new IMMIGRATION
RULING PLEASES
Chinese


General satisfaction was expressed
today by the editors or the Chinese
newspapers published in Honolulu
over the news from Washington to the
effect that Chinese who have left the
United States in possession of the re-
turn certificate prescribed by law will
be permitted to re-enter, when return
ing within the statutory period, with
out examination by the immigration
authorities.
Editor Say Pang Chong of the Wah
Hing Bo stated that considerable trou-
BILE had been experienced in the past,
both at San Francisco and Honolulu,
owing to the fact that Chinese leaving
the United States have found it diff
cult to be readmitted even when they
have had in their possession return
certificates. II was for this reason,
says the editor, that the Chinese Six
Companies made an appeal to Com
missioner of immigration Keefe, which
resulted in the new order being is
sued 1t is said that several thousand
domiciled aliens who are accustomed
TO travel back and forth to China will
be affected by the new ruling.

REFERENDUM hit HARD

ALBANY, Ore, April 20.-A strong
resolution condemning the attempt to
invoke the referendum upon the ap-
rropriation for buildings at the Uni.
versity of Oregon, was adopted by the
Willamette Valley Editorial Associa'
ton, in session here Saturday 1t is
a noteworthy fact that the resolution
was introduced by Ebert Bede, an
editor of Cottage Grove, where the
former referendum movement orig
mated.
The resolution recites that the ref
erendum will necessitate special
election at an expense of $1,000 to
$4,000 to the state; that the associa,
ton believes all educational institu,
tons of the state should be supported
in a manner TO make them efficient
IN the highest degree, and that the
University of Oregon is a valuable
asset to the people of the state. 1t
further recltes that the association
believes that the present attempt to
invoke the referendum is not inspired
by q desire to serve the best inter
ests of the state. but by motives un-
worthy of consideration.
