chairman Of the House District of Co
1lumbia Committee. The resolution re-
cites that citizens desirous of attend

complained that they have been re-

tracts at exorbitant prices. AS a rem
edy the resolution would provide that

houses. boarding houses. cafes, restau.
rants and similar places Of entertain
ment" shall be the regular rates
charged during the year prior to Feb

IMMIGRATION BILL VETOED.
President Objects TO the Literacy
Test.

z y tsitlg
Washington President Taft vetoed
the Dillingham; Burnett immigration
bill, which would revolutionize the i'm
migration policy Of the United States
by imposing a literacy test upon all
foreigners seeking home In America.
In short message to the Senate in
his own handwriting the President an
nounced his disapproval Of the meas
ure solely because Of the provision
which would lock the doors Of the
united States against the alien who
could not read some language or
dialect.
The veto message was accompanied
by a letter to the President from Sec
retary Nagel denouncing the literacy
test as a radical provision based upon
a fallacy in undertaking to apply q
test which is not calculated to reach
the truth and to find relief from a dan
ger which really does not exist"

PEACE DAY TO BE OBJ
SERVED IN SCHOOLS

State superintendent Of Public
Instruction E. J.T aylor, is urg-
ing county superintendent, prin-
cipals and teachers to set aside
May l8, for the observance of
Peace Day. He urges that an
hour or two be set aside for the
purpose.
This day has been observed in
the schools of the country since
1905, when Honorable George H.
aMrtin, then secretary OF the
state board of education in Mas
sachusetts, sent to the superin-
tendents of the state recon-
mendation for appropriate exer-
cises to emphasize the blessings
of peace, to show the superiority
of arbitration over war, and to
exalt the brotherhood of nations
On the eighteenth of May,
day commemorating the opening
Of the Hague Peace conference in
1889, peculiar opportunity is
afforded for instilling into the
minds Of the young the great
laws Of brotherhood that were
in the thoughts of our forefa'
theirs. The points to be empha
sized are the great benefits that
would accrue to the nations OF
the earth by an adoption Of the
policy, recommended by the
Hague Peace conference, of ad
justing disagreements amond ma
tions without resort to war.
