WHAT IMMIGRATION DOES.

Few people stop to consider how
many people come to America every
month It has been estimated that
I'm three months nearly a million pco-
pie come. In six months enough peo-
pie come TO populate a state as big
as Oklahoma, and they bring enough
TO make a good showing. In year or
two states like Oklahoma could be
filled with people DO not these facts
argue heavily I'm favor of The Ard
morrito's proposition that Oklahoma
provide for the establishment of "a
bureau OF immigration with a COM
missioner 90 the head whose entire
time and energy should he devoted to
the work of securing a steady flow Of
immigration for Oklahoma? DO they
not carry a weight that printed WORDS
cannot Is it not question worth
considering?
These people are pouring into the
United States at this rate, and are
rapidly taking mp all the public land
and are filling the cities and vacant
places everywhere,
Necessarily this increase in our
population needs more land. Suppose
that we get Indian restrictions re-
moved and that we could get 100000
German farmers into Carter County.
The immediate result would be to
double the price Of land. Even then
the land would not sell for more than
half OF what It does I'm Iowa. Those
German farmers would produce crops
that would feed themselves and the
markets near them II We had 100000
German farmers In Carter they
would soon supply this city OF Ard
