Though immigration IS larger dHu heavier than ever. its distribution IS so haphazard and crude that even rural New York finds farm labor scarce and dear. Farmers and agricultural labor CTS arrive in masses weekly, but those of them that do not go west ln the hope of getting free homesteads re- main in the eastern eenters, further overcrowding congested foreign colo nies." It Is stated. on the authority Of the immigration officials, that In the last fiscal year 32 per cent of the whole number of immigrants remained in New York City-a showing that Is justly regarded as grave and menac- ing. Commissioner General Sergeant has. as head of the Immigration Bu- reau, devoted much study and rehec- ton to the question of more sadsfac- tory and systematic distribution of aliens, believing that such distribu- tion is both more expedient and more urgent than further restriction Of inn migra ton. He does not propose the arbitrary closing of this or that area to newcomers, but he holds that much can be accomplished by federal and state cooperation in a constructive, practical way. The Commissioner con- templates the establishment of con- pletely equipped bureau of informa- tion, with state exhibits as promi- nent feature, to serve as a guide to the immigrant. Each state Is to be repre- scented by a special agent and to in stall exhibits showing Its principal in- dustr!es, the prevailing rate of wages, the prospects for work and home own- ership. the transportation facilities, etc. Railroad companies are to be invited to establish similar agencies to fur nish information concerning work on and unoccupied land along their re- spective lines. Thus an alien, with out leaving Ellis Island. could ascer- tain where and on what terms employ ment or small plots of land might be had. Of course, 1t would devolye on the supervising and controlling author ities to keep the land swindler, the reckless promoter" the would-be vlo- lator of the contract labor law at a safe distance from this permanent exposition" for the benefit of aliens anxious to become self-supporting in the land of opportunity. IL would be the duty of the Immigration Bureau to prevent the "exploitatio and misuse of the Bureau of Informa ton, and the proper discharge of this duty might not be easy at first. But earnestness and efficiency would in time solve the problem. The advantages of the scheme are obvious, and in the South especially, where the demand for the right sort of immigrants IS very ac- tive just now, owing to prosperous con- ditions and unusual railway construc- ton, 1t has been cordially approved. The beginning might be modest-one building and the organization of a small force of employees, some federal and some acting for the states needing immigration most.

Since the world began |

Since the world began the free spender, even though he spends on nothing productive, has been popular, while the miser who spends nothing and therefore reserves all for pro- ductve investment has been anathe- matized. Certainly, in view of the present adjustment of human society, enormous would be the suffering which would follow if the rich should deter mine to return to the simple life-to wear only holden gray and dine on homely fare. Such a change might be good for the next generation, but 1t would be hard on the present one, and 1t is in this present one that the vast majority, however much they may love posterity, are chiefly interested.
