Should We Abolish
The States?
The proposal that the federal minimum
wajre law be extended to cover jrrouj** of
workers—such as those jn retail trade—who
have iWen exempt ever since the law’s incep
tion is an appealinK one to many people, on
humanitarian grounds. But, understandable
as that is, the arguments against the pro
posed extension u r v powerful, and based on
priociple.
The question is not whether wage legisla
tion is needed to cover retailing and the other
service industries. If it is, the states are per
fectly capable of taking care of that, and
many have. The question is whether strictly
local businesses, which must compete on the
purely local level, and must deal with local
conditions and needs, should be governed by
an arbitrary federal ^aw which would treat
the enterprises of little country towns as it
would treat the biggest interstate businesses.
A little past history should be recalled.
ITesident Franklin Roosevelt, a staunch
friend of labor, in proposing a federal mini
mum wage law in 1937. said: “There are
many purely local pursuits and services which
no federal legislation can effectively cover.”
The sponsor of this original act in the Sen
ate was another staunch friend of labor—
Senator Black, now Mr. Justice Black of the
Supreme Court. He said: “Businesses of a
purely local type which serve a particular lo-
ial community, and which do not send their
products into the streams of interstate com
merce. can be l*etter regulated by the laws of
the immunities in which the business units
«-perate.”
This principle is as valid today as it ever
was. It is strictly in accord with the divisions
of governmental power in this country. If
federal law is to be extended into every area
of local life, we might as w*l) abolish the
states.
Beating The
“Summer Slump”
An executive of a big department store re
cently had something to say about how re
tailers can move goods, particularly during
the so-called “summer slump”’ He put it in
a jingle: • \
“Early to bed:
“Early to rise:
"Work like - - - -;
"And advertise.”
Then he dealt with newspapers as an ad
vertising media: “Newspaper Circulation
stays lip in the summer. There is no appre
ciable change in the number of papers dis
tributed. and this means thaj our advertis
ing will get full readership and may even be
more effective, because people are more re
laxed and Have more time to read."
No matter what the season—and in spite
of the emergence of newer forms of adver
tising media—newspapers remain a prime
vehicle for interesting people in goods and
services and persuading them to buy. You
can’t beat the written word.

such libraries. Andrew Carnegie showed wisdom in
selecting public libraries for his gifts. Whether, how

not know. Certainly, pubbe libraries now have great
competition from radio, television, and ‘paper back"

Scuffletown Townships from $320 to
$375 annually to be in line with oth
ers. This was oposed by Senator
Wasson, who said that the time for
the increase was before the county
appropriation bill was enacuted.
A request by officials of the mill
that the county take over streets and
sidewalks ii the Lydia Mill com
munity in v ew of the recent sale of
houses in th? village, was not acted
upon, pending agreement between
mill and home owners on some way
to have access to lots without build
ing driveways.
The Board of Commissioners was
directed to borrow approximately
$100,000 to pay school claims (sal
aries) for August until state aid
funds are received in September. It
was pointed out that this is normal
procedure, since salaries are paid
over a 12-month period and state
funds are received only for nine
months.
A claim for $230 by S. T. Martin
for surveying boundary line of the
Clinton area hospital district was or
dered paid from the contingent fluid.
Other routine claims for relatively
small amounts were ordered to be
paid.

hopes that he will kick down this ladder by which
we climbed; but let us be careful not to do this.
CONCLUSION
Churches, schools, and governments must realize
that we are living in a critical period. We must not
let these organizations become social clubs. We must
all work to make hardier citizens, anxious to render
service rather than to get profits or security. We must
not let our children become ’’softies.’’ If they can no
longer work in the cornfield or at the woodpile or kneel
at the church altar, we must give them something to
take the place of these great fundamental educators
