mifsion or other administrative or leg
islative budy would sit to examine into
the facts and decide what a proper
minimum wage should be. This
amendment puts the whole thing into
the constitution and leaves it there
complete.
Anyone desiring to employ a boy
must tay him a minimum of 1 a
week for six 8 hour days. If the em
ployer iermits a boy to worn longer
than eight hours without added cum
pensation, he would be liable for
prosecution.
A cripple, an old man, an inellicient
man all must be paid at least t for
eight hours. No judgment is permit
ted to legislature or employer to decide
whether it is public policy to permit
cripples, old men and boys to be em
ployed at all if they are not worth H a
day.
No girl can be employed until she is
able to make herself worth $l!0 for a
4H hour week.
No watchman can be employed ex

an 8 hour (lav.
An inexperienced woman may not be
employed in an office at addressing en
velopes or other clerical work within
her capacity unless she can prove her
self to be worth $20 a week for a 4rt
hour week.
Tips evidentlty are not taken into
consideration, so a I'ullrnan porter or a
waiter or waitress who receives tips
would still be paid the minimum, or
the employer would be BUbject to line
unl imprisonment.
No apprentice, worthy hardly his
salt while he was learning his trade,
could find any employment unle-s he
was able to show himself worth $i for
an H-hour day if a hoy or a 48-hour
week if a girl.
No doctor would be peimitted to pay
less than $20 for a 48-hour week for a
girl to mind his office.
No lawyer would be permitted to
encourage a law student by giving him
employment in his law office unless he
paid him a minimum of $4 a day for
an 8-hour day.
No provision is made in the bill for
the army of boys, girls, inexperienced
women, old people, ciipples, physically
unable or other clasres w ho are unable
to make themselves worth anywheres
near the wage fixed in this constitu
tional amendment. No discretion i.
given to the legislature whereby em
ployment may be made po.-sible for
these numerous classes who are
brought under the ban of unemploy
ment by this proposed amendment.
While the measure obviously is
worded by a legal expert, it is equally
obvious that the expert who worried it
and the promoters who are bucku tr it
intended to make it nittile-s.. The
weaklings who are unable to earn tu
minimum specified are to be left un
employed, to become paupers and
charge upon the community. So far as
Oregon is concerned, there is no hope
for them to engage in industry. The
farmers enn't use them in hard w 01 k
on the farm, anil women are too heait
less to tolerate weak sisteis in domes
tic service, so they me doomed to
spend their lives in idleness and de
pendente.

Scarcity of print paper is becoming
acute. Associations of publishers are
alarmed, and efforts are being made to
bring about a curtailment in the use of
"0 much paper. Congress, it seems, is
about to take a land, and a law has
been introduced to increase five times
postage rates on newspapers in excess
of 24 pages. We are not worried over
netting in the increased rate class.
Hut the increased price of news print
nits the small paper proportionately
