Definite Labor Standards

GAN FRANCISCO asks: why not let the De
~ partment Of Labor establish definite labor
standards. and give employers who adopt them
large income tax exemptions?"
won't go into the great difficulties Of uni
form standards, even in single industry. Vour
scheme at least has the merit of allowing an
employer to choose between it and high taxes)
My main point is that it is thoroughly bad
to use taxation as club for social reforms
Taxes exist primarily for the support of Govern
ment They should be so levied and collected as to
bring in the most revenue in the least burden
some way. For example, if many employers took
the exemption, the rest Of us would have to pay
more.

the homes when necessary. They clean things
up, deliver the babies and guard the mothers
through this trying time.
Another very important thing they do, if they
find the mother has syphilis, they can help to
cure her and to protect the baby. This terrible
white plague of ours should be stamped out
and stamped out quickly.
Take Maryland, for instance In 1885 the
Federal Government set aside for maternal and
child health services in that State just about
what the State voted in 1887 for conservation Of
wild life. Now don't tell me that ducks and deer
and the rest of the wild animals are as valuable
to civilization as children are!
All Resources Needed
WE must and should bend all our resources on
W this drive against syphilis. We must and
should have free maternity centerS for our poor
mothers where they can have healthy, normal
children. After all, remember that most Of the
jails are filled with poor young men and women
that never had a fair start in life, great many
of them syphilitic, underfed and illnourished.
America should protect and guard its future
generations because without them there is no
use working and building a great country that
will only end in ruin and decay, if these children
and the ones to follow are not brought up to
a high level of civilization.

includes a modern dwelling of four,
five or six rooms, barn and a
poultry house.
