| Washington, June 22.-Wnile committees
OF both houses of Congress are prepar-
ing to press immigration reforms at the
next session, Speaker Clark is giving at
| tentions to the other side of the question.
EmigrationH the speaker said in state
l-noent toiajght, is costing the United States
millions of dollars year in actual money,
aside from the loss involved in giving up
a real American to be replaced by a for
eign immigrant
1T is high time" said Mr.. Clark, that
! more attention be paid to the influence
of emigration upon our future These
Americans who are leaving us understand
our institutions, our ways and our aspira-
tions while most of the immigrants who
enter this country have to he taught these
thirgs.
In one week not long since, 1S45 Amer
ican farmers with $685. 500 in cash and
Sl45,000 in personal property. crossed into
western Canada to settle permanently in
British North America That's an aver
age OF s2sS per capita and that week was
below the weekly average into that region

'These emigrants are among our best
citizens. I am personally acquainted with
200 800 of them. There is not bad or
shiftless man in the lot. They are seek
ing to better their condition. The princi-
pal reason they expatrate themselves is
the lure of cheaper lands and a less strin-
gent land law as to homesteading, etc.
Congress should make homestead
conditions as easy as possible, compatible
with safety and should increase the area
for home building by judicious encourage
ment of both irrigation and drainage. A
statiscian has figured that the average
adult citizen is of the money value of
500, considered solely as an asset to the
country If this Is true, the 1915 Amer
lean farmers who crossed the Canadian
border depleted the assets of the republic
that week by $2.S7S,500, which multiplied
