Jap Competition Too Much.

For years the Japanese population
in California has been increasing, and
japanese immigrant laborers have be-
come landowners and farmers.
The remarkable advance of the
japanese from peon to producer is re-
sponsible for the strenuous efforts of
the Californians TO get rid of them.
The Japanese have displaced the
whites first from the jobs and then
from the land. The white farmers
cannot compete with the Japanese;
they are being driven out of their
homes by the Japanese; the Japanese
are acquiring some of the best farm
ing lands of the State, and already
they are said to control 80 per cent.
of its agriculture.

To REORGANIzE
THE DEPARTMENT
Intention of the Secretary OF

HOUsTONS FIRST REPORT.
Secretary Wants Authority To STUDY
Domestic Conditions-Fed-
eral Aid For Roads
Urged.

Washington Representation OF the
Department Of Agriculture is fore.
shadowed In Secretary Houstons first
annual report presented TO President
Wilson. A plan, to be submitted to
Congress IN the fiscal estimates OF
1916. proposes TO carry ont the work
OF the department in five or six main
groups. such as research. state rela-
tions. rural organization. forest serv-
ice. weather and regulation. Such a
plan. Secretary Houston believes. Will
promote coordination.
Plans for redistricting the country
for the enforcement of the Pure Food
law are announced and the Secretary
makes public his intention to ask for
authority to prepare amendments to
the Pure Food law to improve the food
supply. protect the public health and
promote uniformity in food legislation.
Free distribution of seeds by Con
gressmen should be discontinued. the
Secretary recommends. He would
conduct in its stead constructive
work in securing and distributing new
seeds and plants.
Financial Help For Farmers.
Conditions vary widely in the United
States. says the report. because farm
ers do not equally need better credit
arrangements, and all sections are not
similarly circumstanced. 1t contends
that when all necessary allowance has
been made for fundamental factors it
Is probably clear that the rural COM
munities are not as efficiently served
as they should be by existing financial
ARRANGEMENTS. The Secretary believes
there does not appear TO be need for
unique or special legislation or for
legislation which shall aim to give the
farmer credit on easier terms than
other members OF society, What is
needed is the creation of conditions
and machinery which shall enable him
on similar credit foundations 10 secure
money at the same rates as those that
prevail for other classes and for other
sections.
Good roads are prerequisite for
better marketing. for better schools
and for more comfortable rural liv-
ing" says the Secretary Better
sanitation and hygiene in the home, in
the school and in the community are
just as vital for the rural community
as for the urban" says the report.
Would Help the Housewife.
To gain information TO enable the
department better to serve rural WON
en- the Secretary has addressed letters
of inquiry to the women of $4,000
selected farms covering every county.
Analysis of the letters shows that farm
women desire assistance as to ways
of securing running water, introduc
ing household power machinery and
labor-saving arrangements and provid
ing better hygienic and sanitary con
ditions Many seek advice as to the
better marketing OF the articles they

THE RlNsDtIl HUMPHREYS BILL.

In our issue of last week We copied
an interview with Congressman
Mcclellan, of the Memphis district,
in which that gentleman expressed
the confident opinion that the Rams
dell Humphries bill will pass the
House of Representatives at the
December session with scarcely any
opposition and that he anticipates
a like result in the Senate when the
measure comes to be considered by
that body.
AS most of our readers doubtless
know the bill called the Ransdell-
HUMPHREYS bill is a comprehensive
scheme for appropriating annually
the amount estimated by the U. ).
Engineers to be necessary to COM
plete the levee system.
If this bill shall become law the
funds necessary for the great work
of protecting the alluvial valley
of the Mississippi from inundation
will at once be available and the
so-called problem involved will be
solved. We say 'so-called problem"
advisedly because there never was
any real problem involved except
that of obtaining the money required
to build levees of adequate height
and cross-section.
So far as height is concerned the
levees are, in our judgement, ade-
ouate and it but remains to give
them more stability by enlargement
of cross-section.
Even after the system is complet-
ed, weak spots, here and there, will
doubtless develope into flood periods
but these weak spots will be subject
ed to special treatment, the compile
ton of the levees as whole ena-
bling the authorities to localize theiI
energies at such points as show weak

A DUTY OF the PRESS.

We had occasion a short time ago
to comment on the fact that num-
bers of insane persons are confined
in the iails throughout the State be-
cause there is no room for them in
the State Asylums.
We expressed the opinion then
that the confinement of these poor
creatures ought to be regarded by
the people of the State as blot on
its fair name and we appealed to the
press of the State to take the matter
up and agitate it until the evil is
remedied.
We regret that so far as we have
seen, no notice has been taken of
this matter by our exchanges and
we therefore again express the hope
that our great contemporaries OF the
city press, as well as our country
contemporaries, will take this scan
dalous condition of affairs under
consideration and give some expires
sion of opinion as to what can and
ought to be done to remedy it.
1t certainly is primary function
of the press to give publicity to griev-
Gus conditions like those under con-
sideration and to endeavor to create
a public sentiment which shall be Sc
weighty and insistent as to compel
action on the part of the Legislature
at its next session.
In our opinion no pen in Louisi-
ana can today be enlisted in more
worthy cause than that of ameliora-
ting the sad lot of those poor crea-
lures who now languish ir the COM
mon jails in this State-there to
pine and suffer until death comes to
their relief.
