"P roc lit Ira Liberty through ell the land" The Liberty Bell Some Western Daniels On its way to the supreme court of the United States i$ a minimum wage case that will prove a hard nut for even 1that august body to crack. It is a case from the state of Washington,Jn-which the state's supreme court held very definitely that the contested minimum-wage-for women constitutional and "in the public interest." In the opinion of the Washington court, written by Chief Justice William J. Millard and concurred in by his associate justices, the following ywrds are used: "That the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited Jby-it to the states are reserved to the states, needs no citation of sustaining Authority. The police power of aVstate was not given to the federal government nor prohibited by the Constitution Consti-tution to the people of the respective states, hence it is one of the reserved powers. "It is true that Ihe employe and employee are de-' de-' prived to a certain extent of theirliberty to contract by the minimum wage Law. However, if the deprivation is with due process, if it corrects a known and stated public pub-lic evil, if it promotes the public welfare that is, if it is a reasonable exercise of the police power it is constitutional con-stitutional and it is a proper exercise of legislative power. V "The legal duty placed upon the employer by our minimum wage law is that he must pay women in his employ in wages a sum to be necessary for the maintenance main-tenance of the health as well as the morals of the employe. em-ploye. . ""Xf the wages paid equal or are in excess of the cost , of maintenance of a normal heaftiTstandard, the state's concern in the matter ceases. If the employex4ays less than the amount found to be the minimum cost of the maintenance of the normal health standard by virtue-of his more 'secure and powerful economic position, the transaction savors of exploitation. " . The action of the state legislature and of this court indicate that such cvillf do exist." Now the supreme court of the United States may, as it did irrtrje late lament edjninimum-wage-for-women case from New Ofork, find that somehow the delicately attenuated and hiddeA meanings of "the law" somehow nullify this forthright forth-right and. humane view of the case. But to an editor who is not so delicately attuned tp the line points of constitutional phraseology, it seems very plain ihat the Washington state sunreme court has stated the case ill terms of logic and simple justice. It is greatly to be hoped that the Washington c6urt has presented a case that will convince at least one justice of the highest court in the land for that would make the Washington Wash-ington mjiinum-wage-forrwomen law virtually the law of the nation. : : Marital Childishness , , r . . .

Congressman to Seek Third Term (Continued from Page One) restricted to ranking" members of committees concerned. During the past year Congressman Congress-man Robinson has served on a number of conference committees where legislation vital to the welfare wel-fare of the state has been considered. con-sidered. He has always taken a leading part In these deliberations and bis judgment is highly respected re-spected by his colleagues in both branches of congress. His opportunity oppor-tunity to serve on such committees commit-tees w51' of course be very much enhanced during his next term. Important Assignments During the past term he has served as acting chairman of the public lands committee, and if reelected re-elected he will be in line for the chairmanship of this important committee. Congressman Robinson has devoted de-voted much time to legislation pertaining to the sugar beet industry in-dustry and holds the record o. having served on every special committee which has considered sugar beet legislation. He was chairman of a large committee of senators and congressmen to which was entrusted the processing process-ing tax on cattle and sheep. The Utahn strongly opposed such a tax and the tax provision was finally fin-ally eliminated from the general tax bill which recently passed congress. - . Legislative Record A raong Congress Robinson's legislative accomplishments is the passage 6f a bill authorizing, the government to place under the forest service ajarge tract of land east oi .Provo, and appropriating money for the purchase of these lands, now privately owned. Through a recommendation of the public lands committee, of which he was a member, and acting act-ing chairman, more money was appropriated for national parks than ever before. Much of this will be expended in Utah. Mr. Robinson was also instrumental instru-mental in getting a greater appropriation ap-propriation for public roads than ever before. He was not only Instrumental In-strumental in getting a bill passed for roads and crossings, but he was appointed on a special committee com-mittee of five members to take the matter up with the president and also to handle and steer the legislation through the house and also the senate. The passage of this bill was extremely important. In the first place, no appropriation has ever before been made committing com-mitting the government to participate partici-pate in the elimination of grade crossines Under the, Cartwright bill, $50,000,000 was appropriated for this purpose. Larger Appropriation Likewise, no legislation had ever before been passed' permitting permit-ting the appropriation of federal funds for the construction of "farm-to-market roads." This bill carried an appropriation of $25,-000.000 $25,-000.000 for this purpose. The fact that Utah has been one of the most favored states in respect re-spect to loans from the P WA, the WPA and RFC, is in no small measure due to the work and influence in-fluence of Congressman Robinson. During his service as a congressman congress-man he has supported and voted for the public utilities act, the social so-cial security act, the railroad employees' em-ployees' retirement fund act, the independent grocers and druggists act, the Taylor grazing act, the soil conservation act, and the Walsh-Healey act. Supported President During the fouryears he has served in congress he has consistently con-sistently supported the Roosevelt administration, and because of his loyalty to the president, he has been placed on a number of special spec-ial committees where it has been necessary to confer with the president in worktng out some of the administration's leading policies. poli-cies. He has worked unceasingly for the Provo river project, including Deer creek, the diking of Utah lake, and the Duchesne tunnel. He believes that the money for the BY WILLIAMS Flapper Fanny Says REG.

"It's a long story," he repeated, "and it starts before you were born. Toby. More than 20 years ago. It's about a boy who grew up in a little New England town. A place where. nothing very important erer happened' unless, you. count the most important thing of all. men and women living useful, hardworking hard-working lives, raising families and teaching their children to be conscientious con-scientious and honest and unselfish.
