sentatiYes comprising the Eouse contingent OF
the - ut Congre ssional Committee on Immi-
grafton have agreed upon bill to regulate i'm,
migration. Chairman owen will report the bill
as soon as possible.
In explanation of the general features of the
measure, owen to-day said: sit is new con-
tract labor law. The old law is 50 wretchedly
lAeincient that according to the testimony OF
the Labor Inspectors themselves, 25 per cent. of
tns immigration now coming to this country is
IN violation of the contract labor law The
statute was framed TO meet the condition of
thi2gs that existed at the time the law was
passed The employers have changed their
methods and the law is unable to reach them.
IL IS practically useless, so we have framed a
new lay. We have also very much enlarged
the mn b!ted classes Of immigrants
The bill is substantially that introduced a

THE LOGIC OF FIGURES.

According to the statements of the
bureau of statistics the foreign immigra.
ton into this country last year aggregat-
ed 49,, 3S1, in numbers and from coun.
tries as follows: Germany SO, 53S, Eng
land. 6S. 503, Ireland 60.375. Canada g.
500, Poland Russia IS, $40, Sweden 81, 415,
Scotland 1926, Norway 1880, Den
mark $500, Switzerland 1910, France
5,91S. The foregoing figures afford mat
ter for profound study by political econo-
mists. The two European republics fur
nish the smallest number of immigrants.
and it is safe to say that the bulk of emf
grafton from those as well as the other
countries over there, came to the United
States. This is an ungetoverable argu-
ment in favor of republican or popular
form of government. And not only so,
but it also carries with it the idea of a
proportional increase in population and
in wealth in the republics. The French,
it is alleged, are not as prolific people
as the Germans, but if Germany loses
her natural increase Of population and
France retains hers, as the figures quoted
clearly show, it will not be many years
until the latter will be in physical condi-
ton to successfully cope with the former.
To change the form of government in
the monarchies and establish republics
in their stead would not, probably, stop
the immigration therefrom altogether,
but it would unquestionably check it in
a large measure.

THE EMERGENCY RATE.

The Capital republishes the EAGLES
views in full touching the result of the
emergency rate and it also expresses the
following view editorially:
1t may not be the most popular thing
to say at this time, but the Capital does
| not believe this emergency rate will
prove blessing to the farmers of Kan
sas, Nebraska and Iowa, but ON the con-
| trary we believe the direct result will be
to force the price of corn lower than ii
was ever known to De in the great mar
kets of this country.
What is the solution of the corn
problem? We believe it to be some
thing like the following: For the
farmers to hold every bushel of their
corn possible. For the farmers
organizations in every county, by CO.
operative offert, to build immense corn
cribs at railroad station, furnish a
bonded weigh master, store the corn and
secure upon their receipts OF corn stored
such advance from the local banks as
their necessities require. This would en-
able the producers to control their own
crops. In all human probability the
price will advance during the summer,
and particularly will this be true if the
great corn growing district embraced by
Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa force their
surplus on the market at this time. The
intention of the emergency rate is all
right, but the control of the great mar
kets is beyond the reach OF the produc-
ers except in one way, and that is in
holding their crops and selling when the
demand forces fair price. and this is
the business end of the problem we urge
upon the farmers of Kansas, individually
and through their organizations.
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1890-02-14
THE MOST PROFITABLE CROPS.

J. r. Graham, of Emporia, formerly a
newspaper man Of that city, has been
studying the reason why so much Kan
sas farming is Improbable, and finds it
in the kind of crops planted. The value
of winter wheat averaged 81 per acre;
corn, Sc. 10 per acre: broom corn, SCI. 20
per acre; tobacco, 500 per acre; cotton,
s22. 13 per acre. Mr. Graham thinks
that the farmers of the southern tier Of
Kansas counties ought to devote their
land entirely to cotton. II Mr.. Graham
was no more practical in his newspaper
venture than he is in his ideas of farm
ing it is no wonder that formerly pre-
cedes the mention of his avocatien.
From the showing he presents of the
relative pro6tableness of the crops named
he should have recommended the adOp-
ton of tobacco as the one great staple.
Yet our champion agrlculturisU would
himself no doubt pronounce the farmer
who should do so fool. Wheat and
corn are shown to be the least profitable
of any crops grown, yet no country that
will produce them can afford to abandon
them altogether. The principle of di-
versifying crops is not a theory nor a
new discovery; it has been demonstrated
repeatedly and oft, and to the extent of
proving that the most thrifty farmers
are those who adopt it.

AN ENCOURAGING SHOWING.

About seventy of the 106 county
treasurers in Kansas have made their
semi-annUal settlement with the state
treasurer at Topeka. Almost without
exception they report that the payment
of taxes this year has been more prompt
than for several years past. In many
counties the amount uncollected is from
3 TO % per cent less than any previous
year. This may be taken by many as
unmistakable evidence of better state
of affairs, financially, in the state than
has been generally supposed to exist;
but, whlie we are inclined TO the same
belief, it is not necessarily the case.
Taxes must be paid, and knowing this it
is not improbable that many have met
that obligation at the earliest moment,
SO as to have it off their minds and
hands should the situation become more
strained. But the more CHEEKY view is
preferable and we hold to it despite the
depression of prices of farm products
and the general Scarcity of money.

other. / have read that record many
times from beginning to end, and I have

THE OTHER SIDE.

Slowly and sadly the industrial and
material interests of this country are
grinding down to the level Of times and
things before the war, and as they settle
back with logic as heavy as lead: spec
ulative values disappear, fictitious fu-
lures vanish and individual extravaganza
is pinched into original economical con-
ditions. Superfluities must give way be-
fore the hardest of necessities and the
prices of all things will be fixed by their
earning power rather than by some
promised future value. A large increase
IN the volume of currency might tenn
porarily mitigate the squeeze, but no
legislation and only a great European
war Of years duration, or an almost uni
versal failure of crops Oh the other side.
would check Americas present glacial
grind in the direction of the bed rock

dends, trusts nor combines can possibly

Tho statement is given out that the
leaders of the trades organizations
throughout the country are preparing to
enforce their demands for the adop-
ton of tie eight-hour system on
the first of May and that
general strike will be ordered
if it is not complied with. If
these people are wise they will not carry
their demands to that extreme Very
many employers are strained to the ut
most to keep their industries going, and
an enforced reduction of 20 per cent of
their producing ability could not but
have the effect of putting a stop to their
operations. Laboring people can better
afford to labor even at disadvantage
until more prosperous times come around,
and such policy will speed the return
of better times, while to carry out their
threat will but aggravate the situation
and postpone the era of improvement.
A half loaf is better than no bread when
provisions are scarce; so is ten hours
labor better than no work.
