to overcome arguments against it by
saying it is merely an enabling act,
which would give congress the power
to regulate child labor. They point out
that today, after half a century of state
regulation, nine states permit children
under ii to work in factories; eight
etates permit children from IA TO 16
to work 9 to IL hours a day, IL states
allow such children to work until 5
D. m. or later, and "a states have prac-
tically no regulation of the employment

equations.
While children Is years old and
under in the textile industry decreased
50 per cent from 1920 to 1880, South
Carolina and Georgia reported 20 per
cent increase. Only federal regulation
can bring about change, say The
sociologists.
There are several puzzling things
about this amendment. One is that it
came suddenly to life in 1883, when IA
states ratified it. But the 1885 score is
only four states Sixteen states have
voted No this year, including Con-
necticut on March Is,
1t would seem that American peo-
pie ought to be able to earn liv-
ing without working their little chill
dren. We believe the argument that
the amendment would prohibit children
helping in chores about the home or
on farms is an insincere one and that
no such result would follow adoption
of the amendment. To be sure a reas-
enable amount of work is good for a
child but that work should not be nee
essary to add TO the family income. The
child labor amendment ought to be
adopted.

CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT
MAKES SLOW PROGRESS.

The child labor amendment TO the
federal constitution is making Slow
progress on the way to adoption. To
date "a states have ratified it, which
means that ratification by Il more
states, or one-third of the number, is

AN IDEAL GOVERNMENT.

IF we were asked to depict an ideal
social organization, we would say, off
hand, that ii would be one under which
any able bodied, intelligent man or
woman could always find work at
wages sufficient to provide for the ne
cessities of life and lay aside something
for old age, and after forty years of
work be able to retire on his or her
savings.
We think that government which
concentrated on those detectives and
on nothing else would come pretty near
to being an ideal government, Its corol-
larry functions might well include pro-
vision for the security of the thrifty
individuals savings, and such regula
ton of terms and conditions OF en-
ployment as would at least not impair
the workers chance of living to enjoy
the fruits of a life's work, and would
protect him on the one hand against
unfair competition by the workers Of
any foreign nation in which lower
standard of living prevails, and on the
other hand against exploitation by un-
principled employers.
Such an ideal government would pro-
tect every man in his right to keep
what he has earned, and as an es-
sential part of that protection, would be
administered as economically as pos
sibIe, in order that the burden OF tax
alton might rest as lightly and as
equitably as possible upon all its
citizens
This ideal government would make it
its first concern that every child had
an opportunity to obtain the best edu-
cation of which it was capable. If, in
spite of that education, it persisted in
making fool of itself as it grew up,
we do not believe that is any part of
any governments concern.
That is not to say that government
should permit the swindler to roam
unchecked it should not tolerate i'm
positions Of any kind upon the ignorant
and the unWary But we do not con-
ceive it part Of governments business
to recompense the victims of their own
foolishness and extravaganza.
The ideal government would neither
pamper its criminals nor allow such
SOIldl GUlluiliUflSs W tAlSt dS tSilu W
make crimes against the body polite
alluring to the young It would be a
government Of few laws, and those re-
strictive upon individual liberty only as
the exercise of that liberty infringes
upon the liberties of others 1t would
be adequately policed and its laws
would be rigidly enforced.
We do not expect ever to see such
a government, either in the United
States nor anywhere else. We believe
that what we have set down represents
in large measure what our government
is striving for We think that there are
too many people who want government
to do a great deal more than the simple
essentials which we have outlined, and
that progress toward economic recovery
is being hampered by too many law
yers and uplifters having a finger IN
the pie.-Exponent. Chagrin Falls, O..

BALTIMORE, August 3l-Work-
relief projects already approved by
Francis H. Dryden, Maryland works
progress administrator would provide
work for 23,503 persons during the
Winter, summary of the projects
reveals.
In addition, Public Works Admins
tration projects already filed with
Abel Wolman, regional P. w. A. di-
rector, would provide 26,903 man
years Of work. A man-year of work is
the amount of work necessary to keep
one man employed for one year
Not all of the p w. A. or w. P. A.
projects are expected to be approved.
On the other hand, more projects
are being filed every day. 1t is be-
lieved possible that the final amount
of work to be approved will approx
mate or be higher than the totals in
applications already on file.
The 23,503 persons who might be
employed on w. P. A. projects is al
most exactly the number of employ
ables in Maryland on relief. The Ca
pacity of the w. P. A. for absorbing
unemployed persons is based on an
arbitrary figure of six months work
per man, which would carry him
through April. In other words, there
are 11,752 man-years in the w. P A.
program. Most of these projects,
however, will not last a year. Further
more, it is expected that by next
Spring the flow of men from w. P. A.
to P. w. A. will be increased. For
these reasons, the w. P. A. figure is
based on the number of six-man-
month units.
