IMMIGRATION IS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May How
American manufacturers and produc.
,ers may seize the opportunity for q
tremendous expansion in the foreign
trade of the country to be afforded at
the termination of the war was dis.
cussed yesterday by a number Of
prominent citizens at the Academy OF
Political, and Social Science. Secre-
tary of Commerce Redfield and Sam.
uel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, were among
the speakers. 49, F..
Secretary Redfeld predicted a vast
increase in foreign trade, provided
Americans showed an attitude in seiZ-
ing their opportunities. America may
be easily second and might be the
first in the volume of exports in the
world, he said. ..=.. .s>.
Mr. Gompers, in his address, stated
that the continued prosperity of the
average American depended upon
whether or not the government would
properly restrict immigration. He
feared that the termination of the war
would find immigrants .focking in tre7
mendous numbers to the United
States from the stricken countries of
Europe in an effort to escape the
burden of taxation thu war will GER
tainly, entail. These immigrants will
come impoverished and IN such num-
bers that the labor market will be
seriously glutted.

One of the most significant of re-

SACRAMENTO. Cal, May Cali
fornia, as suffrage state, is deter
mined to accord to women the same
equal rights in all things as are con-
ferred by law. upon men.
This is evident from one Of the pro-
visions in a Bachelor Taxation Bill
introduced into the assembly yester-
day, which. provides that girls be-
tween the ages of 21 and 80 years"
who remain in state of single bless
edness must pay the same tax as is
imposed upon unmarried men.
The only privilege allowed the
equalized sex consists in the fact that
the age limit on bachelor girls runs
out sooner than for bachelor men.
Men must pay the tax up to their
fiftieth year, while girls are exempt
once they have safely passed the age
of so without being led to the altar.

Farmers OF Mayesville Plant Large

MayesVille, Feb. 4.-FrOm all indi-

not confine their planting to cotton.
Many of them have planted quite large
acreages in grain, some Of them hav-
ing sowed wheat for the first time.
If this year is as good as the past
one for all grain crops, the planters in
this vicinity will be in a better condi-
tion next fall than in several years
OF course, there will be a plenty Of
cotton, but nothing like the large
acreage planted in this section in
former years. Tobacco will receive
much attention too and it is hoped to
reopen the market here if the acreage
is sufficiently large in this immediate
territory to warrant the running of
the warehouse here. Quite num-
Der Of the larger farmers are going in
for stock raising too, both cattle and
horses. There is no doubt but that
the planters are alive to the condi-
uons OF things in general and that di-
versified farming shall receive a great
impetus on account Of the present de-
preston on all sides
