The New Immigration Law
Three Per Cent a Year
In a recent House and Senate con
ference of Congress a restricted Emi
gration bill for one year from April 1
was adopted. It Is roughly on the
basis of the Gulick percentage plan.
Immigrants to the number of three
per cent of those now in America, on
the basis of the 1910 census, will be
admitted, apportioned to the various
European countries.
Under the law the largest number
that can enter the country from a
broad will be 355,000, of whom 200,000
can come from the United Kingdom
and Northwest Europe and 155,000
from other parts of Europe,
Only a Temporary Measure
This Is confessedly a temporary,
emergency measure. The Immigra
tion problem is a difficult one, with
much to be said on all sides and many
clamorous interests to say it. There
are, however, four main Interests
which have taken a strong and influ
ential hand in the discussion. They
are: the American Federation of
Labor, They declare that countless
men are idle, because out of work,
why bring in more to aggravate the
evil? The American Legion fears
the demeaning and degrading effect
of uneducated and alien masses from
Europe. We have more of that kind
than we can assimilate now, why
bring in more? On the otffer hand
employers have very generally favor
ed a large Immigration on the ground
that American industry needed the
labor. Finally there are still a good
many generous and well-meaning peo
ple who insist that America should be
a Home and asylum for the down
trodden and unfortunate peoples of
Europe.
There Should Be An
Immigration Commission
The Survey suggests that no hard
and fast rule can be satisfactory for
any considerable length of time, since
the conditions are always changing.
There should be a permanent Immi
gration Commission which shall have
power to regulate immigration accord
ing to the needs of the country. This
plan has been adopted by Canada and
It works well.

RELIEF SENT TO
MENGS ON PALMYRA
Friends of Col, and Mrs. William
Meng and Edwin Benner, who have
been isolated on the island of Palm
yra, one of the Fanning group, for
nearly five months, are anxiously
awaiting word from them, says the
Star-Bulletin.
The party went to the island last
October to develop it as a new copra
source. Following miscarriage of
plans to have certain copra schooners
call at the island at regular intervals,
and the alleged refusal of the Pacific
cable board schooner Tangaroa to
make a visit there, local representat
ives of the Palmyra Copra Co. appeal
ed to Admiral W. R. Shoemaker of
Pearl Harbor for assistance in learn
ing of their condition.
Admiral Shoemaker in turn took
the matter up with Washington and
dispatched the collier Nero to
Palmyra on March 19. No word
from the Nero has yet been received.
The Nero is the first vessel to
touch at Palmyra in five months
and with it went a large supply of
foodstuffs and gifts from local
friends.

Let Us Rebuild Your Old Tires
The life of a tire is not ended when the tread is worn out. To discard it is
to throw away the greater part of its value.
With a Miller Ad-On-A-Tire, for a fraction of the original cost, your tire
can be made practically as good as new. And it makes it an oversize tire
with all an oversize tire's advantages.
Our process rebuilds any make of tire with new side walls and the Miller
Geared-to-the-Road tread. This famous tread meshes with the road and
produces positive traction. Every ounce of driving power is utilized, for the
wheels do not slip.
The Miller Ad-On-A-Tire is actually a part of the tire. It is railt with
several layers of fabric and high grade rubber. It fits snugly, and cannot creep
Let us re-mile your worn tires with the Miller Ad-On-A-7'ires B.-mg
them to us today, and we will showyou how to' get miles and miles ot
additional service. . "
