less there is work for them. We
must, therefore, insist upon the
most rigid economy. 80. ~.
g Legislative housekeeping
Needed.
While the war is on and there
is hull in business, we want all
legislative bodies to take an in
ventory of the statute books and
wipe off all extravaganza and use,
less laws. A good house-cleaning
is needed and economies can be
instituted here and there that will
patch the clothes of INDECENT chill
dren, rest tired mothers and lift
mortgages from respondent
homes. Unnecessary workmen
taken off and useless expenses
chopped down all along the line
will add to the prosperity of the
farmer and encourage him in his
mighty effort to feed and clothe
the world.
If any of these industries have
surplus employees we can use
them on the farm. We have no
regular schedule of wages, but
we pay good farm hands on an
average of S1.50 per day of thir-
teen hours when they board
themselves; work usually runs
about nine months of the year
and the three months dead time,
they can do the chores for their
board. If they prefer to farm on
their own account, there are more
than l4,OO0,000,000 acres of idle
land on the earth's surface await
ing the magic touch of the pillow,
The compensation is easily OBJ
tainable from Federal Agricul-
tural Department statistics. The
total average annual sales of a
farm 2 ins the continental United
States amount TO, $4,000; the
cost of operation is $4,000; leav-
ing the farmer $176 per annum
to live on and educate his family,
There is no occasion for the
legislatures making a position for
surplus employees of industry. Let
them come back to the soil'' and
share with us the prosperity OF
the farm.

ANTHONY CAMINETTI, COMMISSIONER OF
IMMIGRATION.
Some of them afterward returned and
presented themselves for admission.
Judges Of the naturalization courts
have held that such absence from this
country in the armies and fighting
under their native allegiance broke
the continuity of residence for natural
ization purposes and denied their ap-
plicatiOns.
Among the approximately 100000
foreign alien residents, 1,65O,361 are
classed as illiterate. These are the
natural prey of the designing and
scheming foreigners and natives as
well at every turn. They compel them
to pay tribute, both in cash and blood,
for every service, both real and imag-
ined, and in the qualification of their
desires, however INSCRIPTIONS or un-
natural. For years this condition has
been studied by the bureau of natural
ization in its application to the adj
ministration of law. It Is safe to say
that, although 5000 foreigners have
been refused citizenship because OF
mental and moral unfitness, at least
that many have been admitted in spite
Of these deficiencies during the period
If federal supervision. The courts
have been reluctant to refuse citizen
ship to candidate even though he
be ignorant of our institutions or or
the privileges conferred upon him.
Especially is this SO where there are
no facilities offered by the cities
and towns where the petitioners live
for overcoming these defects. In many
places the public schools have, under
the inspiration of the bureau, opened
their doors to the foreigner and taught
him the duties of citizenship. and In
these places the courts have refused
citizenship unless the candidates could
come up to the higher standard brought
about by federal supervision. These
have been tried with success.
During the last year over 335.OOO Tor
eigners declared their intention and pc
titioned for naturalization. This Is the
high water mark since federal supervi-
sion. The federal census shows that
the foreign population is many times
greater than the number who come Tor
ward for citizenship. In many states
the proportion Of candidates for cit'-
xenship is at the lowest ebb. In no
state does 1t exceed 30 per cent. while
IN some states It Is as low as Per cent.
This IL true Of the number OF foreign
err who take out their first papers ana
those who become citizens.
