WASHINGTON NOTES More Immigration Restriction* Washington, Aug. 19.—(Special cor respondence)—Senator Dillingham ol Vermont has introduced a bill that will add further restrictions to our im migration laws, as well as simplify the question of Oriental exclusion and re move the more or less indefinite gen tlemen's agreement now pertaining to Japanese immigration. Under the measure the number of aliens to be admitted to the country each year would be limited to five per cent of the number of each nationality already here. The bill also repeals all special laws relating to immigration from China, Japan, and other Oriental coun tries. By so doing, however, the door will not be opened to increased Asiastic immigration, because the number al ready here is very small and a five per cent annual increase would be negligible. Future misunderstandings with Japan und China in such matters would be obviated, for the reason that the bill treats those countries exactly as it does every other nation. For several years Senator Dilling ham was Chuirman of the Immigration Committee of the Senate. He ulso headed the Immigration Commission of some years ago, which gathered in over forty volumes the most comprehensive information on the subject that is available. The Senator is a specialist in the matter of the admission of, foreigners to this country, and the l measure he has prepared and introduc- I ed is the result of the extensive study) he lias given it. By reuson of his long i service on it, Mr. Dillingham is pro-! bably the most influential member of I the Senate Immigration Committee, und the fact that he is sponsor for the proposed legislation is proof that it will receive the close attention of his fellow committee members. Joshua in 1919. President Wilson for the second time lias vetoed the daylight saving repeal bill declaring ‘‘the pressing need of the country is for production by industry." Why, it was only the other day he ap peared before Congress and gravely informed that body that the lowering of food prices was our pressing need; und the farmers request the repeal of j daylight saving in order that they can avail themselves of more convenient hours and thus add to the food supply. That extra hour in the morning means that the fanner can not work in his grain until the dew dries off. Why could not the industrial centers achieve the same result as that derived from the daylight-saving clause, by going to work at six in the morning, instead of seven, while the men who work at the J desk open their books at seven instead ' of at eight ? That is really what they are now doing. But nature prevents; the farmer from profiting by the extra hour, is it Mr. Wilson’s ambition to emulate Joshua six months in the year and make the sun stand still one hour a day? Scathing Indictment When Senator Miles Poindexter was a prosecuting attorney out in the State of Washington, he never introduced evidence more conclusive in the convic tion of a defendant than he did as a Senator, when, on August 11, 1919, he placed before the Senate and the coun try the complete evidence showing the encouragement President Wilson has given the Bolshevists in Russia, in the United States, and throughout the world. It is a large amount of explicit and authoritative evidence, chiefly, from the President’s own utterances, too voluminous to be presented in these columns. Every American citizen who believes it his right to pass judgment upon the official actions of his public servants, should get and read a copy of the Poindexter speech. Pleasant Reading It is a nice thing for the American people to think about, that men of the United States Army had to raise in a hustle the $15,000 ransom demanded by the capturers of those two Ameri can army aviators. Contrast that with what happened when the bandit, Raisuli. captured Perdicardis, an American citizen of Greek extraction. T. R. sent his famous cablegram, ‘‘Per dicardis alive or Raisuli dead,” and the former was returned safe and sound in a hurry. There was no “watchful waiting” those days, and Morocco was considerably over the; ”3,000 miles away” which Secretary of War Newt Baker regards as our margin of safety. If the Administra-, tion had any shame remaining it j would go down in its jeans and reim burse the army officers who paid the to hock some of the presents received from European royalty. Waking Up Department of Justice attorneys are convicting themselves every time they convict u profiteer. The profiteering , has been going on for months. If they can convict the guilty persons now, they could have convicted them months ; ugo. There has been no recent change ! in either the law or the facts. Mr. Palmer would do well to check up the | efficiency record of some of his sub ordinates. Also, President Wilson ! would do well to check up the efficiency record of his Department of Justice. ■ Procrastination One trouble with government owner ship is that all government operations proceed, or, lug, rather, under the general rule, “Always put off until to morrow what you are not compelled to do to-day." School Children and Teachers Go To The State Fair Every school child in this county, whether in public or private schools, and every teacher in public or private schools, can have an opportunity of attending the state fair at Pueblo this year, on Friday, September 2t»th, by attending school and receiving one 01 jthe free tickets that have been sent to Mrs. Litter, county superintendent of schools by the State Fair Commis- Ision. | The school children of this county 'should not fail to see the largest and best fair ever held in the west, includ ing a live stock, agricultural ami gen eral display not equalled west of the Mississippi river. The speciul entertainment feautres provided for this fair will make it worth traveling a thousand miles to see. It will be a chance of a lifetime. A railroad rate of one and a half fare from here to Pueblo has been arrang ed for, round trip. Annual Financial Statement of School District No. One. County of Prowers.
