AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE.
AS it is understood that the United
States immigration Commission will
recommend legislation to congress,
based on it's Investigations which have
been going on for more than two
years, Judge Julian w. Mack, of Chi
cago, appeared on behalf of the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, before the
commission at Washington, on Dec. 4,
1909 He advanced strong arguments
against any further restrictive meas
ures, which might affect the Jews who
are refugees from political or religious
persecution. He made a plea for the
maintenance of the historical policy of
the country, which had always been
an asylum for the oppressed of all ma
tons, and paid high tribute to the
character of Jewish immigrants, who
have contributed SO many excellent
elements to American citizenship. He
placed particular stress upon their
wellknown desire for education, and
emphasized the sacrifices they are con-
stantly making to this end.
He argued in favor of a modification
in the clause of the existing law pro-
viding for the deportation OF persons
likely to become public charge, and
stated that since the Jews universally
looked after their own poor, the deci-
sion of an immigrant Inspector that
a man is likely to become public
charge is often unwarranted and arbi-
trary and not always based on data
which have any value. He held that
it was extremely difficult to determine
whether any able-bodied immigrant
was likely to become a public charge,
and that the great resources of the
country could only be developed by
CH6 largely lHCISdSSu pOpu4dIlou'
He also protested against that
clause of the existing Jaw providing
for the exclusion of those who are
physically defective, holding that,
though the Jews in many instances
lacked physical development, they
were noted for their longevity and for
the low percentage of infant mortality
among them He argued that high
state of physical development was not
necessary for many of the pursuits in
which Jews were engaged.
He also protested against literacy
test which, though it would not keep
out many Jewish men, would tend to
the separation of families, since among
Jewish immigrants, practically all the
ililteracy is found among the women

WANT WATERWAYS IMPROVED.

If any person has doubt about the
interest which the central west has
in waterway improvements let him
look over the official figures.
1t has been stated that the twelve
states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin. Minnesota.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri con-
tain more than half the farm prop.
erty value of the United States.
They have about one-fourth of the
total area of the country and one
third of its population. In agricul-
ture they are as important as all the
rest of the country combined. In
1908 these twelve states raised
459,521, 900 bushels of wheat, or 50
per cent of the total yield; 1884,
$4,000 bushels of corn, or 61.6 per
cent of the entire crop; 6OS,237, 900
bushels of oats, or 75.5 per cent of
the whole, and 144,2 900 bushels
of rye and barley, or 1875 per cent
of the total crop.
Their production of butter, cheese,
potatoes, hay, etc., is about one-half
that of the whole country. They
raise practically all the fax, and
aggregate of their farm products
is not far from half that of the
United States.
Not all the commerce of the inter-
ior seeks southern seaport. Half
of Ohio, much of Michigan and parts
of Wisconsin and the northwest are
more directly tributhry to the great
lakes. But this subtraction will be
more than made good by river bust.
ness originating in states south of
the twelve named. The cotton crop
is to the south what the grain crop
is to the north. In 1908 the states
of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Missouri, Texas and
Oklahoma produced 8,O16,914 bales.
Oklahoma alone grew 15,625,OOO
bushels of wheat in 1908. Nearly
all this product is exported, and this
adds more tonnage to the lower
basin that is diverted to the lakes in
the upper.
With all this stuff to send to
market, is it any wonder the Missis-
sippi valley wants cheaper Transport
