JOHNSON AND DAHL 322 N. First St. â€" Phone 77 Let there be no misunderstanding awbout this matter. In this discusâ€" sion there is no question of child labor involved in any wayy whether directly or indirectly. There is no movement in any part of this counâ€" try, or‘ could there be, to defend child labor or to protect those who would use the labor of children to their own profit and advantage. That which public opinion must be brought to understand is the effect of this proposal not.upon child labor, for that would be quite negligible, but upon our American form of govâ€" ernment, upon the home, the famâ€" ily, the school and the church. It is no . use to tell us that the purpose of this amendment is merely to give a certain grant of power to the Conâ€" gress and that the Congress would never dream of,authorizing any of these objeetiou.fio practices. Exâ€" perience has taught us otherwise.

This movement is still going on, but it has now been brought so clearly to public attention that it can no longer go forward without observaâ€" tion and debate. * that both houses of the legislatures of twentyâ€"six states promptly voted that this proposed amendment should not be ratified. In addition, during the years 1924 and 1925 at least ane house of the legislature in twelve other states also voted not to ratify this proposal. Public opinâ€" ion assumed, and justly assumed, that this proposed amendment was certainly and finally defeated, and it passed wholly from the public During the year :19383, however, those who were concerned with the life of the family and the work of the school under the supervision and inspection of federal officers, was so offensive to public opinion PAGE TEN K ing place day by day and almost hour by hour, a new and most seriâ€" ous situation will be forced upon the people of the United States against their will and almost withâ€" out their knowledge. this new proposal to multiply the activities of the federal government, to invade once mgain the just auâ€" thority of the states, and to bring Ten years ago there was subâ€" mitted by the Congress of the Unâ€" ited States a proposal farther to amend the Constitution by giving to the Congress the power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen years of age. .

It must be borne in mind that government has no possible jurisâ€" diction over a child merely because it is a child, and it is social revoluâ€" ton of the most extreme sort for any igovernment to attempt to exerâ€" cise such power. The parent is reâ€" sponsible for the child and, unless this responsibility be broken down A generation ago, when child laâ€" bor was, unhappily, too wideâ€"spread in this land, some argument for acâ€" tion of this kind might have found a reasonable basis. Now, however, when child labor has disappeared, there is no reason whatever for it and ‘every possible reason against it. ‘The states themselves usually forbid the employment of children under fourteen, except in agriculâ€" tural and + domestic service, and under sixteen in any occupation which is deemed hazardous.. Public opinion everywhere is unanimously against child labor. > % does confer a new and most Objecâ€" tionable authority upon the ‘Conâ€"« gress. Therefore, while the fundaâ€" mental constitutional objection to the Eighteenth Amendment does not apply to the soâ€"called child Imbor amendment, it should, nevertheless, be rejected, and promptly and finally so, on its merits or rather demerits. the following use of elecâ€" ttiCity: f â€" . _ Lighting, Radio, Electric \ I8s NOT iA FAD It is an exact cciencse thowsa Quality Cleaners RELIABLE_ LAUNDR DRY CLEANINCG co.
