UNITED MANOA
WANTS PAVING
Plan EXPEDITED
Only One Protest at Meeting
Which PUTS 1t Up to" Sup
ervisors General Feeling
That Property Owners In
tereSted Will Not Stand More
That TWo-cent Assessment
lcontinued on page twol

Residents of the Manoa Improve
ment district have gotten together
and have definitely approved plan
for street paving in that section of the
district With virtual unanimity they
have indorsed scheme providing for
asphalt-macadam paving of all the
roads and streets with the exception
CT East Manoa road, which is to be
made of concrete or bitulithic because
it has been selected as the main artery
OF travel.
AT last nights public hearing held
by the board of supervisors the Manoa
people evinced keen interest in the
project, and by presenting practical
ly united front, put it sQuarely up to
the board of supervisors to @get busy
and get the work under way.
Even though the supervisors, who
have taken the matter under advise
ment until tomorrow night, act at
once, it may be spring of next year
before actual work on the roads can
begin, for as was pointed out last night
it will take two months at least to
prepare definite plans and specifca-
tions for the contractors to figure on.
That will take the matter up to the
middle of September. Then there is
necessary work on the curbing. sewer,
gas and water mains which must pre-
eede paving This; latter work is like
ly to be under way well into the middle
Of November and by that time the
winter rains will keep the Manoa
roads too wet for work on asphalt
macadam roads. which, to be durable.
must be laid in dry weather.

A well-known Manoa resident who
has been closely following the mani
fold turns of the improvement project
said today:

summarized as follows:

one exception, indorsed the plans OF

Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1915-01-27

The Republican party is hard up for presidential tinoer if Senator
Borah's recent speech, which G. O. p. papers acclaim as putting him in
the running for the 1916 nomination. is to be accepted as a fair sample
OF Republican capabilities.
Here is a gem of truth and logic from the Borah utteranCe: Having
built n canal and given it to England, we now want to build another
and give it o Germany This presumably is writ sarkastk' and mean
as a drive against the Administrations canal policy as represented in the
repeal OF the free tolls measure Senator Borah, like many Republicans
party OF recent years is essentially and fundamentally a party OF specItl
privilege. But the Idaho statesman ought to have greater respect tor
the intelligence of the common people than to imagine that they would
be mis1ed by such partisan drivel As the quoted uterance typhes.
Senator Borah knows very we'll as all other intelligent persons
know, that the United States has granted no special favors or privileges
to Great Britain with respect to the Panama canal He knows that the
repeal OF the free tolls act simply conferred the benefits of the canal
upon ships OF all nations upon equal terms.
Senator Borah is not at all candid. If he was he would admit tat
the only persons in the world who would benefit by free tolls for Amer
lean ships are the American ship-owners. II he was candid, he would say
frankly that the whole American people-not the shp-owners-buit the
canal and are paying for it; that Il coastwise vessels already have q
monopoly OF the business, since foreign vessels are 10 allowed TO engage
in it, and that to grant them free tolls on top OF that concession would
be equivalent to paying them a BONUS for enjoying a monopoly.
OF course Senator Borah, as a practical politician, cannot be expected
to make any such damaging admissions, but his effort to play upon the
supposed ignorance and thoughtessness of the people does not reveal
thar the people are not so thoughless and ignorant as he fondly imagined.

THE NEW IMMIGRATION

The changed character OF immigration into the United States is
strIngly shown in the report OF the commissioner general of immigra-
ton. In the fiscal year ending June sc, 1914. before the war "a thought

$3.50 left it. a net gain of 5S4G5. The gain VIZ S1530S in 1918.

Re-emigrations are difficult to note accurately. especially on the Can
OF immigration has been balanced by emigration. The outflow a quick
end by the Balkan and Tnpol wars; the present great war has caused
another wave OF repatriation. besides cutting off the inflow, so that this
fiscal year will show the smallest immigration gains in a generation.
Immigrants who look forward to returning home do not seek natur-
ahzaGon as did the newcomers of thirty years ago. Then New York
Citys voe per head OF population wa not much behind the rest of the
country. Last fall it did not reach one in nine, against Vermonts one
in six. New York state outside OF the city is now less populous buf
casts a vote 100000 to 100000 greater.
The most desirable immigrants unfortunately, are those who go
back. War reservists are men in Il prime of life. A criminal who has
left his country for his countrys God does not brave its jans again.
Though the Immigrant service rejected last year 33041 undeIrables, Com
missioner General Camnetti does 40 claim that exclusion was, nearly
