By
Senator Arthur Capper
of Kansas.
Petitions signed by more than
$35,000 persons have been receipt d
by nie praying for a repeal of the so
called Daylight Saving law by Con
gress. The law may have served
some useful purpose during the war,
but the emergency occasioning its
enactment has passed and it should
now be repealed in response to the
popular demand provoked by its
manifest injustice, especially to the
farming community. l,have a bill
asking Congress to repeal this law
at once.
The demand for repeal is based

Client ar.
The opposition to the law from
the farmer's point of view is stated
well in this letter from J. D. Nichols,
a practical farmer, of David City,
Neb.
"I have a good many acres of al
falfa and, as every farmer knows,
you can't work in hay early in the
morning, for the dew is too heavy.
It is 10 o'clock "new" time before
we can gtt into the field and then in
the afternoon, when the hay is fine
to work m, every hired man will
throw down his pitchfork and quit
at 6 o'clock, which is only 5 by rights
And here is your wife getting
supper for 18 or 20 harvest men in
the heat of the day, sweltering over
the hot stove, in order to let the hired
man have his "afternoon" off, you
might say.
The small children going to school
with two miles to walk must be
dragged out of bed at the time when
they most need their rest, startinc;
off at 7 o'clock in the morning,
which is really 6 o'clock, and return
ing again at 3, in the heal of the day.
with the sun bdiling down on their
heads."
The daylight saving law so-called
is a detriment even to the hired man
who gets his "afternoons off," as
this farmer puts it, for with a long
evening ahead of him. he hops in a
buggy or a motor car, goes off to
town to the pool hall or movie
theater and "blows in" his wages as
fast as he earns them.
Artificial regulation of time has
worked as disastrously in Canada as
in the United States, but Canada
remedied the defect this vear by
repealing its law by a vote of 105 to
51, in its House of Commons.
It is up to the United States Con
gress to do the same and relieve in
dustry of this unfair burden at the
earliest possible moment.
