce
to come because labor is "docile, in
dustrious and unions are unknown"
They are, in general, the new tex
tile region, and textiles, next to ag-
riculture, is the best field for child
labor.
Child Labor and Ignorance.
These ten states are also the ten
with the greatest percentage of IL
literacy and the lowest percentage of
school attendance. Cause and effect.
Child labor is the cause.
Employers in general, needing the
traditional prejudice for book learn
ing, have solved the "illiteracy"
problem to their satisfaction. In II
states educational requirements for
children forced into the factories are
legally less than sixth grade school
ing. In nine more states, they are

Committee on Junior Education and
En- 'yment.)
Why?
Well, not to educate the children.
Even in the model continuation
schools of California, children forced
to attend four hours once a week,
don't learn anything. 1t is a peda-
gogical impossibility. In New Yorl:
and other ordinary continuation
schools, instruction is a joke. There
are unwieldly crowds in the few
schools provided and nothing is
learned. AS a matter of fact, most
of the children don't usually attend.
Their employers advise the children
to play hockey" If they don't stay
away from school, they get fired for
something else.
But the continuation school has
another purpose. Children may be
forced to avoid the schools, but the
schools provide the employer with
perfect excuse for cutting wages, on
the grounds that attendance breaks
up the office routine.
Real Exploitation.
So children don't learn, but they
do work. And how they work. Not
being organized, and theoretically
living at home, anyway, they get
wages about one quarter those of
adults, doing the same wol.i. That
means unemployment for the adults.
Children may legally work 81 to go
hours a week between the ages of
Ia and 16 in ten states. In Connec-
ticut they can legally be worked So
hours week in stores. In Montana
a benign law allows them to work
"a hours day, outside of mines and
factories, as soon as they are 16.
That's all the hours there are. 1t
is useless to go on thru the list, for
the law has very little to do with
the matter. Capitalism makes prof

during the first fifty years of the
factory system, this is doing as much
for the children of U. S. A. and all
capitalist countries.
While capitalism lasts, except for
the bits of relief that an active and

talism, the mere fact that child la
Dor is immensely profitable will
keep most of the slavers deaf to any
appeal from fearful and forward
looking officialdom, will immunize
them to canned prayers, will make
useless the pitiful and well-meant
gestures of the National Child La
Dor Committee. Big business knows
that machinery is displacing labor,
it can afford to kill few million
children.

Communist. He wants to strike at
the root of this evil, which is CAPT
talism itself. He wants to abolish
all work for children in dangerous
occupations, for children under 16,
and he wants the work-schools of
the Soviet Union sort after that.
And he means to get it, not by
prayers and the singing of "Ameri-
ca" but by sterner weapons far.

its on child labor, capitalism owns
the courts, the inspectors, etc. There
fore the only laws which are obeyed
are the laws which capitalists make
for the children, in their factories.
The ten hour day is not unusual.
Children work, and they die.
"The Federal Children's Bureau
in three industrial states, Wis
consin, Massachusetts,, and New
Jersey, reports there were in one
year in these states 1854 COM
pensable accidents to minors under
IS, of which 7 were fatal, and 319
resulted in permanent disabilities.
The injuries included loss of arms,
fingers, thumbs and toes, as well as
more serious handicaps.
'In New York, during the year
ended June 80, 1925, the number of
accidents to persons under IS years
of age totaled 1,74s, or 2.3 per cent
of all industrial accidents. Thirteen
cases resulted in death or perma-
nent total disability, and 318 re-
suited in permanent partial dis
ability, of which three were to chill
dren under Ia years"
These injuries increase. They are
far above the rate for the same
number of adults. A whirling bob

The strike was started against the

made by the company. The regular
work day is nine hours, but to COM

Coolidge Is Now Leading the Quiet Life; After
 Six Months of Retirement, He Says Future Is Past

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Sept. Il When Calvin Coolidge left the White House six months ago, this city wondered if he actually would settle down" in the two family house at 21 Massasoit street.
 Today, however, finds MT. and Mrs. Coolidge apparently well es- tablished in their half of the home which the former president had rented since beginning his political career here. Their daily routine differs little from that of their neighbors.
 Like most Northampton citizens, the Coolidges are early risers. Breakfast is served in their old fashioned dining room by Mrs. Alice Reclaim, their housekeeper for nearly 30 years.
 By 8 o'clock Mir. Coolidge goes to his office at 25 Main street which still bears on it's window tilC lAlli LII NOOlluRG N Hemenway, although his erstwhile partner is now conducting the law business alone.
 Occasionally MT Coolidge walks more than mile to work, but usu- ally his chauffeur, John Kukoski, takes him in the limousine he used his last term at the White House.
 From 8 until nearly noon, MT. Coolidge is busy going through his voluminous mail He dictates re- plies to his secretary, Miss Mae Hayes.
 After dinner-for most North ampton folk have their hearty meal at noon, with supper" at night-Mr Coolidge rests for half an hour, often taking a nap. He usually is back at the office by 2:30, where he continues working until or 5.
 Contrary to an impression that ] prevails even in Northampton, MT. Coolidge is doing no more writing

days vacation the time he took seat in the Massachusetts Sen- ate.
 Sundays the Coolidge's usually attend morning worship at the Ed wards Congregational church, sit ting in the Coolidge pew, on one side of the auditorium about 12 rows from the pulpit.
 Many tourists take pictures of the Coolidge house. There have been instances where tourists have taken snapshots of more elaborate homes on nearby streets, in the belief that they were photograph ing the Coolidge residence.
 Although MT. Coolidge rarely appears at public functions in Northampton, he and Mrs. Coolidge occasionally dine with old friends. These informal affairs are not made public by either host or guest Days afterward, word may spread around that "the Coolidge's were at so-and-so's for dinner Thurs day"
 Aside from monthly trips to New York City to attend meetings of the insurance company of which he is a director, MT. Coolidge's quiet daily routine goes on. With one of his rare smiles, the former president sums up the sit uation with the brief comment:

NORMA TALMADGE IS AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

"The Dove" Willard Mack's suc- cessful stage play, had the honor of being Norma Talmadge's choice for her first production for United Artists. It comes to the Liberty tonight.
 The play was produced by David Belasco on February II, 1925, at the Empire Theatre, New York City. It proved to be another BelaSco sensation and made a star o! Judith Anderson, who played the role Norma Talmadge has on the screen. Holbrook Binn was Don Jose Maria, the part now played by Noah Beery. Johnny Powell, the fine young American, acted by William Harrigan, is portrayed in the picture by Gilbert Roland. Ro- land made his first great success as Armand Duval when Norma Tal- madge brought Camille to the screen.
 I This is the third Belasco part to be played by Norma Talmadge, 'Kiki" and "The Heart of Wetona" being the other plays. Belasco de- scribed the characters, Dolores Ro- nero, as a very beautiful and fiery Spanish girl-an entirely different part from Miss Talmadge's last picture, in which she played the Tragic Lady of the Camellias."
