immigration Bill in Doubt.

The immigration bill has passed the house by majority big enough to make it seem assured that even if President Wilson shall interpose a veto it will be passed despite his ac- tion by the members of the lower house. In the senate, however, there is some doubt about this immigration matter and the fact that there is a doubt shows how sentiment suddenly may change. The immigration bill con- tains a literacy clause, which if en- acted into law, would prevent the ad- mission into this country of immi- grants unable to read.
 For many years the senate has been strong for this literacy test, while the house has not been so eager for It. When President Taft vetoed an immigration bill because of the in- clusion of a literacy test, the senate voted to pass the bill over the presi- dents veto, but the house failed so to do and the bill did not become a law.
 Last year President Wilson vetoed the immigration bill on the same ground that President Taft had vetoed one year or two before. The house failed to pass the bill over the veto and so 1t was not necessary for the senate to act, but it was known in ad vance that if the senate had beer given chance to vote, the necessary two-thirds majority could have beer mustered easily.
 This year the situation has changed It looks today as if the house would pass the bill over the president ant that the senate would not.

SPEEDING UP WORK
BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE ARE MAKING BETTER PROGRESS
 WITH LEGISLATION.
MAY BE THROUGH BY JUNE 15
Upper House, by General Consent, Limiting Debate-Quick Action Be- Ing Obtained on Preparedness Bills -lmmigration Measure in Doubt.
By GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington.-There Is noticeable speeding up in both houses of con gross. It begins to look now as if an adjournment might come early in the summer, possibly by June 15. For the first time in years the senate of the United States is showing disposi- tion to limit debate and it is doing this by the general consent of all the senators.
 The fixing of the vote on the army preparedness bill in the senate for April Is was a huge surprise to the representatives sitting in the lower house because they had made up their minds that their colleagues of the up- per house would discuss the army bill at least until the middle of May. The navy bill probably will be put through the house by April %, and it is un- derstOod that the senate will give it consideration and vote upon it one way or another in shorter time even than it took to discuss the army bill
 The house and senate army bills are so different in their nature that some little time will be taken up in confer ences in order to secure an agreement 1n the form of compromise, but al ready the plans for yielding here and insisting there are being formulated and it seems as if by the time the conferees meet there will be a pretty good general understanding concern ing the paragraphs on which each house is willing to give way.
 Senate Feared CIoture.
 The discussion concerning the ad- visibility of adopting rule limiting debate in the senate was sufficient to make the senators believe that if dis cussions were extended beyond req sonable limits, the rule eventually would be adopted and of course en- forced. It is generally recognized in Washington that the fear of the intro duction and passage of drastic res olution in the senate to cut debates IS largely responsible for the short ness of the speeches in the upper

the taxpayers Of Fremont to date
the enormous sum Of $637 ,062. 20
and that the cost to replace the
plant is $477,099.15.
Note the loss in the merchan-
disc department. of the electric
division 49, $1O,427.25 in three
years time Some one has had a
royal benefit in this account, and
the taxpayers are paying for it.
Look at the bills receivable ac-
count-bills due the city for light
and water service rendered. In
1913 the amount owing on this
account was $12,233.47, the next
847.23 and for the year ending
July 81, 1915, the outstanding bills
reached the enormous sum OF
S23.090.7i, which is practically
&c per cent of the total annual
revenue of the plant.
And how much of the $23, O90.-
"A is collectable? The expert has
no knowledge. He was unac-
quainted with local conditions.
He had no way of determining
whether 40 per cent or SO per
cent was cOllectable. 1t is safe
to assume that a large part OF
the outstanding bills can never be
collected. There's an item which
some day will have to be charged
up to loss account.
The plant has overdrawn its
credit with the city to the amount
of $8,365.27 in cash, and yet 1t
has $4,000 of accounts with
which to help out the cash drawer.
Lovely management And OUT

Interest, too. Beautiful manage
ment!
Ii you were overdrawn at the
bank for $4,000, and had $23, 900
of bills due you would the bank
cali your overdraft? You'll
guess yes.
Member Peter Nelson of the
board Of public works tried to as
certain from the expert how soon
the board could break even. He
inquired:
''Just one word more, Mr.. Ham
ilton; the plant must make up ap-
pruXimately $50, 900 before it gets
even 1t that it?"
Mr.. Hamilton said: 1924, 200
represents the deficit for the last
three years"
What l am trying to get at"
said Mr.. Nelson, you figure 6 per
cent on the $500, 900 present value
ond then add the taxcs?"
Yes, SIR.
THAT would be Approximately
$30,00O," said Mr.. Nelson.
Yes, but you have to make up
that deficit that you started out
with first, which would be approx
imately $4,000"
You figured the present value
at 100000 at 6 per cent on that.
"Nes."
'-ind we have had dels;t
every year?" inquired Mr.. Nelson.
YES" said Mr.. Hamilton, the
last year being the smallest of the
audit, $4,000"
IF we have to pay 100000 be-
fore we are even, that is pretty
big handicap. 1t takes mighty
good business to do that" said
Mr.. Nelson, and he might have
added, it takes mighty good bust
ness men to do it.-Adv.
