VETERANS' STATE AID FUND
OF unquestioned interest to voters of the state who at the
special election of Tresday, June 7, will decide the fate
of the World War Veterans' State Aid Fund is the follow
ing excerpt taken from the argument in favor of the bill which
is published in the voter s handbooK issued oy trie secretary 01
state. The report bears the signatures of Senators Norblad, of
Clatsop county, and Eberhard of this district, and Representa
tives Leonard, Johnson and Hammond. It is as follows:
"The legislative assembly at the last regular session passed
the act providing that each veteran of the world war may bor
row from the state up to"$3,000 in the manner hereinafter ex
plained, or may receive a cash bonus of $15 per month for each
month of service up to a total of 500. In the lower house the
vote was unanimous. In the senate there were but two dissent
ing votes. To provide funds for carrying the act into effect it
also was necessary for the legislature to adopt and submit to the
people for their approval this constitutional amendment. The
act, while passed by the legislature and already signed by Hon
orable Ren W. Olcott, governor of the state of Oregon, can be
come effective only if this constitutional amendment is adopted
by the people.' Otherwise, there will be no money available for
making the loans or paying the bonuses to the service men.
"The legislative act must constantly be borne in mind in
connection with the constitutional amendment. One point in
particular is material. While the constitutional amendment au
thorizes loans to veterans 'in amounts up to $4,000, the act
passed by the legislature fixes the maximum loan at 3,000.
Therefore, $3,000 will be the largest amount that any service
man can borrow from the state.
"To be qualified to receive a loan or bonus it is necessary that
the service man was a resident of the state of Oregon at the time
he went into the service of the United States ; he must have been
in the military or naval service of the United States between the
date on which the United States entered the war, April 6, 1917,
and the date of the armistice. November 11, 1918. Further
more, he must have served at least sixty days. Conscientious ob
jectors and those who served only as students in training camps
are barred. Approximately 25,000 men went from the state of
Oregon. Some are dead in France. Others for different rea
sons will be unable to avail themselves of this state aid, but
there are many thousands anxiously awaiting the decision of the
people of the state, whether or not they will be given the oppor
tunity to overcome the industrial and financial handicap they
suffered as the result of their patriotism."

THE legal standards adopted by the various states to protect
children from the hazards of too early employment are
Bhown by a chart recently issued by the U. S: department
of labor through the children's bureau. ,
In all except four states the minimum age for work at least
in factories and often in many other employments is placed as
high as 14 years, and seven states Jiave an age minimum of 15
to 16 years. Exemptions exist in most of these states, but they
apply in many cases to children employed outside school hours
or during vacations.
Twenty-nine states have recognized the eight-hour day
standard for children under 16 by prohibiting them from work
ing longer hours in certain occupations, or by extending this pro
hibition to all gainful employments, usually, however, exempt
ing housework and work on farms. Of the other states, nearly
half limit the working hours in the regulated occupations to 54
or less a week. The 11-hour day still exists in two states, with
a weekly maximum of 6 hours. Forty one-states have some pro
hibition of night work applying to children under 16, and of
these 17 prohibit such work without exemptions, except in some
cases for agricultural pursuits and domestic service.
Eighteen states, including some of the principal industrial
states, require a child under 16 to have a physician's certificate
of physical fitness before he can obtain an employment certifi
cate, and 10 others permit the certificate-issuing officer to im
pose this requirement in his discretion.
For work in mines the general minimum age standard is 16,
but 10 states still permittheemploj'ment of boys 14 years of age,
and six have no minimum age for such work.

Further, there is a waiting list of
some 100U persons seeking divorces
wiO'ii the judges have lnue to spare.
The Priti.sri divereo court is partn-f
the high court of justice, headquarter
ed In London, and "The Probate. Dl
oive anil Ailruii'al'.y Division" as it is
called, is run by fir Henry Duke,
preuleut of the division, and two high
court puls. One. of these is always
re(itiretl for admiralty or probate
(wills) cases, so that hitherto there
has hardly ever been more than two
courts workingjit the sajne time. Hrit

week-days except Saturday, and the
intervals between th9 various law
terrn-s are lengthy. So trerrtendotis

chancellor to tackle divorce cases .
Lord Mersey, the retired octogen
arian law lord, and one of Kngland's
tfrealest divorce judges, also came out
of his retirement and volunteered to

astonishing speed.. Now as many as

divorces at an unprecedented rate.

Ten Children in Nine Years
WASHINGTON. May 31. (Stipitnl
News Service) The Department of
.ducatlon bill is now before tho urn.
ate, the tneusure having been Intro
duced by Senutor Sterling, or South
Dakota. Thus, both bonnes of con
gress now have forinully be Tore them
the ipiesllon of whether the (depart
ment of education measure shall pre
vail, or a substitute In the form of a
department of public welfrtre -measure
stu h as Is now before tho senate. Sen-
utor Kenyon, of Iowa, sponsored the
hitter bill.
Conrerencea looking to tho har
monizing of differences between tho
supporters of the two measures la the
hope that a compromise bill may b
agreed to are continuing. Should
such a hill not be finally agreed "to,
both will be pushed, and time only
will tell which shall be udoited.
Since tho Introduction or the educa
Hon measure In the senate Impetus
seems to have been given to the tui
tion wide movement back of It, and
petition! caillng for Ita support are
rolling In to members.1
Id the lower house. Representative
Towner, of Jowa, the 'author, seems
to have such strong backing for his
bill as to indicate Its approvul by
that body. Hearings on It before the
house commltteo on education, pre
liminary to a formal favorable re
port are expected soon. This comtull.
tec reported out the bill during Die
last session, favorably. The argu
ments set foiih as Justifying the re
port, It Is said,' have gone far to po
pularize, the measure.
According to information received
hy lahor leaders. Secretary of Ijibor
Davis will oppose the placing m la
bor welfare activities, such as tho
employment service anil the children'
and women's bureau, under a depart
ment of public welfare. This is pro
posed in the Kenyon senate bill.
