j. 5. IMMIGRATION
COMMISSION
(conti,ued from Page One. }

(Contiaued from Page One)
"In conducting their investigations
abroad the commissioners gave special at
tention to the methods employees by the
transportation companies in handling i'm
migrants ard the effect of the United
States immigration law upon European
immigration and the attitude OF the vari-
Gus countries toward the departure OF
their subjects to other lands. The ques-
tion OF preventing the coming OF criminal
classes into the United States has been
a chief subitbt OF Investigation by the
subcommittee. and 1t is probable that i'm
portant recommendations on this matter
will be made TO congress
TO ESCAPE MILITARY SERVICE
"A very large proportion OF male emil
grants leave their rative countries st a
time when they are liable TO militory
service there and this constitutes a strong
objection 10 srcn emigrants. On tSe col :
trary. Il is true that, in some parts Of
Europe. at least, emigration is not with
out It's attending benefit and this is
recognized. For example, there Is a de-
cided tendency on the part OF the aliens
of certain nationalities TO send back TO
their native countries a large part OF their
earnings In the United States. The total
amount of money thus transferred each
year Is enormous and the greater part of
It goes to countries where IL Is much
needed.
GOO WILL RESULT.
Added to this Is desire on the part OF
nearly all the seaboard countries OF Eu-
rope to build up a merchant marine and
as the carryingg OF emigrants is in many
cases essential to the success OF such en-
terprises. the attitude OF such govern
ments toward emigration Is affected ac-
cordingly. These are the real forces that
control the situation In Europe today and
the trend OF affairs indicates that more at
tention and greater supervision OF emigra-
tion on the part of the countries most con-
cerned will result The chief causes Of
emigration from Europe are n widespread
knowledge that labor Is more generously
rewarded In America than at home, the
advice and financial assistance OF rela-
tives and friends who have already emil
grated and the persistent activity OF
agents selling steamship tickets who are
to be found all over Europe despite the
fact that soliciting emigration is prohibit
ed by the law In nearly every European
country and by our own emigration laws.
During the tour OF inquiry and inves-
tigation the commissioners have secured
important information and have made ar
to secure more and feel con-
hdent that before their work Is completed
recommendations can be made TO congress
which, IL enacted into law, will be both
valuable and important"

Grand Jury Finds Big differentiation
For Coal Mines.

For Coal Mines.
Wilkes Barre. Pa. Jan. p. The
grand jury. which has been investi-
eating alleged frauds in assessing
property in Luzerne county. made a
special report TO the court The reve-
lations are startling.
The grand jury claims that the in
vestigations so far made show that
property. mostly coal lands. is under
valued to the extent OF $4,000. 900.
The county commissioners are urged
to increase the value OF this property
at once by about $4,000, 900.
The grand jury. in its report. is
very severe on those coal companies
that viii not sell the surface of their
coal lands for building lots, although
such lots are very much in demand.
The assessment on these lands Is only
$1,000 an acre. while adjoining lots.
owned by individuals, are taxed at the
rate Of 5000. In other words. the small
property owner pays tax on $500, while
the coal companies pay only at the
rate OF Sf4 a foot.
