M 1 Graft in CWA
IN southern California a democratic leader has charged
graft in administration of CWA. He declared there was
occurring a great waste of public money, "nothing less than
a public scandal", the use of the relief for personal ends and
. ambitions, and a betrayal of the president. These are serious
charges and Ac!niinistratcr Hopkins has ordered an investi-
gallon.
Undoubtedly in an organization erected as hurriedly as
this one was there will be waste of money. In fact the theory
' was pretty much a' "waste" of money on projects not imme
diately urgent, although desirable, in order to provide imrne
diate relief for unemployed. But we do not believe there is
. much graft in CWA. Public spirited citizens have devoted
hours and dkys to planning and supervising the work. Their
labor has been one of service and not of profit; and they have
sought to use! the money to provide the relief so much de
sired and at the same time to spend it on worthy jobs.
V From our own observation we feel that commendation
is due to the citizens' committee and to the operating staff as
well. In fact of all the alphabetical combinations CWA seems
h to us to be the one which is really touching the spot. The mes
, sage sent by 110 workers to the president from here last Sat
urday was not just a formal expression of gratitude. We
doubt not it came from the heart.
,' While one may question the whole idea of using public
funds for such purposes and while the actual working out of
the plani may interfere with workers in lower paid indus
' tries, and some may be overpaid for their skill; yet men and
women are beingset to work and are being paid currency
which is good in the markets for life's necessities.
' Child Labor Amendment
mWENTY states have ratified the, child labor amendment
JL which was first submitted
ratified last winter ; others, one by one, have fallen in line,
j" 14 in 1933. Sixteen more states must ratify before it becomes
' effective.
Then 'a fine question may
gible lor inclusion in the constitution though many years
elapse since it was submitted.
presumably there is no time
' Recognizing' this, congress has
life of pending amendments.
proviso that affirmative action by 36 states within seven
years would be required to make the amendment legally
.' adopted. With still 16 states to
diately pressing.
A revival of interest in prescribing child labor has come
with hartl times and general desire to preserve employment
for adults and heads of families. NBA cades have gone far
toward abolishing child labor, doing at a stroke what friends
of children were unable to accomplish in years of effort
Theoretically the subject is one for uniform state action ; but
- some states hare been backward both in legislation and in
enforcement.
' - Under the child labor amendment congress would have
power to prohibit, limit and regulate the labor of persons!
- under 18 years of age.
Courts and Emergency Legislation
,-TT is not surprising that the supreme court upheld the Min
A nesota statute which extends the right of redemption on
foreclosed property until May 1, 1935. Only indirectly could
this be represented as a breach of contract. The previous law
made the time limit one year; and the legislature would seem
to have authority to make the change which it ordered. Chief
J ustice Hughes said in the majority opinion :
"Wlille emergency does not create power, emergency may
furnish the occasion for the exercise' of power".
It is plain that the judge holds that the Minnesota legis
lature was. not assuming powers it did not have, but exercis
ing power which it had to meet an emergency. ,
- The courts will probably be lenient in the interpretation
of the constitution when applied! to emergency legislation.
But this does not mean that they are ready to suspend the
constitution; and to permit legislatures and the executive to
;, assume powers which constitutions denyihem.
Chief Justice Hughes evidently h o 1 d s the balance of
power in an evenly divided court We believe the people of
. the-cotmtry, .both cunsei v atives and liberals may nave confi
dence in Mr. Hughes, not only in "his character and in his
sympathies, but in his knowledge of law and "his firmness to
stand by conviction. - y.

attributed to alarm, leat a still

Frances Fuller Victor said in her

almost copying Bancroft's Oregon
History:
"Chief John was a bolder, firm

than any chief west of the Cas

civilised costume, he presented an
appearance not very different
from that of many a hard work

niece in hi, ear, saw him spring
to the curb, as she came down-the
steep little flight af Stairs from the
bus top. A moment later his arm
was linked through her arm, ; he
was smiling down at her in the
old, contented way.
"You look tired, honey," he said.
as he helped her up the step, of the
low-swung roadster and dropped
on the making leather cushions at
her side.
"I am, tired."
"Is something wrong?"
"Everything is," she said and
took the plunge. There must be no
more meetings between them.. Ju
lian objected.
"Julian objects! That's a laugh,'
said Clark, half annoyed, half
amused, wholly unconcerned. The
girl's face did not lighten. "Sure

"surely you arent serious. You're
not going to let him get sway

The silence deepened between
them. Patricia was. staring at the
shiny metal of the dashboard. Clark
regarded her anxiously, perturbed,
his forehead drawn in puzzled lines.
The girl raised eyes that shone
with tears.
"I cant do anything else, Clark.

That's all right for him. He's a

shocking, deliberately unmoral no-

you're loyal to him. I admire you

that you approve of his methods.
"I don't know what I approve

Clark decidedly. "You're far too

Despair chilled the girl. She
shook her bright head.
"No, Clark, no. I'm staying with
Julian."
He, had been holding her hands.
He dropped them now. He was sud
denly convinced. With his convic
tion came hurt and anger. They
were still parked on the side-street.
People were hurrying in and out

They were talking like strangers.

'Arent yon going te stay for
lunch?" he asked politely as he
might , ask a casual acquaintance.
"Or have you a date for bridge? I
wouldn't like to interfere with your
career.
"I wish oh how X wish that you
could understand. Fve been a cow
ard, Clark. Some day youH know
I've been a coward."
She waS gone. Clark was to re- 1
member long afterwards the plead
ing, frightened look in her eyes, the
grip ef her cold sad desperate fin
gers. Just now he was remembering
that she had said goodbye and that
she had chosen to leave her destiny
in Julian Haverholt's hands.
"It's all over," thought Patricia,
as she walked dazedly down the
white, hot street. "It's all over be
tween Clark and me."
The days went on, wretched days.
Patricia tried to lose herself and
te forget her misery in a paste

became hard and shrewd and cal

from bridge. Wouldn't yon like to

me to keep in practice? Arent you
afraid we might not win that beau
tiful, shiny cup?"
"Do I deserve that, Patricia?
What are you trying to do? Are
yon trying to put me through
aa inferno?"
She looked at him. Her smile
was mocking.
Td love to do just that" she
told him softly.
