HALT CHILD LABOR
Capital Times)

Msgr. John A. Ryan, director of
social welfare for the National Cath
Ollie Welfare Conference, is the latest
public man to add his voice to the de-
mand for ratification of the child la
Dor amendment.
DR.. Ryan points out that, far from
being the project of radicals, the
amendment was drafted by such men
as Senators Walsh of Montana, and
Pepper of Pennsylvania, and was spon-
sored by Senator Shortridge of Cali
fornia.
He emphasizes the folly of permit
ting children to work while their ell
ders are on relief, and reminds us that
NRA's prohibition of child labor-in
some 500 codes-is not, as far as we
know, a permanent thing.
ut would be deplorable," he says.
IF this amendment should be lost now
that it is within sight of victory"
Twenty-fOur states have ratified it.
Twelve more are needed. The job
can be done this year, If friends of
the amendment do not relax their eff
forts.

TAXES
1.-THE Minnesota Leader)

valiently pleading for Big Business.
r. W. Hitchcock. Republican cam
paign publicity manager, sobbed over
the air on Monday night Of this week
that The iron industry is flat on its
back. It just can't pay any more
taxes Which raises the suggestion
that il certain industries were not
putting out so much for radio time
they might have more money for the
payment Of taxes
But Hitchcock and the iron ipdus-
try should get together on their
stories. In a recent advertisement
II boosted that it makes 10 per cent
net-in such times as these-and fol-
lowed with the statement that "For
ten per cent Of the returns On iron
ore the mining operator takes all the
risk Of a risky business" An indus
try clearing ten per cent On millions
certainly cannot be said to be FLAT
on its back"
The fact is that Big Business Of
all kinds wants to shift its burden
to the shoulders of the people gen.
orally. 1t would do that by several
methods. the sales tax and the gross
income tax, for instance. 1t would
close schools, shut down on relief and
curtail absolutely needful public ac-
tivities. It would openly defy the law
which provides for corporate excess
tax
1t will do anything to stave off
the Farmer-Labor plan Of tax levies
based upon net income. For under
that arrangement those with the larg-
est incomes. that is those best able
to pay. would bear most of the bur-
den and those least able to pay would

be taxed most lightly. That is exactly
what Big Business and the Hitchcocks
do not want. And all the muss, the
columns of newspaper TRADES, the alb
solutely false figures about Farmer
Labor extravaganza and the wild-eyed
tales shot over the air are principally
to confuse the people so that sales
tax or a gross income tax can be
clamped upon the state.
Anything to keep Big Business from
paying its just taxes.

A man with such ideals must in

Of a revolutionary shoemaker who

Into this work he put the same

he put into his work as q tent

In this aspect, Paul appeals to Us

so many sides TO his character that
probably we should ccnfine our
study to these two aspects Of Paul
as worker.
The independent spirit Of the

references that we have. to his occu-
patton.
1t meant a great deal that the
apostle Of q new faith could say
to those who were drawn 70 his
ministry that he had no motive
other than the glory and beauty
Of the Gospel that he had brought
70 them. How often the motives
that have occaSioned some great
new movement In religion have
been mixedl
One could hardly say that the
leader In such movement has not
been earnest or sincere, but one
has felt that mingled with elements
OF sincerity were regard for reward
and especially for money. The sue
cess Of O man or q movement even
In religion has sometimes been
judged by the amount or money
raised, and those who have adj
mired success OF that sort have not
always been critical even II much
Of this money went to q leader
himself or was under his own con-

One can think even OF great

laden with their money appeal, and
the result has been almost newt
ably that such movements were
materialized and lost much Of their
original fervor and spiritual reality.
