JAPANESE DISPUTE
 CROPS OUT AGAIN
ViSCount Chinda ConferS With
 President on Immigration Bill

Washington, April 21.-Viscount i Chlnda, the Japanese ambassador, conferred with President Wilson to- day over the provision of the pending immigration bill, which proposed to enact into law the so-called gentle mans agreement restricting the i'm migration of Japanese laborers. X memorandum on subject has been presented to the state department.
 The proposed inclusion in a law of an informal agreement which Japan has promised on honor to fulfill, tac- cording to the agreement between for mer Secretary Root and former Am- bassador Takahira, is understood to be the subjects of objection.
 Keeping Soft PcdaI' On.
 For many obvious reasons the at titude of the administration is said to be one of disinclination to irritate sthe situation between Japan and the Unit cd States, which has been shoulder ing since the California anti-alien land law negotiations went into 4an indefinite stage three, years ago. Ad- ministration officials are not unmind- ful of anti-Asiatic sentiment in con- gress, particularly among members from the Pacific coast states and their constant endeavor has been to allay it.
 The United States never has re- piled to Japan's last note on the Cali fornia land law.
 The last that was said on the sub- ject was said by former Secretary Bryan to Ambassador Chinda, when the negotiations got into the state of apparent deadlock and the am- bassador on taking his departure from a conference at Secretary Bry- ans office inquired if he were to transmit the last word of the United States to his government.
 To that Secretary Bryan replied: "There never can be a last word be- tween friends
 One portion of the bill which is understood to draw the resentment of the Japanese government is the in- clusion, by inference at least, of Jap anese in the excluded class with Hin- dus, although the same paragraph of the bill excepts from the exclusion such as are covered in existing agreements"
 This phrase refers to the Root-Ta- kahlra agreement.

A Newspapers Real Assets.

How long has it been, anyway, since the Kansas City Star supported a man for mayor in that city who was suc- cessful at the polls .-Howard Cour- ant.
 That is not the way to put the ques- ton. The way to state the question in terms that will bring out the real worth of a newspaper is this: "How many times has it supported a man who ought not to have won; or how many times has it supported a man who should have won?"
 A newspapers victories are it's lia- bilities. It's real assets are the dick ings it gets when it is right, and the fool folks wake up too late to find this out.-William Allen White in the En- poria (Kan.) Gazette.

AGAINST MODEL ROADS
Times Democrat Comes
Out In Editorial Protest Against
Bond Issue.

The current issue of the Flemings-
burg Times-Democrat contains the
following editorial in reference to the
proposed $4,000 bond issue for good
roads:
Judging by expressions from repre-
sentative farmers from different sec
tons of the county on Monday we are
fully convinced that the thinking peo-
pie of the county fully agree with us
in regard to the folly Of reconstructing
our pixies as so-called model roads
under state supervision. They see
very plainly the unwisdom of tearing
up the roadbed and narrowing the road
to twelve feet. And II a bond issue
should be submitted to a vote on the
basis of using the proceeds to modelize
the roads under state supervision then
the bonds would be defeated by de-
cislve majority. The only plan which
seems feasible to us is to have a con-
stitutional amendment adopted per-
hitting a raise of the rate for road
purposes from 25 cents to so cents
on the $780, We are aware that rails
ing the rate is not a popular measure
as a rule, but what else can we do to
save our pixies? A bond issue is simply
postponing the evil day. That bond
issue will have to be met, principal
and interest, by money drawn from
the people by taxation There is no
other source from which it can be
drawn. And when we are paying ii
of we will be wearing out our roads
and making little or no repairs. The
result Will be that we shall have worse
roads at the end of the bond period
than We have now.
Any system which seeks to hand
down to posterity a burden of debt
without leaving some assets to show
for the expenditure of the money rep
resented by that debt is a false and
va W AoG OlAts
If we must vote bonds let us first
get ourselves in shape to do so by pro-
viding for levy sufficient to meet the
annual interest and provide a sinking
fund to relieve the bonds as they be-
come due without taking a cent from
the rs cents fund provided for the
maintenance of the roads.
No man, no body, no corporate nor
politics can hope to get something for
nothing by issuing bonds. Pay day
will come and it generally comes be-
fore we are prepared for it. Let us
look into this matter squarely in the
face and meet it on business principles.

SHORTAGE OF PAPER DISCUSSED

New York, April 27-The shortage
of white print paper and means for
meeting the unprecedented situation
we're discussed yesterday by news
paper publishers from all parts OF
the United States in attendance at the
annual convention of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association.
Because the demand for print paper
is expected to be greatest, as usual,
during the next thirty days, the pub
fishers were urged to employ every
method of saving, even to the cutting
down of margins.
Reasons for the shortage of white
paper were outlined in a report by
Lincoln b. Palmer manager of the
association. He pointed out that the
demand for print paper began 10 IN
crease in the spring with the in
crease of circulation and the greater
demand for advertising space.
In addition, he said, the European
war has diverted from England and
Scandinavia many South American
