BAlLEY'S

The four hours which the senate
gave to the swan song of Bailey of
Texas was time we'll invested, pro-
vided 1t was really a farewell. Time
is precious in this month,
but the absence Of Bailey Is worth al
most any price. The Texan, they say,
is to become a New Yorker and that is
for the good of Texas. The closer to
lower Broadway Bailey gets, the more
congenial will be the atmosphere. If
Broadway likes it Texas should be de-
lighted. Bailey is rltra-reactionary.
His warning to the country is con-
tanned in his forecast that direct legis-
lation will destroy our government. If
he meant the present form and nan
ner of our government, he was right.
Direct legislation is for the purpose of
destroying the corporation domination
of our government. We agree with
the Texas swan that direct legislation
will do this.

Unsolved Problems,
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

That there are still many unsolved
problems in the handling of the immi-
grant tide coming to America is a fact
patent to every student of the ques-
ton. Some Of these problems are SO
| knotty as to BATTLE the most earnest
attempts to settle them fully and sat-
isfactorily. Most prominent among
them is the question of qualifications
for entering the country. The house
of representatives insists that the Sit
uation demands an educational quail
f~ication for entrance. That there is a
very large percentage of ignorant i'm
migrants coming into The United
States from eastern and southern
Europe, the figures of the bureau Of
immigration prove. More than a third
of the Syrians. Ruthenians and South
Italians are unable ito read; more than
a fourth of the Croatians, Russians
and Servians; n more than a fifth
of the Bulgarians, Greeks, Lithuanians
and Poles are in the same category.
A literacy test would keep these peo-
pie out.

the ~progenitors of families, who today
form a part of the bone and sinew Of

assent that history Is but repeating it
self: that among those who are COM

there are tens of thousands who will
become the progenitors of families who
will add u to our national human
capital. 1t is claimed that it is not
the ~uneducated foreigner who becomes
our anarchist, our alien agitator or our
rebel against American institutions;
that an illiterate man with an open
mind may be much more fit for ad-
crate one with a mind filled with en-

Those who favor the literacy test
declare that our tide if immigrants

PLY COMMONWEALTH. ~

Helena, Jan. 3.-(Special. )-Despite
the fact that in 1911 and 1912 Mon
tana produced 6,O57, 1856 tons of coal,
exceeding by 545.261 tons the produc-
tior for any previous two-year period,
the demands Of the state are not being
exclusively supplied by it's own mines,
according to the biennial report of
State o Mining Inspector j. b. Nc
Dermott.
This veal witnesses the largest yield
from our coal mines in our history"
writes Mr.. McDermott, f'and we are
not supplying our own demands from
the product of Montana coal mines.
Those of our coal operators who have
in some measure anticipated the wants
and demands Of the public and de.
veloped their mines, are in a position
today to fill large orders and are get
ting the lions share of the trade; if
the smaller operators would push de-.
velopment and keep 1t in advance Of
production. especially during the
warmer months when there is less de.
mand for the coal. the production
would be greater n more men would
be employed during the rush season.
The mines outside Of the state would
not be able to enter and compete for
local or home trade"
. Carbon, Cascade and Musselshell
counties produce the bulk of the coal
in Montana. In 1911 the production
was ~2,913,405 tons of a total value Of
$4,904, 62O.83. In this year Carbon's
coal was valued at 81, 100, 7S4.42, Cas-.
cade's at $1.4S2, STEP. and Mussel-
shells at $1,126,3S4. In 1912 the pro.
duction increased to 3.143,79 tons,
valued at IS, 500. 097, Of which Cartoons
output was valued at $2.362, 695. SO,
MusselshelIs at 1850, 273, and Cas-
cade's at $1.33s.975.s9. Park county
ranks fourth with a production valued

coal, out whose output is valued at
less than $4,000, are Hill, C~houteau,

IMPORTANT.

In the interesting discussion of
prospective legislation at the chamber
of commerce dinner. Thursday night,
there was no topic mentioned which
Weakened livelier interest than the talk
about the dairy interests n their
protection. Also, there was none of
the topics of greater Importance than
this one.
Mr.. Carruthers, presenting the but
tcr-maker's side of the question, said
truly that there should be millions
more pounds of butter made in Mon
tana C year. Instead of importing
dairy products. we should export
them. 1t is more profitable to the
farmer to ship his hay in the form of
beef and butter than it is to sell it
in bales. There are many tom of hay
in the Bitter Root for which there is
no market; had this hay been fed 10
dairy cows through the winter, the
butter would have found quick and
ready sale.

nation. They 40 not assert that every
llllterate alien is a bad citizen, or that
even the majority of them are; they
argue that a good immigrant who can
e M write is better than a good
one who cannot, and hat there are
enough of the former without having
to AXE the latter.
The majority of those who favor a
restricted immigration predicated upon
the belief that the tide has become too
large for assimilation to keep pace
with expansion, favor the literacy test
as the best method of checking it.. But
other methods have been proposed to
accomplish the same result. One of
these is the limitation of the number
of immigrants admitted by restricting
the number Of each race to a certain
percentage. This would simply accept
all that come as now, ~literate and H.
hterate, up to a certain number, and
prevent us from exercising a prefer
ence for hterateS over illiterates.
Still another proposition for restric-
ton Is to exclude all unskilled laborers
who do not conn with their wives or
families. 1t is argued by those who

comes with the intent of making
America his home-an intent that
tends to make a good citizen of him.
Ihose who oppose this plan agree
mat there is much in what its advo-
Gates say, but, on the other hand, there
are so many laborers who come over
and get enough money to bring their
wives or families later that the pro-
vision would shut out tens of thou
sanas or the very people, 1t was meant
to help-the men who want to make
America their home and the home Of
their posterity.
Another method proposed for re-
strieting immigration is to limit the
number of immigrants arriving at any
n port in any one year. BY this
method, 1t Is argued, New York would
be saved from the great congestion
that exists there, and the tide Of hui
mainly could be better distributed to
all parts of the country. This plan
Is opposed by others because it would
throw the immigrant traffic out of its
natural channels. Still another method
proposed is that of raising the head
tax on all immigrants, or of raising
