THE CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT. (From St Louis Globe-Democrat.) The child labor amendment to the Federal Constitution is again before the Missouri Legislature for ratifica tion or rejection. It is a proposal than has never met the appruval of the legislative authorities of this state, and it should not now be approved by them. Nothing has occurred since the amendment was originally sub mitted to the states by Congress to alter the fact that it would place in the hands of the Federal Government an unlimited power over the children and the youth of the country, making them subject to any regulations that Congress might devise at any time, or to any regulation that an admin istrative bureau, given broad author ity by Congress, might promulgate. It would in effect deprive the states of the power which properly rests in them under the Constitution, and where it can he exercised judiciously in accord with local conditions and public sentiment, for the prohibition of children from employment actually detrimental to their welfare. It would open thp way to an intolerable bu reaucratic interference in the homes of the land, making them a free field for social experimentation. Ten years ago. when this amend ment was first under consideration, the Globe-Democrat in opposition to it, said "The amendment would give to Congress the ‘power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons un der 18 years of age.’ That would con stitute an absolute power over all child life. It would, in effect, make the children of' the country the wards of Congress to be controlled as Con gress at any time might see fit. It would give it the right to enter the home to regu.late the family, to pre vent the labors that are required in the average home and that are nec essary to the discipline and the ex perience of the child itself; to prevent the labor of the child who may be the sole source of support of a widow ed mother; to prevent the labor of a. child fired with early ambition to make his way in the worrd, the kind of children from whom have come our greatest and most useful citizens; to prevent the labor of children on the farms whree their labor is usually heeded and where it contributes great ly to the making of sturdy manhood; to create, if it pleases, a nation whose children are idlers, compelled by law •< ' -t- r.( .7oU mo , ‘inpr’led by jaw 6 d ri -pert foe labor, which is the foundation of all Mr Ac. st'f no reason to change that opinion To * e .-.tin . we. re told now, we were, told ther, that. Congress would exercise the power eiven to it with moderation and reasonableness But, who can say what Congress would consider moderate or reasonable? The power must he given to be used, else why giv it at all? When the child labor proposal was before Congress, numerous attempt was made to amend it so as to limit its exercise hut all were defeated. It is to be noted that the amendment gives to Congress the "power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons un der 18 years of age.” It does not say that Congr«ps shall have the power to limit, regulate or prohibit employment of persons under 18 years of age. La bor is not necessarily employment. A boy working for his father on the farm, o ra girl cooking In the home, labors but is not employed. The amend ment gives to Congress absolute pow er over all labor of those under the specified age. Moreover, it gives the power not merely to limit or to pro hibit but to "regulate.’* It. can say to every boy or girl, you shall not work under any circumstances; or you shall be permitted to work only under, certain limitations of time or conditions; or if permitted to work at all, it shall be in accord with the re gulations prescribed by law. And this can be made to apply to labor as well as to employment to labor in the home, to any labor which a boy or girl wants to do for himself or her self, as well as to employment in a factory or a mine. The Supreme Court has declared that any power granted to Congress "may be exercised to its fullest extent.” It is the presumption that it is meant to be so exercised, and our hisorty gives abundant proof that Congress has never failed to utilize a’l the powers placed in its hands by constitutional amendment. In these days of radical social ex perimentation no one can say how far itm ight be persuaded to go in the "regulation” of the “labor" of the children and the youth of the land. Os course, there is back of the de mand for this amendment a worthy humanitarian sentiment. There should be restrictions upon the employment of children under conditions that are detrimental to their health or normal physical development, or that deprive them of the opportunity to obtain ed ucation. But the states can, and most of them do, provide such restrictions. Indeed, every state has some sort of child labor law. To be sure, some of them are totally inadequate, but the pressure of public opinion is rapidly solving the problem of injurious child labor. In 1910, 18 per cent of the chil dren of the country between the ages of 10 and 15 were gainfully employed, according to the United States census, while in 1930 only 4.7 per cent were gainfully employed, nearly half of these in agriculture. There is there fore no real ned for federal intei*- ference in a task that the states have all the necessary powers to accom plish. that many have accomplished and that all of them will have ac complished before very long, under ‘h« urre of increasing public demand. j The .-hi id ’.”><■> amendmei t should jr & lli>A h jr TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES 1770 —Tristam Burges.

DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1985 TRICK LICENSE TAG URGED UPON STATE Appropriations Committee Appealed to for SIOO,OOO Expenditure. Bully I>lN|»ateh llurenn, In Ih«* S|r Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Feb. 26.—The appropria tions committees have been asked to adopt tlie “trick’’ automobile. license tag now in use in Mississippi and Florida wnich is supposed to be non removable from a. car, once it has been attached to it, and which was rejected by the Division of Purchase and Contract about a year ago as not being worth the additional cost, it was learned here today. It could not be learned whether or not the appropriations committees have de cided to adopt the new trick license. It is known that the company which manufactures this license, and which is patented, has a lobbyist here work ing for it and that if it could get this license adopted it would mean a con tract that would amount to about SIOO,OOO a year or more for this com pany. The present license tags now in use which are manufactured by prisoners in a factory located within the Cen tral Prison enclosure here, cost the State about $25,000 a year, this a mount including the cost of the steel, enamel, ink and labor. According to an estimate, obtained today from the Division of Purchase and Contract, the cost of making the supposedly non-removable auto license tags would to at least $75,000 a year more - ;-e tin the ~ost of the present 1 up to at least Mition ‘o hav ' no additional steel for the various parts of the tag. two specially designed bolts go with each tag, so that more than 1,000,000 of these spe cial bolts would have to be used. These bolts and the other parts of the plate would also increase the ship ping weight and the cost of mailing out the tags. The main trouble with these trick tags, according to those who have examined them, is that they are real ly not non-removable. The contention of the manufacturers of these tags is that it is necessary to destroy them in order to take them off a car, thus making it impossible to shift plates from one car to another. But when the State tested these tags out. it turned some over to some of the for mer "expert" automobile stealers out at the State prison. These prisoners demonstrated that the tags could be easily removed without damaging ihem. Revenue Bill Now Expected Monday (Continued rrom Pag** One.) committee a report of their tax pay ments over the past several years. "The truth of the matter,” said the doctor, "is that they are not paying their share and they are afraid to show just what they have really paid.” Opponents of the McDonald plan question the accuracy of his es timates although McDonald contends that they were compiled by the State revenue department. The ex-college professor, youthful in appearance despite his caliing and title, said that the anti-sales tax bloc has made "some converts in the fin ance committee,” hut reaffirmed his statement that the fight against the administrations proposal to re-enact the sales tax will be deferred until the revenue hill reaches the floor of the House. —OUR YESTERDAYS- When Decatur Gave The Toast ' Our Country ; Right or Wrong ” i ,i. 111.11 — ■■ . > The U. S. S. Constitution. MANY PUBLIC speakers with nationalistic feelings have used the popular expression, "Our country, right or wrong,” but few persons know its origin. The saying was made by Stephen Decatur, who eompianded the U. S. S. Constitu tion, better known as "Old Iron sides”, in 1815 during its success ful expedition against the Barbary pirates. In April, 1816. as a mem* HOOVER VIEWS NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE Congress Rejects His Gold Theory, Though He Fav ors Property Rights, By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staff Writer New York, Feb. 26. —'Strange as it may seem, the pronouncement of For mer President Hoover that the dollar should be placed back on a gold ba sis—at the devalued sum—pleased manye persons who had bitterly op posed Hoover in office. The former president himself is said to have a growing belief (hat the people will begin to appreciate his money policy (or was it Ogden Mills’ policy?) when it is "to late.” From a purely property point of view Hoover’s views are looked upon as sounder on money than President Roosevelt’s—although both men are determined to save property rights. The property people however, believe that the Roosevelt policy will lead to inflation and confiscation. Certain it is, Congress will have nothing of the Hoover views—and Congress probably represents a cross section of the mass of voters. Con gress is for going far beyond any Rooseveltian money measures. It must not be forgotten, critics say that a tariff Hoover signed has been counted as one of the chief strang lers of business, hastening and ad ding to Ihe world depression. MEW ON Anrew Mellon is not relishing that tax hearing in Pittsburgh, in which he is pressing his appeal against the government’s endeavor to collect more than $3 000,000 in income taxes. Nor has former President Hoover been relishing it, we imagine. Mellon’s confidential secretary ad mitted that Mellon while secretary of the treasury, sold stocks "short.” Thai is while President Hoover was denouncing "short” trades as causing a collapse of prices. Then, too, while Mellon was secre tary of Ihe treasury he maintained his private tax adviser, D D Shep pard. in the U. S. treasury building in Washington, near his own office. Sheppard had been hired by Mellon from the treasury department. The government attorneys also ac cused Mellon of "wash" sales and of kiting personal checks to escape fed eral income taxes. THE POWER OF DEATH In Germany Adolf Hitler, dictator, now has the sole power to commute death sentences. NEW ECONOMICS The new economics of Ihe world are best represented by a cartoon in “Le Canard Enchaine,” Paris. “This new machine,’’ says a demon strator, “is the last word in progress; imagine—it will destroy 1.20 n quintals* of wheat an hour!” Work-Relief Bill To Pass Congress, Sec’y lekes Says (Continued from Page One.) This was immediately challenged by Eugene Grace, the president. Congress was warned by Chester Davis, farm adjustment administrator, that unless the AAA unquestionably can support marketing agreements with license, the marketing agreement method of bringing farm recovery is virtually worthless. 1846—William F.
