SPEAKER CLARK ALARMED AT
EMIGRATION FROM U. S.
Declares 1t Is Costing Uncle Sam Mil
lions of Dollars Year-ls for Bet
ter Homestead Laws.

Washington-While committees of
both houses of congress are preparing
to press immigration reforms at the
next session, Speaker Clark is giving
attention to the other side of the ques-
ton. Emigration, the speaker said in
a recent statement, is costing the Uni
ted States millions of dollars year in
actual money, aside from the loss in
volved in giving up an American to be
replaced by foreign immigrant.
1T is high time," said Mr.. Clark,
that more attention be paid to the in
fluence of emigration upon our future.
"These Americans who are leaving
the United States understand our in
situations, our ways and our aspira-
tions, while most of the immigrants
have to be taught these things.
in one week not long since, 1915
American farmers with S3S8,500 in
cash and s145,000 in personal property,
crossed into western Canada, to settle
in British North America That is an
average of 1888 per capita and that
week was below the weekly average
into that region alone. How many go
to other countries | do not know.
These emigrants are among our
best citizens. l am personally ac-
quainted with 200 or 800 of them.
There is not bad or shiftless man
in the lot. They are seeking to bet
ter their conditions. They almost in
variably take their families with them.
The principal reason they expatriate
themselves is the lure of cheaper lands
and less stringest land laws as to
homesteading, etc.
Congress should make our home
stead conditions as easy as possible,
compatible with safety, and should in
crease the area for home building by
judiciious encouragement by both ir-
rigation and drainage. A statistician
has figured that the average adult cit
izen is of money value of $1,000, con.
sidered solely as an asset to the coun.
try. If this is true, the 1845 American
farmers who crossed the Canadian
boundary depleted the assets of the re
public that week by $2,37S, 500, which
multiplied by so would make the grand
total OF loss to the republic $123,6S2,
900, gone to Canada alone"
