Question (q): you say you would prefer moderate labor and lower wages; are you pretty comfortable upon your present wages? joshua drake (jd): i have no wages, but two days a week at present; but when i am working at some jobs we can make a little, and at others we do very poorly. q: when a child gets 3 s.
