SARGENT IS AGAINST
NEW IMMIGRATION LAW
Does Not Favor the Plan of
New York Men.
HE BELIEVES IN CHANGES
Asserts That Existing Law Should
Be Made More Stringent Than
1t Is at Present.
HE BELIEVES IN CHANGES

Commissioner General Sargent, of the
Bureau of immigration of the Depart
ment of Commerce. ridiculed the resolu-
tion presented TO the New York Cham
Der of Commerce by c. c. Shayne, which
advocates the repeal of the immigration
law of 1903. with the idea of having q
more stringent law enacted, and the
return TO the so-called examination OF
immigrants to the United States by the
United States consuls before they en-
bark
Mr. Sargent said that TO repeal the
immigration law, which is stronger now
than ever before. would be folly, in
view of the danger that another law
not so strict. might be enacted He is,
however. in favor of making the pres
ent law more efficient by additions and
changes.
Old Abuses.
Under the old law Of 1898. Mr.. Shayne
said in his speech to the Chamber OF
Commerce, the American consuls had
to verify in person the lists of immi-
grants sailing to the United States Be
cause the consuls now do not have di-
rect access to the manifest sheets con-
tanning the names OF the passengers
Mr.. Shayne declared that valuable
power had been taken from their hands
He said that too much power now lies
in the hands OF the steamship COM
panies, which are looking merely for
financial gain.
Mr.. Sargent pointed out the fact that
under the old law the American con-
suls merely pocketed fee for signing
their names to the lists. which had
been sworn to by the ships surgeons
and that the consuls made no inspec-
tion OF immigrants whatever before
embarkation. He said that the ships
officers have no more power in theiI
hands now than they had under the
| law of 1893.

The startling announcement is made
that although the Mckinley Manual

pills. the enrolment is already $50. A
similar condition exists in the Arm

and $50 pupils.
Two vacation schools are wanted, eight
new graded school buildings, two new
normal school buildings. one new man
ual training school. and additions to the
Chevy Chase. Ivy City. Petworth, and
Benning schools.
The condition Of plumbing in some of
the older school buildings is reported 20
be in bad condition. and a much larger
appropriation has been asked for
Two assistant superintendents are
asked for at $1,000. an increase from
$4,000 to $500 is requested in the sal

director of manual training is raised
from $1,000 to $500; s24 900 is asked

other important items follow:
Kindergarten instruction, $4,000, an
increase OF $4,000. This increase is
necessary in order to enable the board
TO establish several new kindergarten
schools and increase the salaries of the
poorly paid kindergarten teachers. The
assistants receive only $500, and the
principals have not yet reached the pay
OF the primary grade teacher. The
amount asked for is necessary in order
that the board may extend the privi-

Those branches hang from the trees
which grow in the grass plot outside
the fence and others hang over the
fence to talk with the outsiders. and
frequently they embrace each other
across the walk and the pedestrian
must crawl through or jump over.
A good old lady was so badly

they are those who ride the bicycle

their trees or trim them.

The popular loan plan of funding
the city debt has so many arguments
in its favor that it is hard to choose
among them.
Salem has three times resorted to
the popular loan and each time 1t was
great success. and saved the city
money
Both Salem banks favored the popu.
lar loan in the past, and the plan is
the only one uakes the citizen a
shareholder in the community, a stock
holder for good government.
The old plan of having the banks
carry all the debts Of the community
gave them too great load in times
of stringency, and caused them to un-
load on Eastern banks. and then inter.
est and principal went East.
The banks may offer TO carry the
city bonds now at four per cent, but in
case Of a panic or financial depres.
sion, they could not do it.
with the debt widely distributed in
the hands Of small holders there is
spreading out of the load, and the
banks are left free to handle the com.

The popular loan proposed by the
special committee should not be side
tracked or delayed It is in the inter
