RED TAPE. ENEMY OF JOBS

In spite of all the employment created
by the national defense emergency, one
of Americas greatest problems today
remains the plight of young people who
for the first time seek adult employment.
Employers more and more are INSIST
ing upon older employees. because the
youngsters are not trained to work; they
have no foundation upon which To estao-
lish successful Job.
Boys and girls, growing up IN the
American tradition that light pleasant
work for teen age youngsters IS good
foundation for later Jobs, today find It
increasingly difficult to find those light,
pleasant tasks.
Why?
Why are employers avoiding wherever
possible the employment Of boys and
girls, as well as young men and women?
The answer is. Red Tape. Following
paragraphs show what it is. They are
the text of a mimeographed notice sent
out to Imperial Valley employers over
the signatures of E. l. Hiteman, county
superintendent of schools, and Leon Ber-
ger, deputy state labor commissioner.
The rules set forth are no fault of these
two men, they are merely doing their
job as the law requires them to do it. The
document is helpful To employers, as it
was intended to be- Yet it is perfect
demonstration of why employers, avoid
ing expense and delay, are no longer en-
ploying young people as they used to.

WASHINGTON, July 24-If the
class in dizzy arithmetic will nov
come to order, an effort will be made
to explain why the wheat farmers
in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas. ILL
noiS. Indiana, Michigan, Ohio,
PENNSYLVANIA and Virginia-to men
ton just few states, are now hold
ing Congress and screaming in an
guish over the 49-cents-a- bushel
uish over the 49-cenIs-a- -apushel
wheat penalties slapped on the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administration.
To understand this simple little
problem, all you have to do is take
the case of one farmer who has eN-
ceeded his triple-A acreage allot-
ment this year, and see what can
happen to him:
Making it easy suppose Farmer
Friend has a wheat acreage allot-
ment of 100 acres. Don't ask who
decided Friends allotment was only
100 acres, or how or why it was
fixed at 100 acres, for that would
only add to your confusion.Just take
it that a representative of the man
with the Whiskers came around and
told Farmer Friend that he could
grow wheat on Only an even hun
dred acres.
Farmer Friend, however, figuring
rightly that there would be a good
market for wheat this year, de-
cided to grow wheat on 125 acres,
AN EXPLANATION, PLEASE
Friends average yield on wheat
has been. say, 10 bushels to the acre,
but this year. what with too much
rain, his yield was only five bush
els to the acre. Instead Of getting
a normal 1000 bushels on his al
ioted 100 acres, he gets only 625
bushels on 125 acres. You might
think that since his total yield is
still under his normal yield, ii
wouldn't make any difference, but
it isn't that easy.
The government told him he
could grow wheat on only 100 acres
So, he is permitted to sell without
penalty only the wheat grown on
those 100 acres, or SEQ bushels. The
other 125 bushels is what causes
him tho trouble
AAA recommends that Farmer
Friend store this 125 bushels. II
he stores it under seal or MS own
farm, the government will pay. him
7 cents a bushel the 1lrsj year,
plus 5 cents more the second year.
II he stores until April 30, 1913, the
government will pay him u cents
a bushel, or SIS just for keeping
his own 125 bushels OF excess wheat
off the market. If shortage should
develop before the expiration date,
the government might permit him
to sell it.
In storing the 125 bushels, the
farmer has to put up a personal
cash or surety bond or get a couple

velopment of plans 50 that waste paper and the other materials in- volved may be made available at once."
 MT. Henderson stated in recent telegram to national scout head quarters that there is & critical shortage of waste paper for the manufacture of much-needed paper board, and that the situation pre- eentS grave problem for national defense. He appealed to the scouts to assist the regular agencies of collection of waste paper.
 Working Agreement
 National headquarters of the Boy Scout organization agreed to assist in the campaign, and has sent cir- cularJ of information and inStruc- ton to the local council, among others, recommending the reaching of working agreement with regu- lar dealers in waste materials as to prices to be paid, and conditions un- der which collections are to be made.

national drive would be formulated at Q meeting of local scoutmaSters at Camp Mattatuck on the after noon and evening of october 4, which has been called to arrange the entire scout program for the coming year.
 He explained that similar projects of waste paper collection had often been carried on by individual troops, in order to repleniSh their treas urieS, and that scouts would be doubly eager to participate in the project now, since it would be of great service to our national defense No proceeds from the sale, he point ed out, can go to the local council treasury, which Is conStitutionally forbidden to use scouts to solicit money to pay incidental council ex- penSes.
 MT. BahSon stated that the Wa terbury scouts will make every ef- fort to reduce to a minimum any interference with the routine opera ttonS of such agencies as the Sal- vatton Army and the Good Will In- dustrteS which regularly collect and dispose of waste materials through waste paper dealers. The efforts of the scouts will be merely supple mentary.
 Reading Material
 Current periodicals, according to the scout executive, will not be col- lected in this campaign, as they are at present gathered systematic ally and sent to reading rooms, aos- pitalS, army camps, and other places where they can be of value. All other types of waste paper which have salvage value are desired.
 There will be no formal opening of the campaign throughout the country, but each scout council will launch its drive when preparations have been made, and scout lead- CTS in the community informed of the purpose and nature of the work to be done. The project is not to be one of a definite duration, but one which will continue until fur- taer notice throughout the country.
 HouSeholders in Waterbury who wish to aid this campaign can do their part by searching through cellars and attics for waste paper, and by refraining from burning old papers, and thus making ready for the collection by Waterbury,s scout troops, which will start early in October.
