FUTURE OF THE SMALL TOWN

A Nebraska weekly newspaper calls
attention to the fact that the popula
tion of its town has decreased II per
cent in the last. year, It may be nat
ural to regard the situation as purely
local and go to inquiring for the rea-
sons upon that ground. But, accord
ing to statistics prepared by the Ma
tional Federation of Retail Merchants.
5000 country towns in eight states
have actually been losing population
in late years Our national census
showeda that for the last decade the
largest percentages of population
growth were made in the larger places.
That census for the purpose of class
ification regarded as urban all COM
nunities of more than $500 and rural
farming communities any town of less
than $500. It showed that the gen..
eral gain in population of the United
States from 1900 to 1910 was 21 per
cent, in urban population 81 per cent
and rural only 11.2 per cent. In 1880
70.5 per cent of our total population
was rural in 1890, $50 per cent, in
1900, 59,5 per cent, and in 1910, 53.7
per cent, showing therefore, the con-
tinuous, drift of the tide of population

| New Immigrant Station

- Unofhcially it is announced that success IS
about to attend the efforts OF Immigration
Commissioner Caminetti to make Alcatraz island
the principal Pacific coast immigrant station
Commissioner Camnetti's plans are said to in
clude the removal of the federal prison to Fort
Point The old fortress is being dismantied and,
according to the unofficial reports, is to be, re-
modelled to conform to the requirements of mod
ern prison plant.
The immigration station at Angel island has
long been inadequate and anything but credit to
the federal government or the port of San Fran
cisco.
Alcatraz island offers an ideal site for a great
immigrant landing station. 1t is accessible and its
very location would insure against some of the
niggardy indifference that has marked the man
agement of the Angel island station.
With the opening of the Panama canal, San
Francisco is going to become the port of entry
for thousands of European immigrants every
month
The men and women who are coming from
southern, central and northern Europe to people
the valleys of California and the great plains of
Idaho and Wyoming are coming first to San Fran
cisco.
The Angel island station is hopelessly unfit to
handle the present traffic of the port And until
radical Improvements are made it must be consid-
cred unfit even for quarantine detention station.
Undoubtedly the new prison buildings recently
completed on Alcatraz could be remodeled and
utilized a part of the immigrant station equip
ment
The suggested changes involve infinitely less
expense than the construction of either an entirely
new immigrant station or a new prison. They also
suggest the easiest method for the federal gov
ernments redemption of an obligation it owes to
itself and to the Pacific coast.

[Ient and the Monroe Doctrine

n William Kent congressman from the first
4A California district is of the opinion that the
Monroe doctrine is obsolete and that it should have
been abandoned more than so years ago.
Mr. Kent has given twofold expression to his
disapproval of a policy which most Americans
regard as sacred as the bill Of rights.
He has caused to be published in the Congress
sional Record and as public document an essay
denunciatory of the Monroe dictrine, written by a
professor at Yale
That none might be in doubt to his personal
attitude Mr. Kent has sent this essay with letter
of Endorsement to all the members of congress. And
to an interviewer he is quoted saying:
"It would have been good thing if France had
taken Mexico in the sixties, because then we would
have had good neighbors instead of lot OF
hyenas."
1t is true that our Mexican neighbors are
troublesome Thousands of good Americans will
insist that Mr. Kents "hyena" designation is not too
strong for many of them
But concession of all that is no reputation OF
the Monroe doctrine He is but an Indifferent
statesman who will permit his disgust with the
Mexican situation to make him an enemy OF the
policy that has preserved the republican form Of
government on the American continent,
Some of the peoples of Latin America may
have failed to attain even an approximation of the
highest ideals of self-government. The Monroe
doctrine has given them the right and the oppor-
tunity to strive for those ideals
President Clevelands splendid assertion of the
Monroe doctrine in the Venezuelan controversy
stands out, and will stand out, in history the
biggest accomplishment of president whose right
to rank with the nations greatest is now freely
conceded
Abrogation of the Monroe doctrine means the
gobbling of Latin America by the great European
powers. It means that the United States oppor-
tunity for commercial supremacy in Latin America
will be gone forever.
1t means reputation of the principle dearest to
every true American heart-the belief that the right
of government is the God given right of every
man.
1t means disruption OF American plans for
permanent world peace. 1t means abandonment Of
the hopes underlying the construction of the
Panama canal.
The good sense of the American people has
stood squarely behind the Monroe doctrine for more
than century. The good sense and the patriotic
good faith of the American people will preserve that
doctrine invioate while their government shall
endure.

