C., Nov. 2.—(Spec- ial.)—The demand for a restriction of immigration is to be revived in the forthcoming session of congress under new circumstances and fortifi- - s ed with new arguments. To the con- . tentions suporting the vetoed legis- lation of the last two congresses the proponents of an immigration bar- rier now intend to appeal to the na- tional legislature ‘to take heed of " %America first.” * Of all the lessons for America in the European war;-say these advo- cates of the proposed legislation - there is. none more: important than the necessity of eradieating condi- tions which. have made. this country a hotbed of radical dissention, propa- ganda, plots; and crimes committed in the interest of the belligerents,': A St - Regard- Aliens Too Numerous iy e < : It is contended that the nation has sl t received a greater infusion of foreign S - blood than it can assimilate.

It is predicted that after the war a tidal wave of immigration will roll in on these shores. Congress has-been in favor of re- stricted immigration for many years, but its efforts were vetoed by Presi- dents Cleveland, Taff, and Wilson. Each time the stumbling block was the literacy test, and now the possi- bility of devising some Tless objection- able method of restricting the admis- sion of immigrants is receiving the most serious consideration. War Tests Foreign Born. The war has furnished a supreme test of the attitude of the foreign born toward the United States in many ways. It has shown that ‘the majority of those who have come from foreign shores in recent years prefer to be American citizens and are wholly loyal to the United States. It has shown that there is a large minority, however, which: neyer con- . templated- transferring alliance: In normal years it was disclosed that about one-fourth of those who sought the hospitality of the United ‘States came not to become citizens but to exploit greater opportunities and to carry back their gains to fur- nish the means of an easier existence at home. In 1914 the total number of immigrants was 1,218,480, while those departing numbered 303,338. In the first of the war 827,600 foreign eigners came to this country and 204,074 departed, the greater number of them to fight for their respective counties. ragraph and Picture : PAGE THRER ¢ ! P.

The Big Problem For The Farmer To Eliminate Waste The farmers of the United States produce annually $9,000,000 worth of food products for which the con- sumer, it is said, pays $27,000,000, In other words the farmer receives about 35 cents of every dollar that fhe consumer pays. { The consumer complains of the high cost of living, and the producer in many cases is not receiving a living wage for his labor. The middlemen and the transportation companies claim that they are only receiving a fair profit, and all that we know is that the producer and the consumer ‘are holding up both ends, the middle- men and the: transportation: compan- ies are playing safe, says. an eéx- change. : : Freight Too High to Ship We know fhat produce rots in the field because it does not pay for har- vesting, and only a few miles away are people: who can’t afford to buy the same kind of produce because the price is too high.

It seems that after a year of slaughter, with nobody gaining but the munition man-~ ufacturers and the money lenders it is time for a change. | A great many of those rich Ameri- cans (?) who became British subjects so they could associate with the “Blue Bloods” and hob-nob with royalty are now wishing they were back in the good old U. S. A,, since the Brit- ish government is taxing incomes so high. The Public Health Department of the U. S. Government has issued a statement to the effect that $50,000,- 000 are spent annually in this country for “hair washes, hair tonic, hair dyes, shampoo powders, complexion powders, moth and freckle lotions, face enamels, toilet waters, face creams, grease paints and many oth- er cosmetics, which are absolutely worthless. cents, dealers in Yavapai county were paying 40 cents. Instances of this kind are innumerable, and we are con- ! fronted with the fact that the min- ing towns of the state are receiving their food products from California, and paying prices which make it cheaper to use canned goods, whilg Arizona products find no market. Change Must Be Made The situation is chaotic, but some way is bound to come by which the producer must find out the needs of the consumer adn cater to them, and the middlean ust find some way of handling the produce in such a man- ner as to avoid the tremendous wastej some means. must be devised for a- products. ' more economical distribution of food The government promises some aid- in this respect, but the need is urg- i ent for ab etter understanding be- & tween the producer, consumer and U middleman, and o more hearty co-op-~ eration all along the line.—Arizona Farmer il DEAD AT 1.
