Foreigners fo Be Prohibited from
 U. S. for 4 Years

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Prohi- bition of immigration for four years after the war, except from Cuba, Mexico, Canada, and New Foundland, was agreed 1pon unani- mously today by the house immi- grafton committee.
 Chairman Burnett announced that he would ask for special rule to permit early consideration of the measure.
 If the bill is not passed by the present congress, its purpose will be partially defeated,' Mir. Burnett said. 1t is intended to prevent a great flood of immigration coming here as soon as peace is signed, and drive our own people out of work and also to keep out the boIsheviki. Delay in passing the bill will be harmful to the best interests of the country"
 Considerable discussion arose in the committee in regard to wheth- CT the bill should be effective for two or four years, but the longer period was decided upon by a vote of seven to two. A number of amendments ac- cepted, permit the admission of rel atives of aliens, already in this country, and of persons skilled in certain occupations and profess sions.

The Road Bonds.

The Supreme Court Of the State
OF Louisiana handed down last
Monday an opinion which Gets al
rest the validity of the st. Mary
road bonds, as we'll as similar
bonds issued in other parishes 10
the State. Associate Justice Chas.
A. O'Niell was the organ of the
court. II appears that the court Q
short time ago had rendered q
decision which. If adhered to by
the court, would materially affect
tho legality of road bonds like
those recently voted for by the
taxpayers of the Parish of St
Mary. In that case 1t was held
that bonds eimilarIy provided for
was unconstitutional; that there
were two amendments to the con.
stitution 10 reference to the issu.
ance of parish road bonds, Arti-
cles 2Sl and POI. and that the one
last adopted was contradictory OF
and took the place of the one first
adopted as far az the issuance of
parish road bonds are concerned
In the case decided last Monday,
however. Justice O'Niell In a clear
and we'll considered opinion, de.
clded that there was no couflic.
between these articles of the con.
etitution; that they must snd were
intended 10 be construed together,
and that Article 29l was adopted
10 aid or in furtherance of Article
2oi. The court, therefore, over.
ruled and Get aside the opinion
formerly rendered and decided
tquarely and uncquivocably in
favor OF the constltutionality OF
the road bond issue.
This should be conclusive OF the
whole matter. The doubt cast on ;
The legality Of the issuance of the
road bords h wing been cleared
away, the work on road improve. 3
meDt will now, We hope, continue
on rapidly to complexion.
