The Smith Labor Bill.
This measure continues to slumber
in the Committee on Education and
Labor in the Senate where it has
been pigeonholed since passed by the
House on December 8. There seems
to be considerable misunderstanding
as to just what this measure provides.
This is indicated by considerable
number of letters protesting its enact
ment. The Smith bill deals only
with industries engaged in war pro-
duction and in no way affects nom
war activities. The measure would
do away with the closed shop, and
time and half and double time for
overtime in war industries for the
duration and it is quite generally
recognized that we will have to come
to it if we would attain maximum
production, which is necessary to win
the war. Those who are fighting
the enactment of this or some similar
measure are unwittingly helping the
Axis powers. 1t is hard to under
stand why the President and his ad-
visers should be willing to assume the
responsibility for not passing legis-
lation that is so vital to our success.

It recently leaked out that there

It may be necessary to set up an
international police force to maintain
peace after the war has come to an
end but I do not believe that any
one can seriously contend it will be
necessary for us to scrap the Con-
stitution of the United States and our
form of government to prevent future
outbreaks. Then, too, when this war
is over our markets will be flooded
with products of all sorts that will
be dumped on us, regardless of cost,
to create dollar credit.

The Crippled
are Entitled
to Education

Education of all the children
of all the people," is a principle
of education which is expressed
in words which have become
very familiar to all of use. This
idea has been further expressed
by the Crippled Children's Bill
Of Rights. 1t states, Every
Crippled Child has the right to
an education"
The White House Conference
report on the number of crippled
children in the United States es-
Inmates that there are more than
three hundred thousand such
children, at least one-third of
whom are in need of special ed
ucational facilities.
If there is one crippled child
per thousand of general popula-
ton who stands in need of spe-
cial education, it is evident that
many cities in Michigan have
enough crippled children to
form at least one special class.
Mount Clemens may well be
proud of the fact that they were
one of the first to see the need of
children in their locality.
The Orthopedic class in this
city was organized in 1927 and
during the years since then near
ly eighty children have been en-
rolled in the room. A few of
them obtained most of their
school education in that place as
they were continually unable to
attend regular rooms. Many
others have spent short periods
Of time, or perhaps several years
there, following time spent in a
hospital. If it were not for this
orthopedic room many children
would never have had the oppor-
tunity to attend school.
Children are admitted to the
Orthopedic Room following the
annual examination and recon-
mendation in writing of an Or
thopedic surgeon. For child to
be eligible for a special class "he
must need special services and
special equipment" These in
clude transportation to and from
school, special seating, and treat
ment by a physiotherapist. Chill
dren suffering from cardias con-
difons are eligible.
The County Physiotherapist
has her office in the school and
is there twice a week to give
treatments and exercises. This
is done only on the recommends
ton of the Orthopedic Surgeon.
Glasses have varied in size
from year to year, the largest
enrolment being sixteen. That

I'VE have found" G orge
said, that we can't depend on
the individual and corporation
income tax to yield the major
share of the additional levies.
We are going to have to get a
substantial part of them from
some form of taxation which the
Federal Government is not now
trying"
He then mentioned the posi-
bility of sales taxes, payroll
taxes or some other method.
The Senate committee chair
man said there were obvious
difficulties to be faced in an at
tempt to drain off more rev.
enues from business concerns,
particularly since the revenue
of a great many of these firms
already had been reduced by the
loss of materials through priori-
ties.
BADLY CRIPPLED
MANY of the smaller corpora
tions, and some of the larger
ones as well, are going 20 be
badly crippled by this war pro-
gram" he said. "Not all of them
can be converted to war work
and many of them are going to
have to be shut down."
He said there was room for
the imposition of a "supertax'
on war profits made by those in
dustries holding direct or indi-
rect contracts with the govern
ment. While this might raise a
substantial amount of revenue,
he predicted that it would be Off
set in part by the loss of rev.
enues from corporations which
did not obtain such contracts.
George said recently that he
was opposed to any reduction in
the present personal exemptions
on individual incomes, now set
at $3.50 for single persons and
500 for married couples. He
said then, however, that in
creases in both individual and
corporation rates were almost
certain to be made.
