 Representative Hayes of California made the principal argument for the Asiatic exclusion provisions.

 MT. Hayes said the people of the Pacific coast had no prejudice against the Japanese although they earnestly desired this legislation.

Our people cannot com work and live and grow rich upon that pete with them The Oriental can upon which the Concession would starve. Secondly, almost as important, IS that we do not desire to see inn ported upon the Pacific coast another race question.

RELIEF IN FL CENTRO
Republican A. P. Leased Wire]

FL CENTRO, Cal, March 24.-An- nouncement that United States troops had been ordered here was received with a feeling of relief tonight by residents of Fl Centro. While there has been no trouble threatening here as result of the Mexican situation, the presence of American troops, it was believed, will serve to allay the uneasiness which has been manifest for some time. News that the troops were to be sent here followed closely a visit to Fl Centro by Adjutant Gen. erol C. w. Thomas, of the national guard of California. However, the authorities here were unable to say whether the action was the result of any recommendation he might have made.

Vermont's Own Housekeeping.


In presidential election national

IS especially true in states like Yer

majority with nomination practical
~ equivalent to an election.
Whlle the people of Vermont are in
tensely interested in the success of the
national policy of protection for Amer
lean industries, and the maintenance
OF American rights everywhere. we are
vitality concerned in our own household
expenses. The doubling of expenses in
some OF our state activities has led us
TO inquire where the leaks are and to

Reducing Of Commissions.
(St. Johnsburv CALIFORNIAN


The statement of Horace f. Graham.
the next governor of Vermont, that
the 90 commissions now existing in the
state should be reduced one half is be-
ing well received by the audiences he
IS addressing. We believe he is right
IN this suggestion but the actual re-
duction of commissions will need ser
ious consideration.
To our mind the first step should be
the creation of a board of control or
executive board consisting of the gov
ernor of the state and two men ap-
pointed by him and confirmed by the
senate, which should have the active
management of the state business. They
should have stated meetings and keen
close watch on the conduct of the
state business and in general have
charge of the purchase of all supplies
for the state. The salaries Of these
three men should be made commensu-
rate with the Importance of their posi-
tlon. The governor should be the head
of such board because he is respon-
slble for the conduct of the state bust
ness and should be in position to con
troll 1T. 1t might interfere somewhat
with his appearance at public gather
ings, but we believe he could do the
state more service as manager than as
a talker at public functions.
With such board created and given
authority to conduct business. boards
Of trustees for the different state insti-
buttons could be abolished and a super
intendent capable of managing the in
stltution in his charge put at the head
of the different institutions like the
State Hospital for Insane, the state
prison, etc.
The state treasurer should collect all
the revenues of the state and perform
the duties now performed by the com
missioner of taxes. The inspection of
industrial plants, settlement of indus
trial disputes and awarding of compen-
sation to injured employees should be
handled by one board. We also like
the recommendation of Mr.. Graham
that the health department be placed
IN the control of one commissioner of
public health rather than a board of
health as at present
This is not complete plan for re-
duclng commissions and effectino more

ton for consideration of the people
and further changes can be suggested
as they occur. We believe the sugges.

Two Years More?
Boston Transcript

Boston Transcript
The elaborate analysis of the mill
tary situation in Europe, which the
Providence journal had from a source
evidently not far from the military
command of the Entente Allies. and
which assigned a probable further du-
ration OF two years to the war, was high
~ plausible from the military point of
view, but it failed to take sufficient
account of economic and moral con-
slderatlons. 1t treats the war as a
military deadlock-dismissin the hope
of real break in the German line,
and placing its dependence, so far as
the Allies campaign is concerned,
upon such tactical attrition as NAV be
accomplished by lengthening the Ger
man line with repeated zig-zag
breaches. Such process as that might
well require two years more; and it is
to be said that Kitchener Joffre and
Hang have never encouraged the idea
OF rapid stroke or a quick termina-
tlon. Whatever hopes they may have
had IN their own hearts, these men and
other allied commanders have been ex-
tremely conservative i'll their claims. 1t
IS only the Germans who have dreamed
Of swallowing the enemy at gulp.
But though the Allies do we'll to face
their military problem in so patient and
determined a way, as if prepared to
night 1t out on that line if it takes a
whole decade, it may well be asked if
the generals expect that the resources
of the Germans will hold out so long as
that, or if they really expect that their
own brave peoples will be content to
bear the awful burden so long. 1t is
not alone that the necessary billions
are coming harder and harder. The diff
heulties of the richest and most fnan-
cialiy resoureeful of the belligerents.
Great Britain, are well known to us.
Britain is still in pretty good position.
but the empire s limit of taxability is
reached, and the people begin to halk
at the dreadful burden they must carry
as long as they live, and which their
children must carry after them. Brit
ain borrows Il paltry $500, 100000 in our
market Ill one day, and it goes up in
smoke the next. Germany's situation
is certainly worse. Meanwhile the NOR
al state of the peoples, facing slaughter
and even greater slaughter, shows
signs of breaking. 1t is in reality an
awful game of bluff, glorified by hero
ism. Admit the heroism-but the de-
bacle looms through the lurid mist.
Scarcely anyone hopes for the end in
less than year, but if we may guess
the future from the record of the past
we may well conclude that neither the
purse nor the heart of the world will
endure a longer continuation of the
tight drawn battle than that.
