----7--l----.7' 7'----777 IMMIGRATION

So long as our immigration keeps up to its present million Il year, it is bound to be one of our yexing and pressing problems. The suggestions of Commissioner of Immigration Frank r. Sargent, in his annual report, are both moderate ard sensible. He does not go into the elaborate plans for re- ducing the numbers of immigrants which have been brought to the at tention of Congress from various sources during the past two years, but contents himself with suggestions de- signed to keep out the admittedly un- desirable.
 His recommendations include plans to check the violation of existing laws by professed seamen: the establish ment of government physicians at the principal ports of authorization to see that the physically unfit are not per- mitted to start across the ocean; the appointment of women inspectors tc travel on the big steerage ships, and to prevent the importation of womer for immoral purposes: either an inter- national agreement for the detection of criminals or else the requirement of passport from the country of the immigrants citizenship; and, lastly the calling of an international confer ence on the subject at the earliest practicable day.
 All of these plans look toward { stricter enforcement of existing law rather than any extenisve changes il our present statutes. It is common knowledge that the laws against tht 1 importation of the diseased and 0 paupers have been shamefully evadeC at foreign ports. Government agent have repeatedly sent home reports charging officials of the countries 0 Eastern Europe with collision witt the steamboat companies in shipping to this country criminals and pauper of whom they wished to he rid. Thos, practices are clear violations of exist ing laws, but they have been ex'en siyely carried on. Mr. Sargent woul try the effect of stricter enforcement of the present prov islons before seek ing to extend the limits of our exclu sion acts.

TEE ASSESSMENT YEAR

A gentleman in Nevada suggests that there be change in the assess ment yeas, so as to bring the expire tion Of mining rights on unpateuted claims into the summer instead of 1T the middle of winter, as at present. The law governing this question now requires that the annual work must be done before midnight of December 31. and change of final date to June 90 or July 3l would simply throw the fast opportunity of the claim holder into the warm weather.
 The first hint of an objection that arises iu connection with such a pro posed change is that it's chief advaut- age would be in favor of those whC habitually postpone their duty to the last minute. It would be concession in favor of procrastination. On tic other hand, it might he urged that it would be of benefit to the relocator, who finds it uncomfortable placing new stakes upon abandoned rights ir the early hours of New Years mofp- ing. He would not be so apt to freez, his fingers on night in July ol 1 August.
 The real question. however, appears in considering the usual situation of the energetic claim holder. Is there anytiiin3 io the seasonal habits of the average prospector which would make it an advantage to him to have the assessment year close in midsummer: Do cliam holders often postpone their annual work until the late fall and December simply because the cold weather is more convenient for them? It sometimes happens that claim hold CTS are einpioyed in the mines during l part of the year and that they do iheir own assessment work when not otherwise engaged. If. in any great uumher of cases, the locator is em- ployed by others during the warm months, there might be an advantage in having long connected period during the cold months to be devoted to his own interests. But, on the other band, the same argument in favor of prolonged winter period applies equally well to the present prolonged summer period, in favor of those who prefer to carry out their labor during that portion of the year.
 On the whole, we do not find it pos sible to sift much out of the subject at all It does not strike us as a vital matter. There are too many people to be considered, and no one knows what the majority of claim holders would prefer. What would benefit one might be an inconvenience to an- other. Mining Record

The supreme court of the United States has passed on the Sunday clos ing ordinances, and has decided that tho cities of the country have the right 10 close the saloons on the first day of the week. The decision was handed down in the case of the state of Minnesota vs. Val Marciniak, the latter being the owner of saloon in Minneapolis. Sentenced to pay a fine of s25 for having his place open on Sunday, he appealed his case to the st .te supreme court, where hs lost. He then carried the case to the feder- al supreme court, where the state supr sme court has been upheld by the recent decision. Marciniak raised the point that the proceeding of the city court, in which the original fine Mss levied, in denying him jury Srial was summary act, such as is not justifiable under the constitution, but the federal court refused to sub scribe to this view,

Admiral Brownson's resignation as chief of the bureau of navigation was
 hardly needed to show that there is friction in the navy department. There have been many evidences of this. Indeed part of the navy person nel is under constant fire from another part, and vice versa. The recent at tacks on the navy presented in an article published in McClure's are believed to have been inspired by one navy clique, with the idea of bringing discredit on the officers on whose abil- ity it reflects. It has become increas- ingly evident of late months that per- sonal friction in this arm of the na- tional defense is in some degree inn pairing its effectiveness. A restora- tion of real friendliness between all the officers principally responsible for the administration of the navy is now perhaps as necessary as the building of new battleships.

The inheritance tax law is making the states some easy money. Two es- tates in Wyoming-the Charles P. Miller estate and the Davis Carey es- tate-will pay approximately g, 900, says the Larimie Republican. This is the kind of a tax that does not cost anybody anything. The state simply takes it, leaving to the heirs all that belongs to them. The heirs do not have to pay it, because it is property they never owned or earned. That certainly would be one of the easy ways of raising at least part of the revenue necessary to the support of the home government for Alaska rec commended by President Roosevelt. And there are other sources that could be resorted to without injury or injus- tice to anyone.

Republican leaders seem to realize that in the coming presidential cam paign they will have to face the charge of reckless extravagance in public expenditures. Congress has been booming along with enormous appropriations for the past ten years, growing more and more bountiful in issuing drafts on the Treasury. Can non has decreed that the time to call . halt has arrived, and that there must be retrenchment and economy all along the line. An effort will be made during the present session to es- tabilsh record for frugality and economy in public expenditures to off ret the charges the Democrats will m.ke of needless extravaganza. Everything is to be cut to the mini mum.
