FIGHTING IMMIGRATION LAW.

league has been formed in New
York to fight against further restric-
ton of immigration, such as is pro-
posed in the Lodge-Gardner bill now
pending in congress. The league has
held mass meeting" named long
list of honorary vice presidents" Gin
most cases, doubtless, without the
knowledge of the persons so honoreO,
and adopted a resolution vigorously
protesting" against the proposed law.
Among the things the league regards
as especially obnoxious, un-American
and dangerous" are such regulations as
these:
The educational test under which an
immigrant must show that he can read
and write some language.
The frightening to three years of
the period within which an immigrant
may be deported for having obtained
admission in violation of the law.
The rule that the head of an incom-
ing family must show himself pos
sessed of at least $25.
All of these regulations seem both
wise and necessary. Why any patri-
otto citizen of the United States should
oppose them is a mystery, says the
Minneapolis Journal. Especially mys-
terious is opposition to the education
al test. which is designed to shut the
illterate out Of the country.
In the litera ture sent out by the
league is a fearful plea that the gates
be swung wide open. so that the south
may secure the labor it needs for its
new development. But the south has
one race problem on its hands now and
it surely does not need the illiterate
and the pauperized portions of Euro
pean peoples to start a new one.
Moreover, there is abundant immi-
grafton now for the south's purpose if
it can be DETECTED that way. The diff
ficulty is that a large proportion of the
incoming foreigners stay in New York
or other urban centers where there is
already too great congestion. The ten
dency of an immigrant is to go where
his relatives and his comrades have
preceded him. The recent movement
of South Carolina to induce immigra-
ton has received the sanction of the
courts and there is nothing to prevent
other states from pursuing a similar
course. Once the tide of immigration
is turned to the south, there will be
enough desirables coming in, without
throwing down the bars to those who
can neither read nor write and who
have not even the sum of $25 with
which to start life in the new world.
Who is behind this league. anyway?
There is something curious about it.

sion. Coupled with the dissatisfaction
terrain toward the commission and the
distrust that the anti commission coun-
ties have always had, is the demand
of a faction in the legislature that if
a direct primary law is to be passed.
all the members of the commissions
and many of the appointive officers be
made elective.
Ed Dickinson, chairman of the house
committee on railroads, told the joint
railroad committees yesterday in as
blunt manner as possible that he
was dissatisfied with the administra-
ton of the RAILROAD commission bill
that he helped to draft two years ago.
Senator Paulhamus has declared
openly that he proposes to know all
about the administration of the COM
missions affairs, and that he is dis
pleased with the manner in which the
business has been done.
Dickson in particular, criticised the
recommendations of the commission
for new legislation. insisting that the
commission had not f1at-fOotedly rec
commended anything-that it merely
threw out a few suggestions as to
what should be done.
Apparently the railroad commission
lacks defenders in the joint committee.
This, however, is merely surface
showing, for there are unquestionably
members of the two houses who will
say good word for the two remain
ing members.
The heavy drain upon the appropria-
ton for the experts that the commits
sion has employed is being attacked.
The travelling and incidental expenses
are regarded as exorbitant and too ex-
pensive for the results accomplished.

TAKING THE CENSUS.

Too much cannot be said in praise
of the plan to have the census or
Walla Walla city and county taken by
the field deputies working under the
assessor. 1t is the practical So
luton of q problem which has con-
fronted. those anxious to secure a new
city charter and place Walla Walla
where the city belongs, in the front
rank of Washington municipalities.
While there has been no opportunl-
ty as yet to canvass the members OF
the county board, there is a strong be-
lief that the commissioners will not
stand in the way of bringing about
such admirable results as will obtain
There will be little extra work placed
on the field deputies and the fact that
this year only personal property will
be assessed, thereby greatly lessening
the work of the assessors office and
affOrding ample time and opportunity
for the important census work, will go
far toward influencing the commission
ers favorably.
The opportunity is given the MEM
bers of the Commercial club to bring
to head the long cherished plans. 1t
only requires immediate attention and
a club representation at the meeting
of the board of county commissioners.
Help push the plan through and get
the census. The rest will be much

to me as a taxpayer, to offer a sug-
gestion, that may prove food for
thought. for both county and city au-
thorities. and 1 ask indulgence of your
valuable paper in my behalf.
The question of caring for the indi-
gent, of the city and county, is GER
tainly vexing one, to say the least,
and the method of doing so now and,
in the past is anything but satisfac-
both from the standpoint of humanity
as well as financially. The object of
this paper, is not that of fighting the
battles of the county and pOOrfarm
management by any means, but in view
of our beautiful city, city of church
es, beautiful homes and a center of
education and wealth, demands some
thing more at our hands, in dealing
with the subject of this paper than,
the "old back woods" method of fifty
thing more can be shown to. the least
thoughtful, to be method by which
the county and city could be the re-
cipients of handsome profit each
month, instead of a dead outlay with
increasing demands from year to year.
l assure you. if anything less than
stern hand is at the head of this
management. they will have no less
than an army to deal with. l speak
from long experience in this bust
ness.
Now for the method. From the ar
ticle referred to in yesterdays issue.

that, little over half of this sum

pacity for a number of years to como
for the coun4v and city; and if prop
erly conducted would not only care for
the county and city sick, but be

in dollars and cents. I am prepared
to meet these assertions with facts and
