An uNEoRTuNArE SITUATION


The other day there arrived in

OF these immigrants win, 1t is anti

though they could do much better in
the South and are OF the class Of
new settlers OF which this section
stands in urgent need. It la OF
course, possible that the immigration
bureaus or the Southern states might
through prompt and energetic effort
succeed In diverting some Of them
in this direction: but there Is nothing
in past experience 10 encourage the
hope that energy exerted TO that
end would produce even measurable
success. Immigrants OF this class
seldom leave home without having
definitely decided ssi advance where
they are goilg to locate. and it Is
almost impossible TO induce them,
after they have once landed on our
shores, to change their destination
Ii was realization OF this ract, dem
onstrated By long and repeated exper-
fence, which led South Carolina, Yir-
ginia and others OF the states of the
South few years ago TO evolve plans
for seeking desirable immigrants in
their home countries and landing
them directly at Southern ports. But
no sooner had these plans been put
in operation and begun to demon

larger than those Of ITS competitors

Washington. June 20.-In a special
message to the house of representa-
tives today, President Taft stated that
the tariff board would not be ready 70
submit a comprehensive report on
wool and cotton schedules of the
tariff law until December /. next. He
declared the board was instructed.
when reorganized in April last, to be
ready to report in December, and that
in the meantime it was not in a DO
sitlon to transmit anything except
some figures already sent to the
house ways and means committee.
The Presidents message was called
out by a house resolution reCuesti 1g
hlm to transmit at once all Of the in
formation procured by the tariff

conducted an investigation of the
methods of the tariff board. This
report was highly commendatory Of

Quoting an inquiry which involves
original research work that is world
wide in its scope. A large amount of
material has already been obtained.
