Coming up soon is even bigger
script news. In Washington, Geor-
gia's Sen. Richard B. Russell Jr.
made known certificate plan" he
will introduce at the next session of
congress to solve the farm problem.
Its gist: ..
The secretary of agriculture would
give growers certificates covering
their allotted portion of a normal
domestic crop. For example, a cot
ton grower who got 200 pounds from
each of his 10 acres over the pre-
vious five-year average, would get
certificates for that part of his 1000
pounds which is ordinarily sold do
mestically. To purchase this cotton,
domestic buyers must also buy the
certificates, paying for them the diff
ferential between the market price
and parity price. If the parity price
were Is cents and cotton sold at 10
cents, certificates would cost five
cents pound.
Biggest advantage of the plan is
that it lifts the burden of parity
payments from government Shout
ders. Disadvantages: (D 1t is
merely a disguise for unpopular
processing taxes, and would ulti-
mately raise costs to consumers; (2)
it still leaves the export problem
unsolved.
Other farming news:
q Revised and extended to July 81,
1910, was the wheat export subsidy
program. Under the old plan, gov
ernment-purchased wheat was sold
to exporters. New plan: Export
ers will buy wheat direct from mills
and elevators, seek a foreign mar
ket and advise the agricultural de-
partment how much subsidy they
need to finance the export.
q Corn crop estimates were placed
at 2,45O, 1888, 900 bushels, or Ill, O00,-
900 bushels under the previous
months estimate. Reason: Hot
and dry weather. Meanwhile win
ter wheat estimates rose from 547,-
767, 900 bushels to 550,710,000.

there is every reason to expect that

The Criminal Court jury returned

Child Labor Law
Would Be Eased
For Minors on Stage
Commissioners Offer
Amendment to Exempt
Youths Over Ia

Amendment of the Districts child
labor law to permit children IA years
of age or over to appear in approved
theatrical or musical productions is
proposed by the Commissioners in
a bill sent to Speaker Bankhead.
The city heads hold the change is
both desirable and necessary, and
reported that the Budget Bureau
had no objection to presentation of
the bill.
Under present law, no child under
IA is permitted to work in any gain
full occupation, except housework
performed at home after school
hours and agricultural work, after
school hours, at home.
The present law also forbids girls
under 18 and boys under 16 to be
employed after 7 pm. and forbids
either girls or boys under l8 to be
employed after 10 pm. except in
agricultural or houseWork or in the
distribution of newspapers.
The purpose of the amendment,
the Commissioners explained, is to
authorize the Board of Education to
issue work permits to children be-
tween IA and 18 years old, to per-
nit the minors to appear on the
stage of licensed theater in any
professional travelling theatrical pro-
duction or in a musical recital or
concert. This would be subject to a
restriction that the minor could not
appear after II pm. or for more
than four hours in one day or more
than % hours in one week.
The Board of Education would
have to be satisfied the production
or recital was not offensive to pub
lie decency and that the parent or
guardian had made provision for
adequate educational instruction
and for safeguarding the minors
health and morals.

Justice Bolitha j. Laws of District

OFT, we'll known to Washington
lawyers by reason of his five years

on the verge of tears as sentence

an earnest plea for probation. The

he considered his client had COM

pleaded guilty to counts of the
