GENERAL REVIEW
immigration has been one of the
most seriously discussed problems of
the week A cablegram from F. M.
Hatch stated that Attorney General
Bonaparte had ruled that states
which is taken to mean territories also
may assist immigration from public
funds. but immigrants whose passages
are paid by associations will not be
admitted. 1t is further communicated
that this ruling will not prevent the
admission of the Spaniards coming in
the Heliopolis and the Portuguese in
the Kumeric. At the same time the
conviction Is general that the impor-
tation of laborers by the Planters As
ISOLATION, which pays the expense,
through the medium of the Territorial
Board of immigration will end, under
the new immigration law, with the
arrival of the shiploads just mention
ed. Therefore. II European immigra-
ton is to be continued 1t must be at
the direct expense of the Territory,
and 1t is conceded beyond doubt that
this can only be either through an in
crease of taxation or an increase OF
the Territorial bonded Indebtedness,
the latter plan having few or no adj
vocates and the former eliciting a con-
fusing variety of schemes for higher
taxation. Secretary Atkinson has vosc-
ed the opinion of many in advocating,
as policy for immediate adoption,
the putting forth of inducements to
the European laboring element now
here to remain In the country. The
reason back of such a policy is the
fact that many Portuguese. some OF
them having lived here more than
score of years and others born and
reared In the islands. are responding
to the lure of high prices for labor In
San Francisco. The counter attrac-
tions recommended are the giving of
the mechanical Jobs on plantations to
these people and the setting of them
upon homesteads OF their own near TO
their employment. II legislation Is
needed to meet the crisis. there is less
than three weeks time in which to
perfect and pass measures. Being a
matter In which the entire community
is interested 1t seems to be one CALI
ing for thoroughly representative, as
compared with class or partisan. ac-

for bringing all nterests-planting.
