DR.. ]. II. Landau of this city has
been appointed as the member for
New Mexico of a committee formed
in New York city to protest against
the literacy test in the Smith immi
grafton bill, now before the United

ested several Of the prominent men of
the state in this question and already
several letters, signu by them, have
been sent to United States Senators
r. B. Catron and A. B. Fall,
Charles Ifeld of this city also has
interested himself in the work and
has written to the senators. The J.
p. Rosenwald lodge Of the l. o. B. B.
recently held meeting and passed
resolutions condemning the literacy
test as "un-American and inhuman in
spirit, and as calculated to close the
gates Of America to large numbers Of
desirable immigrants who seek refuge
in the United States from religious
and political persecution"
The literacy test provides that NJ
immigrant shall be allowed to entel
the United States unless he is able
to do certain amount of reading ant
writing in the English language. II
was Incorporated in the Burnett i'm
migration bill some time ago and was
passed by the United States house ol
representatives and by the senate
The bill was, however, vetoed by
President Taft. The same measure
was written into the present immigra
ton BILL known as the Smith bill
This has been passed by the house
Of representatives and is now before
the senate. In a letter received by
DR.. Landau from C. V. Stafford, secTe
tary to Senator T. B. Catron, the in
formation is given that the bill has
gone over until after the Christmas
recess but will be considered imme
diately after the senate reconvenes.
"The clause as to literacy in tht
bill doubtless will be amended tt
quite a considerable extent, and vii
not be the drastic measure as sci
forth in the original draft Of the bill,
says Mr.. Saffords letter.
If the bill is passed with the literacy
clause in it. it is thought that the
measure win be vetoed by President
Wilson.
