EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS As
AMERICANIzERS.

The campaign for the European
Immigrant as an Americanizer in
tIiis section of the world is steadily
gaining power. It is backed by the
Intelligence of America, and the
strong common sense of the program
easily bowls oyer the nagging, sour
'criticism of the few persons present.
Ing a puerile opposition.
MsOne of the latest utterances in
the cause of the European as the
'folver of problems in that section of
the United States in and bordering
IN the Pacific was delivered by Isador
Straus during his recent stay in San
Francisco. Mr.. Straus Is a national
figure In the business and financial
world and has served term in Con-
gress.

tion, Mr.. Straus spoke as follows
and II applies to Hawaii with the
same force that 1t does to any West
ern State:
Now, l have been in California
four months, and | am thoroughly
convinced that what you most need
Is colonization. You lack popula-
tion. Out here is the grandest ell
mate In the woodland / speak as
a man who has travelled extensively
coupled with natural resources
which are wonderful. They are un-
developed, however, and for the very
lack of people. California can ac-
commodate many, many more people.
That, believe, is one of the great
reasons for the influx of Orientals
II they have nothing to gain here,
they will not come. And II you will
bring Europeans here, they can dc
the work which the Japanese now do
and supply the market.

has been here a generation, he be-
comes a flrst-class citizen, and he
mixes and is one of us.
Every European of the right class
you bring here is the bringing in OF
future Americans. That is an i'm
portant fact.
Economists say. and they usually
base their conclusions on facts. that
each immigrant is worth $1,000. a
year to this country. Now II Cali
.Ornia can bring in desirable immi-
grants at SEQ. a head. yet US say,
what better investment can be found
.or the money? That is a work for
the State Board of Trade, the Cali
fornia Promotion Committee, or any
other public-spirited civic organiza'
ton which has the future welfare Of
the State at heart. You should havl
men at the ports from which thcs'
immigrants sail to send them to Cal
ifornia."

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT TAX.

The plan of the Senate Ways and
Means Committee majority to raise
funds for public improvements by
special taxation Is entitled to serious
consideration. II starts the people
thinking in the right direction,
though 1t does not seem to be the
perfect panacea to meet the present
situation. r....s
There is no doubt the Territory Of
Hawaii has in times past handled the
loan appropriations as II the loan
funds were easy money" The In
terests Of the people have not been
as carefully guarded. either In the
Legislature or by the departments
expanding the money, as they should
have been and as they undoubtedly
would be II each taxpayer had 1t
brought home to him that he must
sooner or later pay the price Of ex-
travagance.
Personal interest of the individual
taxpayer is what the scheme advanc-
ed by the Ways and Means majority
commands. This We should always
have in all matters of government.
We must remember, however, that
there are certain public improve
ments that are legitimate charge
on the Territory at large. There is
every reason why the present Legis-
lature should select items OF this
character and provide for them un-
der a Territorial loan appropriation.
Shortcomings of the past are not suf-
ficlent reason for placing an arbi-
trary barrier against present prog
ress.
The Blu letin believes a loan
appropriation should be provided by
the present Legislature.
This paper also fayors the scheme
OF authorizing special taxation by
which the Counties may be put in
the possession Of ways and means to
secure what the taxpayers clearly ap
prove.

features Of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Jan. ~30.-Impaired wire service
Hue to the severe storm contributed to some
Rxtent to an extremely dull session in all
pits on the Board of Trade today. At the
close prices for wheat, corn, oats and pro-
visions were almost unchanged from final
quotations Of the previous day.
A range of hc in prices for all deliveries
throughout the day forcibly tells the story
Of the days transactions in the wheat pit.
Owing 70 many telegraphic wires being out
of commission on account of the storm OF
the last forty-eight hours, trade was mainly
of a local character and of unusually sman
proportions. The market closed steady,
with May at s1.07h and July at 979sc. Clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to
1900 bu. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago
reported receipts of "a cars, against as cars
last week and 1874 cars a year ago
Trade in corn was almost as dull as in
wheat and price ranges were equally as
narrow. The market closed steady, with
prices unchanged to a shade higher, May
closing at 627sc and July at 62kq63c. Local
receipts were 1913 cars, with two OF contract
grade.
Oats were quiet and steady. At the close
prices were unchanged to snhc lower,
compared with the previous close. Final
quotations on May were at SIC and on July
at 46as0461kc. Local receipts were l4 cars.
Closing out of small holdings of January
pork was the sole feature of trade In the
provisions market. This realizing caused a
decline OF 221kc in the price Of that product,
compared with yesterdays closing. Other
wise trading in the pit was at a standstil.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