St. Francis Alterations

James Woods, manager of the st.

be held in October While in New York
Mr.. Woods spent about 100000 for fur

. cans More Money

W. Washington advices indicate that Secretary
of Agriculture Houston has entered enthus-
astically into the plan for the establishment of
cattle quarantine station in this port.
The secretary has requested Congressman Kahn
to furnish him with estimates of the cost of tract
of from six to eight acres suitable for the station
and the three buildings which to be parts of it.
The establishment OF the proposed station in San
Francisco should work to the advantage of all
California. The importation Of large numbers of
cattle for feeding and for immediate slaughter, it
would seem, could not fail favoraby TO affect the
price of meats throughout the state.
Besides that consideration the establishment of
quarantine station here will mean the expenditure
of large sums Of money by the federal government; !;
the establishment of industries and more wages
for more men.
The establishment OF quarantine station at San
Francisco is not to result in relaxation of the
embargo against Asiatic and African cattle. Only
European and South American cattle are to be
admitted at this port
The announcement of Secretary Houston's
attitude is good news, and is prophetic of a new
trade and of added wealth for this port.

toward the city and away from the
farm and small town.
To seek the causes, then, is obvi-
ously something of a task, although
each community owes it to itself to
take an inventory Of its affairs and
see what it can do toward improve
ment. The complaint is made that the
automobile and good roads, reducing
time and distance and the cost of
transportation, operate as factors
against the small town to the ad-
vantage OF the nearby city by divert
ing trade to the latter. Perhaps this
is true, but haven't we been CO. -operat-
ing toward this very end Of bringing
the country and the city closer to-
gether as one Of the essentials in the
solution of our chief economic prob
lens? This only serves to remind US
that modern progress can not be
achieved without cost, but levies it's

methods of compensation, and ii is
for us all to work out these in be-

The Automobile Tax

According to the estimates made by State
Highway Engineer Fletcher the new automo-
bile tax law, which becomes effective in January,
will produce sufficient funds for the maintenance
of the state highway system.
Mr.. Fletcher estimates the gross revenue from
the tax law at $750O00 year, or an average of
$40 each Is 900 pleasure and business motor cars
Half of this sum will go to the state and under
the terms Of the law must be used for roads The
state highway system planned under authority of
the S18000O0O bond act provides foT total Of 700
miles of state road.
Accepting Mr.. Fletcher's estimates as approx
mately accurate, the state will receive S3750O0
year from the automobile tax That will provide
maintenance fund $50 for every mile of road in
the state system II
OF course it will be several years before there is
anything like 200 miles of completed road in the
state system which means that pending its compile
ton the automobile tax will furnish maintenance
fund of much more than $3.50 mile
Properly constructed road and there has been no
criticism Of the states roads, can be kept in good
condition for $3.50 mile if needed repairs are given
immediate attention
While the new automobile tax law means much
to the state highway SYSTEM it means even more to
many of the counties Half the tax collected under
the law goes to the county in which the automobile
taxed is owned.
Under the terms of the law the counties shares
OF the revenue must go into road funds and be
expended for the construction or betterment of
roads.
San Franciscos share in the automobile tax re-
ceipts is estimated at from SIS 900 to $4,000 year
or enough to build from one to three miles of
excellent boulevard.
That is worth while. The law is the result of
the efforts of the men who to pay the freight

hoped that the derived from its enforcement
will be expended to the advantage Of those respon-
sble for it.
